CUE PLEADS INSANITY COKEAX ALSO SAYS HE ACTED IX SELF-DEFEXSE. Calls Japanese Prince "Great Devil" Miss Stevens Receives Message From Emperor. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 21. Following the closing of the case for the state early today in the trial of In Whan Chang, the Corean who is charged with the murder of Durham White Stevens, the American adviser to the Corean Em peror, the defense began taking testi mony this afternoon with the expecta tion that It would have its case completed by tomorrow night. Insanity and self-defense will be the plea made by the defense. This was first Indicated by the statement of Attorney Nathan Coghlan and later confirmed by the testimony of B. J. I?e, a Korean, who was the constant companion of Chang for months prior to the shooting of Stevens. Ie declared it his opinion that Chang was of unsound mind and stated that he had repeatedly heard the defendant refer to Prince Ito of the Japanese Cabinet as a "great devil," be lieving that the Marquis headed what be thought was a conspiracy to oppress his countrymen. Miss Kate Stevens, sister of the mur dered man, has received a message of sympathy from Yl Hiung, the Corean Emperor, the message being conveyed to her by an official of the state depart ment.

Dec. 21. "The most serious condition now confronting the American fishing industry Is the fail ure of the states to afford adequate protection to migratory fishes in state and Interstate waters." This is the serious note of warning sounded by George M. Bowers, United States Fish Commissioner, in his an nual report made public today. Mr. Bowers graphically depicts the great destruction wrought to certain species of fish and makes an earnest appeal for their preservation. Pointing to the 'history of the New England salmon fisheries as a warning, the Commissioner declares that some of the states seem yet absolutely in different to the crying needs of fish eries for species of similar habits, whose obliteration, he says, is certain unless radical corrective measures are taken. Mr. Bowers states that the fish most In need of consideration are the shad, the striped bass and the stur geon on the Atlantic Coast, and the salmon on the Pacific Serious concern Is manifested over the trend and condition of the salmon fishery of the Columbia River. Mr. Bowers de clares that "factional and personal con siderations have been allowed to Inter fere with the passage of the needed laws, and the condition remains unrelieved." The bureau's efforts in artificial propa gation are negatived by the state's In difference, and the necessity for Federal control of the interstate waters in the In terest of fisheries is thus again forcefully Illustrated. Mr. Bowers emphasized anew the ne cessity for uniform and adequate fish pro tective laws covering Interstate waters. He says that the distribution of fish and eggs in most instances fall far short of the requirements, and declares it Is Im perative that this work be rapidly extend ed to meet special conditions.

More than 2000 cabdrivers and chaeffeurs employed by liveries and cab concerns are on strike today, according to Edwin Gould, secre tary of the Liberty Dawn Association, and 1000 more are awaiting the call of the union to join in the movement. The employers not yet affected by the strike order have been given 24 hours to grant the demands made by-the union. "Unless the action of the employers 1m favor able." said Mr. Gould today, "the tieup of the city's cab service willbe prac tically complete by tomorrow."
