MILLION DOLLAR GIFTS
 HAD BECOME CUSTOM
n-o-

NEW YORK. July l1.-'I send each of you my usual Christmas present of $1,0OO,OOO." wrote Darius ogden Reid, to his daughter. Mrs Whitelaw Reid, and his son, ogden Mills, a few days before his death in 1909. The letter containing this phrase was cited yes terday in the estimates of the repre- sentatives of the State Comptroller, as bearing materially on the taxable value of the estate of Mir. Mills Gifts made in contemplation of death do not escape appraisal by the transfer tax officials Assuming that the gifts were usual" the appraisers figure the net value of the estate at about S35,- 900 900; a tentative gross value at this time s36.SOO, 900.
 The question of taxing this S2.00O,- 900 Christmas gift was considered for some time by the appraisers but the fact was established that Mills did not expect death and he referred to the gift as usual" so it was decided not to be a gift in expectancy of death"

DANCE FOR MISS JENNINGS
 AT GOVERNORS HOUSE

Mrs. J. F. A.

Jennings, who leaves in a few days, with her mother for Victoria, where she will enter a young ladies finishing school.
 Dancing was the diversion of the evening and was thoroughly enjoyed by the young people.
 Receiving the guests besides the hostess and guest of honor was Mrs. Robert w. Jennings.
 At midnight a lunch was served in the dining room, which had been ar tistically decorated by Miss Wollen- berg. The guests were:
 Misses Jennings, Held, Gertrude Heid Elizabelle Held, Behrdends, Fol som, Wollenberg, Moore, Tripp, Mar grie, Baker, Caro, Olds, Mrs. Black, Miss Charon, MT. and Mrs Wettrick; Messrs.

ALASKA GLACIERS
 ARE RECEDING

C. l.. Andrews, who is becoming ia nous as a nature photographer, noun tain climber and authority on the phy- sical resources and characteristics of Alaska, says the glaciers of South east Alaska are receding and diminish ing in size at more rapid rate than is generally believed.
 Mr. Andrews returned the other day from Skagway in the vicinity of which he spent some time in the mountains and valleys He visited the "S.,'' the Upper" and Denver glaciers on the Skagway river, which he had not seen for ten years. He says the "S." and Upper" glaciers that were united ten years ago, are now separated by not less than quarter of mile, and that Denver glacier has receded at least a quarter of a mile in that time, and the face of the ice has changed so that is is impossible to get on the glacier from the front.
 Mir Andrews says that while those that are interested in tourist travel to Alaska will not have to cease adver- tising the glaciers as among the at fractions for some time, the ice is graudally disappearing, and with it's disappearance, of course, the wealth CT will become milder.

PETER SCHRAMEN
 NOT SOCIALIST
O-o

To have lived as mild a hammered a life as that of any man who ever passed a basket at a Sunday School and yet have a rumor started that he was an anarchist; to have so opposed the doctrine of dividing up" that he always put his hand on his pocket book as a Socialist passed by, and yet to be classed with the followers of Debs-such approximates the fate of Peter Schramen.
 AS stated in The Empire yesterday, Schramen was excused as a juror in the Macdonald case on the affidavit of counsel for the denfense that re- cited that they had misunderstood some information which they had re- ceived about him. The pre-emptory challenge coming when it did was not the slightest criticism on the character of Mir Schramen.
 This morning in open court, Judge F. NJ. Brown sated that the pre-empt- Ory challenge, if asked at the proper time. was a matter of right, and in making their affidavit in the matter Mir. Schramen, the court said that the defense had not made any reference to his political belief, and that the challenge was no reflection on him in any way.
 Mir. Schramen is regarded by all who know him as a man of the very highest character.

kUSKOKWIM IS
 LOOKING GOOD

Advices received in a late mail from Bear creek, a tributary of the Tulisok river in the KuskOkwim country, are that a good mining camp is being de- velOped there The writer of the let ter, a lawyer and a man that lives with his eyes open. and who is re- garded as conservative, says Bear creek will. when developed, be better than Flat creek in the IditarOd cOun- try. His letter was written may 16th, and says:
 "I believe that the TuliksOk is go- ing to make better and bigger camp than ever Flat creek was. Indications go strongly to show that a rich camp will develop here, and it with the An iak country only eight miles over the divide from here, will be the means of establishing a good sized town some where on the Kuskokwim. It is hard to say just now where the point on the river will be.
 Price and Manly have bought out the Anderson company at Discovery, Bear creek. paying $1O,OOO down, and have many options on other claims and have a drill now at work locating the pay streak. Their buying and pay ing for the Anderson ground just af- ter having prospected the ground with a drill immediately below it indicates strongly to me that they found pay.
 "Wada, the Japanese musher, sue ceeded in getting s. D. McIlheney, the ''TObascO Sauce King" interested in Bear creek. He has expended about $lO,OOO in buying options and pros pecting all winter. and he writes in that he will be in in the summer with

