HARRY ELLSWORTH SELECTED
 FOR ADVISORY COMMISSION

Harry Ellsworth, member of the Territorial Fish Commission received telegram this morning from Her bert Hoover, Secretary of the De- partment of Commerce, stating that he had been named a member of the advisory board which will consider the present regulations governing laskan salmon fisheries to make changes and recommendations or ad- ditions to the present laws for the coming year.
 A letter was also received from Governor Scott c. Bone advising Mir. Ellsworth that the Advisory Com mittee of the Bureau of Fisheries would meet at Juneau the first week in September Commissioner Henry O'Malley will be in attendance as we'll as Delegate Sutherland.
 The value of having a member of this advisory board in Seward can- not be too greatly estimated. The Fisheries Bureau has built and is maintaining a splendid hatchery at Grouse Lake ,has cleared the streams in this vicinity increasing the run of red fish, and will continue it's pol icy of propagation. Plans next year call for the construction of traps at Bear Lake and on Quartz Creek, to prevent trout from ascending to these streams.

U. S.. FILMS LEAD IN
 ENGLISH MOVIE HOUSES

LONDON, Aug 16.-The growth of Englands infant motion picture in dustry has been stunted by the blow given it during the last six months by the matured products of the U. s. A bankruptcy suit has been filed in the courts by the Hepworth Films, pioneers in the English field and oth- CT companies are reducing their pro- grams.
 The English films thus far have ad- mittedly been inferior and their pro- duction unsatisfactory financially, but there has been hope that it would be possible to develop them into successful rivalry with the American enterprises.
 Probably the curtailment of the English production will not leave great gap in the lives of the picture fans, but it has been a serious set back to the English desire for inter- nal commercial independence in this field.
 Cecil Hepworth, head of firm, su- ing for bankruptcy, said, in explain ing the action, that the economic po- sition was against the English.
 "America," he declared, "has suf- ficient theaters to use up all it's pro- ductions and pay the cost of produc- ing. When the pictures are brought over here all the rentals obtained are clear profit, while we have to ask sufficient to cover our enormous costs. When money is scarce, the English theater owners choose the cheaper American films. We cannot compete financially with America in this matter"

ALLEGED PIRATE VESSELS
 LISTED BY CANNERYMEN
(Juneau Empire).

The systematice campaign of trap robbing, said to have existed in the southern end of the division, near Ketchikan, has been dealt a body blow by the salmon packers them selves, according to word brought to Juneau by Maj. George D. Beaumont, U. s. Marshal who returned last night from the First City. The can nerymen, he said, have entered into an agreement not to buy fish believ- ed to have been stolen.
 This agreement, said Marshal Beaumont, was reached at meeting of Ketchikan canners and others in that vicinity and followed offical notice given by the governments at torneys that persons or firms whom it could be shown were knowingly buying fish from trap robbers would be prosecuted either for conspiracy or for receiving stolen goods. Un- der the terms of the agreement the packers furnished each other with list of boats which they knew or had reason to believe were engaged in "pirating." The list is said to have included boats which had offer ed to buy fish from the watchmen on traps owned or operated by the individuals or companies represented at the meeting. It is reported that more than 30 boats were listed by the connerymen. Since the agree ment was made vessels listed have been unable to sell fish on the Ket- chikan market. The action created big sensation among the operators and owners of the prescribed boats and protests are said to have been made.

WANTON DESTRUCTION
 FILLS SELD0VIA JAIL

SELDOVIA, Aug. Exchanged with violation of the regulations of the White Bill, for the protection of the fisheries of Alaska, thirty eight Cook Inlet fishermen were talk en into custody this week and lodged in the Seldovia jail, or rather, as many as could be crowded into the jail were lodged there and the over flow offenders are being cared for elsewhere pending the hearing of the cases. The specific charge against the men is that of wanton destruc- tion of fish, herring for the most part The defendants are employees of three companies operating on the inlet, the San Juan, Fidalgo and one other
 The arrests are the result of an investigation of conditions along the inlet and determination nthe part of the fisheries bureau charged with the protection of the fisheries, to put stop to waste of fish, of which there is said to have been an unwar- ranted amount this season.
 Photographs have been obtained of large quantities of dead fish scat tered along the shores of the inlet, chiefly salmon, the number of this species wantonly wasted being esti- mateed roughly at upwards of $50,- 900 in one locality.
