ting little old, and his charges are outrageous.
Young DIR. Shcer is getting all the practice round
here now and he's reasonable"
A good while later the minister learned that DR..
Seavers was one Of many creditors Of the best
dressed man. but at that time he instantly de
cided that DR.. Slicer would be the parsonage fam
lily doctor.
Which brings us to the matter Of the clergy
mans family At the time of the reception it con-
sisted of the clergymans wife, and he had to tell
the members of his new flock that she was staying
with her mother for month or two
The Monday after his first Sunday, he himself
hurried to his mothers in law in response to a
message that sent his heart beating up in the hun
dreds. He had been expecting this message He
smiled little nervously when he got it; but he
smiled. There was more of hope in his heart than
of fear. He had found it difficult to refrain from
preaching the rearing of children that very first
Sunday
He tried to smile again when he got to his wifes
old home and they broke the gently that 1t
was-or, rather, they were-triplets. He took
long look at the three red, shapeless faces on the
pillow, then spent the rest of day and half
trying to cheer up his wife with hollow jests to
finding names for all of them
Then he went back to Wheatville and did some
thinking He had felt that the call to this church,
which added two hundred dollars to the seven he
had received in his last vineyard peculiarly
opportune Now he found it difficult to reconcile
with his notion Of an all-wise Providence the fact
that he had not been called somewhere to a parish
paying four or five thousand.
Fortunately his generous father in law paid
the bill of the doctor who assisted at the adj
vent of the trpets. Horton would have felt
worse if he had seen that bill. As it was, he
preached sermon on the Incomprehensbleness of

infants howed in chorus from the hour of ten until
midnight.
By that time the Rev. Thomas Horton was sure
they all about to die, in spite of his wfes
that it was only colo and would soon stop. He ro

len the Rev. Thomas Horton came
to the First Presbyterian Church
in Wheatville, he inquired if there
was a good doctor in the neighbor-
hood. He asked this question of
the best dressed man who attended
the reception accorded him by way
of welcome to his new parish.

TO SYNCHRONlZE
 THE POWER PLANTS

Today a party of mechanical and electrical engineers will survey the gas plant of the Alaska-Gastineau Co.,. on the beach. near Sheep creek with the idea of deyising some method Of synchronizing the electric current that is generated there with the power now being supplied by Salmon creek.
 All efforts to synchronize the power generated by the gas plant with the current obtained from the Treadwell Co.'S plant at Sheep creek failed. Since the starting of the Salmon creek power station the gas plant has been shut down.
 Every effort will be made to get more power and if it is possible to synchronize the gas plant with Sal mon creek the gas plant can be of material use at least until spring when q full flow of water will increase the Salmon creek stations efficiency.

SOME PLANS FOR
 GREATER JUNEAU

President J. c. Ford announced through The Empire several days ago the intention of his company to dis. pose of all it's holdings in Juneau to persons or corporations that may de- sire to improve the property-specula- tors are not to be encouraged.
 Just before leaving yesterday Mir. Ford entered further into the com pany's plans by stating that not only the upland holdings but the water frontproperty as we'll would be put on the market to people or concerns wishing to improve the same En- gineers will survey and make plats of
 the property in conformity with the present townsite regulations.
 All of the present tenants" said Mir Ford, twill be given the prioror- ity to buy. We want the people to understand that We are not trying to take advantage of the situation for pecuDiary benefit derived from the sale of this property alone. We are looking to the future Juneau must have more room to expand and as Ju- neau grows, naturally our shipping business will grow,
 We shall retain enough property for the needs of our shipping business and the balance will be sold. There is possibility that our company and the Alaska Steamship Company may get together on a plan for Union dock-Mr. Ward seems to like the idea, but I don't particularly care for it myself-I might get indicted again. The best plan is for the city to own the dock and control it, giving every ship that comes to the port the same consideration - a square deal is all that anyone should ask for.
 "whiIe the circumstances that brought me to Juneau at this time were not of pleasant nature, am glad I came. am now more familiar with the local situation and can real ize more fully the great future in store for Juneau"

