PERMITS FOR CLUBS.
Mayor Says Only Private Organiza-
lions Can Hold Prize Fights.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Mayor Harrison,
in answer to several queries in regard
to public boxing in Chicago. reiterated
that there would be no boxing this
winter except at clubs who could show
a membership list. He said that the
law against public boxing would be en-
forced. but intimated that the sport
would be permitted at well regulated
private" clubs. He expressed himself
as follows on the situation:
IT do not know that any boxing will
be permitted in Chicago. There is no
special reason for this statement other
than that the law is against 1t. have
never tried to interfere with the clubs
having affairs for their own members,
but the trouble is that most of the
clubs start to sell tickets openly and
violate the condition on which the
noninterference of the police is predi-
Gated. If anything in the nature of a
public boxing match comes off the po-
lice will be obliged to interfere
Boxing promoters who heard of the
mayors statement interpreted it to
mean that boxing at some of the well
known clubs would soon be in full
swing.

SAID HE WAS CRAZY.
Man Asks a Judge to Take Some Legal
Action Against Him.

lola, Kas., Oct. 20.-Judge Smith
was surprised Tuesday when a strong,
healthy looking young man stepped
into his Office and announced that he
was rapidly going 'bughouse," and
wanted the county to take some action
in his case.
Judge Smith had known the young
man all his life. and he began to ques-
ton him. His mother had died in the
insane asylum, and for years he had
believed that he would eventually go
insane. Further questioning re-
veaIed the fact that the young man
had been drinking heavily for several
weeks, and even then was under the
influence of liquor. He said he had
come up on the morning train from
Humboldt, and as he could not find a
place to sleep he had been riding the
street cars since early morning.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 20.-Pre-

students in the various departments
of Yale university were given out to-
day. The total number of students en-

the university. A slight falling off
in the law school is due to the in
crease of tuition fees and the very
much more stringent examination for
