TERRITORIAL
 WIDE VISIT
 OF SCHOOLS Prof. Lester D. Henderson Returns from Visit to the Schools of
 Alaska. FOR UNIFORM SYSTEM Secured Much Data which Will Be UtiIied to lm-
 prove School
 Conditions.
FOR UNIFORM SYSTEM

Lester D. Henderson,, Territorial Superintendent of Schools, who has been making a tour of the entire Territory inspecting the school sys- tenn, returned this morning on the Admiral Evans and will remain in Juneau for the winter. He was ac- companied by Mrs, Henderson.
 Mr. Henderson left Juneau early in the spring and attended the meet ing of the National Education Asso- citation in Portland after which he sailed for Nome He inspected the schools at Nome and in the sur rounding districts, proceeded up the Yukon and stopped at Ruby, and other river towns. Some time was spent in the Fairbanks section where he inspected the Fairbanks school and those on all of the outlying creeks.
 Leaving Fairbanks he came to the coast and travelled west to- Anchor. age, Seward, Valdez and Cordova, at each of which he inspected the schools as well as those in the sur rounding towns. It is safe to say that since he left here last spring, MT. Henderson has visited 90 per cent of the schools in the Territory.
 He investigated conditions under which the schools were being oper- ated, housing, supplies. methods of teaching and the courses of study followed in each school. He now has sufficient data to enable him to provide for uniform system for the schools of the entire Territory, which to enter another under exactly the same conditions of study.

EVANS BUCKS SEVERE GALE
 PRESENT TRIP Captain Tells About His Experience in Cook Inlet and Also at
 Anchorage. SHORE ICE WAS THICK Believes That Other VeS- SeIs Will Find 1t
 Difficult to
 Unload.
SHORE ICE WAS THICK

Reporting bad ice conditions in Cooks Inlet, the steamer Admiral Evans arrived from the westward this morning with every berth on the steamer taken. Captain Glass cock reports that no trouble was ex- perienced in getting to Anchorage, but on account of the shore ice, it was almost impossible to unload freight. The captain said:
 The ice was thick enough to ham, per the work of the tugs and barges, but it was almost impossible to hold the scows alongside the ship. The Crook was going in as we came out and the Mariposa and Skagway were to follow here. The Skagway will probably find it almost impos- sible to unload, the others may make it, but it will be difficult"
 Captain Glasscock reports that from Ocean Cape to Cape Spencer, the Evans for 20 hours bucked against southeaster and says that it was one of the slowest trips he ever made southbound.
 The prominent passengers on the Admiral Evans included Charles E Heron, owner of the Anchorage Times, D. B. Patterson, business man of Anchorage; Mrs. Lenore Whorf wife and daughter of the cannery- man and coal operator at Pert Graham; P D. Blodgett, canneryman and store keeper at Kodiak, with his wife and daughter.
 The Juneau arrivals on the Evans were Lester D. Henderson and wife, s. c. Stannard, Miss Edith Griffin, A. Pearson and J. J. Marsh, with If steerage passengers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. IL
The limited woman suffrage law of
Indiana was held unconstitutional
today by Judge Rockford of the
Marion county superior court.
He said the qualifications for suf-
frage are governed by the constitu-
ton and cannot be altered by legis-
lation. He suggested an immediate
appeal 10 the supreme court.
The suit was brought by William
w. Knight, a lumber man. as a test
case.
Judge ROchford's decision hinged
on article 3. section ,, of the state
constitution. The state constitution
fixes the qualifications for voters and
limits suffrage 10 males. The suff-
rage law provided that women could
vote for offices not created by the
constitution. and woman suffrage
advocates held that because of this
the law did not cOntravene the
provisions of the constitution. Judge
Rockford refused TO take this view.
The right TO vote is inherent, and
the legislature has no power to
grant it, the decision says.
