DELEGATE ON JUNEAU
 CAPITOL

Delegate James Wickersham at tempted to make political capital for himself while at Juneau by talking about how hard he had been laborlng to secure an additional appropriation for the public building for Juneau. He also claimed that he had previously met with opposition in his efforts in that direction from Gov. Walter E. Clark.
 Investigation discloses that, as in many other things, Delegate Wicker sham's record in this matter does not live up to his claims from the stump.
 LET THE RECORD SPEAK.
 The appropriation for the pub buildings at Juneau-an office build. ing and the Governors residence were made in 1910. It included $2OO,. 900 as the maximum cost of the office building.
 Gov. cIark's Report of 1911.
 In 1911, Gov. Clark reported that the appropriation was not sufficient for the purposes intended. His re- port to the Secretary of the Interior that year. under the heading. Public Buildings" said:
 Nearly all the Government of fees are now poorly accommodate ed, all but one of them being heat ed by stoves and no protection of records from the constant men, ace of fire being afforded. Be- sides, most of the offices are un- comfortable in winter and on the whole are not a credit to the gov ernment. It is hoped that the pre- paratiOn of plans and specified tions for the new office building will be hastened and the work of construction begun in the spring of 1912. The appropriation of S200.000 is inadequate for the pur- pose of paying for the site and of erecting a building to include space for the large collection be- longing to the Alaska Historical Library and Museum. It is ear nestly recommended that an addi- tional appropriation of from S75.- 900 to $1O0,000 be made. in order that the building may be enlarg. ed for the purpose indicated. as we'll as to provide more ample space for the other Government offices.
 Gov. cIark's 1912 Report.
 No results coming from this sugges- tiOn of Gov Clark, he took the mat.

JAMES BRYCE SAYS
 ENGLAND IS UNITED

BOSTON, Mass. Oct. 13.-Lord James Bryce, former British ambassa' dor to the United States, in letter to Charles w. Eliot, of liar. yard, says regarding the European war:
 Neither commercial rivalry nor any fancied Jealousy of Germany's greatness has led us into this, and to the German people, our people bear no ill.will whatever. But the action of the German government in violating the neutrality of Bel gium, when France has assured us that she would respect 1t, evoked in this country, an almost unanimous sentiment that the faith of treaties and the safety of the small states must be protected. There has been no war for more than century-perhaps two cen turies-into which the nation has entered with so general a belief that it's action is justified.

 Rudolph and Gowdy constituted the battery for Boston and Shawkey and Schang began the game for Philadel phia. Pennock relieved Shawkey in the sixth inning.
 Rudolph pitched masterful game, and was especially strong in the pinches.
 Philadelphia could not catch the elusive slow ball when hits would have sent runs over the plate.
 The Braves outgamed and outplayed their opponents today in every depart ment of the sport.
 Boston cinched the game in the fifth inning when two men were out with Rudolph's single, Horan's double and Evers' solid blow to deep center.
 After the last man was out, the Ath- letics rushed over to the Braves bench en masse and congratulated their rivals and vanquishers.
 The spectators went fairly mad with joy, and paraded the field, singing and cheering.
 Except for the pitchers there was no change in the lineup from yesterday. Boston made three runs, six hits and no errors.
 Philadelphia made Ono run, seven hits and no errer.
 The batting order follows:
 Boston-Moran, If; Evers, 2b; Con- molly, cf; Gathers, If; Schmidt, 1b; Deal, 3b;; Maranville, ss; Gowdy, c; Rudolph, p.
 Philadelphia-Murphy, If; Oldring, If; Collins, 2b; Baker, 3b; McInnis, 1b; Walsh, of; Barry, ss; schang, c; Shawkey, p; Peinock, D.
 Summary:
 Two base hits, Moran, Walsh, Shawkey; double play.
