REPEAL WIPES OUT ALL CASES
 UNDER N. P. A.
Appellate Court at San Francisco Makes Decision
 Alaska Unaffected

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal Dec. 15.
 Criminal cases arising under the National Prohibition Act, left pend- ing in the various States when the Eighteenth Amendment was repeal ed, were invalidat Thursday by a decision made by the United States Circuit Court Appeals. However, this does not cover the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii, the Court holding that power of Congress is plenary in those areas.
 Although only seven Western states are diectly affected. since they comprise the Ninth Circuits jurisdiction it is probable the de- cision will be followed in the other jurisdictions
 The decision was made in an op- inion handed down in a motion on behalf of James Green Poca- tello, Idaho, for a reversal in a Volstead Act case against him. Federal authorities said it would prevent them from proceeding un- der the Federal prohibition stat ute in charges in the Ninth Judicial district. H. H. McPike, United States Attorney here. said pending Volstead cases would be resubmit- ted under the Internal Revenue Act in any instances where prose cution is still deemed advisable

LIQUOR CONVOY IS UNREQU|RED,
 kyERS C0NNORS
Prohibition Repeal Makes Convoy of Canadian Li-
 quor Unnecessary

Repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment, ended the liquor convoy sys- tenn between Canadian ports on vessels through Alaskan waters 1t was announced today by James J. Connors, Collector of Customs. No more conveys are to be required by the United States.
 The convoy system was inaugera- ted here in 1920, after the National Prohibition Act was put into effect. All shipments of liquor consigned from liquor stores of British Col ubia to those of Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia via Canadian steamships through Alaskan waters had to be con- voyed by Canadian officers.
 The question of whether the system still had to remain in effect was submitted to the Treasury De- partment by Collector Connors. It was ruled that liquor shipments passing through Territorial waters between foreign ports are to be handled in the same maner as any other legitimate merchandise. MT. Connors has so notified Can adian authorities.

ALASKA JU NEAU EARNS RETURNS

Net Operating Profit for November Put at $65-
 900, Based on $20.67

Operating on ore that averaged but 71.22 cents per ton in gold, lead and silver, the Alaska Juneau showed a net operating profit for November of $65,9O0, according to the monthly estimate of operations just made public here by General Superintendent L.

No estimate was given for the premium obtained from the REC. prices that ranged from $32.52 at the beginning of the month to $33.93 at the close. Based on an average of $3325, which may be either a little below or above the real average, the months produc- tion, which is estimated at $250,500 on the old figure, would have been worth about $4l5,000.

HALIBUTERS OF JUNEAU AGREE
 TO PROPOSALS
Curtailment of Local Fleet Voluntarily Signed at
 Meeting Last Night

Attended by the majority ot halibut fishermen and vessel own CTS. an open meeting at which Mayor I. Goldstein presided, was held in the Council Chamber of the City Hall last evening at which Dr. w. F. Thompson, Director ot Investigations and Chairman of the International Fisheries Com mission, explained the proposals offered by the Commission tor curtailment of the catch in order to prolong the season, to those present.
 Of the two major proposals for curtailment, limitation of pound- age to be allowed each man dur ing the season, and the alternate of having a lay up period for vessels so as to distribute the catches of the season, the general consensus of opinion of those pres ent at the meeting favored the latter method, and the agreement presented was signed by practically every member of the local fleet present at the meeting.
 Poundage Limitation
 Because of the general opinion of local men of the halibut industry that poundage limitation would not be to the advantage of the Juneau fleet, because halibut men of this district must have a great CT poundage to exist at the lower prices prevailing here, it was agreed to curtail the catch on the basis ! of time, with each vessel laying up after each trip for period to be determined by the length of time the season is to be extend Ted. Flexfbilitg is to be given the local fleet so as to give halibuters of this district an opportunity to meet the peculiar condition of tides on which the local halibuters are dependent, Dr. Thompson said.
 Similar Agreement Signed
 
 Similar agreements have already been signed by the halibut men of Prince Rupert and Petersburg and it is practically assured that if the Alaskan fishing fleets all agree, that the Seattle fleet will fall into line, though if voluntary agreements are not reached it is probable that the Seattle fleet Will not curtail as it has in previous seasons and that the season will be greatly shortened, Dr. Thomp- son said
 Local Representative Einar Olsen, of the Juneau Cold Storage Company was chosen by those present at the meeting to represent the local fleet in deal ing with representatives of the fleets of other districts.
 "The shortened season is the di- rect result of the success of the International Fisheries Commis- sion in increasing the quantities of halibut on the banks, which enables the fishermen to land their catch in a much shorter period than formerly so that without the proposed lay ups and voluntary curtailment the season is auto matically shortened pr. Thomp- son said.
 Dr. Thompson explained the halibut situation at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce yes- terday noon as well as at the meeting last night. He will leave on the Northwestern for Ketchi- kan where an open meeting will be held and the curtailment pro- posals submitted to fishermen of that locality.
