Gambler to Penitentlary
For Five Years.

Jeiiersoe City. No., Nov. 10
Grant Mathis, OF Newton county, IL
Is believed, will be the first person In
Missouri to serve a Penitentisry sen.
tencs for violation OF the sntigambl.
ing law enacted In the seventies and
known all over the State an the
johnson gambling law because Of lie
author, former Lieutenant Governor
Charles P. johnson, of 81. Louis.
The case Of the State against
Mathis was decided in the Supreme
Court today. through an opinion
fled BY Judge Burgess and concurrsd
In by the other Judges. Mathis was
convicted In Newton county In 1908
OF having been the proprietor Of q
gambling game and was sentenced
TO the Penitentiary for ave years.
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1907-11-21

This sentence is affirmed by the Su-
preme Conrt. and nothing but the
Governors psrdoping power now
Glands between Mathis and the pris-
on
/, Mathis was charged with operating
two poker and two craps tables. The
defense was that the tables were not
gambling tables, but were for ordi-
nary household or Office use. On this
ground the defense contended that
the tables were not gambling devices
within the meaning Of the law and
hence the statutes had not been
violated.
In determining this point Judge
CAN'T holds that the statutes must
not BE- given any such restrictive
construction and that the particular
kind Of tables used is immatefial 20
long as they were used as gambling
devices

war TALK is
VERY FOOLISH
NOT EVEN RESPECTABLE NON.
SENSE is WHAT FORMER
AMBASSADOR SAYS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. II. ~
Not even respectable nonsense" was
the way former Ambassador Luke
Wright. who has just returned from
Toxic to resume private life, charae.
terizes the war talk between the Unit
ed states and Japan. The Ambassa
dor had a long talk with Acting secre'
tary of state Adee, having cali
ed to close his oficiaI connection with
the department preparatory to goins
to his home at Memphis, Tenn. Gov.
Wright was In Japan as the represen.
tative OF the United sttaes when the
assault upon Japanese restaurant keep
ers was made in San Francisco, and
Japanese we're barred from the schools
nd he had not left Toxic when the an
nouncement was made by the Secre-
tary of the Navy that the Atlantic feet
would be transferred to the Pacific
coast. He said that the voyage.
of the Atlantic he did not stir ON
cials in Japan to any comment, as IL
was understood that the interests Of.
the United States in Pacific waters
made 1t natural for this government
to desire to transfer part Of its naval
forces there. The San Francisco Incl
dent was not so peaceably viewed, Mr..
Wright said, as the action of taeI
school board in San Francisco was Of
an official chacter and provoked much
discussion. He thought the position
taken by the administration in at
tempting to smooth over the situation
appeased most of the anger felt in
official circles in Japan. "But Japan
does not want war with the United
States nor with any nation declared
Mr.. Wright. "The country is burdened
with debt and heavy taxatio nhas been,
increased since the war with Russia.
Further than this she has Korea on
her hands and that is no easy problem.
China, too, demands her attention.
Further than this. Japan looks upon
the United States as her best friend.
She always has so regarded this coun-
try.
