BRITISH COLUMBIA TROUBLED
Question of Control of Fishing Priv
ileges Taken to Courts.
VANCOUVER. B. C Dee. 14. (Spe
cial.) The conflict of authority be
tween the Provincial and Dominion
governments regarding control of
salmon fisheries in the Fraser River
came to a sudden termination today in
a decision by the full Court of Appeal,
which declared the Provincial regula
tions beyond the power of the local
Legislature and wholly within the
power of Dominion government.
The Appeal Court was unanimous in
this decision, upholding the decision
of Judge Jloway of New Westminster.
The appeal was from a fine imposed
by Magistrate Pittendrlgh, of New
Westminster, against two fishermen,
Kendall and Wright, who obeyed the
Dominion, but disobeyed the Provincial
regulations. The Provincial govern
ment will carry the appeal to the Privy
Council, as It Involves the whole tidal
water fishery question.
Being the undisputed owners of the
Bsh. the Provincial government con
tends that It has the rlgbt to say
when and where the fish may or may
not be taken.

NICHOLS MAY TAKE CHAIR
IX LIXE FOR GOVERNOR 'IF COS
GROVE IS ABSENT.
Secretary of State Ha9 Chance if
Mead Is Ousted and Hay De
" layed Because of Contest.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Dec. 14. (Special.)
Secretary of State Sam H. Nichols may
be Acting Governor of Washington, In ad
dition to his other duties, beginning on
the second Monday of next January.- This
Is assuming that Governor-elect Cos
grove will be unable to return to Olympla
to perform the executive duties, and also
assuming that attorneys are correct In
holding Mead cannot hold over and that
Lieutenant-Governor Coon will contest
the qualifications of Lieutenant -Governor-elect
Hay.
If the court shall determine, and It
seems certain the courta will certainly be
asked to settle the mix-up. that Mead
must retire from office the second Mon
day In January because his successor has
been elected and there is no legal pro
vision for any further move on Cos
grove's part toward qualifying, it follows
that a Lieutenant-Governor must take
Mead's place. If Coon starts his threat
ened contest against Hay, it may result
that neither Coon -nor Hay can properly
act until the courts determine such con
test. In thlo event, the following pro
vision of the constitution will probably
put Nichols In office until the courts de
cide whether Coon or Hay Is to have the
place:
''In case of the removal, resignation,
death or disability of the Governor, the
duties of the office shall devolve upon
the Lieutenant-Governor, and in case of
a vacancy In both the office of Governor
and Lieutenant-Governor, the duties of
Governor ehall devolve upon the Secre
tary of State; who shall act as Governor
until the disability be removed or a Gov
ernor be elected."
