Chicago, April 7.-William Hale
Thompson, Rep, was elected mayor
of Chicago by plurality of $3.50.
/ ,566 indicated that he had carried the
entire Republican ticket to victory.
Women voted for the first time at
mayoralty election in Chicago and
incomplete returns showed that the
relative percentages of men and
women votes received by Thompson
and Robert Sweitzer, the defeated
Democratic candidate, were approx
mately the same.
About eighty-five per cent of the
$50 900 votes registered were cast. Ac-
cording to election officials this would
set record.
Wards hitherto considered strongly
Democratic were carried by the Re-
publican candidate, and Sweitzer's
own precinct in the heart of one of
the West Side Democratic strong
holds. was carried by Thompson.
Sweitzer and his managers con
ceded the election to the Republicans
early last evening and left their head
quarters.
Before going home, Sweitzer sent
his successful rival telegram in
which he said: Congratulations on
your victory: it was conclusive
Mud Singing that was rampant
throughout the campaign gave way
10 cries of fraud and Illegal vot-
| ing
Just before noon a sensation was
caused when States Attorney
Hoyne's flying squadron swooped
down on a gathering in the First
ward-the famous "Hinky Dink'
Kenna's bailiwick-and arrested a
man wearing Sweitzer badge. The
police say they found 1000 one-dollar
bills in the mans pockets. He gave
the name of George Smith. Attor-
neys for Sweitzer appeared immedi-
ately before Judge Gibbons, who
granted writ of habeas corpus, and
set the case for immediate hearing.
The conclusion of the campaign was
marked by appeals to racial and re
ligious prejudice.
The indications we're that the next
Council would be thirty-three Demo
Gratis, thirty-one Republicans, two
Progressives, three independents and
one Socialist.

WILLARD WINS IN 26TH
RIGHT SMASH TO JAW PUTS
JOHNSON TO SLEEP.
White Man Takes Championship Title
From Black Boxer in Terrific
Battle at Havana.

Ringside, Miramlr Race Track. Ha-
vana, Cuba.-Jess Willard. Kansas
cowboy. brought back to the white
race again Monday the worlds heavy
weight pugilistic championship. Thir-
ty-eight-year-old Jack johnson went
down before one of the cowboys hay
makers in the twenty-sixth round
The 2S-year-old boy who now holds
the title of kingpin of the ring
astounded even his friends by his ring
generalship. Time and again he evad-
ed the crafty rushes of Johnson,
known as the greatest exponent OF
boxing in the ring.
During the last few rounds of the
fight johnson wearied perceptibly. He
hung on tenaciously. The giart white
hope shook himself free as a bear
shakes loose an adversary. and con
tinually pounded away. Up until al
most the last Johnson kept his cum
ming He laid traps. But the West
erner was wary.
There were very few tame rounds.
For the most part. the men mixed it
freely. 1t was a fight. all in all, that
delighted the crowd of about 15,Oo
people
Pandemonium broke loose as Ref
cree Welsh counted the numbers that
relegated Jack Johnson to the beyond
and raised aloft the gloyed hand of
the new worlds champion. 1t was a
battle of youth against age = 2S
against 3S-and, just as Willard pre-
dicted, youth won.
1t was the Kansan's famous left
followed by quick right TO the chin,
that knocked the negro cold and won
the cowboy the title. The blows
smacked out with dash of speed that
was bewildering. Almost before the
crowd at the ringside knew it, the
black man was down and out.
Johnson went over like a log. He
did not even try to get up.
Fallen Champion Leaves Havana.
Havana. - Jack Johnson. fallen
heavyweight champion, suddenly
changed his plans Tuesday and made
preparations for a quick getaway tc
England. leaving by way of Jamaica
Rumors that the negro was about to
be arrested at the request OF the
| United States government and re
turned to Chicago on white slave
charges were circulated here. Re
ceipts from the big mill fell far short
of expectations. Instead of the 500,
| 900 expected. the receipts barrel,
| reached $5000O.
Willard Returns to Be an Actor.

for Jacksonville. Fla. and will prob
ably play a weeks vaudeville engage
