WILLARD KEEPS CHAMPIONSHIP
Gets Decision in Ten-Itound Bout in
n. Y.-12,OOO See Fight.

New York, March 25.-Jess Will
lard still is the heavyweight cham
pion Of the world. In ten rounds Of
fast lighting he defeated Frank Mo-
ran, Of PittsbWrg, here tonight on
points.
A crowd OF about $4,000 persons
paid approximately $15O,O0O to see
the fight and went away apparently
satisfied with the result. 1t was the
greatest gathering Madison Square
Garden had ever seen. Many women
were in the throng.
Willard broke his right hand in the
third round, but blows from his fight
ing left kept Moran at a distance.
Moran's best round was the third and
his worst probably was the seventh.
He was bleeding after the fifth round
and his left eye was almost closed at
the end.
Willard was rushed to the ropes in
the third and the crowd sensed a
Knockout, but the finishing punch
was lacking.
Moran put up n game fight. Most
Of the time he crouched and forced
the fighting. Willard seemed slower
ON his feet than the challenger, and
appeared to have an unlimited capac-
ity to take punishment.
willard won seven OF the ten
rounds. Moran won the third on
points; the eighth and ninth We're
even.
The conqueror OF Jack Johnson
claimed to have broken all the bones
in the Lack Of his right hand daring
a smashing rally in the third, and it
was noticeable that he did not use his
right to any extent in later rounds.
Occasionally he uppercut to Moran's
body or jaw with that hand, but it
lacked the furnishing power exhibited
i'll his draining work.
Willard, whose weight was an
nounced at 2591h pounds I'M ring
costume, lowered over Moran, who
weighted only 20l X pounds when the
pair shook hands n few minutes he
fora 10 O'Clock
Police ojiiGials declared the crowd
the best behaved they ever had seen.
Up to the time the fighters entered
the building not a single arrest had
been made.
There seemed no point Of similar
ity between the champion and his op-
ponent. Willard, smiling, sat up
right in his corner, green robe over
his shoulders, his head topping the
ropes by two inches. Moran, chin in
hand, slouched down in his seat.

DEMOCRATS PINCH HI FQR
 HUGHES BY PAINTED INSULT

Phoenix democrats were as busy as little bees all day yesterday trying their best to 1etract from the interest and excitement aroused by the arrival of the Hughes women's campaign spe cial In fact. their business almost took on the form of dementia, and prejudiced more than one democrat against the Phoenix brand of democ- racy.
 The animus of the democrats was directed fer the day. naturally, against women who were yesterday the host esses for the city. First on the pro- gram came their attack on the wom- ans party banner Evidently know ing that it was well protected, the banner itself was left intact, but q carefully veracious state" suffrage banner boasting of Wilson's lonely New Jersey vote, and not mention was strung up over the woman's party banner, flamboyant in new yell low paint. The two signs read thus:
 Vote Against Wilson and the Democratic Candidates for Congress Their Party Opposes National Suf- frage.-Woman's Party"
 Above rose the white sign of the alleged 'Women's Woodrow Wilson I.eague"-reading Vote for Wilson Ashurst ard Hayden. They Voted for Suffrage. Actions Count. Not Talk"

He said the alleged league had run up their sign without a per init and he also believed two things could not occupy the same space a. the same time. The fire department came and ignominiously removed the democlatic state suffrage boasts.
 Before the afternoon was over. the banner went up again, promoted to a station half way down the same block. and the "Woman's Woodrow Wilson League" is now satisfied.

 The heads of the various depart- ments of the state work were called and each made his report of the years work.
 Miss Irene P. Moves. representing the elementary division of the work, was the first to make a report. She gave brief summing mp os some of the things being done and being planned for the elementary grades of the school.
 Mir C. k. Craig gave splendid re- port of what had been done, as far as he was able to collect the data for tho teen age work of the state. This is one of the most critical ages in the life of the boy and the girl.
 Mrs. Wilson's report os the home de- partments of the state showed much progress in that department of the work
 W. D. Himebaugh gave a splendid summing up of the missionary work being done in the Sunday schools and by the Sunday schools showing the need of much help along missionary lines.
 Rev. R. E. Dunlap said that the Temperance Federation the Prohibit ton Party and all the other parties were coming to the aid of the Sunday School Temperance work and helping him make his report.
 Rev. E. D. Raley. the general secre- tary, relieved the audience by pre- senting the delegates with a copy of the Arizona Republican, instead of reading his report, telling them that his report was in the paper. He urged the delegates to send copies to the workers not present.
 J. O. Sexson. the state treasurer made his annual report and delighted all the convention delegates by saving that all bills for the year were paid with a balance in the treasury.

 A. A. Trippel, who is the son of democratic appointee who hopes to improve the democracy of his de- servingneSs by being named register of the land office. is said to have ordered the signs painted and to have hired the messengers to carry them. Perhaps il was to prevent anyone thinking for one little moment that democrat would do such thing, that Hon. Trppel did his ordering under the name of smith. At any rate, the delivery of the banners was made at 19 South First avenue. which is the address of one of the numerous and palpitating democratic head quarters
 A well known democrat who saw these signs being carried about town declared that he was ashamed of his party and was sorry that any mem per of it was so wanting in sense as to believe that rudeness to a group of distinguished women, here with high if partisan motives, could ac- comp.ish anything but contempt for the democratic party for their lack of manners
 Another example of hoodlumism that was visited upon the women vis- itCrs during the day was not saddled by the democratic party upon the Women's Woodrow Wilson League Perhaps even the League will not bc the goat for everything At the gathering place of the automobile escort in front of the Noll building the tires of many of the automobiles waiting for the members of the spe- cial train were maiiciously punctured with nails.

BEWARE BUYING STOCK IN OUT
 OF STATE MINES

In spite of the fact that Attorney General Jones has declared that it is illegal, but at the same time advances no solution of the matter, mining com panies outside the state will continue to sell or solicit the sale of stock in their compaies by mail.
 The most fragrant violator of the law is said to be teh Industrial Securities company of Chicago. The literature of this company was submitted to the at torney general, who replied that it is questionable if the state can prohibit such campaigns.
 The corporation commission gave out a statement yesterday saying that the public should be very careful in sub scribing to stock of any company of fering it's holdings through the mail and not having permit from the state to sell such stock
 The commission has no way of de- termining the merits of the proposi- tions of such companies, and it is ap- parent that under the existing laws of the state they could not come into the state in person and do what they are attempting, to do by mail, and that if the propositions were really meritori- ous applications would be made and permission granted them to do busi- ness.
