Of the total registered today r-the exact number of which cannot be ascertained until a check-up is taken, but is estimated at 00 there is a trifle less than 50 per cent who are women. The comparison will probably run about even in the end. i Men and women who oppose the pro I posed city charter are said to be dil igent in registering, that they may be .certain of a vote while it appears that .there is a general lethargy prevalent on the part of those who are friendly , to the charter but do not take suffi cient interest to make sure of a vote and think the outcome is certain even at this date. Every one must regis FIRE OESTflOYS Careless disregard for precaution against fires result jd at noon today in the destruction of a camping outfit located between East Adams avenue and Connerdale. A prairie fire of no mean proportions, raged there at the noon hour and was conquered only when the fire department applied its chemicals - to the ,. b.laze. . It appears that the blaze which swept a large are in the vacant territory between Connerdale and Adams avenue, was started by a lone man who cooked his dinner in the dry grass near a group of tourist campers, and went away without extinguishing the flames.

The Dody was met at the gang plank by the officers of the Lusitania and a guard of honor consisting of the lin er's quartermasters.

Registered Day Is Near ter, and of course the six freeholders' requirements can be used as a last resort, but the cumbersome method is a nuisance. Men and women who do register are continually pestered with requests on election .day to "swear in" on Blank A men and women who did not wake up to the fact that registra tion was necessary, until it' was took late. The registration period closes Monday night and even with an ex treme rush, the number could not prob ably be brought to more than a thou sand, which is just about half of the voting strength of the jaUy. -City Re corder Warnick, who acts as registrar, expedites matters by taking signa tures alone, and forwards receipts at a later date. The registration scheme under the new law is tedious but is re quired, hence should be attended to.

For . some time the men' in the group fought the flames but the fire department was needed and Chief Benhara took a crew of men to the scene without a general alarm.
