SELLING
DECISION
But Hard TO Tell What the
Court Has Decided

Holding charter of city of Port
land does not purport to confer ex-
elusive jurisdiction to prevent gam.
bling houses, and as a crime OF gam
ing was recognized at common law.
circuit court had no jurisdiction in
case at bar, Judgment of, A. l.. Fra
ger in case of State VS.. William NJ.
Ayres, better known as the pool SELL
ing case. Was affirmed by the su-
preme court today.
Defense contended that pool SELL
ing was not included within the cat
egory of crimes set forth in the spe-
cial gambling law of the state, and
that prosecution could not stand un-
der that statute. and the court. In
an opinion by Justice Moore, holds
that any game of chance in which a
device is used is gambling; that pool
selling, as set out in the indictment,
was device, and that the keeping OF
a place for the sale OF pools on
horses by which money or property
is staked on the result of a race Is
the maintaining of gambling house.
but concludes with the holding that
from the manner of its use a pool
ticket cannot be classed as gam
bling device, and that the selling of
pools does not come within the act.
lnasmuch, however. as the con-
tending parties have treated the
crime as having been committed
within the limits of the city OF Port
land, the remedies between the state
and city is construed as concurrent
and the conviction will stand.
Under this decision selling pool
tickets is not gambling under ths
state law. hence selling pools at the
state fair cannot be stopped.

When house bill No. 142, by Gray,
of Douglas, comes up for final pass
age at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning

special order, an amendment will be
offered providing that the Boys and
Girls Aid society of Portland be des-
ignated as an orphan home for all
purposes of the act and that 1t be
authorized to receive the annual In
terest accruing from the A. r. Bur-
bank trust fund. The total amount
of the fund is over $4,000 and the
annual interest which will accrue will
amount to about $1250 to go toward
the support of the aid society.
The bill, as introduced by Mr..
Gray provides for the creation OF a

the establishment of such an institu-
tion either at Salem or Portland and

ment is to secure the money for the

tions Friday and final action post
