BEEKS HOLDS
 JAP POACHERS

Commissioner Beeks decided yes- ter day that the Japanese poachers are not entitled to discharge as poor convicts under Section 1O42 of the federal statutes which provides that a prisoner sentenced by any court of the United States to pay fine with or without imprisonment may secure his discharge after serving thirty days for it's non-payment, on making an affi- davit that he has less than S20 in mon- cy and property. District Attorney Crossley demurred to the jurisdiction of the commissioner, urging that the district court of Alaska is not strictly court of the United States.
 Judge Reeks overruled the demur- Ter, upholding his own jurisdiction, but decided that the Japanese could not avail themselves of the poor con- vict act because the term of their sentence entities them to serve it out at the rate of S2 day. He held that the only purpose of Section 1O42 is to prevent perpetual Imprisonment for non-payment of d fine. The case will be appealed by counsel for the Japanese.
