 Fishermen, in some instances with the support of their company officials, made alarming threats however. It was reported that sev- eral companies had agreed to arm their boats. There were reports that the s. s. Mckinley carried 50 rifles when it sailed for Alaska yesterday, but officials of the Alaska Steamship Company denied it.
 Japanese boats, which stretch miles of net in the path of salmon runs and operates floating canneries, were estimated to be eight miles oil shore. That is beyond United States jurisdiction and any fighting among Americans and Japanese there would involve some of the interna- tional laws invoked in the days of pirates and slave traders.
 The salmon spawn in United States waters. and in moving to and from the spawning grounds in the rivers, are protected by strict American conservation laws. These laws, permitting fishing between certain hours, on certain days, with nets of prescribed length and catches of prescribed amounts, ap- ply to American fishermen regrad- less of where they fish.

 With No Trial

Disposition of the case of former Town Clerk Louis Schiller, Jr., of Naugatuck. charged with embezzle- ment of state funds, will be made by Judge Ernest A. Inglis in super for court tomorrow. There is to be no trial.
 Schiller's guilt or innocence de- pends on whether or not Judge Inglis considers the state a public or private corporation. Several weeks ago, States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis and Defense Counsel William w. Gager presented statement of facts on the case to Judge IngliS for his consideration.
 Admits Taking Funds
 In the statement, Schiller, 43, ad- nlits that he appropriated to his own use $2626 which represented re- ceipts for fish and hunting licenses which were accepted by him as town clerk of Naugatuck.
 Statutes provide. however. that in an embezzlemont case it must be proved that the accused is the agent of a corporation. Defense counsel maintains that the state is not a corporation. and Schiller has plead- ed not guilty to the charges of em- bezzlement.
 Judge IngliS has not as yet filed his judgment in the case, and ap- parently intends to do so tomorrow in court.
