They Are Often Due to the Apathy of
the Judge and Jury.
TIE CALL has already adverted to the
strange apathy displayed by the Judges.
iuries and officials OF the interior towns
toward the crime OF Illegal fishing.
Now George McCrmmon, Fish atrol No.
10, one OF the most active and energetic OF
the force, who of late has displayed consid-
cradle zeal in experimenting and prosecuting
the Chinese fish pirates in his locality. sends
an interesting communication on this sub
ject He writes;
"A. 7. Gartley, Fred Saw. Daniel Dorm.
j. j. Mcmahon, q. Bloom. Nj. Tagort. G.
Messick and Thomas Mcmahon are the
names of the gentlemen who recently tried
case Of illegal fishing with Chinese stur-
ge0n lines. The lines themselves and the
fish caught on them were placed in evil
dence, and the testimony of fish expert was
heard. The evidence against the accused
was conclusive and practically undenied
yet the jury acquitted them.
They are citizens OF this town. said
the jury. who are trying to make an honest
living, and we could not feel ourselves jusii-
fed in finding them guilty of violating any
laws of this State"
This farcieal trial was held at Martinez
only last Saturday. Patrolman McCrimm0n
tells of another cases that was tried in
Antioch:
Here the prisoners admitted everything
and denied nothing, still the jury acquitted
them on the ground that by fning the ac-
cnsed 1t would take just that much money
out OF the town. One OF the jurymen told
me this, and said we ought to be shot on
slghf, that we were nothing but informers,
and IN Ireland they killed such men.
In Contra Costa County q case of illegal
fishing Is acquitted before 1t is tried The
accused demand jury trial, and the con-
engaged in fishing as jurymen. We. being
strangers In the town, do not know-these
men. and are powerless to prevent packed
jury"
What Patrolman AIcCrimmnn saws ia.
unfortunately, only too true. Public senti
ment itself In many OF the interior towns is
entirely dead on the subject Of illegal fish
ing. and those who do interest themselves in
the matter at all are those pecuniarily and
otherwise interested in the continuance of
the law-breaking
When some Of these towns wake up and
ind their fish supply entirely exhausted

CHINESE FISHING CAMP NEAR BADEN.

use net with small meshes And the per-
centage Of young founders, sole and bass
that are caught in their seines Is said to be
enormous.
The draggers have no use for this small
fish, but they find it impossible 10 operate
as trey DO without catching large quantities
of them.
They have never been nolested in their
work. the Fish Commissioners maintaining
tnat they do not break the law by dragging
in that part of the bay.
What is the law on this point?
That every person VINO, by seine or any
other meaus, shall catch thu young fish of
any species, and who shall not return the
same to the water Immediately and alive, T"
etc
Barring the bad grammar this is a good
law. but as The CALL has already shown
at great length, it is a very dead law.
Now, II the patrolmen will take the pains
to examine into this phase of the case they
VIII find that II is utterly impossible for the
draggers to comply with the law, that is to
return the young to the "water immedi-
atelY and alive"
Long after the seiue is hauled out of the
water hundreds and thousands OF the young
fsh ensnared are dead as doOrnaiis or
ShIngle-nails or any kind of nails.
1t Is simply impossible to return these
young fish to the water alive.
What then?
Let the law go by the board and the
dragging and thus enforce the law as TO the
destruction of young fish?
Inc former course is the easiest It has
been adopted by the Fish Commissioners.
Manifestly, anything that interferes w it'll
the operation OF a just law is itself illegal.
Now 1t is as plain as the nose on your face
that you can't drag a seine In the vicinity
of spawning ground without killing all the
! young fish.
Do the Fish Commissioners deny this?
iof fo 4 TSIa nd
the dumb yet noisome evidence of the truth
of their assertion.
SO bold have tie drsggers become that
they actually do not waste time in throwing
the little fish back into the water.
or course, 1t would be Of no good to the
fish themselves to be returned 10 the water
when dead. but such course would hide
the evidence of the law-hrea king and re-
move the cause of a powerful stencil in that
neighorhood.
IL the great body of the whiteifshermen

find thsir greatest encouragement should

dried Young fish.
Every body at South San Francisco seemed
10 know that the Chinese caught young fish
IN their shrimp-nets The fact was no Sc
cret
Why don't the Fish Commission put a
stop to this work?
Then there are the white draggers off
nigel Island. They have become so bold
that they cast their dead young fish On the
shore 10 rot in the sun.
AND these are only two Of 80 similar cases.
All Ong the bay on every hand, even to
the rivers and straits that empty into the
bay, there is fearful slaughter OF young
hsh going on continually.
1t is important that the public should
know these facts, and 1t is doubly important
that knowing, the public should rouse Itself
and do something to prevent the devastation
and extinction of the edible fish in this bay.
Evidently the authorities know little, and
care less, about the " Wholesale fish-slaughter.
cri>l: is being reached in this matter.
and in this as in every crisis the public
must step in and demand its rights, make
itself felt and feared.
That public opinion is being reused on the
subject is amply attested by the many COM
munications which reach THE CALL daily.
urging that this or that course be PURSUED
10 stop the great slaughter of young fish.
But HE CALLS work is TO point out the
danger. 1t is for the people TO act accord

Meanwhile what is the Fish Commission
going - do in the premises?
The public is still anxious TO know
