BRISTOL BAY INVADERS RUN
 OFF TO COVER
Vessels Are Seen Resuming Fishing When Cutter
 Cyane Leaves
AMERICANS BACKING
 INVASION, IMPLIED
Goldfish Head Criticises s Government for Not Tak-
 ing Action Before Too Late

SEATTLE, Aug. 3.-Implying that some of the Japanese fishing activi- ties in Bristol Bay are actually being financed by American Salmon Can- nery interests, Capt. J. E. Shields, president and manager of the Pa cific Coast Goldfish Company and master of the cod-fishing vessel Sophie Christensen, has written the Seattle Times, charging the United States Government with negligence in handling the Japanese Invasion.
 Clean up on Crabs
 "The Japs have pretty well cleaned up the crags and their efforts arei now mainly directed to salmon fish ing" he stated. Their nerve is ap- palling" The Japanese fishermen run to cover when a Coast Guard vessel appears, then return to their salmon fishing activities when it leaves, he said.
 Dodge Cutter
 "One day the cutter Cyane came and gave us our mail. As soon as she was out of sight, that was the signal for the Japs to get busy The next day five of their vessels were around us One of them made a set about one hundred yards away from us, just to show what con- tempt they held us in. They were getting salmon galore We are up here to see what is going on, and there is-not the slightest doubt but they will clean out the fish," the let ter declared.
 Makes Complaint
 'The American Government is like an ostrich with its head hid in the sand. In Washington they don't want to see. There is plenty of Coast Guard vessels up here and they could see something more than they do"
 Capt. Shields, in his letter recom- mended the appointment by Con- gress of fact-finding committee before it is too late"

Convinced that Japanese fish ing off Bristol Bay, Alaska, were raiding the American sal mon run and were not fishing for crabs, as presupposed, H. B. Friele. chairman of the board of the Association of Pacific Fisheries, recently produce q photos If Japazsese craft in AL aska waters. Top photo shows a Japanese trawIer and mother ship. The nets drying on the deck are allegedIy two miles long while 300 foot gill nets are the longest allowed to American fishermen. FrieIc said the nets were salmon gear. Steam rising from the mother ship, while at anchor, was viewed as evidence of processing operations. Map at right shows how the nets, If spread to catch salmon on their way into Bristol Bay, will form an artificial shore line and en- danger the whole Alaska fish ing industry by not allowing the fish to enter the bay and spawn.

AIaska Game Control Is to Remain Under U.S.; Juneau
 May Get Special Bureau
By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate Dim0nd

WASHINGTON, July 24.-(Spec- ial Correspondence) = Unfavorable report was received last week by the House Committee on the Ter ritories from the Department of Agriculture on H. R. 1863, the bill introduced by Delegate Dimond to transfer jurisdiction and control of game and fur-bearing animals from the Department of Agriculture to the Territory of Alaska and ex- tending the legislative power of the Territorial Legislature to include the game laws and laws relating to fur-bearing animals.
 The viewpoint of the department is clearly expressed in the following statements from the report men, toned:
 Reasons Set Forth
 'The Territory of Alaska con- tains the last great stand of wild life under the jurisdiction of the Government of the United States and many people in various sec- tions of the country, including sportsmen, conservationists, and lovers of wildlife, are deeply inter- ested in insuring its proper and adequate conservation.
 '"The withholding by the Federal Government of control over these wildlife resources from the Terri torial Legislature by the exception in the Organic Act of 1912 (37 Stat 512) was, therefore, deliberate and with the specific intent to retain such control in the United States The game and fur animals of Alaska have been one of the most important resources of the Terri tory since it's acquisition by the United States. The pursuit of this wildlife is the principal means of livelihood of a large part of the native population.
 Indians Are U. s. Wards
 "The Eskimos and Indians of AL aska are still wards of the Fed eral Government and the protec- tion of these native people is largely, if net wholly, dependent upon the guardianship of the gen. eral government. This undoubtedly was also one of the impelling req sons for the limitation contained in the Act of 1912 prohibiting the Territorial legislative authority from altering, amending, modifying, or repeating game, fish, and fur-bear- ing animal laws in force in Alaska
 Game Law
 "The present Alaska Game Law is a most carefully drawn measure flexible in it's provisions, and thor

