 HI. E. Ellsworth, Bandmaster, Seward
 Symphony Orchestra, Seward.
 My Dear Sousa: see by the Gate way that you have started the band wagon rolling and are taking subscrip- tions toward financing this laudable organization. I herewith enclose a check for $500 which you can use, provided, however, that you do not let Gus Borgen or Joe Badger play in your band.
 T suppose when Thelma arrives she will put all the latest jazz into the band, and the president should get the shock of his life when he arrives; and anyway it can be used for the home coming of our senator from Juneau MT. Al Chamberlin..
 eWishing you every success in rais- ing the necessary subscriptions, am yours, sincerely,

(By Special Correspondent

JUNEAU, Apr. 12-With the sex exemption clause stricken out the wo. men jury service bill passed the House this morning nine to eleven, and was returned to the Senate, which is ex- pected to refuse to concur in the House amendment. Predictions are made by members of both Houses that no agreement can be reached by the Senate and the House and that the bill may die as a result
 Foster of Cordova introduced an ap- propriation in the House asking for an appropriation of s45,O0o for the Fairbanks School of Mines and the Agricultural College, to be used dur ing the next two years.
 Policy of the First division intro duced stringent narcotics measure.
 A strong protest against the her ring tax was received from fifteen packers, mostly from Prince William Sound and westward points. The pro. tests declare that the present condi. tion of the industry is intolerable, as large stocks are on hand remaining unsold, and that these stocks cannot be sold even at loss and "The terri tory should abolish the present tax, and could we'll afford to subsidize the industry"
 The Cordova Chamber of Commerce sent in a protest against raising the salmon tax and licenses.
 Favorable action by the Senate is expected in the Hunt resolution au- thorizing Attorney General Rustgard to test the legality of the fish reserves and the expenditure of not more than ten thousand dollars for that purpose.

GOTWALs DENOUNCEs
 STATEMENT AS "BuNk'

|htrOCiOuS bunk" is the character ization of Col. John C. Gotwals. of the statement emanating from Anchorage that he had located a railroad spur from the Alaska railroad into the kantishna district, and of disagree ment between the War and Interior departments, as reported in dispatch received in Juneau from the Anchor age A. F. correspondent. The relia- bility of the source of the reports from Anchorage of statements credited to Col. Mears is also questioned by Col, Gotwals in signed statement given to The Juneau Empire by Col Got walls. In this statement he says:
 Dispatches emanating from An chorage within the last two or three days are no doubt badly warped and no one can give judgment upon alleg- ed staten ents of Col Mears until the actual statement Is received in an au. thentic manner.
 Tit is we'll, in this respect, to recall the misinterpretation of Dr. Bains in teryiew of Sst summer originating in the same place and the same man. ner.
 Tn respect to statement in refer ence to my having located railroad spur into the Kantishna, such state ment is the most atrocious bunk. The further statement that there is any difference between the Interior and War departments is cut out of the same cloth"
