There has been some talk to the ef
fect that, the Gary mayor would bring suit to - recover ft he money, on the grounds that it had been found in his
office and no one now claims It.
This is thought to be more of a joke
than a possibility. But the $5,000 re
mains in the custody of the sheriff and there is no on to claim it.
One wag suggested that the money
be used to build a . monument calling attention to the proven honesty and

In the light of the developments any one who would claim, the money might be charged with attempting to bribe a city official. This is a penal offense. It is one of the possibilities of the situation that the briber might be convcted while the person bribed got away. It is the general impression that the money was really put up by the officials of the United States Steel company for the purpose of trapping the crooked city officials and cleaning up the city.
If that Is the case the stl company will probably "not miss the money and It has really served a good purpose in calling attention to the corruption of some of the ciy officials in Gary. It has been suggested that the county superintendent of Lake county should start proceedings to recover the money under the law. This would precipitate matters and might reveal the real ownership of the money.

KELLY KNOCKED
OUT BY DILLON Indianapolis, Ind., May 29. Jack Dil
lon of Indianapolis strengthened his claim on the middleweight title by knocking out Hugo Kelly of Chicago in the third round of their scheduled ten-
round go here last night. Kelly, though as crafty as of old and apparently, in good condition, did not have a chance with the Indianapolis man, who seemed determined to win in the shortest time possible. Kelly's defeat was complete, as he went down tor the count of five after a half minute of the third round had progressed and when he came up Dillon was at him like a flash, sending him Into dreamland wltii a left awing to the Jaw.
