As suggested by Senator Lodge

TO FIGHT INSANITY PLEA
 FOR EDITOR WIFE-SLAYER

NEW YORK-Any attempt to have Charles E. Chapin, former city editor of the New York Evening World and self-confessed slayer of his wife, ad- judged insane, will meet with vigorous opposition from the district attorneys office, it was announced after Chapin was arraigned and pleaded not guilty through his counsel to an indictment for murder in the first degree.
 Chapin himself, according to the prosecutor, claims to be sane and has said he wanted to go to the electric chair and pay the penalty for his crime.
 "The world holds out no induce ments for me to live," he was quoted as saying. It was stated further that a number of bad checks signed by Chapin were beginning to come into the district attorneys office.
 According to the editors story of his crime he killed his wife because he had heen driven to desperation by financial difficulties.

of the stream the net is actually set and operated almost the full width of the stream, thus permitting the easy capture of salmon where they are closely confined It is not uncommon for fishermen to proceed up stream and frighten the fish down into nets waiting some distance below There are hundreds of such streams in southeastern Alaska, hence II is ex- ceedingly difficult to enforce law involving the technical niceties of de- termtning exactly whether a piece of fishing apparatus is extended more than one-third the width of a stream.
 Not only is there fishing in the streams, but considerable fishing is dcne by purse seines in the zone inn mediately off the mouths of streams (except within 100 yards of the mouth of any red salmon stream) as the fish very cften collect in schools at the stream mouths before moving up into fresh water above. This is particu- larly true in seasons of drouth when the water in the streams is frequently so low that the fish actually can not get up, but the instinct which causes them to seek spawning beds is so strong that they persist sometimes for days in their efforts to ascend It is while the salmon are thus collected off the mouths of the streams that they fall easy victims to purse seines. It has been suggested that the best remedy for the situation is to prohibit lall fishing for salmon, or other fish, ing in the prosecution Of which sal mon are taken or injured, in all streams of southeastern Alaska east of the longitude Of Cape Spencer less than 800 feet in width and within a zone of 300 yards outside the mouths of such streams; also that such fish ing te prohibited in lakes or other waters tributary to such streams
 In the report of the grand jury in session at Juneau in January, 1918, the belief was expressed that the sa.- mon of southeastern Alas are being fdepleted and that the annual takes of salmon are exceeding the natural pro- duction. The grand jury therefore recommended that a hearing be held by the Secretary of Commerce during the year 1918 to determine the advis- ability of~limiting or prohibiting con- mercial fishing for salmon in all streams of southeastern Alaska for a distance outside the mouths thereof of not to exceed 300 yards.

WILLIAM c. REDFIELD
 Secretary.

In respect to the above announce ment it seems pertinent to say that for some time past the Bureau has been concerned as to the future of the salmon industry in southeastern Alaska because of the alarmingly heavy catches which have been made recently, this being due in consider able measure to the increased num- Der of canneries and other fishery es- tablshments and the resultant close competition and securing of all waters to secure as many fish as possible
 Much of this fishing has been in small streams and in some instances almost directly upon the spawning beds of salmon. Under the law, fishing is per missible in streams over 800 feet in width with movable and fixed gear, and with movat'" gear only in streams less than 800 7. in width, provided such gear is o.. ted not more than cne-third the width of the stream.
 Nearly all of the streams in south eastern Alaska are less than 500 feet in width. In fact, most of them are less than 150 feet in width, and as a rule they are comparatively short on account of the n .lntainous character of the country. Except in the few waters already closed, it is frequently the practice of fishermen to operate in these small streams, this being permissible under the provision of law allowing the use of movable fish. ing gear not over one-third the width of such waters. Theoretically this part of the law is wise. but in actual practice it's weakness is obvious be- cause almost invariably under the guise of fishing one-third the width
