 SEEN JULY II
 125 MILES OUT
Officials Aboard Brant See Mother Ship, IA Trollers
 Back State Dept.

The Japa..cse fishing fleet, con- sisting of mother ship and IA trollers, was seen operating 125 miles off Nelson Lagoon in Bristol Bay on July IT by the official in vestigation party aboard the flag ship Brant of the US. Bureau of Fisheries which was returning from the Pribilof Islands to Naknek.
 This information was brought here by members of the official group who came to Juneau aboard the Brant, which berthed at the Government docks today at 3:l5 am. The Brant likely will sail for the south Sunday night. The Brant, Capt William Olsen, did not stop in Juneau enroute to Bristol Bay early in July. At that time Gov. John w. Troy flew to Sitka to meet members of the official party there.
 Take Bottom Fish
 The Japanese fleet appeared to be taking bottom fish on July IT, ac- Icording to members of the party. They saw no salmon aboard The mother ship was an 8.000-ton ves- |sel while Il of the trollers attached to it were approximately no feet long and three of them were 130 feet long

Jackson and John McFall, Assistant Clerk of the House Appropriations Commit- tee, will go south to Seattle with the Brant From Seattle, they will mo- tor to Washington, D c. Mrs. Mc- Fall is expected to meet the offici- als in Seattle and drive east with them.

 Department Alive"
 All officials who came here on the Brant said that nothing could be added to the statement made by Leo D. Sturgeon, representative of the Department of State, who announc- ed in The Empire Wednesday that his department was "alive" to the Bristol Bay fishing situation and that it would not allow any vital national industry, such as Alaska fisheries" to be sacrificed to foreign interests.
 They agreed that it was a matter entirely within the jurisdiction of the Department of State and that nothing they could say would throw additional enlightenment upon the situation.
 MT. Jackson expressed the willing ness-and eagerness-of the Bu- reau of Fisheries to turn over all in formation now on hand or to be se- cured by it to the Department of State. He also said the Department could have full use of vessels and personnel, or whatever will be need ed in its investigation.

ATTORNEY IS FOUND GUILTY ON 8 COUNTS
Charges of Misconduct and Deceit Sustained by Bar
 Association Tribunal
ASK REINSTATEMENT
 IF ACCOUNTING MADE
Widely Known Lawyer AL legged to Have Appropriat-
 ed Money to Own Use

All eight charges of willful deceit and. misconduct in his profession as attorney and as an officer of the court which had been brought against William L. Paul, Juneau att torney, and in charge of Indian reorganization work in Alaska for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, were sustained by the Juneau Bar As- sociation tribunal before which hearings on his disbarment was pleaded March 8. The findings of the committee was announced in Federal District Court here this morning by Judge George F. Alex ander
 Judge Alexander expressed the opinion of the Court that Paul had had the benefit of a fair and i'm partial hearing, despite the defend- ants own actions of indifference and contempt toward the Court. After declaring the Courts con- currence in the findings, Judge AL exander then passed judgment that the defendant Paul be per- manently disbarred from the prac- tice of law before the courts of AL aska
 Charge Fund Misappropriation However. lin view of the defend- lant's offer to account for and repay such funds as he was charged with lappropriating to his own use under paragraph six of the complaint. and in sympathy with the family of the defendant Judge Alexander stip- Iulated that at any time within one year, MT. Paul may make applica- ton for reinstatement to the bar. after having made full accounting of the funds and full apologies to the Court for his misconduct.
 In passing judgment upon Paul, Judge Alexander stressed that the Court is an impersonal institution. which depends upon the actions and fidelity of its officers to maintain its own position.
 "Offense such as that sustained against the defendant in paragraph six of the complaint is particularly grave the Judge averred. Under paragraph six, Paul was charged with having accepted employment by group of Indian fishermen members of his own race who. be- cause of that fact, had infinite faith in him. Supposedly in the interests of his clients, Paul brought claim against packing company and obtained judgment of 2,l53 cas- es of salmon, the complaint alleges. and further alleges that having ob- tained the judgment he converted the proceeds of the sale of the sal- mon, some $3,000, to his own use. without making accounting to his clients.
 Novel Defense
 Categorically admitting the action. Paul in his answer to the complaint, employed what the Court this morn ing declared to be novel defense: namely, that all but two of his clients had no valid claims against the funds obtained from the sale of the salmon, and that he, as att torney, was unable to make ac- counting because he could not de- termine to whim such accounting should be made.
 Such defense, challenging the rights of his own clients, is hardly acceptable, the Court declared; further. though it might have been

Some Sting g Is Taken Out
 Of Wage-Hour Legislation
 In Redraft of Old Measure
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 31. Enough of the power grasping phraseology has been knocked out of the wage hour bill to permit Congress to ac- cept it without feeling 1t had sold both labor and industry down the river
 The old bill was a stem -winder It missed hardly any element of in dustry or labor. The President in his message urging wage-hour leg islation said he wanted to give a break to the lower one-third of the population. The Labor Standards Beard provided by the bill had pow CT under the old measure not only to help out the lower one third, but to step into the affairs of some of the upper crust of labor, those getting up to 80 cents an hour.
 But even more sweeping was the power the Board could have exer- cised over industry. By it's author ity to fix a different wage level in one part of the country from that in another, it could have choked off enterprises it felt for one reason or another were "uneconomic" or unsuitable to some national plan ming" scheme. Those were the possibilities of dictatorial skull-dug- gerry in the old bill.
 Not only did industry kick. but the leaders of lapor saw their own fields invaded, saw the danger of Federal Board taking over the business of negotiating wage and hour terms virtually independent of labor organizations.

COMPROMISE

SONAA AsOAAASA
 So much disturbance developed over the bill that the Senate La- bor Committee recognized that if anything were to be undertaken this year, notifications were necessary Senator Thomas of Utah was cred tied with suggesting the tone of the compromise that found its way into the new bill.
 He pointed out that distrust of the legislation was based on the sweeping scope of it's jurisdiction. The solution. then, was to reduce the jurisdiction. The new bill does that, and by that step mitigates, although without removing, some of the abhorrent features of the old bill.
 In the first place the Presidents suggestion for benefitting the low CT one-third was needed. Instead of reaching into the 80-cent brack- cts, the labor standards board now has jurisdiction only among groups earning less than 80 cents an hour and working more than 40 hours week. Before, only executives, professionals and agricultural wor- kers were exempt. The new meas ure exempts those and also seamen, fish-handlers, railroad employees subject to rail wage-hour legisla- tion, and employees in local retail enterprises.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Reasons
which justified the emergency rail-
road freight charges are continuing
with added emphasis" because Of
increased material costs, said Daniel
Willard, president Of the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad system in the prelim.
mary annual report for 1885, issued
today.
AS a substitute for the charges,
which expired at the end Of last year,
Willard expressed hopes the Interstate
Commerce Commission would give
sympathetic consideration" to the
petition for increases and adjustments
Of freight rates filed by the carriers
some months ago.
Baltimore g. Ohio's 1896 net income
amounted to $4,53s,975, equal, after
allowing for dividend requirements on
the preferred stock, to IS cents share
on common stock. In the previous
year the road had a deficit Of $780,
9Os.
Total railway operating revenues
were $168,992 $50, compared with
$l4l ,843,264 in 1885. An increase of
$l,293.928 In passenger revenue was
due In part, Willard said, to the rise
In business activity and to the reduc-
ton in fares to cents mile on June
