POLITICIANS WORRIED

CHICAGO, Feb. 4. The City of Chicago awoke today to find, itself the most powerful voting city in the United States. A count on the registration of voters completed early today showed a total of 153,897 women voters had obtained the right to cast their ballots in the primary elections of February 24. In addition 85,161 male voters registered during the 13 hours that the poll books were open. Chicago now has 676,404 voters, which is 7,252 more than the total voting population of Greater New York. The advent of the women voters threw great uncertainty into the ranks of 'the old line politicians who have controlled various wards in the city for years. They were surprised at the great number of women who flocked to the polling places to register. They attempted to figure on how many more would register on the second registration day, March 17. Leaders of the suffrage movement were at their headquarters early this morning formulating plans for getting; the women who registered yesterday to come to the polls on the primary election day. The methods which the women will employ follow the lines observed by the male politicians only in that they will furnish conveyances to take women to the voting places. The leaders believe that if the women ar brought to the polls they will vote 'Tight." Coughlln Is Anxious. The famous First ward, the stronghold of "Bath-house John" Coughlin and "Hinky Dink" Michael Kenna, trailed far in the rear of the residence ward in the number of women voters, but the Aldermen's cohorts admitted today that 1,200 more women registered than they would have believed lived in the ward. "Bath-house" is a candidate for re-election. Some prognose icators were bold enough today to predict that he would be defeated by the feminine vote. The big residence wards contributed the greatest number of women voters. The fashionable north shore sections of the city including the 21s: and 23rd wards and the "silk stocking" Ffctfons of the south side including the Third, sixth and seventh wards were far ahead of the other parts of the city inhabited by the middle and poorer classes. The levee district did not come up to the prediction of political experts who had declared that the women of the "underworld" would be taken to the registration places in large numbers to add strength to forces of the politicians of that district. The smallest registration was taken in the first and second wards which embrace the levee.

CONTRACTS NO BAR TO HIGHER RATES WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. The Interstate Commerce commission decided today that contracts made at a lower rate would not serve as a bar to granting railroads permission to increase rates. This position was taken as a forecast of the decision to be entered on the plea of eastern railroads for increased rates. The announcement was made in connection with the proposed rate advance on crushed stone from McCook and Thornton, 111., over tlfc Baltimore and Ohio to various points in Indiana and Michigan. COXEY ADDRESSES UNEMPLOYED MEN CHICAGO. Feb. 4. Gen. Jacob Z. Coxey, who twenty years ago, led an army of unemployed to the capitol ii Washington, was in Chicago toda; making plans for another such demon stration. He addressed the conventioi: of the International Brotherhood Wei fare association at Hull house. "Thert are 3,000,000 more idle men in the United States today than there were a year ago," said Gen. Coxey. "This condition is due to grasping capitalists."

ELDORADO, Feb. 4 A howl is heard here as the result of reports published in Eaton, Dayton, Richmond and other cities, to the effect that Eldorado is without a Board of Affairs. This seemed the case last week when two members of the newly elected board resigned, fearing they could not qualify for office. However, the law provided that all old board of affairs serve until the new one is fully installed. Therefore council met last week with a complete roll of members who objected, passed on successors to the men who resigned and installed the new council.

Additional help will have to be employed.

GEORGE W. MAXWELL well-known trapshootcr "I find relaxation and complete enjoyment in Tuxedo. It's a nerve steadier and a sure fire, slow burning tobacco. Easily my favorite."

Quick on the Trigger With a Snap-Shot Eye THE crack trapshooter has to be a man with steady nerves and muscles absolutely under control always ready, at the sudden jerk of a string to swing his gun into place and bring down his clay pigeon. This means trained, not to the minute, but to the split-second. He takes no chances with his nerves. We present the names of some of these crack shots who smoke Tuxedo. They like to smoke; but they take no chances on a tobacco that might "throw them off."

TOM A. MARSHALL famous trapshootcr "Tuxedo tobacco is unquestionably the acme of perfection smoking Tuxedo makes life better ivorth Itving."

FRED GILBERT the celebrated trapshooter "The coolest, most fragrant, most pleasant tobacco in my experience Tuxedo. Leads in mildness and purity."

The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette

is purposely made to give you all the benefits of the highest grade smoke. It is made from the very finest tobacco Kentucky grows ripe, mellow, sweet and mild old Burley, aged right up to perfection-day. Then treated by the original "Tuxedo Process," which takes out the sting, makes Tuxedo smoke cool

and slow, and guarantees that it cannot bite your tongue. Tuxedo has had many imitators; none has ever equalled it in sheer quality and smoking-value.

ASKS RECEIVERSHIP . FOR LODGE OF OWLS SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 4. Jonas O. Hoover, of Chicago, formerly of Goshen, Ind., has asked the St. Joseph Circuit court of this city to appoint a receiver for the Order of Owls, a fraternal organisation, with a membership of 26,000, the headquarters of which is in South Bend. The suit also is directed against John V. Talbot, Supreme President of the order. Hoover claims that the order owes him $10,000 for attorney fees. Hoover alleges that the Supreme Nest of the Owls In this city receives annually $600,000 In dues from the members.

tillo in rapid order. In fact it would not surprise us if the Tuerta troops in these cities should surrender or retreat to Mexico City. "Neither would it surprise us if Huerta should resign or flee from the country. He is doomed to fall. Now that we are able to secure arms, nothing can resist the advance of the Constitutionalists. Within three months General Carranza will be president of Mexico and the country pacified."

EXPECTS HUERTA'S DOWNFALL.

President Wilson's Action Feared by Mexican Government. WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. President

Wilson expects the lifting of the embargo on the importation of arms into Mexico to result in the complete crushing of President liuerta within a short time. Representatives of the Constitutionalists are jubilant over the action of the American government. ! Military experts claim that the re-' moval of the embargo probably will have such a market effect on Mexican sentiment that Huerta will be driven from Mexico City long before Carranza Is knocking at its gates. Pro-; test lodged with the state department from Senor Algara. charge or! the Mex-1 lean embassy in this city, against the president's action indicates how greatly the Mexican government has feared i this action.
