PLANS ON COMING GAME

Now that Juneau has eXcep- ted our challenge, and will be .on the s. $. Alameda to play the games as were scheduled Sunday August 4th and 5th. I wish to state that the Ketchi- kan Base Ball Club wishes to thank the Business men and
 fans who so generously contrib Iuted to the fund necessary tc defray their expenses down here. And while We are yet short about S75.00 I do not think we will have any trouble in raising the balance as every one has been so far very liberal when approached in regards to the proposition.
 And 1 wish to state that it has been desided by a number of the fans and club that VIC charge fee of 25c to all those who enter the Grand Stand or
 grounds that has not contrib Iuted to the fund as it is no more than right that each in- dividual who wishes to watch the great national game, help Us out with that small sum. Al so we hope that everyone wilt unite in helping entertain the visitors and give them a royal good time. Arrangements have
 been made with the Gross Pict- lure show and the skating rink to be free to the visiting club.
 Also a dance has been planed
 for Monday night by the club providing arrangements can be
 made with the Arctic Brother
 hood to hold there meeting a little early so We can get the
 hall by 9:30 but up to the pres
 ent time it has not been assured but will be published at a later
 date regarding same.

LOUIS HANSON
 TO ERECT NEW STORE

:. Work was begun this morn- ing upon the new department store of Louis Hanson on Mis- sion Street The work ;> nr- der r.. direction of Henry B. Clark, who has been doing some very credible construction work in the city recently. He built the Heckman wood build ing where the Strong Stove works is located, and also the new Davie Nicoll property a. cross the road near the Rink Theater.
 The building will be a two story structure of wood and lar ger than the new Tongass building. The latter is twenty five feet in width while Han- sons building will be thirty. The contract calls for the com- Ipletion of the work in sixty days. Native lumber will be used in the construction thru out. The plan is to have the entire lower floor for the use of the line of department store ma terial which has been ordered. The upstairs is to be fitted up for living experiments and of- fees. There will be three nice offices in he front of the build ing and ample room for ele- gant apartments for the pro- prator and his family beside. Louis asserts that this is to be only temporary quarters as he intends to erect a concrete building after a couple of years He says moreover that Ketch- ikan is good enough for him and that he intends to stay here just as long as he is permitted to enjoy the felicities of this mortal sojourn. And his fam ily will come as soon as proper quarters can be provided for them.

They will leave on the Alameda sometime Friday and this will bring them here in ample time to play the first game of the series on Sunday August 4th. as was the original plan of the local boys.
 Much interest is being a. reused over this game and many of the fans are willing to go in pretty strongly with the backing of the local boys. Our team is in the pink of condit- ion and it is asserted that if the Juneau crowd takes the games if will earn them, for there will be nothing but good hard base ball that will turn the trick.
 The team is very anxious that the visitors shall have court eous treatment during It's stay here and hereby requests that everybody unite to show the visiting team that We hold no bitterness in our hearts on account of the alleged mistreat ment at Juneau.

New York. July 30-The grand jury Investigating the murder of Herman RoSenthal has returned a verdict indict- ing Lieutenent Charles Becker of the police force for murder in the first degree.
 Three of the men implicated in the plot have confessed and named Becker. The witnesses for the state have been sys- tematieally intimidated by gangsters. The admission to the room where the grand jury has been holding it's investl- gation has been by ticket, in order to prevent the friends of the suspected slayer from en- tering the building. When John Reissler a witness for the state was asked recently 10 re- peat on the witness stand evi- dence which he had given the District Attorney. he qualled and cried; Il dare not. they would be certain h kill me-
 When Lieut.. Becker was in- yited to testify before the grand jury it was under the positive stipulation from Attorney Whitman that he must waive all rights of immunity. Becker appeared before the jury ac- leompanied by an attorney who stated that his client could not testify with out the consent of Police Commissioner Waldo. Becker. however, asserted his willingness to testify.
 l When the indictment by the ! jury was announced to Lieut.. Becker he declared that he was not guilty and that he would fight the case. He has been remanded to the Tombs and is held on the charge Of murder.

Seattle, July 29-Judge Cor nelius Hanford made an angry assertion today when speaking of hImself in connection with the statement of the press that Taft had not accepted his res ienation and would not accept it if in the opinion of the com- mittce impeachment would fol- low investigation. He said with much bitterness and with deal of personal antipathy for his prosecutors, that if his resignation was not accepted he would fight the case to the bitter end. After 22 years of service on the bench, the pres ent proceeding against his char actor and ability is telling woe- fully upon the health of the Judge, and his friends assert that to proceed with the inn peachment will be fatal to him.

