sANTRY KNOCKED OUT
Gardner Landed on His Body and the
 Fire Was Out

Louisville, May 3.-Eddy Santry of Chi cago was knocked out by Oscar Gardner before the Nonpariel Athletic club tonight' in the presence of a crowd that packed Music hall. Sporting men from all parts of the country, who are here in attendance at the races, saw the bout. George Siler of Chicago refereed the fight.
 The fight was fast. and while the honors were not materially in Santrys favor, he had somewhat the better of the argument up to the time Gardner landed the knock out. His superior reach and height enabled him to use both right and left with effect and the Omaha kids face and eyes gave evidence of the Chicago boys jabs. In the fifth round Gardner took on additional steam, and from the tap of the gong he kept Santry busy, using both hands on the latter's body. When the round was about half over they came together, and Gardners right shot with full force to the stomach Santry's hands went up and he fell over in a heap on the floor. He was carried to his corner and it was several minutes before he had survived sufficiently to be taken from the ring. Santry was un- scratched. He said 1t was a clean knock out. and that 1t was landed when he felt that he had the fight in hand.

NO MORE ABSENTEE
Order Issued Against Drinking "Aperi-
 tits in French Army

Paris May 3-A very important decision was promulgated this evening by the min ister of war general, the Marquis de Galli- fet, and one which is particularly note worthy in country like France, where the consumption of brandy and the so-called "aperitifs, such as absinthe and vermouth is so prevalent, "asperitif hour" between and p. m. being regular institution in France and especially in Paris.
 For some time the leading medical men have been strongly condemning the prac- tice, declaring that the chief brandy and alcoholic connections sold as ''asperitifs' are rapidly filling the lunatic asylums of the country.
 Recently number of military chiefs prohibited the sale of such drinks in the barracks and camps under their command General de Gallifet now comes out in de- cree making this prohibition general throughout the French army. No brandy or other spirits and no so-called "asperit- ifs' may be sold. although wine, beer and cider are still allowed as innocuous bev- erages.
 General de Galllfet says this decision is taken not only for the sake of uniformity in army regulations, but to extend to the entire army a beneficent measure which should not be confined to certain corps

NEW SPAPER MEN
Make a Kick on the High Price of
 Paper

Washington, May 3.-Representatives of the American Publishers association to- day presented a memorial to the senate finance committee finally asking that some relief be afforded on account of the higher price of paper. The delegation said the association represented 22,000 newspapers. No particular legislation was advocated
 The delegation was received by Senator Allison, acting chairman in the absence of Senator Aldrich. The discussion recited that the price of printing paper used by newspapers has increased from 60 to 100 per cent without reason or warrant to be found in the conditions of the industry which was believed to be the working of a trust.
 The association appealed to congress to inquire into the conditions complained of to the end that suitable legislation might be provided to remedy the conditions As newspapers are sold at a fixed price, the resolution says, publishers cannot put the increased cost of the paper on the consul mer, and in many instances this increased cost means the confiseation of profits, and in others it creates actual loss
 A copy of the resolution also was pre- sented by the delegation to the house ways and means committee.