Perry J. Wiley. the twelfth jur, or was secured in the Irene Taylor case from the special yenire and the government. through Assistant Dis about four o'clock yesterday after noon
 Mir. Nye, in his opening statement to the jury said, in substance:
 The Government expects to show in this case that on the evening Of July 22, last, at Wrangell, in a house occupied by the defendant who is commonly known as Irene Taylor and by her friend Lillian Wayne, a man named John E. Anderson was shot by Irene. The shooting oc- cured about II o'clock in the eve ming. Three men had gone to the house a short time before. These three were a man named Brady and another named Anderson, both of whom will appear as witnesses, and the third was the man Anderson who was shot. They had one round of drinks with Irene, which was paid for by one of the men. Then another round of drinks was had and Irene claimed that the men must pay for that. In a controversy which eusued on this question. Irene became very angry and ran from the room. She came back. and, standing near the center of the room, raised a revolver, which she had gotten moment be- fore while out of the room. and threat ened to shoot unless the men left. Standing at some distance from her, they were remonstrating with her and endeavoriug to calm her, when she opened fire. One bullet hit Brady in one of his toes, another passed through the door leading into the kit chen and struck Lillian Wayne in the ankle. another seems to have gone into the floor between Irene and the men. and another struck Anderson, the deceased in the chest so as to pass through or very near the upper extremity of his heart. He was sup ported out onto the walk by Brady and there collapsed and fell to the planking and soon expired. After wards Irene was arrested and admit. ted that she shot Anderson"
 That Mir. Cheney. attorney for the defense. would plead justirable homi- eide. was indicated by his manner of examining candidates for the jury. His opening address dispelled any lingering doubt on the subject if any existed
 Mir Cheney said in part "The de- fense will prove John Anderson, Knute Anderson. and John Brady forced the door of the defendants house open against her protest and came in. ItI will be shown that the three men were all drunk and that a quarrel com menced Defendant ordered them toI leave the house and they refused toJ

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Arbitra tion of the canal toll exemption grant ed American coastwise vessels will be refused by the present Senate when the matter is laid before it for deter imitation.
 That was made clear when the tolls exemption feature was incorporated in the bill as it became a law. There has been virtually no change of sen timent in the Senate.
 American coastwise vessels were exempted from payment of tolls by a vote of A to II in the Senate. It is predicted that approximately the same ratio of to 1 will prevail on the Ques. ton Of arbitration.
 The matter of arbitration was thor oughly discussed in connection with the toll exemption paragraph and the general sentiment advanced that it

go. Then Knute Anderson struck her and John Anderson struck her, knock ing her down. Then John Anderson beat her badly. She was bruised and hurt and in great fear of further bod, ny harm and so shot her assailant in self defense"
 Court adjourned after the defense had been presented and the govern, ment commenced putting in evidence this morning.
 The first witness for the govern ment was put on this morning in the person of Deputy Marshal schnabel, of Wrangell He was followed by Knute Anderson, the star witness for the prosecution. Before proceeding far Anderson was excused to let Jack Harrington, another government wit ness testify Anderson was then re- called and detailed a story in sub stance as follows:
 He and Brady and the deceased, John Anderson, made the rounds of the saloons and then up to the hotel where they had some drinks; then they went to Irene's place; she was standing in the door and invited them in; they entered. bought a round of drinks-then while Irene was gone to the kitchen for another round of drinks he inadvertently broke a photograph Irene returned with the drinks-Brady refused to pay for them; Irene was angry and would not take pay for the broken machine. told them to leave and commenced to shoot. She fired five shots. An derson after the last shot took hold of her arm and they went out togeth- CT. Afterward he left the house He was standing within six feet of Irene when she was shooting He did not know Anderson was hurt till after ward.
 On cross examination, Mir. Cheney, for the defense, handled the witness rather vigorously. Drew from him the fact that he and deceased were close friends; often passed as brothers; all ways went out on sprees together; on the night in question. they had drank two drinks all around at each saloon and five all around at the hotel bar before going to Irene's place, that he was so drunk that the marshal had to help him to jail and that he was sick while there and vomited over the place.
 To the questions: Did you not strike Irene?" and, Did not John An. derson knock her down and beat herr" and. Did you not kick her while she was down?" he gave a negative re- ply.
 It is quite evident from the method of cross examination that the defense has some startling testimony to offer The government will probably have its case in today.