Washington July 30-Judge Robert W Archibald Of the com meree court who recently was removed from his position for alleged use of his high office for personal profit, and who was impeached before the House yesterday filed an an- swer to the charges before the Senate. About a week or ten days ago his ease came up in the Senate and that body noti- fled Archibald that he would be given until July o9th to ans wer 10 the charges preferred a. gainst him, and the same charges upon which the House voted to remove him. His prosecutors will be given until August 3rd in which to file their answer to his reply. and then or as soon thereafter as convenient the Senate will act upon the evidence thus re- ceiyed.
 The Judge admitted in his an swer yesterday practically all the charges against him in the impeachment proceedings. but denies most emphatieally that he had ever used his judicial in fluence eorruptly. The an- swer is curious admixture of guilt and innocence and shows that the judges sense of morals is rather unique 10 say the least He admits that he was involved during his incumbancy in num- erous coal deals. and he says plainly that he has often sol- licited high railroad officials to ! aid himself personally in the furtherance of such deals but he states that these things were in no way connected with his iudgeship. He claims that ! all his desires to float big money making schemes were all acts Of personal innocence That they in no way influenced his judgements when cases in which he was personally inter- eSted should come before him on the bench.

Gang sters have bee carrying on 6 systematic campaign of inti- midation with those who have been subpoenaed to testify in inc Rosenthal murder, and it is thought that the shoting of Ferella has been a direct re- suit of the damaging testimony which he gave against the mem Der of the gang which killed his friend Rosenthal. District Attorney Whitman has placed private detectives upon the case and believes that he has suf- ficient clews to land the assi- ssins. Verella was shot down in cold blood.

1.-THE ALASKA QUESTIONS

IfCfkN1I afNtHe t4O0etCce 0S' The Alaskan Question.
 some progress has been made m behalf of the legislation for the hetterment of Alaska. The coal leasing $. B. 7030 shows that valuable amendments have been reported fayorably by the Senate Committee.
 These amendments increase ,he term of the lease from thirty 10 fifty years and pro yided for renewal of the lease at its termination under any conditions which are provided bv law at that time. II reduces the royalties to be paid to maximum of , per cent upon inc value of the coal al the mine. Other amendments of value were made and there are still a number of objections which We are hoping will be cured by amendment before the bill is finally adopted.
 The railroad bill i> still in the hands of the Senate Committee on Territories. The committee instead Of reporting this bill r, ported favorably the bill for a territorial government for Alas ka. which had been passed hy the House adding thereto a pro vision for sending a committee of engineers to Alaska during the present summer b make in vestigation and report by Dec ember ist their recommends tions as to the matters involved
 With reference to both of these bills the Secretary de- sires to explain the position Of inc Alaska Committee. in view of the fact that considerable criticism has arisen because Of the endorsement Of the leasing bill and q the principle of gov- eFnnent construction Of rail- roads. As to the later. the be- lief that private capital can nev CT be induced to construct the railroads which are necessary b the development Of Alaska resources. since the govern ment has withdrawn from en- fry and purchase those resour- ces which have heretofore furn i>hed the incentive for all con slruetion of railroads into un- developed territory, and be- cause Of this fact they feel, justified in supporting the pro- posed bill for government con- siruction ot such railroads as will secure this result.
 As to the leasing bill. inc com rnit.ee with one exception is in principle absolutely opposed to any federal leasing Of mrnera, lands. One member Of inc com mittee did not object 90 strong ly to the leasing system per SC but insisted that leasing sys- tem to effect this purpose should provide for a perpetual lease without unnecessary re- sfrictions.

Salt Lake City. July 30-Con- starnation reigned here for a brief time today when the el- ders Of the Mormon Church announced that owing to the threats Of violence and death on the part of the Mexican reb- els the church would abandon it's property in Mexico. The Mormons have been exceeding ly jealous in making converts and propagating the principles of Morm0niSm in the Mexican republic. It was announced by the leaders in the church that the property which 1t would be necessary 10 abondon was val ued at nearly eight million dol lors. This is looked upon as q rich haul for the rebels, into whose hands it will go if the government is not strong enough to prevent.

DUCKS TOO FAT

The draining of the lake at Glen
Miller park has spread a veritable
feast for the colony of ducks who
make that sheet of water their habi-
tat.
The receding water exposed a large
area of the lake and the ducks are
feasting royalty on the food stuffs that
have been exposed. In fact, they have
grown SO fat in the last weeks that
they are unable to waddle up the
banks. Their attempts to make the
climb afford great amusement to Wis
itors in the park.
