CHICAGO, Aug. "A decision which is
of the utmost importance to stock brok-

exchange covered a period of five months,
during which time Chaplin acted as mis-
agent. Stocks were bought and sold by
Chaplin at tho instance of Wnlliams. and
at the expiration Of the five months the
statement which the agent rendered
showed n loss Of about 1900.
Chapins statement also showed that
he had paid out several hundred dollars

made the old plea-;ransaction illegal
ceoause it was gambling. Judge Tuley
held that before O man can recover
moneys lost in speculation in stocks he
must show conclusively that the opera

through whom he conducted his deals,
was q knowing party. He must show
that there was no expectation of making

This, he said, was not proven in Chaplin $
