MILLION AND \ HALF
SEATTLE. July 7. The executors of the e*
ta*e of the late Jacob Furth. banker and capi
talist of this city, have rendered an estima*.o j
if the vaTue of the property of the deceased.
The value they place on it is one million five
hundred thousand dollars,
f in spite of all his wealth Furth left not a
4 nt to charity.
' All his money and t roj-erty had been civen
•o his three daughters before his death so that
he could make sure they would have all. This :

his neclect in leaving any of his money to
charitable institutions.

is more than willinv- to lose his position rath- j

WASHINGTON, July 7. Secretary Frank- ,

expressed the fear that he will be unable to 1

to make the journey this summer. However,
he is not quite sure yet and may manage to j

HU K Sk\ LAW KNOrKKI) OI T
Federal Court of Iowa Holds It To He
I’nconstitutional
DBS MOINES. July T. The federal court
today handed down a decision that the famous
Blue Sky law i> unconstitutional.
The decision came after a hearing of a test
case in which some parties were involved who
had been selling stm-k in an undertaking
which the authorities had considered to be
questionable. One of the biggest legal fights
tor many years is expected to arise from this
decision as many big promoters are said to
have bunded together to have the law knocke 1
out entirely.

WELSH WINS A
LINE BATTLE
Brats Rirhir lor Championship
of W orld A ft or 20 Rounds
of I irm* f i^htinji.
LONDON, July 7. Freddie Welsh won the
li' hi weight championship of the world today,
receiving the verdict over Willie Ritchie after
h magnificent struggle of twenty rounds.
The fight was fast and furious from (he
gong and seldom did either of the men lag
during the long contest. The reception given
the victor after the battle by the thousands of
his countrymen was enthusiastic.
Welsh has been the champion of England
and has spent five years trying to get a fight
with Ritchie and his predecessors in the cham*
pionship but every effort to arrange a meeting
was* turned down and even to secure the fight
with Ritchie the latter had to be given f23,000
of the purse, win or lose. Welsh has been
fighting for ten years and was never knocked
out. He is the holder of the Ixmsdule belt and j
would probably have had the championship
l>elt before had not every holder of the title
dodged h'm.
In the first rounds Ritchie made a splendid
showing. Never was greater enthusiasm man
ifested by a crowd of fight fans and the fact
that the contest was of an international na
ture added to the intense feeling displayed.
The countrymen of Welsh were in a large ma- !
jority. naturally, and every bit of clever work
on his part was loudly cheered. At the dost*
of the battle he clearly outpointed Ritchie
and delivered some severe punishment but the
loser fought every inch although before the
end it was evident that he had met a better j
man.

Seward in Most Pleasant
Manner.
One of the prettiest Fourth of July parades
over seen took place in Seward last Saturday .
when the school children, gaily dedecked. '
rrarched down Fourth street and circled
around the adjacent thoroughfares. Nearly j
all of the young participants trundled toy ,
automobiles, bicycles or were marked by some
feature that added immensely to the attrac- j
liveness of the whole pleasant affair. Mrs.
Schalaben and Mrs. Cook were the chief or- 1
I
ganizers but were aided by Mr. ( ook and Mr.
Koch. The success of the p.ocession is the !
more remarkable as the idea only came the I
preceding evening.
After the parade the children enjoyed an
ice cream feast on the lawn of the parsonage
and during a pause in the march Judge
Lindley Green delivered an address.
Amongst the most notable features were
the carts drawn by dogs under the guidance
of Thelma Ellsworth and •Patsy" Ray. Hale
Schalaben was a succsesful young amateur
clown and Beatrice Baughman took the part
of the Goddess of Liberty. Many others of
ti;<? young ladies and gentlemen were ais«>
distinguished and all looked very nicely.
T • auu to the pleasure of the occasion the

i.idnrt Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Schalaben des’-v to
return their sincere thanks.

