GREAT FALLS WOMEN WlliPARTlCIPATE Registration Indicates Femi-nines Propose to Be Heard at Primary. (Special Dispatch to the Miner.) Great Falls, Feb. 25.

That the women of this city propose to have -n part in the coming city primary is manifest from the registration books. For primary voting privileges, there are 1.6S0 women's names on the roll and there have been between 300 and 400 registered since the books closed on the primary who will be eligible for the city election. There have been two things that impressed in the registration of women. First, it can not be laid to any particular class of women for there Is a fair showing of all classes and activity has been about as great in one line as the other. The girls who work in the stores and offices have been active; so have the clubwomen and the church workers.

There is no doubt but what the women who stand for decency and good morals far outnumber the laxer element of their sex, however. Because of the last mentioned fact, politicians have about concluded that the women's vote in Great Falls will mean power to the candidate who stands for a clean city. The church leaders have advocated registration by the women. Every protectant clergyman in the city has declared for it from the pulpit. Bishop Mathias C.

Leni-han, at the masses on last Sunday, declared it was the duty of every Catholic woman to register and then go to the polls and vote. He urged that they support the cause of prohibition and asserted it was the duty of the women, now that they have the ballot, to protect their homes from the jenemy, the liquor traffic. He cited his experience in places wnere there was prohibition on the local option plan and said there was no argumeut against prohibition that was worth while; that it did help the community and it was up to the women lo help in the' work. The Catholic women are showing a disposition to heed him in registering for voting. Clubwomen have been going in squads to register and it has been no unusual Hung ii nee irmii jo io au waiting in line to register.

There is now no doubt on the part of those watching the movement that when the city election comes there will be 2,500 women entitled to cast a ballot for the nest mayor. Mayor N. T. Lease, the present executive, has been the unequivocal advocate of woman suffrage years and it is believed that be will benefit largely by this fact. He has not announced his candidacy but very close 'friends assert he will be in the race and (conservative business men and experienced i politicians say ir he Is, lie will be re elected.

Lady Duff-Gordon the Famous Lucile The Great Criterion of Fashions Will Tell of the Latest in Hats in THE SUNDAY BUTTE MINER A Beautifully Illustrated Account CHAMPION HAS BETTER OF WHITE Welsh Wins From Chicago Boy About as He Pleases and Bout Is Onesided. Milwaukee, Feb. 25. Freddie AVelsh outboxed Charlie White in a ten-round no-decision boxing contest at the Auditorium tonight, according to the almost unanimous opinion of sporting writers. Welsh appeared to have had the advantage of five rounds, the third to seventh inclusive.

White shaded his opponent in the ninth and tenth and the first, r.cuiid and eighth appeared to be fvc. The had White at his mercy during most of the fight, being fast and clever and getting away without punishment, White was slow an? seemed unable to solve Welsh's whirlwind style of attack. In the earlier rounds Welsh set a brisk pace, but found AVhite willing to mix- with him at all times. White waited carefully for openings in the evident hope of shooting in the short left hook for which he is famous, but the champion's nifty footwork and clever blocking made many of his efforts of no avail. White seemed more confident than in their former meeting and the first two rounds seemed to the spectators to be fairly even.

Welsh got in the first punch, a light right to White's jaw. White took things easy and Freddie was outpointing the Chicago boy but grew a trifle careless. Charlie Mixed it, having a shade the better. The round endefl even. In the second White took advantage of every opportunity, but found Welsh a shifty boy.

White had more confidence and Freddie was required to use all his cleverness. Even round. White in Smothered.

The wild swing of the challenger accidentally landed low but apparently did no damage to Welsh, in the fourth White's seconds urged him' to mix, but his rushes In most cases were avoided or checked by the champion's left Jabs. Freddie danced around the challenger, landing almost at yiU In the fifth and sixth rounds. I He used a hard right swing to Charlie's I head and landed It frequently. White continually tried to whip In his left to 4 the jaw, but Welsh was too shifty to be caught. White's eyes were puffed from the champion's blows and he became so wild in the seventh and eight rounds that the crowd began to boo and hoot.

EIEITI YEARS STOMACH TROUBLE RELIEVED 01 MIZ II FElfl REEKS Promoter of Johnson-Wil-lard Fight Has Not Yet Given Up Hope of Contest at Juarez. El I'aso, Feb-. 25. The embargo placed upon the entry of Jack Johnson at any east coast port of Mexico, by General Carranza, has apparently shifted the possibility of staging a championship heavyweight boxing bout on March 6 between Johnson and Jess Willard from Juarez, Mexico, to Havana, Cuba. Jack' Curley, promoter of the fight at Juarez, departed today for Havana "to see what the matter was," he said.

"1 will bring Johnson to Juarez if I can," ho said. Early today a report was received from Toronto, Ontario, to the effect that Tom Flanagan, a former Johnson trainer, had received cablegram from Johnson In which the latter said he had called off the fight for March 6 at Juarez, Mexico. Flanagan gave out the text of the cable from Johnson at Havana as follows: "Will fight Willard here. Fight will draw as much as Jeffries-Johnson fight. There is not a chance for me to go to Mexico." Curlry Is Skeptirnl.

Curley, before his departure today for Havana, was told that Tom Flanagan, Jack Johnson's former trainer, had given otit a cable In which Johnson was reported as having said that his fight with Willard would not be held at Juarez, but In Cuba. "I don't believe Johnson ever said that," asserted Curley. "I am going to Havana to see what is the matter, that's all. There is absolutely nothing definite yet. It Is true that it has been suggested to hold the fight in Havana hut nothing has been settled so far as I am concerned." "I am not going to break camp or leave El Taso until the affair is settled.

Johnson will have to fight Willard In Juarez or not nt all." Willard will do no training for two days, it was announced, after which he will do only the lightest sort of work. He apparently has become acclimated and has worked off his excess flesh. HEI.IMXCJ REFORM. He Miss Prettyfaoe, I have been converted, and I want to make restitution for any wrong I have done.
