THE NEXT CRISIS DAY WILL BE
ON TUESDAY, MARCH 1S.

Singing the Old-Tme Song, "Pray
On! Press On! We're Gaining

Harrisburg, Feb. 27.-March 18th
will be the next crucial day in the
movement for Equal Suffrage in
Pennsylvania. Senator McIlhenny,
chairman of the Senate Judiciary
General Committee, to which the
constitutional amendment resolution
was referred, has set that date for a
hearing. The suffragists hoped for
an earlier date but Senator Nell
benny, who is said to be opposed to
the measure, is apparently doing all
he can to prevent the people from
having a chance to act upon this
question. Though he says he has an
open mind, his attitude is so partial
that he is willing to have the meas
ure unnecessarily delayed.
Optimistic Outlook is Claimed
BY the Lady Warriors.
In the meantime the friends of the
resolution will keep up a vigorous
continue to gain ground as rapidly as
they did last week there will not be
much left of the opposition by the
lllhC lllS lSSOlullOn ID ISpOlISu W IAS
Senate.
Where Penrose and Guthrie
Standards Are Located.
Both Senator Penrose and Demo-
cratic State Chairman Guthrie came
out strongly for the resolution last
week, Senator Penrose in an inter
view which was widely printed said,
THE people should have a chance to
vote on this matter. That is only
logical and reasonable" The Sena-
tor also expressed the hope that re-
ports to the effect that some Sena-
tors are against the resolution are
not true.
State Chairman Guthrie sent to
each Democratic Senator a personal
letter calling his attention to the fact
that the Democratic party in its plat
form is pledged to submit the ques-
tion Of equal suffrage to vote of the
people and asking him to vote for the
resolution no matter what his views
may be on the direct question of
votes for women.

Details of Yesterdays Game.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-(Delayed l- New York was outplayed in all de partments today in one of the hardest played baseball games that was ever witnessed on the Polo grounds the scene of so many Giant yictOries-by the Philadelphia Atheltics, Connie Mack's wonderful baseball machine. Bender pitched a superb game for the visitors, and was in danger only in the fifth inning, when the Giants piled up three runs. Philadelphia already had five runs tucked away.
 New York used 3 pitchers Mar quard, Crandall and Tesreau.
 The crowd was tremendous -esti- mated at 45,OOO. It filled all the stands and stopped over into the grounds.
 Although the game was not sched- uled to begin until o'clock, 3O,OOO people were at the grounds by 12.3O, and more thousands were waiting at the gates to enter. The lower grand stand was packed, but few of the hold CTS of box seats had arrived. The weather was cloudy and threatening rain
 The Giants appeared on the field at 12.50 o'clock, and were given a rousing reception The Athletics ap- peared two minutes later, and the noise that greeted them, while not so columinOus as that for the home team, indicated that they had enthus- iastic supporters among the audience
 The Giants were in new hosiery and caps, and McGraw looked spic and span in a new suit The Athletics were in the muddy uniforms in which they had worked all season.
 Wyckoff pitched to the visitors in the batting practice and FrOmme pitched to the Giants while they prac- ticed at hitting. The Giants practice was peppery, and evidenced conf dence that was pleasing to the New York audience.
 Matthewson, Marquard, Demarree and Terseau warmed up for the Giants.
 Plank and Bender were the only Ath- letic twirlers to warm up.
 The game was started few minutes

FOOTBALL GAME IS
 PROBABLE FOR MONDAY

There is a possibility of a football game Monday Rumor insists that the town and male members of the high school faculty will play the high school team. Whether the high school peda- gOgues can show the high school boys how to play football as we'll as they make them study remains to be seen.
 Prof. Perkins should be the star of the pedagogues, for he played last year In the case of Prof. Bell it will be a matter of a comeback, for he has not played for over four years.
 The real comeback, though, will be Prof. Green, for he did his playing in the last centruy (before 19O1). and un- der the old rules when playing was really dangerous-the days of the mass and guard back plays.
 The pedagogues have brains and brawn, but it is a question whether they will have thme wind or not The high school boys have not been under fire in a game yet; most of them hay ing enver seen a game; aer light; but they have a fighting spirit and are fast
 Dame Rumor has not mentioned the town members of the team.

MUCH ACTIVITY ON
 THE WATERFRONT

A great deal of activity prevails along the waterfront, in the matter of improvements and development Be ginning with the c. w. Young proper ty alongside the City dock and ending on the flats adjacent to the Casey-Shat- tuck addition
 The Young property has had a lot of new piling driven and capped ready to receive a floor The next bit of property, claimed by both the James milling interests and the Pacific Coast company is tied up with counter in functions. Contracts have been let for driving piles extending the water front area of the lots purchased by c. F. Forrest adjoining the Juneau Iron Works and the Behrends property next to it. Also the next lot adjoining the Behrends property and the approach of the proposed Pacific Coast dock filling in the gap up to the Alaska Soda work.
 From the Pacific Coast dock around the beach line to Aux village nearly all of the property has been extended by driving piles, and capping ready for covering. Immediately adjoining Aux village or in front of the Alas ka Light and Power company's plant another lot of piling is being set. Be- yond this work large tract has been set with piles and caps placed there on. This last mentioned it is under stood will become the foundation for a large new barn that is to be con structed for the Juneau Transfer com pany.