WILSON VIGOROUSLY
DEFENDS HIS POLICIES
President makes great Fourth of July Oration
at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA. July. ♦». President Wil
son delivered a ringing Fourth of July oration
here and in the course of the address he vigor
ously defended th» policies of his administra
tion from the many attacks which have rec
ently been delivered against himself and his
colleagues. He declared that no matter what
the result of some of his actions might be
be was moved by no purpose except by bis
desire to serve the best interests of the nation.
During the ceremony he used the same chair
which John Hancock had used in signing the

WORK EXTENSIVELY
Frank E. Young of the Kenai Mining Com
pany is planning on doing some extensive
development work on the Cooper Creek prop
erty this summer. Since early spring he has
had a crew of several men at work prospect
ing the ground that lies near the Cooper
( reek Canyon as there has long been a haunt
ing suspicion in his tnind that the ancient
pay stitak of Cooper Creek crossed at that '
point and recent finds made there go to
show that he has been at least partly right
in his beliefs. The showing made by the
prospecting crew has been so good that Mr.
Young has decided to put in a trestle to car
ry the flume across the Cooper Creek Canyon
and will set up his sluice boxes and begin
piping in as soon as the trestle is completed.
Mr. Youngs took a crew of twelve men with
I im when he left yesterday morning and
stated to the Gateway that there is enough
pay in sight to warrant the expense that
ht is going to in opening up and that if it
continues one tenth part as good as the pros
pecting shows, he will he able to take out a
good hunch of dust this summer. He exacts
to have the ditch cleaned out. and to begin
piping hy the first of August. I he Ruble
Elevator, so long a fixture at Cooper, will be
discarded this year and the pay dirt will nc
piped directly into the boxes.
Mr. Youngs brought some of the gold to
Seward that has been taken out this year
and it has all of the ear murks of pay stream
gold, being of a round, shotty. well worn
character, with a good percentage of coarse
j gold.

DUBLIN. Ireland. .July 7. 1 he taiUr*
of this ei’y are now overwhelmed with orders
for the supply of uniforms for the national!-*

The Nationalis* volunteers have l<<n or
ganized in opposition to the Orange Volun
teers with the object <>f upholding the Iris
parliament in spite of the opponents from
Ulster. The Nationalist volunteers have rec
ently smuggler! into the country a large
quantity of ammunition most of which has
been sent from United States by Irish Amer -
cans and other American supporters of Irish
Home Rule. The outlook at the present tin *
is most serious. It is now certain that should
the Ulster Volunteers attempt to oppose the
establishment of the parliament in this city
the Nationalist volunteer army will take the
field at once.
Indeed, the chances are now that a civil
war in Ireland, of greater or less seriousness,
cannot be avoided and it will la* a war of
bitterness and fierceness unless the British
army can be used in its entirety to suppress
it.
FOUR ARK KILLED BY

CHICAGO, July 7. Jacob Nesheska, hi*

were found murdered in their home here last
night. The murder is one of the most brutal
which has come under the notice of the au
thorities for a long time. Every sign ?>oints
to the beastly determination of the murderer
who is generally believed to in* the estranged
husband of the younger woman. This man
has blamed the parents of his wife for their
estrangement. Nesheska was a laborer.
TROUBLE FEARED AT

NEW YORK, July 7. Grave danger exists

MAYOR DEMANDS RESIGNATION
OF SEWARD’S MARSHAL
Robert Guest, city marshal, has received
within the past couple of days a request from
the mayor to hand in his resignation immedi
ately. Mayor Boe give* no reason in the let
ter for demanding the resignation but rumor
has it that objection was made to some al
leged remark of the marshal. Mr. Guest
states that he will not resign. It was exact
ed that the matter would be brought up at tha
meeting of the city council last night but it
w’as not even hinted at and no further steps
have been taken. Some members of the coun
cil. believed to be the majority, are said to
be opposed to the resignation of Mr. Guest but
