TWO STATES VOTE SUFFRAGE.
Women Win in Montana and Ne.
vada, and Possibly in Nebraska.

CHICAGO. November 5-Woman suf-
frage leaders rejoiced last night when
belated returns indicated that votes
for women had been apparently grant
ed in two of the seven states voting on
the question In Tuesdays election, with
third state in doubt. First returns had
indicated refusal of the franchise to
women in all seven states concerned.
Montana and Nevada, according to the
latest returns, granted votes to women,
while Nebraska showed such a small
vote against the proposal that the
women claimed the state. Missouri
Ohio and North and South Dakota re-
fused to grant equal suffrage, the ma
jority against granting the franchise
to women increasing with the size OF
the population concerned.
In Montana. where workers of the
American Woman Suffrage Association
made heroic efforts to win the ballot
the vote was SO close that the official
count will be necessary to decide the
outcome. but the women have a slight
lead on incomplete returns.

D00MS PRIZE FIGHTING.
Amendment Prohibiting It in Cali
fornia Is Carried.

SAN FRANCISCO. November o.
Prize fighting Is doomed in California
on the face OF returns from Tuesdays
election as compiled today. The pro-
posed law doing away with fistic sport
had been given a majority of votes
in the precincts reporting and as votes
were distributed throughout the state
it seemed probable that later figures
would maintain the same ratio against
the measure. Earlier returns. espe-
cially those from cities, made 1t ap-
pear that the anti-fight measure had
been lost by a narrow margin. The
state has long been a pugilistic stamp
ing ground and 1t is said at one time
three world champions Of varying
classes lived In the same block In San

While the final makeup Of the next

from the figures obtainable today it
