HAS BIGGEST VOTE

STlISHNS IlFNS BlOSESl w =
Chicago now leads all other Amer
lean cities in the number of voters
registered. Yesterdays registration
brings the number to 808,728. Of
these, 5O4,467 are men and 3O4,261
are women. New York city has 1885,
600 registered voters.
The size of the registration of the
women was a shock to the old-style
political managers. They had figured
a total of 100000 women for the en-
tire state. If the entire state comes
through as heavily as Chicago there
should be about half a million women
casting their votes in November.
The Republicans seemed to have
gained somewhat in the Womens
registration. The heaviest increase
among the newly-enfranchised vot-
ers is shown in the wards usually
termed Republican.

Fear Crisis In Mexico.

Grave apprehension regarding the out
come Of the American expedition into
Mexico in pursuit Of Villa was evident for
the first time in Washington yesterday
after receipt by the War Department Of a
dispatch from Gen. Funston saying re-
port had reached him that 1000 Cananza
troops at Chihuahua under Gen. Luis Her.
rera had revolted and aligned themselves
with the bandit chief.
Gen. Funston did not disclose the source
of his information, and so far as could be
learned, no confirmation had reached the
State Department or the Mexican embassy.
Fear that the report might be true was not
disguised in official circles, however, and
further developments are awaited with
tense anxiety.
Rebellion in Cananzas army would rem
der the position Of the American expedi-
tionary force so perilous that every avail
able soldier would be rushed in to rein
force the advancing column.
For this purpose not more than about
5000 men would be available without
calling out the National Guard.
