always test the wires of my mask.

are made right and are strong. I

matches. The hopes name is Cow

nasium bouts. He has a good left hand
for a newcomer and can also cross

Spring training in the major leagues
this year has been the most unsuccess-
full in history. No club escaped from
long stretches of cold and rain, and
the players derived very little benefit
from the tours, although the club own-
ers spent thousands of dollars in their
efforts to get their men in top condi-
ton.
Perhaps this was an unusual year,
and clubs will not again encounter
such blustery weather in the South,
but if there is a lesson to be found in
the failure this year, 1t would be that
the clubs start south too soon and re-
turn too early.
With the season opening the middle
of April, it would seem prudent that
the clubs orange their training pro-
gram whereby they would moi return
north until four or five days before
the championship season opens. If
they play games in northern points on
the way home, then 1t would not be
necessary for them to reach the home
grounds until the day before the sehed-
ule starts.

George S. Carpenter, the welter-

holder of the ~middleweight title OF
England, has been matched to fight

to make 100 pounds ringside. Lewis will
sail for France Saturday.

Regulations were passed in France
recently to make the boxing game less
dangerous. The two main points about
the latest Partisan edicts are that the
ring must be padded about two inches
and that knockouts are not allowed,
the bout being stopped whenever one
is imminent. These regulations are not
bad in themselves, but they serve to
make the French sport a bit more lady
like than it has been. One feature OF
the game in France is that the fair
ladies of Paris often attend the bouts
in numbers and at the close climb en-

Archie watkins, brother Of William.
the famous battler, arrived in New
York the other day with a discolored
glim.
"All on account of William report
ed the visitor. 81 was down in Phila-
delphia to see William fight, and that
blamed coon didn't show up. When it
came down to getting ready the match
maker rushed up to me and shouted;
Amt you Watkins?'
Sure 1 answered.
We'll, get ready says he.
Il put on the togs and hoped into
the ring. The first thing 1 knew gloves
were flying all around me. One popped
me on the eye and another dropped me
flat. When | looked up to see the
referee counting and heard the crowd

Steve O'Neil, Cleveland's kid back
stop, always examines his catcher's
mask before a game and after it has
been hit by a foul tip. Steye's brother
John, formerly st. Louis and Chicago
National catcher. vas put out Of base
bah by a broken mask. A foul tip
broke one of the wires of his mask in
Boston and bent the wire back into his
eye. John was at the height of his
career then. Steve says Johns arm is
good now as 1t ever was.
Brother John didn't want me to
catch when I broke into baseball until
he saw it was my natural position"

O'Hare had issued permit for the
fireworks early in the evening and
when the last votes from the county
came in pandemonium broke loose in
front of the News. Office. For half an
hour there was red fire and skyrockets
and then the successful candidates
we're loaded into automobiles and left
for a parade of the city. The cele-
bration was kept moving for two
hours.
Notwithstanding the victory of Will
son the democratic headquarters was
deep III gloom just as soon as the city
returns came in and the few men who
waited for the returns from the rural
towns slipped away early in the even
ing without making amy demonstration
over the national victory.
The official canvass of the vote in
tn county was started this afternoon
and it will probably be completed by
Saturday. 1t is not thought that the
official returns will make any change
in the figures as given out today.

SEEK MISSING MAN.
Capt. Bennett of Mich; Leaves Pen
meyer Sanitariu1n.

Police of Kenosha and the surround
ing cities are making a diligent search
for some trace of Captain Bennett, said
to be well known man Of Crystal
Lake, Mich, who disappeared from the
Pennoyer Sanitarium on Tuesday
evening. The search for the man was
continued all Tuesday night but abso-
lutely no trace was found. Capt. Ben
nett had been brought to the sani-
tarium by his son some time ago and
it was stated that he had been i'll for
some time. He was however perfectly
rational and had shown no signs of
depression on Tuesday. Tuesday af-
ternoon with his attendant he walled
down into the city and he returned to
the sanitarium just after three 'clock
In the afternoon and went to take his
daily bath. The sanitarium officials
made search for Bennett before
making application to the police for
aid.
DR.. N. A. Pennoyer when seen said:
GIVE would rather not say anything
about the case, but Captain Bennett
left the sanitarium about six clock
Tuesday evening and we have not
been able to get any trace of him. It
is possible that he has returned to his
home in Michigan and we are hopeful
of Locating him there. Ills condition
has not been serious. He has been
considerably depressed since the death
of his wife three years ago but his
condition appeared to be steadily
improving"
Captain Bennett is well dressed and
is well appearing and he would be
easily picked up anywhere by the de
scriptions which have been sent out.
1t is said that there is no idea that
the missing man has met with foul
play or committed suicide but it is
thought that he left the institut, on
with the idea of returning to his home
in Michigan.

