SUPREME COURT DECLINES
TO REVIEW THE 0A8E
The supreme court recently
declined to review legal questions
arising out of the dramatic seiz
ure in Alaskan waters in 1010
of the Japanese sealing schoon
er Tokal Maru by Iho Unite
Mates revenue cutter Perry. Kaoh
of the 38 members of the crew
was fined $500 by tho commis
sioner in Alaska, but the circuit
court of appeals says tho crew
as a whole, and not as individ
uals, should have been fined. The
ship was held liable for this fine.
Chesnion Ki Kuchi, owner of the
ship, asked the supreme court to
review the case.
