Halibut Fisheries Is
 In Serious State

The late report of Commis- sioner O'Malley relative to the halibut is anything but optomis- tic. The recent issue of the Pa cif1c Fisherman of Seattle feat ures Westward Halibut Banks Productiveness Declining" by the Staff of the International Fisheries Commission.
 The report indicates that the catch has declined from 1O6 pounds per unit of gear in 1926, to 88 pounds in 1927 and 73 in 1928. At which rate ten years hence the catch will be a minus quantity.
 The situation on the British Columbia Coast is not any bet ter. In fact states the Interna- tional Fisheries Staff, were it to fall farther the fleet would meet with disaster"
 The Commission feels the gravity of the situation and there is no doubt that they will take severe steps to prevent the further depletion of the fisheries and start further steps to aug ment spawner supply.

Paul Wins Appeal
 On Contempt Case

The United Circuit Court of appeals in San Francisco re verSed the order of the District Court for the First Division for 2djudging Attorney William L. Paul of Ketchikan, guilty of con- tempt of court on two counts.
 Paul, representing MaXfeld Dalton of Klawock, stated in the court that his client had been deprived of his property in the Commissioners Court at Craig without due process; he stated Dalton had been arrested for illegal fishing and that the Dis tTict Attorney, then Justin w. Harding, had threatened that if he did not plead guilty and pay fine of $400. his boat and Oth- 1T equipment would be confiscat- ed.
 Harding sitting as judge of the district court charged that Paul had made untrue statements and cid not spare Paul for being de Ihberately untruthful and con- temptuous of the court. For this he fined Paul $75 and sentenced him to serve 35 days in jail.
 The second count involved the statements filed in an affidavit of prejudice filed by Paul where in he sought trial before another judge in the same case. The affidavit setting forth that Judge Harding had made statements to the case that were prejudicial and disqualified him. His form or representing of the District Attorneys office and handling or direction of the case preclud- ed fair trial for the client. Tn this instance Judge Harding held Paul in contempt and ordered him to pay a fine of $10O or serve 50 days in Jail
 Attorneys James Wickersham and Henry Roden of Juneau re- presented Paul in his appeal 1 while District Attorney Stabler represented the Court.
 Paul received the congratula- lions of virtually every attorney in Juneau and his friends are glad of his vindication by the Superior Court.
