LOSSES BY PUT AND CALL.
A Suit Against q Chicago Board OF Trade
Operator to Recover Gambling
Losses.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Edward Doyle,
whom his lawyer describes as a re
former, philanthropist and philoso-
pher,'' has instituted suit against
John Robson, board of trade ope-
rator, for 100000 damages. Under
the criminal code of Illinois, losses by
put and call operations on the board
of trade may be recovered by the
loser or anyone else to the amount of
three times the original loss. Losses
of 100000 each alleged to have been
sustained by persons named in the
suit were not recovered by losers, and
Doyle accordingly sues for three times
the loss. The law of Illinois also pro-
vides that judgments on the amount
recovered may be made lien on the
property in which the gambling trans
actions took place, providing the
owners of the property sanctioned it.
Doyle's attorneys say he will at once
attach the board of trade property
in case his suit be successful.