Empty Bottles a Danger
On Streets and Roads
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
There is a deplorable and dangerous
practice, very vital to the public health
and safety, which should be called to the
attention of those public officials with
authority to remedy it. have in mind
the throwing Of empty liquor bottles on
the sidewalks of the suburbs Of Wash
ington.
Out on Conduit road one can find the
sidewalks literally covered with broken
glass every few feet. Broken glass Is
very dangerous to pedestrians wearing
shoes, not to mention small barefooted
children and dogs. In the streets it
punctures automobile tires too. 1t would
be practically impossible for law enforce
ment officers to catch those who, leav-
ing the city late at night, throw their
empty bottles against the sidewalks.
Some other remedy is needed.
Perhaps some agreement could be
worked out with the Distilling Institute
for cooperation among its members
toward using unbreakable glass or some
other material entirely. Certainly, with
or without legislation on this problem,
something should be done about it.
Glass will lie in the earth for years with
out deteriorating and remains constant
danger. It would seem that this problem
could be controlled under the health
laws. I have noticed that it is problem
for the suburbs of larger cities and the
small cities quite generally. Surely
something can be done about it.

Seeing and Believing.

Seeing, it is said, is believing. The
logic of the axiom is sound. People
should have faith in what they can ap-
praise with their eyes. But also, per-
haps, it is possible to be reasonably con-
f1dent about matters merely imagined.
Emily Dickinson summed up the case for
trust in the lines:
I never saw a moor,
never saw the sea:
Yet know how the heather looks.
And what wave must be.
I never spoke with God,
Nor visited in heaven;
Yet certain am of the spot
AS II the chart were given.
So thoughtful man as DR.. Alexis Car
rel, however, recently has declared: II
am interested only in what we can OBJ
serve. Spirituality is not in my line" :"
Such, of course, is the proper attitude for
q scientist. 1t Is the expected position
"Organized common sense" ought not to
be adventurously romantic. It should
concern itself principally with values
which can be accurately assayed, mathe-
matically measured.
But instruments lacking today per-
haps may be available tomorrow. The
genius which has produced the mariners
compass, the telescope, X-rays, teleg-
raphy and wireless telephony should not
be over-timid about the immortality Of
the human soul. Nothing else pef1shes:

HalftOne Inventor.

Frederick Eugene Ives was not famous.
Yet at the moment of his death it is only
elemental justice that the debt of pic
ture-minded race to his genius should
be mentioned. He invented the half
tone process OF engraving employed by
The Star and countless other newspapers
in the business Of illustrating the cur
rent chronicle of human experience.
Before Mr.. Ives applied his creative
intelligence to the problem, the press
was handicapped in its work by the
absence OF practical technique of
graphic representation. True, occasional
sketches were reproduced from incised
wooden blocks and lead casts. Generally
speaking, however. the average news
paper was monotonous expanse of
hand-set type. Pictures were necessarily
few and far between.
Mr.. Ives opened novel chapter in the
history Of journalism when, experiment.
Ing in the laboratory of Cornell Univer-
sity in 1878, he successfully applied
light to a prepared copper plate" The
process still is complicated, difficult to
explain to a lay mind; but its operation
dramatizes the news to the masses as
nothing else could. 1t renders it possible
to see events in the making.
But Mr.. Ives did not rest on his laurels

which presaged rotogravure, pioneered

fected the modern binocular microscope.

why, then, should there be any hnality
about death? As Benjamin Franklin
snatched lightning from the sky, it may
happen that another explorer OF the
cosmos may grasp the answer to the
riddle Of the universe. The longing OF
mankind prepares the way for the dis
covery. People want to survive. Their
anxiety is phenomenon which cannot
be laughed of. 1t has motive and pur-
pose as definite as any proven truth OF
geometry or physics. The law Of gravi-
tation itself is no more convincing than
the law Of the aspiration of millions of
undiscouraged fellow pilgrims on the

Washington Does Not
Want ''Daylight'' Time
70 the Editor of The Star:

