KELLY CUTS

Nv United Press Leased Special wire

BY united EFeos lcdhtu HItcl1l wiz
SAN FRANCISCO. May 17-Hugo
Kelly has broken the Cardinal rule Of
all defeated lighters. He has not yet
asked his conquoror. Billy Papke, for
another match.
In fact Kellys manner leaves
strong Inference that he may retire
from the ring.
Il won't admit I'm a has bcen,' he
said. 1T was that slipping on the
canvas floor that cost me the bout.
The canvas was wet, and slimy. and
l guess must have stepped on wet
spot and then went down ! don't
know Just what l viii do in the
future"
papke was tho happiest man in San
Francisco.
"Of course intend to claim the mid
dieweight title" he said. EVERY one
knows that Ketchel is too heavy te
make the weight He must scale l1O
pounds now. I he can't make the
weight he's got TO lose the title, and
that's all there is to Il. But I'll hght
him again If he wants IT,
Papke said his belief was that the
slip that put Kelly out and to which
the Italian referred was that little slip
of a glove to the jaw.

HORSE MIRED IN MUO
Was Slowly Sinking in Bot
tom of Calumet River
When Found.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. Ind, March 81. -
A horse. almost dead from fatigue and
exposure. was found yesterday by Fred
Berg, stuck in the mud of the Calu-
met river. The animal was UP to his
neck in water and if he had been
left a few hours longer would doubt
less have drowned as he was slowly
sinking. inch by inch, in the soft sticky
mud OF the river bottom.
The point at which the animal was
found was half a mile west of the
interurban bridge, which spans the CAL
umet river near Seagram. How long he
had been there can only be surmised.
Berg at once called for help, and with
the aid of ropes and planks, the horse
was pulled and pried from his posi-
tion and gotten upon dry land. 1t has
been impossible thus far to determine
the color of the animal, as he is so
coated with mud. Berg today inserted
an advertisement in THE TIMES an
nouncing his find.

TOWN BOARD TOOK UP
QUESTION YESTERDAY
City Fathers Are Inclined to Restrict
the Further Opening of Show
Houses, Because of the Increase of
insurance Rates on Buildings Sit
uated in the Neighborhood.

The license for the five-cent theaters
IN Gary was placed yesterday by the
town board al $50 per year. and the or
dinance passed will take effect from
and after April /. The amount of the
license fee was established after
lengthy discussion of the subject from
The viewpoint of the property owners,
theater owners, and prospective theater
owners, and in which the latter was
purpose shown but little consideration.
Following the licensing of the small
theaters the board will shortly pass an
ordinance limiting the number of the
aters in the city. It is the belief of
the town attorney that his can be done,
in spite of the fact that it would be
necessary to show discrimination in
favor of those who had already in
stalled their theaters in the city.
Too Many Constitute Nuisance.
The theory upon which the number
of theaters in the city could be re-
stricted is that a large number of them
would constitute nuisance. and a
danger which would cause an unrea-
sonable risk to property The danger
lies in the explosiveness of the films
The same reason that permits the lin
iting of the amount of explosive that
could be stored in one place in city,
would be the basis for limiting the
number of theaters.
Up until the last moment Mayor
Knots held out for 5000 license. He
believed that to be the most efficient
manner of preventing the over-run-
ming of the city with a plethora of
nickelodeons. The chief executive Of
the city has been enveloped recently
with five cent theaters that his insur-
ance rates have mounted upwards by
leaps and bounds and the mayor was
charitable enough to wish to prevent
other property owners from getting In
the same fix.
Provides for Inspection.
The $50 license ordinance also pro-
vides for the careful inspection of the
theaters with the view of giving the
chief of the fire department and the
building commissioner the right to en-
force the state laws in regard to prop
er fire protection, heating and ventila-
ton.
The amount of license proved salts
factory to the theater owners and their
attorneys. Clyde Hunter and Clarence
Bretsch. Already some of the theaters
have made application for the license
and they will all be provided with one
by the end fthis week.

sides in 63S Jackson street, Gary. was
assaulted last evening at 10 o'clock
while she was on her way home. be-
