REGISTRATION

There has been some confusion
concerning the requirements of regis
tration laws before the coming mu-
nicipal election. There is nothing
surprising about this, because the
law only recently applied TO Marion
and the people are not thoroughly
familiar with its provisions. Many
times the question is asked. "What
is necessaryg' and for the inflorma-
tion we here give the provisions of
the law as interpreted by the board
of deputy state supervisors of elec-
tions.
With the man who registered for
the fall election last fall and has
not moved from the precinct in which
he registered at that time, nothing Is
necessary. The registration of laS
year suffices for this election.
The man who has moved from the
fall must go to the precinct voting
place in which he registered, secure
removal certificate and deposit it
with the registration officials in the
precinct into which he has moved.
This is imperative. No man can be
registered in his present precinct with
OF the removal certificate. This re-
quirement is to prevent his name APP
pearing ON She registration books of
two precincts.
All new voters and all others who
did not register last fall, must regis
ter before being allowed to vote in
the coming election.
All precinct voting places will be
open Friday and Saturday of this
week, from eight o'clock in the morn
ing until two o'clock in the after
noon and from four o'clock in the af-
ternoon until nine o'clock in the
evening for registration. These are
the only days this fall for registra-
ton and unless the duty is attended
to on one of these days, no voter will
be allowed to cast his ballot on elec-
ton day.
The registration laws also provide
that in case where voter has NOV
ed from one precinct TO another af-.
ter the regular days for registration,
he may secure n transfer from the
precinct in which he is registered and
present it at his new voting place
on the afternoon of the day imme-
diately preceding the day of election.
All precinct voting places will be
open on Monday before election day
from 2:30 TO $3.50 in the afternoon for
issuing and receiving such transfers,
but in no case except as stated be-
low can man be registered at this
time. without a transfer.
All voters who were out of the
city on regular registration days
are required to so to the board OF
elections and secure an order for
registration and present this order at
the precinct voting place on Monday
before election day between the hours
mentioned.
This is in brief the provision of the
registration laws and there is no ex-
cuse for a voter not qualifying for
the municipal election.

It Was a False Alarm.

A report was sent to police head
quarters that a man named Jessup,
working for the Pennsylvania railroad,
had been beaten to insensibility and
held up last night while working on
the road Investigation, however. found
the report to be without truth, and
the employee in question was as much
surprised as were the police officials
themselves.

O'CONNOR FOR BRITT
Stanley Relies on New Man
ager to Pilot Him to the
Heavyweight Title.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. ITO the
discard with Joe O'Connor, Willis
Britt is the draw.
That is the way Stanley Ketchel has
filled his hand in casting about for a
manager to make him champion of the
world. O'Connor, who has been acting
in that capacity since the time Ketchel
was a green fighter, has been dallying
imprudently on the coast while the willy
Britt has been camping sagaciously on
the trail of the middleweight cham
pion in this city since New Years.
The parties to the new alliance are
inseparable, and Britt announces that
he will remain in Grand Rapids until
after the three round sparring match
between Ketchel and Caponi Jan. Is.
Britt's first endeavor will be to ara
the heavyweight championship, despite
KetchePs hasty decision of last week
not to fight the negro. Both express
confidence in KetcheFs ability to turn
the trick, and Jimmy Coffroth's offer of
purse of nearly $40, 900 for the mill,
to be pulled off in San Francisco July
4, looks good to them
Tony Caponi and his manager, Cal
Harris, will go today to Grand Rapids,
where Caponi will finish his training
for his three round bout with KetcheI
Jan. IS. Caponi is confident that he
will give a good account of himself
| in the short tilt with the middle
weight champion.

JEFF LOOKS GOOD
IN TRAINING WORK
Begins Conditioning for the
Stage; Believed He Will
Finally Meet Negro.

