SLOT MACHINES KNELL
JUDGE cox DECIDES AGAINST 1T IN
THE NEWLAND CASE.
Declares His Decision Is Not a Re-
versaI of His Former Opinion
Caught On the Lottery Law.

Judge Cox rendered a decision in Police
Court yesterday morning that will Danish
the slot machines, according to prominent
cigar dealers and druggists who have been
maintaining machines Harry c. Newland,
druggist on Fort Wayne avenue, was fined
SIS and costs amounting to $50 more in two
of six cases against him, in which he was
charged with gaming and selling shares in
lottery. Two charges of rafting and one
each of gaming and selling shares in lot
terry were dismissed. The state had two de-
vices used by Newland in court, one the
regulation slot machine with hands Of
cards and the other a ''fairest wheel" On
the latter there was no chance to lose as
the customer received cigar for every
nickel deposited with a chance of getting
more than one. Thin slices of chewing gum
were given with each penny put in the card
machine. Standard gum costs So cents for
twenty packages. Royal Flush" gum, the
kind dispensed by the machine owners, costs
the same price for one hundred packages.
The trade mark was a royal flush of dia-
monds, in itself expressive of gambling.
Judge Cox held that the giving of gum in
this case was subterfuge, as value was
not given for the money.
Prosecutor Walker prosecuted the cases
under the law against gift enterprises,
where additional reward might be obtained
by playing the device over the value of the
article given.
Judge Cox said, in deciding the case: 'I
want to make myself clear. The decisions
of this court in the former prosecution have
been distorted and misrepresented. My de-
cision this morning in no way reverses my
previous decision. l am governed by the
facts as they appear in evidence, and
as well as the prosecution. [ have
held that when a man puts pennies in
a machine, and receives the full value there
for, though greater rewards may be OBJ
tanned through the device, it is not gaming.
That was my decision in the O'Meara case.
My decision in the present case of gaming
is that articles of equal value were not
Civ en-. This is made evident by the very
character of the gum itself, its cost and
trade mark. Therefore, have fined the de-
PENDANT for gaming on another state of
facts.
az have always believed there was law
cuted successfully. But when a man is
charged with gaming, and 1 find that the
state of facts showed the commission of
some other offense, could not punish for
that of which he was guilty, bat not ac-
cused. Neither was it my duty to point
out the law to cover these cases. 1 find
now that this law the one prohibiting the
maintaining of gift enterprises, fits these
cases, and will assess a fine against the
defendant for maintaining one, the device
being that 'Fairest wheel

It would seem that DR.. Nansen. who is
shortly to appear here, comes rightly by his
penchant for seeking new lands. even at
the prospect OF almost certain destruction,
for not only is he descended directly from
the old Morse sailors, who sailed forth
seeking new lands to seize and conquer, but
it is one of the inheritant traits OF the Nor
wegian race. The Norwegians are still as
they were in the old days before America
was known TO the eastern world, race OF

GOVERNMENT ARMOR PLANT
Plans Of the Naval Board Said to
be Perfect in Every Detail.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The Naval
Board appointed to examine into the
cost Of armor making will present to
Congress details of a plant which 1T
has described. 1t will cost more than
So 900. 600, and will have a capacity
of 5000 tons of armor per annum,
which is about the combined capacity
of the two arnor plants now supplying
the navy.
The process of manufacture will in
clude the latest developments in the
art of metallurgy, and while the plans
contemplate the manufacture Of Har-
veyized nickel steel armor, according
to methods used in reforged process,
they Will admit of easy adaptation to
the new secret Krupp process of hard
ening armor by the use of gas.
The plans are said to be perfect In
every detail, and having been drawn
under one Of the leading experts of
the country, the specifications are said
to be SO we'll defined that no difficulty
is expected to arise in securing straight
bids.
The board has prepared the form of
advertisement calling for bids for
erecting this plant, as Congress desired
that information, and Secretary Long
Will soon issue the advertisement. 1t
is the purpose to have all of the plans
in the Secretary's hands by the first
of next month, and if the advertise
ment Is promptly sent out, ii is hoped
that within three months at latest
Congress will have before it full in
formation as to the cost of an armor
plant. as well as offers from existinp O
plants to seel out to the Government
