The foregoing report does not include some forty arrests that I made 

 during the fourteen months that I have been under the employment 

 of the Fish Commissioners. By the partiality of the jurors, and in 

 some cases not having sufficient evidence to convict, many of the vio- 

 lators escaped justice. 



The best evidence that I have to offer in the interest of the good 

 accomplished by the river patrol, is the small amount of violations 

 now being committed of the existing fish laws. It is a well known 

 fact that previous to the establishment of an efficient patrol on the 

 rivers and bays, fishermen carried on their unlawful business without 

 restraint. 



The following is the number of convicted violators of the law as 

 regards nationality: 



Greeks 45 



Italians 23 



Germans 6 



Americans 1 



Chinese 18 



Total 93 



I hereby certify the above report to be correct. 



W. C. JONES, 

 Deputy Fish Commissioner.