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Why must the District of Columbia
always be treated as an orphan child by
all the politicians who are fortunate
enough to land job on Capitol Hill?
1t seems that every Congressman has
pet hobby all his own and in order
that he may obtain front-page publicity.
he works on the poor old D. c. and
does his best to inf1ict upon us some pet
scheme which nobody wants and can get
along much better without.
Now here comes men from my own
home town of Philadelphia, which I left

ular in his own city, that is compelled to
accept it by law, and not by personal
desire or request.
This gentleman, evidently, was not in
Washington when we went of OF day.
light saving for what me trusted was the
last time. Now what? Must we have
that old bugaboo thrown back at us
when only few golf players want It?
The labor unions of the District are
100000 strong against changing our time,
and three or four citizens associations
have gone on record as opposing 1t,
according to accounts published in The
Star. There is no need or emergency
existing today, nor are we conserving
coal and electricity or gas as war
measure.
Now, say If the gentleman has real
ambitions to aid our beautiful city, let
him roll up his sleeves and busy himself
with reducing our taxes, and getting his
Congress to give us the vote we need SO
badly, and forget the daylight saving
bill, which we don't need and don't want.
He probably does not know Washing
tons Summer heat, or he would not try
to force us to bed an hour earlier in the
evening while the air is still hot and
drag us out of bed an hour earlier in the
coolest part Of the day when we could
get our best rest.
Cannot somebody urge the gentleman
to play "hands of" with our time. and
devote his efforts to something Of real
advantage to voteless d. c.?

were roughly similar in design to the
Folsom points" earliest known human
artifacts in North America, which in
the past few years have become focal
objects in all discussions of the rer2otest
days of human history on this continent
At the time these were found their sig
nif1cance was not appreciated and until
recently archeologists were inclined to
consider the association due to conci-
dence.
Now it is believed entirely possible
that the ancient Folsom hunters may
have trailed the bison herds over the
Kansas plains as long ago as the closing
of the last ice age. DR.. Wedel and his
associates will keep close watch for
any Folsom-like points in the present
reconnaissance.
DR.. Wedel expects to spend about three
months digging at various sites with a
crew OF five or six. The country is largely
unexplored archeologically-as was Ne

Strong. The clues uncovered, it is likely
will lead to further excavations in the

congested In a headquarters building
that will eventually pass into the possess
sion OF the National Government for pub
lie building construction and. dispersed
in various unsuitable buildings scattered
over wide range. It Is now regarded
as improbable that the site will ever be
used as municipal center. If the Gov
ernment takes 1t for its own purposes,
for the erection of Federal auditorium,
it will, of course, recompense the District
for its outlay.
In the selection Of site for such q
large construction as suitable Govern
ment auditorium would need to be,
thought must be given to the matter Of
accessibility and convenience of ap-
proach. 1t should not be located at a
distance from the center of the city. It
should have relation in position to the
central group of Government structures.
1t should be, in short, in just about the
very place, in this respect, that has now
been given the approval of the Commits
sion Of Fine Arts, which views the matter
from the standpoint OF Capital making
appropriateness.
Upon such site as that afforded by
the eastern section of the area once con-
templated for the erection of the munich
pal center building can be erected that
will equal, if it will not surpass, any other
great assembly hall in this country. No
less than that should be considered.

Counts lO7 to l Against
Local Daylight Saving

To the Editor Of The Star:
Why can't Representative Sacks play
fair in this daylight saving time ques-
ton? It is stated he had questioned"

drivers, ETC., and each and every one of
them voted Eyes" on the question.
I personally went through 78 different
offices downtown, including clerks. other
office workers, telephone operators,
school teachers, garage workers, house
wives, students. got the opinion Of 10e
altogether. and you can believe me or
not, but only one person among this
number was in favor of daylight saving
time. His reason was that he was
taking horseback riding lessons and the
extra hour would give him more time
to ride!
Personally, I believe Representive
Sacks Is not playing fair at all. He
could never make me believe the ma
jority is in favor of daylight saving time.
I personally have proof that the majority
is not in favor of it.
