WILLARD WILL GET
100000 AND BONUS
Contract Drawn Guaranteeing Cham
Pion That Amount for Ten
Rounds With Carpenter.

NEW YORK.-Jess Willard, the
worlds heavyweight champion, win
be sure of at least 100000 cash and
a percentage of the moving picture
privileges if he ever boxes George
Carpenter ten rounds in this city.
The champion has been guaranteed
this sum and privilege by a coterie
of influential men Of this city.
Articles have been drawn, signed,
duly executed and are just at pres
emit resting comfortably in vaults.
Whether this particular coterie con-
ducts the exhibition at Madison
Square Garden is predetermined.
Nevertheless, the champion will re-
ceive this amount from the manage
ment of the affair, or there won't be
any fight.
When the champion was first
sounded on the big bout he imme-
diately demanded $4,000 as his
share. He based this Woolworth
price on the grounds that the re-
ceipts would exceed 100000 and
he was entitled to good share.
This information was phoned to the
combination and they agreed to ac-
cept the champions terms. So in
the articles 100000 was guaranteed
and the picture privilege was added,
which was guaranteed to be worth
the difference.

ATLANTA "cHAMBER" CAME
CLOSE TO MAKING BREAK
Got Up Big Hooray Only to Find
They We're Toe Late.

ATLANTA, Ga. That it USUALLY
pays to go to headquarters to get
your information is the moral Of the
little story herewith presented.
Seeing in the newspapers that the
city Of Savannah had requested the
war department to muster out Sa-
yannah companies Of the National
Guard in Savannah, the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce decided it
would be a corking good idea to
make the same request in behalf of
the Atlanta companies of the Ma
tional Guard,
accordingly a meeting was called
in due and ancient form, speeches
were made, ringing resolutions were
adopted, and there was nice little
hoorah in the papers.
Then it was discovered that Adj
jutant General Nash Of Georgia. has
had letter several weeks from the
War Department, informing him that
all National Guard troops would be
mustered out at home stations, unless
some special reason should develop
for doing otherwise.
1t seems that the chamber Of COM
merce hadn't thought about consult
ing Adjutant General Nash to find
out whether the Atlanta troops would
be mustered out at home or sasnas-
where else.

DEATH TAKES WOMAN
WHO BROKE HEARTS
AMERICAN BEAUTY LONG DAz.
FLED AND SHOCKED EU-
ROPE DIED POOR.

Princess Chimay is dead. She who
was the wanton flame Of Europe for
two decades, friend of king and
clown, succumbed in Padua, Italy, in
comparative obscurity after a life
Uttered with the luxuries that gold
will buy.
The first news of the Princess Chi
mays passing was received ia Chi
cago by Calvin Fentress, treasurer of
Lyon, Gary & Co., in a cable from
Padua. The cable message read:
CLARA dead Notify family
sCASSALOTA."
Cassalota was the last of her many
husbands. Her relatives in America
have aever even seen him.
Was Magistrates Daughter.
The Princess Chimay was the
beautiful Clara Ward, daughter of
Eber B. Ward, millionaire shipbuild-
er of Detroit. She was born in 1873.
Mrs. Maria Streeter, niece of Eber
B. Ward and the first wife of Capt.
George Wellington Streeter of the
"deestrict of Lake Michigan" (Chi-
cago), claimed that she was Clara S
mother
Clara Wards headlong career new
er hesitated long enough to inquire
or care much about her parentage.
She was sent to a convent in Europe
when IA years old.
She put the convent behind few
years later to begin the cafeer that
debauched mobiles and royals, broke
hearts, ruined homes, squandered
vast sums of money, and made her
name an infamy throughout the
world When she was Is she was
married to Joseph de Chimay, the
Belgian prince.
Had Intrigue With Ruler.
Her marriage was hardly a week
old when she began a scandalous af-
fair with Prince Baldwin, heir to the
Belgian throne. He died mysterious
ly at the height of the intrigue. She
then had an affair with King Leo
polds. which resulted in her social
ostrakism by the court.
She answered court scorn by elop-
ing with janet Rigo, hunchback
gypsy fiddler she met in a cafe. She
lived four years with him, spent
$3.50, 1000, bought her release, and
married Giuseppe Ricairdi, a small
clerk for Cooks Touring agency.
That affair ended shortly and she
then married Cassalota. She bore
two children to Prince Chinay and
three to the gypsy fiddler.
In her late years she became
grossly fat and took to the use of
drugs. Her mother, the late Mrs
Catherine L. Morrow Of Chicago, left
her only $1,000 of her $4,000, 600
estate.

CAUGHT MAPPING BY WOMEN
WIFE WHO DEFEATED HUSBAND
WILL BE BACKED BY BOARD
OF coUNcILMEN.

It has come at last-the woman
ruled town. Out in Umatilla, Ore.
after q whirlwind campaign, there
has been elected a feminine ticket
consisting of woman mayor, foul
councilwomen, a woman recorder
and woman treasurer, all Of whom
were swept into office by an as.
founding campaign coup, defeating
an altman ticket. The women-elect
propose giving Umatilla a business
and economy administration
Mayor E. E. Starcher, whose wife
ran against him and defeated him
for reelection, declares that the
men candidates were taken com
pletely by surprise and were defeat
ed almost before they knew any op-
position campaign was under way.
Mrs. Starcher defeated the mayor,
her husband, by a majority of 28
votes, out of ia ballots east. The
four women, who with Mrs. Starcher
will direct the administrative affairs
of the town, are Mrs. G. G. Brown
ell, Mrs. Roy F. Paulin, Mrs B. Spin
ming, and Mrs. III. P. Means, all of
them prominent business women.
Mrs. ]. H. Cheddy was elected city
recorder and Mrs. Robert Merrick
city treasurer.
Railroad Men Turned Trick.
Umatilla is a railroad center on
one of Oregon's main lines and from
all accounts the women, working Sc
cretly among the trainmen at their
boarding places, homes and at ho-
tells, successfully cornered the labor
vote and lined it up for a ssbusi-
ness-like administration. Refrain
ing from any unusual show of &C.
tivity, the women kept out of sight
until the afternoon of the munich
pal election day, when they trooped
to the polls and threw the election
to their own ticket.
The defeated mayor said: 81 can't
say what the women are going to do,
further than they have announced
that they intend to show as men
what real economy is and how to run
the administration here on business
principles
