TO PROHIBIT GAMBLING.
Bill Drawn Up in Butte to Be Presented
.@" to Next Legislature.

The church people Of Butte have
started a movement to prohibit gam
bling in the state and have employed
an attorney to draw up a bill with it's
provisions SO strict that no one will
care to violate them, providing of
course, that the bill becomes a law.
1t is the intention to present the bill
Immediately after the organization of
the legislature and there will be a
strong lobby present to assist III its
passage. The attorney employed to
draw up the bill has concluded his
work and it is a masterpiece from a
prohibitive point Of view.
1t forbids all kinds of gambling
slot machines, horse racing and pool
selling on races. It makes the first
offense punishable by a fine of not less
than $50 nor more than $500 and i'm
prisonment Of not less than 30 days
nor more than six months in the coun-
ty Jail. The bill provides that the
second offense shall continue a felony
and he punishable by a fine Of not less
than $500 nor more than 81, 900 and
Imprisonment in the state penitentiary
not less than one year nor more than
five years.
The bill provides that any outsider
losing money at any Of the prohibited
games may recover three times the
amount lost from the proprietor of
such game or house wherein it is con-
Quoted if he has knowledge that any
prohibited game is conducted in his
house.
1t provides that any officer refusing
or neglecting to enforce the provisions
of the act is guilty of a mlsdemeanor,
and, in addition, must be removed
from Office by the county commission
ers, and they are authorized to employ
special counsel to prosecute such Off.
GERS.
The bill provides that one-third OF
every fine collected shall go to the
person successful in procuring a con
viction of an offender under the act,
The balance of the fine will go to the
county school fund.
The consensus of opinion seems tt
be that some action will be taken b.
the next legislature in regard to gam
bling, but whether it will be licensed
or abolished is a question that only
the future can determine. Many PEG
pie are of the opinion that no Law
could be passed that would entirel.

Manila Jan. 22-The disallowance by
the board of the claims of Holman a Co,
merchants of Ilollo, for damage to aud
destruction of property during the period
of appeasement, which findings have been
approved by Gen. Macarthur, establishes
a precedent against recompensing for
similar property losses in the territory in
which the war operations were conduct
ed. Some claims, notably that of the
Manila and Dagupan Railroad, which arc
not before the board, will probably go 10

possibly, eventually to Congress.

sad event. The rapidly with which the
news spread was remarkable, and within
a short half hour the members OF the di-
