ANTI-GAMBLING LAW UPHELD.
United States Supreme Court Afirms Ohio
Statute.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The Ohio anti gambling
statute upheld in opinion handed down
in the Supreme Court of the United States to-
day by Justice Peckham in the case of William
Marvin VS. Belle Trout. The case involved the
constitutonality OF Section 4,213 of the revised
statutes of Ohio authorizing any person who
loses money at gambling to bring suit for its
recovery.
After reviewing the case at some length and
citing the gambling laws of Ohio. Justice Peck
ham said:
The power of the State to enact laws to sup
press gambling cannot be doubted, and a
means to that end we have doubt of its
power to provide that the owner of building
in which gambling is conducted who knowingly
looks on and permits such gambling, can be
to pay a Judgment against those who won the
money, is provided in the statute in question.
The plain object of this legislation is to dis
courage and if possible prevent gambling. The
liability of the owner of the building to make
good the loss sustained under the circum-
stances set forth in the statute was clearly
part of the means resorted to bv the legislature
for the purpose of Suppressing the evil in the
interest of the public morals and welfare. We
are aware of no provision in the federal constt-
tuition which prevents this kind of legislation IN
a State for such purpose. To say that 1t must
be limited to provision allowing a recovery OF
the money by the who lost it would be in
effect to hold invalid all legislation providing
for proceedings in the nature of "qui tam ac-
tions.
The contention on the part of the plaintiff in
error that the statute violates the federal con-
stitution because it does not provide for or per-
mi trial by jury is equally without merit