Los Angeles, Jan. flames J. JEFF
fries, retired champion of the world,
yesterday began light training work
those who saw him at work declare he
is as fast and good as he ever was.
1t may be said truthfully that he
seems not to have Slowed up any.
though 1t is probable it would take
some time for him to get in shape If
he should mean eventually to get into
the ring with Jack Johnson.
Jeffries insisted today that his only
plan for going on the stage has in
duced him to resume active training
work.
There is nice lot of money in the
tour I propose to take" said JEFF, land
am not required to do more than or
binary boxing. am still able to swing
my arms around, as you may have no.
may not be as speedy as in my best
days, a little more exercise will do
wonders towards limbering me up"
1t is believed that Jeffries is sincere
in his statement that he needs condi-
tioning to go on the stage in exhi-
bItion bouts, but at the same time
those who know him well say he is
secretly trying to find out how much
of his old ability he has left, and
should he find he is as good as wher
he won the championship, it is not
doubted that he will accept one of the
offers to fight Johnson.

BUSSE GIVES
BOXING PERMIT
Chicago Mayor Says That
the Lid Isn't Lifted,
However, Yet.
IS NO CHANCE FOR FIGHTING
Sanctions Glove Contests Carded for
Jan. 90 to Aid Hos
pital Corps.

Chicago's fight lid Is to be lifted
temporarily. That is, men well known
in the ring world are to box in this
city Jan. 20.
Mayor Busse says it is the boxing
lid, not the fight lid, that is to be lifted
for this one night and declares he has
no intention of ever giving the glove
wielders a free rein here.
Anyway, the mayor has issued per-
nit to the Seventh Regiment to put on
boxing contests as part of a program
which will be given for the benefit
of the regiments hospital corps. The
permission was granted at the solicit
tation of DR.. Thomas ]. Sinclair, ma
jor surgeon of the regiment.
It was announced that there is a
complete understanding that nothing
in the way of actual lighting is to be
attempted. Dr. Sinclair promises that
the boxers who will perform will wear
pillow" gloves and will be allowed
only to spar, not to fight.
IT am not against boxing particu-
larly," said Mayor Busse, but the
sport is too frequently abused to be
permitted in Chicago. That / have
granted a permit to the Illinois Ma
tional Guard men does not indicate
that I have changed by mind. Nc
prize fighting will be permitted In Chi
cago.
DIR. Sinclair promised me faithfully
| that the bouts are to be only scien-
tifc exhibitions and to these 1 have
no objections as they are in worthy
| cause.
THE members OF the Seventh Regi-
ment wish to raise funds for regi-
mental purposes and If exhibitions Of
ring skill will assist them in getting
the money I am willing they shall have
such exhibitions. I consider that mem
bers of the regiment are really par
of our police force. They are willing
to enforce the law when called upoI
to do so and I think them Loyalty pat
riotic citizens. For this reason the!
should be allowed greater latitude.

MAY PLAY ABROAD
Miss Sutton Thinking Of
Competing in England.

Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 7-'1ndeed, I
would like to go to England next
summer" said Miss Sutton today when
asked if she would cross the Atlantic
to compete for the tennis championship
of the world at Wimbledon. The
trip would be awfully jolly and I would
like to go, but, don't you know, those
English girls ought to come to Califor-
MIA for a change. Not one of them
has ever been in the United States, and
England is such a sticky old place
compared with America. Still 1 will
go If urged sufficiently"
Miss Sutton is in perfect health at
present and keeps in good practice
through the clever playing of her sis
ter Florence. The two play every day
at the Sutton home on the old dirt
court where May learned how to be a
champion.
Miss Sutton won the English cham
pionship in 1905, lost it in 1906 and
regained it in 1907. Last summer she
stayed at home and took part in the
coast tournaments.

walker, the American trainer who

weeks. and none but white help will

Approaching the superiority of the
Americans over the foreigners when 1t
comes to exercising, riding, rubbing
and grooming thoroughbreds, Walker
has enlisted all help from this side OF
the ocean.
NJ. J. Shannon, for years known as
the Celtic Bard of the Turf" has been
engaged as assistant to Walker. Joe
