With GALLANT HEART
7. W. Gibson Writes Appreciative Let
ter to Those Who Help Him.

Several weeks ago an appeal was made
through The Washington Herald for con-
tributions to aid In the fight T. w. Glib
son, former Washingtonian, 10 making In
q sanitarium at Albuquerque. N. Mex
, against tuberculosis. Since then thirteen
contributions have been received, amount
ing to 81, and forwarded to Mr.. Gibson.
The following letter was received yes
terday In response to q check forwarded
to Mr.. Gibson:
Albuquerque, N. Mex,
November q, 1916.
Managing Editor The Washington Herald:
My Dear Sir-I have received The
Herald's check for 80 to help me TO get
well, It makes a total of $2S3 which l
have received as a result OF your effort in
my behalf, as & % has been sent to me d.
rectly by other parties.
Again I wish to say that 1 thank you
sincerely for this kindness to me. 1 wish
also to thank those who have been good
enough to contribute this money for the
purpose Of helping me. hope that the
kindness may be returned to you and to
them. For, while the money has helped
me greatly. I appreciate deeply the spirit
which prompted its sending. It makes 1t
seem worth while to try. when others are
interested enough to be willing to help
me.
From the beginning. when I was taken
sick more than four years ago. I have
put up the hardest fight 1 could. I had
Just gotten a good start in life. and had
begun to try in real earnest to be use
full. I still have hopes and dreams OF
doing something that will be a credit to
myself and to my friends. and 1t has been
! those hopes and those dreams which have
sustained mo through all my desperate
struggle with this disease. A mere exist
ence is not worth the fight that It takes
to conquer an advanced case Of tubercu-
! losis.
1 am getting along splendidly. even bet
ter than hoped for. and feel quite sure
| I shall be able to take care Of myself
within sixty or ninety days. l am gaining
| in strength every day.
Within a few days l shall have an ex-
ANIMATION by a competent physician and
shall send you a copy of his report. l
think that you and those who have con-
tributed money for me are entitled to that
and I should like to say again that 1
mean to keep faith with the Herald and
those who have helped me to the letter Of
my promise. They may not, and probably
do not desire the money. but self-respect
demands that I return 1t as soon as
can, and there will always be people in
Washington who need help and are
worthy Of 1t.
With best wishes for a happy Thanks
giving Day to all, am, sincerely. yours,

 BUT CAN'T STAY

Burt B. Brewster mas been offered the management of the Juneau base ball team by the Juneau players, but stated today that on account of press of business during the summer months, he will be unable to hold the position during the entire season. He stated to an Empire reporter that he would do everything in his power to get the team started and would help in every way possible until such a time as they could choose one of their number, or some other fan to take charge of the team. He stat ed that he greatly desired to i'll the position through the entire sea son and wished to thank the boys for their confidence in him, but would be unable to do so and for that reason did not think 1t best to accept.
 The committee of three, Brewster. Gray and Henderson, have worked out the details of the coming ball season from tho standpoint of the Juneau players and fans, and are waiting the appointment of the com. mittees from Treadwell and Thane. As soon as the other towns choose their committees the joint commit tee will meet and @ system for the ball games, satisfactory to all con- cerned. will be worked out
