Walsh PITCHES TODAY
Old Sox Star Works Against Walter
johnson at Chicago.

Chicago, June 13.-Ed Walsh was
scheduled to play against Walter
johnson in today's Sox-Senator game
at the Southside park, it being Walsh's
first game this season and the first
time the two pitchers have faced each
other in three years.
Walsh has been arming up in
good shape for the last few days and
has been showing old-time form in
pitching to his teammates. Manager
Clarence Rowland thinks that Walsh
is ready to start and is sending him
IN to oppose Johnson, who is being
sent to the box to try to break Wash
inston's losing streak.
D. The Senators have won but one of
the eleven games they have played
since leaving home and johnson is
credited with that. The White Sox
have contributed three straight losses
to the Washington teams growing
string in the last three DAYS

Votes for White Women Only
Might Win South.
Democrat Plank No Stronger
Than G.. o. p. Platform.
FEAR NEGRO WOMEN VOTE
For That Reason South Doesn't
Want Suffrage.
Leaders Declare "Immediate
Action" Demand Impossible.

st. Louis, June 13.-While likely to
include some form of suffrage plank
in its platform the Democratic con-
vention probably will give the issue
no stronger Endorsement than did the
Republican convention, a Democratic
leader declared today. The Republi-
can platform declared the party fa.ors
suffrage, but recognizes the right of
states to deal separately with the ques-
ton. The explanation given by the
leader for the Democratic attitude is
that very few of the states in which
women are enfranchised are Democrat
and, despite the figures given by mem
berS of the newly organized Woman'S
party to prove, the contrary, there is
little hope OF switching them with
mere declaration for suffrage
Democratic leaders also fear the eff

there is no insistent demand
for the ballot, and where the ne
gro woman vote would be a big prob
lem. Woman's party managers were
doing their utmost to down this preju-
dice against the vote being granted in
phlets designed to show that the ne
gro woman vote would be smaller than
represented and would not be a
menace.
Want Congress to Act Now,
If the convention assumes the atti-
tude as outlined by the leader. the
nationals will be satisfied but the
Women's party will not, and declara-
ton of war will follow, their leaders
say. They want direct action, insisting
that the resolution committee should
send word to congress to pass the
susan B. Anthony constitutional
amendment.

THE LANE between Juneau and
 the South is filled with ships
 No more positive sign of the growth and importance of this city Is at hand than the amazing increase of its transportation facilities. By reason of its geographical position and industrial importance it is the transportation center of Alaska and always will Dc. The importance of any place is indicated by its trans. portation ScrviCc-Common carriers reach to the points which furnish the business. How emphatiCally this is true of Juneau is shown by look ing backward for few years It is safe to say that a decade ago the most sanguine friend of the city had not the hardihood 10 forecast the growth that we have had While We see the ships come and go. and realize that there arc more of them than formerly. the actual growth. in tonnage. hardly occurs to us.
 It is not the purpose of this brief article to go into the statistical fea- ture of this increase: that Is GOV cred elsewhere in this special edi- tion. and only enough figures are here given to bring the facts to mind in a concrete way.
 Going back ten years VIC find that in 1905 there were l6 vessels call ing at Juneau with a total net ton. mage of l3.5O0. In 1915 there were, either in operation or being brought from the Western ocean to be put in the Alaska service, 32 ships with a total tonnage of 39.OOO. In the earlier year there were entered by the Customs for Southeastern Alaska 291 vessels, while in 1915 the total number was l270. and does not in cludc ships sailing direct to Nome or other ports of Bcring Sea, can nery ships, bargcS in tow, or steam CTS making only occasional voyages No such proportionatc increase in its shipping can be shown by any other city in the country.
 Ten years ago two wharyes were in operation in Juneau and the total tonnage handled. exclusive of coal. was only fraction over 5000 tons. In 1915 there passed over the wharves within the city limits 34 1000 tons, also exclusive of coal. Of course due allowance must be made for the large quantity of construction material handled in the moro recent period.
 In 1905 the value of the merchant disc shipped to Southeastern Alaska was $4,451, ,OOO, while in 1915 it had increased 10 $1O,339,OOO. In the for mer year the total value of the i'm port and export business for the en- tire territory was $31 1,534.O .OOO and at