PLANT MADE SEVEN
 TIMES GREATER

The vast improvements and eXten- sions scheduled to be made to the pow CT plant of the Alaska Light and Pow CT company during the present year, are now complete or in the last stages of being finished. The capacity has been raised from 200 kilowats to 1,500. The plant is not being run to capaci- ty, however, it not being necessary. Only 300 kilowats are now used in Jul neau. There has been expended in doing what has already been done this year $65,OO0.
 All of the machinery added is of the very latest and most improved design. One of the most important pieces of mechanism is the Allis-Chaimers steam turgo-generator established as a part of the reserve plant to be used in case the water power fails, which some times happens. This is an immense mechanism, weighing Al tons. It is mounted on a monolith concrete foun- dation reinforced with steel. It has a capacity of 800 kilowats or 75O h. p. of electrical energy.
 A new water heater has also been installed and a fine new feed pump to drive it into the boilers. The steam from the turbine or rotary engine passes through a condenser and is pumped out by new model rotrex pump.
 Two new pelton wheels have been seated on their concrete foundations and each is connected with a new Westinghouse alternator, capable of generating 800 kilowats.
 A modern switch board has been set up to which all the new machines are connected and from this switch board the different circuits will receive their energy A graphite watt-meter reg isters the amount of electrical energy that is being sent out from the plant and keeps as strict account as any cash register can of coin. Automatic circuit breakers are in place which immediately shut off the flow in case of accident.
 Next season other improvements will be made, including a new set of boilers, a new oil tank and a new pipe line.

HOW OPTOMETRISTS
 PICKED THEIR NAME

When the Optometrists of Seattle set about forming a social organization they looked up some of the biggest words in the dictionary and made them their own. The organization is known as the Optometricts' Club. An opto- metrist is one engaged in measuring eyesight; in other words, an eye doc tor The club will take dinner every Tuesday evening, and next Tuesday it will elect it's officers, the hyperope or president, the myope or vice president and the emmetrope or secretary. A hyperOpe is a far-sighted person, a myOpe a near-sighted person and an emmetrope one whose sight is normal. Seattle Post Intelligencer.

IRA RANK AND WIFE
 MAY BE LOST

The steamer Arctic that was report ed as probably lost in dispatches re- ceived by The Empire from the West ward Monday was in command of Capt Bernhard Otteson and had Ira Rankin, ne of the best known Nome merchants and owner of the steamer, and Mrs. Rank on board. She carried a crew of eight men. The vessel was but GA feet six inches in length. She called at Ketchikan on the way North.
 The dispatches in The Empire Mon- day stated that the vessel was last seen at Kodiak September 9th. She left there for Unga and nothing had been heard of her when the Dora called at Unga September 2Sth or at Chignik when it called there the fol- lowing day.
 This account of Capt. McMullen. of the Dora, the latest that has been re- cieved, does not agree with an account of the doings of the Arctic that had been received from Nome, in which it was said that H. I. Haskins, brother of Mrs. Rankin, had received a letter from the latter from Chignik in which it was stated that the Arctic had called at that place September 9th, having been delayed on account of trouble with the vessels boilers, and that she would go from there through False pass into Boring sea, instead of going out to Unimak pass, and put into Scam mon bay with supplies for a trading post owned by former Delegate Frank Waskey. The Nome dispatch said the steamer had also been delayed by shortage of fuel.
 The Arctic sailed from Seattle for Nome August 26th.
 Ira Rank and his wife, who may have fears that she was wrecked in the early September storms of the North Pacific are we'll founded, are both well and favorably known at Nome and Seattle Mir Rankin has been engaged in the mercantile business at Nome for a decade. Prior to going to Nome he and Mrs. Rankin lived for many years in Seattle. They have hosts of friends all along the Pacific Coast.

CAPE SPENCER
 HAS LIGHT NOW

The lighthouse tender Columbine, Capt. Gregory, arrived in port yester- day, being just 84 days out from Ju- neau on a cruise to the Westward. Supt. NJ. Hoadley( of the lighthouse service, is aboard and is very we'll sat isfed with the work accomplished on the present cruise. In addition to the overhauling of buOys many new lights were placed, one at Cape Spencer, the very last act before entering Icy straits on the trip Southward. The light on Cape Spencer is an acetylene blinker, visible for IF mics.
 For many years navigatOrs have sought in vain to have a light estab- lished on this point marking the en- trance to one of the most dangerous passages of the inside" route to the Westward, Icy straits. That it has been accomplished will give great sat isfaction to people who are compelled to travel on these waters.
 Lights were also established on Smith island, Ellington point, Prince William sound; on Pilot rock and at Gaines point, Seward, and one at Ko- diak.
 The Columbine will take on coal here and proceed with her work leav- ing Juneau tomorrow morning and working toward Ketchikan which is her station.

WRONGFULLY BLAMED.

Children are often blamed for not getting along with their lessons. when the real fault is with their eyes, all though unsuspected by either parent or teacher.
 If children need glasses it is cruelty not to have them; permanent injury may result; if they don't need them the fact should be known.
 A scientific examination will remove all doubt. 10-S-tf
