G. O. p. Wins In CHICAGO

Chicago, April William Hale
Thompson, Republican, was elected
mayor of Chicago today by an esti.
mated plurality of 10000. Re-
turns from l,4oo precincts out of
l,566 indicate that he has carried
the entire Republican city ticket to
victory.
Women voted for the first time
at mayoralty election in Chicago,
and incomplete returns show that
the relative percentages of men and
women votes received by Thomp-
son anc Robert Sweitzer, the de-
feated Democratic candidate we're
approximately the same.
About So per cent Of the 75O,-
600 votes registered were cast. Ac-
cording to election officials this is
a record.
The City Council probably went
Republican for the first time In
years.

GIANT White HOPE
WHIPS JACK JOHNSON
Kansas Cowboy Knocks out Bio Ne.
gro at Havana In 26th Round

..5 Havana, April 5-Jack John
son, exile from his own country,
today lost his claim to fistic fame
as the heavyweight champion of
the world, the title being wrested
from him by Jess Willard, the
Kansas cowboy. the biggest man.
who ever entered the prize ring,
and a "white-hope" who at last
has made good. Willard won
the fight in the twenty-sixth
round by a terrific right swing
to Johnson's jaw, which sent the
black champion down for a count
of ten. Seventeen thousand per-
sons saw the championship bat
tie.
Today's fight probably has no
parallel in the history of ring
battles. For twenty rounds
Johnson punched and pounded
Willard at will, but his blows
grew preceptibly less powerful
as the fight progressed, until at
last he seemed unable or unwill-
ing to go on.
Jack stopped leading and for
three or tour rounds the battle
between the two huge men was
little more than a series of pos
ings.
So il was until the twentyffth
round, when Willard got one Of
his widely swinging windmill
right hand smashes to Johnson's
heart. This was the beginning
Of the end. !
Johnson Tells Wife he is "All 10"
When the round closed John
son sent word to his wife that he
was 'all in" and told her to start
for home. She was on the way
out and was passing the ring in
the twenty-sixth round, when a
stinging left to the body and a |
cyclonic right to the jaw caused
Johnson to crumple on the floor
of the ring. where he lay partly |
outside the ropes until the referee
counted ten and held up Willards
hand in token of victory.
The day after tomorrow John
son, his wife and a little group
of friends will sail for Martin
ique, there to await passage back |
to France, where Johnson pro-
poses to settle down and lead the
life of a farmer, raising pigs and
chicken. There is no doubt that
he is through with the ring.
Willard, who is being acclaimed
tonight as the new champion, is
going back to the United States
to win the fortune which was
denied him today, when Johnson
got $4,000 before the fight
started, Willard taking only a
small share of the net receipts.
Just what his share was is not
known.
There is much discussion to-
night. and probably will be for
long time, among the followers
of the fighting game as to wheth-
er Johnson really was knocked
out. In the sense of being
smashed into unconsciousness,
he certainly was not put out.
The consensus of opinion is that
Johnson expected and knew that
tn ere wasno possibility of his
winning; so, when knocked down
he chose to take the count rather
than rise and stand further pun
ishment.
