OPPOSITION WAS STRONG
County Fair Association VIII Punish
the Opposition BY Refusing Employ
ment and Passes,

ROCKVILLE, Aug. f2.-The matter OF
the petition Of the Agricultural Society
Of Montgomery county asking for a
license TO sell pools al the racing al the
fair here next week came up in court
here this morning.
The petition was signed by G25 people.
and the petition asking not 10 grant the
license was signed by 400 people. After
q fun discussion Of the present status
Of things, Judge Henderson granted the
license this vear with the distinct un-
derstanding that should The present
sentiment against pool selling at the
fair continue and the same be presented
70 him in proper shape next year he
would not act under the present law.
The Pool Making Law.
The law governing the issuance OF the
license applied for was passed at the
1895 session Of the Maryland legislature,
wherein IT is provided that all pool
making ard gambling or betting on
horse races is unlawful. but that In
case Of any agricultural society WITH
twenty-five citizens OF the community IN
which pool making is intended 20 take
place. petition the court 10 grant
license 10 permit pool making the court
may grant such license FOR the few days
that the fair goes on.
The license mas been granted as
matter IF course ever since that law
was passed. Judge Henderson held ihtt
the law was not then Of judicial coBA-L-
aHce, but was one OF gpEernru"niai pol-
tics. and that the legislature should
determine its outline. He said that II
he took any action al all under the law
he had 10 assume the whole reSpou-
sibIlity 10 withhold or grant the license,
otherwise the statute itself was aheou-
sttutional He further held that ihe mat
ter. as presented 20 the courts, In the
petitions today. was no for hi INTO say
which was right or wrong. but was
solely a matter for Legislature.
Society Indignant
The society is lndlsn that such a
strong effort was made Go prevent the
issuance Of the license. Many ministers
Joined in the movement against the -ssu-
ance OF the privilege and were supported
by a number Of former employees OF the
annual fairs. As a result OF this action
the society has decided not 10 Te-employ
any Of those people who signed the pet-
ton against the license nor 10 send
pass 10 any minister who was involved

necessary paper by Judge Henderson