| In the city the vote stood Wilson
| 1907, Roosevelt 1889, Taft 923.
The victory of the head of the ma
tional ticket did not carry Judge
Karel to victory in this county for
notwithstanding the fact that the city
gave Karel lead of nearly 200 votes
he lost the county to McGovern by a
narrow margain of 33 votes. The
Karel leaders take great deal of COM
fort in the fact that Karel ran far
head of tn eaverage democratic vote in
the county and that he polled more
than roo votes more than Wilson in the
county. Karel received strong support
in all the wards of the city and had
majority over McGovern in five OF
them.
In the county districts Karel ran
ahead of the ticket but he could not
run far enough ahead to give him a
majority on the county vote.
The Social Democratic candidate for
president polled an even 400, this be-
ing nearly a hundred below the vote
polled four years ago.
The result of the election for COVER
nor in the state is still very much IL
doubt and up to late hour this after
noon no positive statement can be
given. The Milwaukee papers claim
that it will take the official count to
decide the choice between McGovern
and Karel and while the Karel men in
sist that the judge has been elected
sby q small plurality they have no
figures on which to substantiate their
claims. The McGovern leaders have
made no statement more than that the
official returns will be necessary to
show the final result of the greatest
political battle known in the state iE
the past twenty-five years.
The voters in the state elected
eight congressman and three democrats
Victor Berger, the only social demo
cratic congressman in the nation,
was retired from office in Milwaukee
by majority against him of more
than $4,000.

Wisconsin Fails to Give Bal

Election on Tuesday

Rural Districts of County Prove More

Women will not vote In Wisconsin I'M
til after ano her amendment to the
state constitution has been passed by
the legislature and submitted to the
voters for after one of the most bit
terly fought campaigns ever made for
any issue in the state the men of the
state decided by majority Of nearly
three to one that women in Wisconsin
were not ready for the ballot. In Ks-
nosha county the vote weps with the
big majority against suffrage and fol-
lowing the great activity of the women
who favor and oppose the amendment
this county shows majority against
the amendment of 626.
It is noticeable fact that the
amendment Jared better in the rural
districts IN the county than in the
city. In some Of the city wards the
vote was close, but in nearly all of
them the vote was heavy against the
ballot being given to the women. The
north wards proved bitter disappoint-
ment for the women who had fought
SC hard to put Kenosha in the suffrage
column for the heavy German vote in
these wards was cast almost solidly
against the amendment. In the eighth
ward there were 242 vote against the
amendment and but 70 for the amend
ment. In the other north wards the
proportion was almost as great against
the amendment. Out in the county
suffrage got nearly an even break.
The ballot on the amendment was
very generally voted both in the city
and county and it received larger
notice from the voters than any of
the other constitutional questions sub.
mitted.
The other questions relating to bonds
for cities, salaries of judges and the
purchase of property by municipalities
all won the favor Of Kenosha voters.

MISSIONARIES LEAVE.
Those stationed at chihuahua Have
Gone to FL PaSO.

Boston, March 25.-Conditions in Chi
huahua have become so disturbed that
all of the missionaries Of the American
board of foreign missions stationed there
have been obliged to seek refuge at lei
Paso. The news of the closing of the
Chihuahua mission was received at the
boards headquarters today in q telegram
from the Rev. Mr.. Eaton of Montclair,
N j., in charge of the work at Chihua-
hua.
Dr. and Mrs. Eaton were accompanied
to Ell Paso by six Spanish teachers at
the mission and two American mission
aries, Miss Helena NJ. Meserve and Miss
Mary F. Long, both of Boston For more
than three weeks the officials of the
board have been trying to get into COM
munication with Miss Ellen c. Prescott

LONG STRIKE ENDS.
Wages of 275, 900 Textile Mill Workers
Are Advanced.

Boston, March 25.-The great Lawrence
strike which brought in its train in
creased wages for 275,O00 textile workers
In New England, has been officially de-
clared off at all the mills in Lawrence,
having accomplished its purpose, in the
opinion of the leaders.
1t is generally believed that advances
in wages or reduction in hours of paper
mill employees, bagging and burlap work
ers machiniSts and operatives in other in
dustries are all traceable to the move
ment which had its origin in Lawrence.
The total number of persons thus to be
benefited is over 800, 900.
Advances in the price of wooden and
cotton goods which have been made or
which are in prospect will probably place
upon the ultimate consumer much of the
burden of the additional cost to the
textile manufacturers. This Will aggre-
gate ten million dollars during the next
year, 1t is estimated Mill agents in an
nouncing advances in prices have frank
ly said that the upward trend is the re-
suit of wage advances
The rise in the price of cotton goods an
nounced is comparatively small-a frac-
ton of a cent a yard in most cases-but
selling agents predict that the advance to
the retailer may reach two cents a yard.
Some increased prices have been quoted
on wooden goods, and dealers predict
higher prices next season.

LIMIT To MARRIAGE.
Only Physically Fit Will Be Permitted
the Sacrament.

Chicago. March 25.-Dean Walter T
Sumner of the Episcopal cathedral of St
Peter and Paul delivered a sermon upon
the Sacrament of Marriage" during
which he made the following announce
ment:
After consultation with the Right Rev.
c. P. Anderson, bishop of Chicago. and
with his approval Dean Sumner and his
co-workers of the Cathedral Of st. Peter
and Paul, have agreed upon an advanced
policy with regard to the administration
of marriage in the cathedral
beginning with Easter no persons will
be married at the cathedral unless they
present certificate of health from a
reputable physician to the effect that they
are normal physically and mentally and
have neither an incurable communica-
BILE disease.
This step is taken only after months
of study of the situation and elaboration
as to its advisability. It is believed that
this stand will meet with the immediate
sympathy of the clergy in the church at
large, all of whom have long felt the
undesirability of being party to the mar
riage of persons who, because of their
physical condition, should never be al
lowed to enter into the marriage state
and propagate their Species