MINISTER'S
 SHOCKED BY EXPOSURES

The Methodist Ministerial Associa- tion of Chicago adopted the follow ing resolutions concerning the Mul- hall lobby charges last week:
 We have been startled by the un- covering by the daily press of the al legged vicious attempt to direct tariff and other legislation in the interest of the Manufacturers National Asso- citation.
 Resolved, That we urge complete exposure of the wrongdoers, but would also add the caution that care be taken in the investigation so as not hastily to judge or wrongfully con- demn innocent men who may be drawn into the discussion"

CREEKS DRIVE ALL BEFORE THEM
TOMORROW'S BALL
 GAME AT DOUGLAS

Tomorrow the Juneau and Douglas baseball teams will meet on the Doug las grounds for the ninth game of the present season. The interest in the game is very lively, and there will be a large number of Juneau fans to go over the channel to witness it. Ben Hunt is slated to do the throwing for Juneau, and word comes from Doug las that Pittman will do the pitching for the islanders.
 The games between the teams stand , to at this time, with Douglas lead ing
 The controversy among the parti- sans of the teams over the umpiring is becoming more heated than the facts warrant, and far warmer than it should be permitted to become. The people of Douglas are angry because of the decisions of Umpire Burns, of J uiltdu, anu lH6 Juu6du ldIS dIt lllJle less indignant over what they call the unfairness of McClain, the Douglas Umpire. Many others think that both men have been doing good work, and, unquestionably those are nearer right than the others.
 It has been suggested that it would allay the feeling if both men were given a vacation, and two other um- pires selected The suggestion seems to be in the interest of better sport.
 The lineup of the two teams will be about the same as it was last Sunday though Juneau might have another player or two in the game.
 The game will begin at 2:3O D. m.
 No Game At Juneau.
 There will be no baseball game at Juneau tomorrow. The C. w. Young Tigers and the Alaska-Gastineau Ter riers have postponed their games until Monday or Tuesday. On one of the days mentioned there will be a game played in the evening between these players.

 Another genuine sensation was sprung in the District Court this morning by the prosecution. In court, unknown to the jury. an affidavit, written yesterday. was filed, which re cited that since the prosecution has passed it's right to pre-emptorily chal- lenge. the prosecution has discover ed that one of the said jurors has been. and at present is associated in business with one of the iRdividuals who acted as grand juror when the indictment in this case was found and is dependent in a large measure upon said grand juror for his business pO- sition and livelihood" Still further the affidavit recites:
 Since the morning session of court today the prosecution has discovered that said juror. so passed and accept ed. has had several conversations with the said grand juror, and that said grand juror is not only friend of de- fendant. but was opposed to the indict- ing of the defendant. and that during such conversation between the said juror so passed and accepted, and the said grand juror expressed the belief and feeling that the defendant should not have been indicted and further discussed with said juror the facts charged against the defendant and the depOnent believes that the juror might be greatly influenced thereby
 Following the opening of court this morning, Judge Fred NJ. Brown an nounced that leave had been granted 10 the prosecution to exercise it's right of pre-emptory challenge as to a juror whose name had been passed; thereupon, Mir. Rustgard arose.
 We excuse Mir. RummeH," an nounced Mir. Rustgard.

Macdonald Jury May
 Be Sworn Monday

H. s. Graves.
 Shelley Graves drew first but was found to be possessed of an opinion which disqualified him. John Wagner assured the court that he did not him. self regard himself as a fair juror, and WAS excused on that account. A. c. Brown was excused for the same reas- on. G. N. Scott confessed scruples against capital punishment. and was likewise excluded. c. R. Wills, seized the first opportunity to apprise the court and lawyers that he possessed actual bias.
 Grant Baldwin Accepted.
 Grant Baldwin after a long eXamin ation and five minutes recess to en- able the attorneys to consult, was ec- cepted
 k. J. Innes was the first of nearly three score veniremen who possessed sufficient force of character to assert that he would do his own thinking when it came to the law He had some pronounced views on the subject of the law of self-defense. and if the court did not agree with him, so much the worse for the court At least, Mir. Innes asserted and stuck to it that he would follow his own ideas and not those of the court when he came to the instructs The court was satisfied that Mir Innes would not make a good juror, and he was eX- cused
 Ten years ago in Idaho, F. A. Maud lin was told the story of the Jones killing. The story was presented to him so vividly and so conclusively that he still had a very fixed opinion as to how the homicide occurred. He was excused He was followed by c. P. Gordon, who confessed being res ident of Seattle. and was promptly excused.
 After the examination of Sprague, the defense took through the midday recess to consider whether he should be pre-emptOrily challenged and there upon excused him. Milburn depOsed that while he had no definite preju- dice. he had a sub-consciOus feeling that he wouldn't make a fair juror, eli a., tn haipor excused Dave Robinson said that he thought he could lay aside his precon- ceiyed opinion, but he did not think it would be fair for him to be a jur- or. Heidorn was also excused for an opinion which he felt might amount to bias. Of the entire venire, only Grant Baldwin and Gudeman Jensen were chosen. and the court at nearly three o'clock declared a recess of an hour, during which the marshal was instructed to summon six more jurors, the court announcing that he would like to complete the pannel if possible. but that he would not have them sworn for the trial of the case until Monday morning.
 Opening Statements Monday.
 If the six men to be summoned by the United States marshal shall pro- duce one more juror the opening state ments will be made and the jury sworn Monday.
