Boxing Contests TabOOed Because
Of Edward Sanford's Death

PHILADELPHIA Dec. 29-As a re-
suit of the fatal termination of the anna
teGr boxing bout last night at the Phil
adelphia Athletic club between Joseph
Kelly and Edward Sanford, who fought
under the name of Frank Barr, all box
ing contests have been prohibited for the
tor of Public Safety English today Is
sued an order to the police to the effect
that all permits for sparring contests
heretofore issued are revoked, and no
more permits will be issued for the same
for the present, and the police are in
structed to prevent sparring exhibitions
until further notice. There are quite
number of Athletic clubs in the city
where boxing contests. both amateur and
professional, were held, six rounds be-
ing the limit prescribed by law.
The exact cause of Sanford's death will
not be made public by the coroner until
the inquest is held tomorrow. The re-
port that his skull was fractured is err
roneous. Frank Henderson, manager of
the club. who acted as referee. was to-
day released on Loco security. Kelly and
the seconds of both boxers are still in
custody, being held without bail to await
the action of the coroner's jury.

first round Kelly threw Barr to the floor.

of other American cities for illumination
New Yerlk,s annual payment may seem
to be abnormally high. but there are va
rious reasons why the cost of public
lighting should be proportionately much
larger here than elsewhere. New York
has a larger waterfront than any other
American city. While other cities have
usually one public market, New York has
a dozen, and the eight included with
the borough of Manhattan use on an av-

she had lost all her clothing in the siege

lost in the defense of Pekin she was en-
titled to bring into this country that
which she had purchased abroad. Deputy

Bowling said, however, that it was not
for them to interpret the law, and that
