AX FRANCISCO. Cal, April S.
bi (Special.) Pan Francisco has liT.-
s- toe registered voters. mort of
whom, having declared their party pol
itic, will be eligible to vote at the
presidential preference primaries. Res
titration closed on Saturday. On Fri
day there were close to 09 names add
d to the register and on Saturday, op
to midnight, there were 11.000 more
Voters who appeared.
Previously the registration record for
any one day had been (10. which shows
how much work the registrar of voters
and his assistants had to do in those
lt two days.
The scenes at the main office and the
emergency registration bureaus during
the closing day were spirited. Women
thronged the bureaus to register at the
last moment, but according to an esti
mate not more than Ji.Oe women have
tjuallned to vote In Kan Francisco at
a.he (residential primary.
blow to Rrajtaler.
Hardly one-quarter of the newly en
franchised cltisens of this city have
Indicated their desire to make use of
the ballot. Probably the proportion
in the country districts will be larger,
but it will be some days before com
plete figures for the state are avail
able. There were ll.eoe it-omen in the city
who were quallned to vote at the time
of the bond election. Since then It is
estimated that K.OOd other women have
r gist red. In virtually every Instance
they declared their party preference.
From the totals so far made it appears
that 71 per cent of th women have
declared their politics Republicans and
It per cent as Democrats. These are
virtually the same percentages that
apply la the male vote.
The total number who are qualified
In the city- to vote at the Republican
primary la variously estimated at from
sS.Vvf to ltO.tOO.
MeCarthr Xow Vtepoblleaa.
A Laree nart of the Lnton Labor Mr.
tr has also declared Republican or
lemocratlc preference for their pri
mary. Including ez-Mayor P. H. Mc
Carthy, who Is registered as a Repub
lican. Registration at the McAllister-street
bureau may be taken as a sample. It
showed Kit Republicans, 471 Demo
crats. II Socialists and eight declined.
Two features are prominent in the
present registration: the large number !
of those who have previously not given
their party preferences who have qual-
I (led to vote for the Republican Presl- I
dential nominees and the comparatively
small number of women " who bare
availed themselves of registration. In
dicating a meager Interest on the part
of the women In the fare of an other
wise unusual general interest.
Cblaeo 'M'essew to Vote.
The Chines vote, which Is about 0t
strong, will soon be swelled to very
respectable proportions. The reason Is
that a great many Chinese women are
going to vote.
This may seem surprising to those
who do not know the down-to-date
women of San Francisco's Chinatown,
t to those who are acquainted with
hat Interesting creature who shops la
ur most interesting establishments.
njoys all our amusements and has
earned to adopt Occidental fashions
her Oriental style of dress. It will
not come aa a shock to learn that the
Chinese women are going to vote.
However, it la said the Chinese
women are not anxious to vote. They
will do so because the men of their
families desire It.

When he went Into bankruptcy it was
with general regret and now the at

hauling Harvey and his family through
acute personal examinations to as
certain If the little property In the
hands of hla wife does not belong to
them by reason of Imperfect transfer.
Tho ocean shore sink hole took al
most all of his ready cash and that of
his family the Martins. They are
great spenders, being much In the so
cial whirl and the absence of ready
money to them Is a painful sensation.
Nevertheless, the Martin estate has
large holdings In Oregon and the rapid
development of property In and around
Portland will probably bring their
acreage on the market at a price that
will rehabilitate the family fortune.
Karsaer Professor Wasted.
The Board of Regents of the Uni
versity of California Is seeking a pro
fessor of Agriculture and Is having a
hard time finding a" man for the place.
The regents are willing to pay a big
salary for the right man. It is, whis
pered that they would not be averse
to paying something; like 17000 or
18000.
One or two men they would like,
have similar departments lu other
state universities, and are holding them
under favorable contracts. What wltb
the fine agricultural farm, at Davis, be
longing to the university, together with
ote r accessories and the splendid op
portunities there are In California for
the study of agriculture, the regents
think it Is high time for a fully
equipped mao to be at tho head of so
important m. department.
Jlaks to Be Bselaalve.
The Bohemian Club has decided that
the grove has been overcrowded during
tho first plays of recent yearn, so steps
are being taken to give members more
elbow room. In the past as many as
ISO outsider have gained admission to
the grove during Jinks time.
The usual procedure has been for
members to have visitors' cards dis
tributed to their friends Just before
the play Is given. These cards en
title the visitors to all club privileges,
including admission to the grove. But
a stop is to be put to this practice.
An amendment to the by-laws has
been proposed restricting admission to
the grove to members of tho club and
guests Invited by the sire of the jinks.
The amendment will be voted on next
week, and considering the feeling
around the club. It looks as If the move
for greater excluslveness will be successful.

'Seems to Unite Good Qualities of
All Beneficial Medicines in One
Bottle I Know of Many Won
derful Cures."
Seattle Wash., March 21, 1912.
Mr. C. M. C- Stewart, Seattle. Wash.
My Dear Mr. Stewart: I have often
wished to thank you for the results of
your Sulphurro, which has been of so
much benefit to me and mine. I was
suffering with rnoumat.sm when I first
began using it, and had been unable to
wallc without great pain. I am now
cured and within a period of six
morths. too, which I think a short
time for so serious a disease.
My family has used it with satis
factory results for various eye troubles,
and in cases of any kind of injury it
has a great reputation. Sulphurro has
been In constant use in my family
ever since I first advised it. Several
members were troubled with rheuma
tism, eye Injuries or stomach trouble, -
and in every case Suiptiurro ras given
relief.-
Now Sulphurro is used In place of
many different kinds ot medians, as it
seems to unite the good qualities of all
beneficial medicines in one bottle. The
relief is quicker and more lasting. I
know of many wonderful cures where
I knew the parties and recommended
the medicine, and their compWe restor
ation to sight and hea.th Is a pleasure
to contemplate.
Wishing you all the blessings that
should be the lot of one able to relieve
so much suffering, I am your sincere
friend,
