CARDS FOR PRIZES
is NOT GAMBLING
Judge Ricks of Supreme Court is Re-
ported to Have Given Taylor
willie Ladies a Decision.

Chief Justice Ricbs of the state sU-
preme court is quoted in a TayIorville
paper as saying that playing for prizes
at q card game is not gambling in the
eyes of the present laws. Taylorviiie
has been torn up the back by recent
against gambling. After the
public game had been stopped the
movement turned in the direction o.
the social game where prizes are offer
ed. Judge Ricks, who was at Taylor
vile. was appealed 10 for a statement
and he is reported TO have said:
The ladies of Taylorvillc VINO have
given or received prizes at whist this
winter have not violated any of the
statutes of the state Of Illinois
Anyone has a perfect right to give
prizes at a card party. and the giver or
the participants for the prize are not,
in my opinion, guilty of gambling in
any sense of the word, and the gamb-
ling statutes cannot be construed so
as to cover such cases.
Where the players put up money
for a prize and then play for the
prize" continued the chief justice.
then they are guilty OF gambling. and
are liable TO indictment and convic-
ton"
Judge Kicks was cited 10 an instance
of a certain whist club in town. where
the hostess on each occasion gives a
plate as a prize. the members of the
club all being aware of the stake for
which they are playing.
THAT is not gambling" said the
judge. for the statutes plainly specify
that. where players in a game have
no chance to lose anything. the eIe-
ment of gambling does not enter there
in. and as the members of the club
mentioned do not contribute to the
purchase of the prize for which they
are playing they are not guilty Of
gambling"

diction.
(By the Associated Press.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-What promi-
ses to extend into a legal and legisla-
tive battle against private car lines
was precipitated by the Interstate
Commerce Commission by the course
taken today at the beginning of the
hearing instituted to show the connec-
ton between refrigerator car lines and
railroads. Counsel for the commission
directed every effort to prove that
great railroad systems operating their
own refrigerator lines give to their
shippers a much lower rate for re-
frigeration than is obtained on roads
that are compelled TO operate in con-
nection with private car lines. In this
the railroads, notably the Illinois Cen
tral and the Pennsylvania, through
their traffic freight managers who
were on the stand the greater part of
the day apparently aided the commits
sion AS q result there were many
sharp tits between the counsel for
the commission and the attorneys for
the Armour car lines and other pri-
vate companies. The action of the
commission in initiating and prosecut-
ing the complaints has the double
purpose of establishing it's jurisdiction
the evils complained Of. The chief
contest is expected to develop on the
point of jurisdiction.
