RUSSIAN OFFICIALS
SAY NIX ON BOXING

ST. PETERSBURG, July 5.-The courts
have decided that, however backward
Russia may be, she is still too gentle to
tolerate boxing contests.
A man named Petroff, who manages
recreation hall here. advertised contest
for money prizes among English and
French boxers.
The project of St. Petersburg. General
Bartchevsky, at first forbade the show as
a disorderly entertainment He was over
ruled by General Kurloff, minister of the
imperial police, who ordered that the show
be allowed to proceed.
Petroff went on spending money but at
the last minute the premier imposed an
absolute veto and directed that the pre-
fect's first decision should be acted upon.
Petroff then sued Bartchevsky for
1000 damages, this being money spent in
launching the show. and apparently spent
on 'squaring' Kurloff's department
The supreme court rejected his claim
and based its Judgment on statue of the
Empress Catherine issued 100 years ago
directing her ministers to see to 1t that
the lower orders should not use their fists
on each other in public or use bad Ian
guage According to the court, the box
ers would constitute the lower orders and
the spectators doubtless would provide the
bad language.
