All of the stock of The Cape De- cision Fish company belongs to Will liam C. Brown and Martin Kiltall who claim that the two traps were their sole means of livelihood The fisheries regulations, the suit charg- es, deprive the plaintiff of the right to fish, in violation of the White Act and of the due process clause of the Constitution.
 Arbitrary Power
 The complaint characterizes the fisheries regulations. as purely leg islative' and an illegal delegation of the powers of Congress. They are described as "vesting the Secre- tary of the Interior with arbitrary power to grant to one what he with holds from another"
 Brown. in an affidavit accompany ing the complaint. says he consulted Senator Lewis Schwellenbach of Washington with regard to closing of the trapsites and was informed by the Senator that many com plaints" had been lodged against Bell because of alleged irregulari- ties.
 The complaint sets forth:
 "WrcngfulIy Charged"
 That in January of the year 1889, Frank T. Bell resigned as United States Commissioner of Fisheries, and Charles Jackson, who had pre- viously acted as Deputy Commission CT, was appointed Acting Commis- sioner in his stead. That following the resignation of the said Bell there were those who wrongfully charged said Bell with irregulari- ties and misconduct in office; and the plaintiff is informed and be- leves. and therefore alleges the fact to be, that Carl Hubbs was ap- pointed by the Secretary of the h. terior to whom the Fisheries had been transferred from the Com merce Department to make an in vestigation into the activities of the said Bell with view of determining whether there had been any irregu- larities or misconduct in the office.
 Gathered Gossip
 That the said Hubbs thereupon proceeded to Alaska and without commencing any judicial inquiry proceeded to interview divers per- sons and to gather up such gossip as he was able to gather. all from persons not under oath and in some instances. as the plaintiff is informed and believes from persons having an interest in the matters to which the gossip related, That thereupon the said Hubbs made a report to the Secretary of the In- terior.
 The plaintiff. has never had &C., cess to. said report. but is informed md believes and therefore alleges the. fact to be, that in said report the said Hubbs charged the said Bell with irregularities and misro''- duct in connection with the opening to fishing of the areas above res ferred to as occupied oy the pianI- tiffs traps.
