374 INVESTIGATION OF THE FUR-SEAL INDUSTRY OF ALASKA. 



The "doped" sales sheet of London broker, 

 which Lucas presented as genuine. 



The Chairman. Is that correct? 



Dr. Lucas. No; I have the same thing 

 of that very sale, which came from Mr. 

 Fraser, Lampson & Co.'s agent in New 

 York. 



Mr. Elliott. I do not dispute the nota- 

 tions; but, Fraser did not attend the sale; 

 he has made them outside. 



The Chairman. I would suggest that 

 we print both statements in the record 

 and compare them afterwards. These 

 two statements may be marked "Exhibit 

 A," submitted by Dr. Lucas, and "Ex- 

 hibit B," offered by Mr. Elliott. 



The documents referred to are as fol- 

 lows: 



"Exhibit A. 



"CM. Lampson & Co. exposed to sale by 

 auction at the College Hill public sales- 

 room on Friday, December 15, 1911, at 

 2 o'clock precisely, the following goods, 

 viz, 12,002 salted fur-seal skins, Alaska. 

 Prompt, December 29, 1911. 



"The purchasers are particularly re- 

 quested to have some one in attendance 

 to superintend the counting, as no 

 claim for deficiencies can be allowed 

 after the goods have been counted and 

 delivered from the warehouse." 



The genuine sales sheet of the London 

 broker, given to committee. 



The Chairman. Where does this list 

 that you have come from? 



Mr. Elliott. From Lampson's agent in 

 New York. 



The Chairman. I would suggest that 

 we print both statements in the record 

 and compare them afterwards. These 

 two statements may be marked "Exhibit 

 A," submitted by Dr. Lucas, and "Ex- 

 hibit B," offered by Mr. Elliott. 



The documents referred to are as fol- 

 lows: 



"Exhibit B. 



"C. M. Lampson & Co. Exposed to sale 

 by auction at the College Hill public 

 sale room on Friday, December 15, 1911,
