A BLOW FOR TAGGART
Court Against Him State
Within Rights in Seizure
Of Gambling Outfit.

Indianapolis, Ind. Nov. 26.-National
Democratic Chairman Taggart received
a body blow today, when the supreme
court held in the French Lick gamb-
ling cases that the state had acted
within it's authority in taking possess
sion of the gambling paraphernalia
and that the charter under which the
hotel company is organized may be re-
voked by the state.
The trial Judge decided that the act
ion should have been brought against
the French Lick and West Baden hotel
company by the local prosecutor, but
todays decision afirms the right of
the state to protect through the at
torney general and in every point sus-
tains the action of that official and of
the auditor of the state IN making his
investigation.
HabituaIIy Violated the Law.
The court points out the fact that the
hotel company habitually and persist
emily violated the criminal law, and
that the resort was widely advertised
throughout the United States as
place where gamblers could pursue
their avocation with none to modest
or make afraid, and that the local
officers were unable or unwilling to
enforce the law.
The court turns to the argument of
the hotel company, and declares that
the law permitting Incorporation of
companies does not give a license to
commit crime. and hiatt, when the de-
PENDANT asserts that the hotel business
was successfully managed the charge
of contributing to the delinquency of
children is not thereby answered, and
the agreement for a division of the
spoils, that is, an agreement for a per
cent of the profits of gambling, is en-
tirely immaterial, the chief question be-
ing the carrying on of gambling and its
iHegality under the law of the state.
Charter Is No Protection.
The conclusion is drawn from this
that the statute empowering the audit
or Of state to make examinations Of
corporations was not intended as a pro-
lection to corporations conducting
gambling houses. The power may or
may not be exercised, says the court,
but if it is the attorney general ac-
Quires authority for proceedings
against such corporations.
1t is regarded as possible that both
hotel companies may surrender their
charters and continue In business as
private companies. and while this
would not give them license to carry
! on gambling it would exempt them
from prosecution under the corpora
ton laws.

Graft in German Prisons.

In Cologne, Germany, at a recent
court trial, it was asserted that as
soon as a well-dressed prisoner appear
ed in the prison he was beset with
attentions from the wardens, all eager
for his patronage. Their object was
to act as middlemen between him and
his relatives. They would convey let
ters. money and food, and for these
services receive their reward from
the relatives of the prisoners.

tied TO the post nearest the church
porch
I suppose he'd have tied at the
porch if the place wasn't reserved for
Dietrich" Wilhelm muttered as he
fastened Nance to the fence on the OBJ
posite side OF the road. He entered
the church a few minutes before the
bridal couple arrived.
After the last words of the ceremony
were spoken the little organ sent
forth a joyous strain. and Fritz and
the door, Dietrich alone preceding
them. He was TO drive them home.
All the other guests kept their seats
until the Ginning of the church bell
announced that the bridal party had
started. for as deeply rooted as was
the belief I'm the winners omen was
the belief that misfortune would surely
follow the bride in her married life
did any in the race pass her carriage
during the run.
At the first clang of the bell there
was a general and hurried uprising
Myer and Wilhelm were the first out
and as they stepped on the porch they
saw Myers horse flying down the road
toward his home with a broken hitch
ing strap dangling from his bit In
frantic anger Myer jumped from the
porch and went yelling after the horse.
You're going the wrong way to win
the race" called some one after him.
Wilhelm hurried TO where Nance was
tied. Oats" he whispered in her ear.
He jumped in the buggy and drove to
Frieda. who was standing with a group
of girls awaiting their escorts.
Jump in Frieda." invited Wilhelm.
Nance won't stand"
Frieda glanced at her father in the
distance and then at Myers disappear
ing figure. Then she accepted the help
of Wilhelm's free hand and sprang into
the buggy. In another second the
church bell rang for the start, and she
and Wilhelm were speeding, with a
dozen other pairs, after the bridal cou-
| pie.
With ears high and visions of full
/
run before. Through bitches, over ruts
and stones, inch by inch she gained on
the other horses until at last she had
/ left them all behind. She entered her
yard several minutes before the next
| couple arrived.
Ann and Fritz had gone into the
! house and Dietrich was tying his
horses when he caught sight of VIII
| helm and Frieda.
Il thought you were to ride with
| Myer" he exclaimed.
"Myer is running the race with his
horse" laughed Wilhelm. "He went
the other way"
It'll have to stand now" said Die
trich, shaking Wilhelm's hand. "YoU
don't seem to be very sorry about it
Puss." he remarked, pinching bis
daughters cheek as Wilhelm led heI
in to get the brides first kiss.
After the last guest had left the
church Gus Funk crawled cautiously
out through hole in the foundation of
the church.
Gee, that wasn't much of q trick.
he grinned, Ito change Myers strap fol

down the road. It's n good thing tha
Dietrich or the married pair didn't

There is an old fashioned precau-

ST. John's,6; w. Md S.

St. Johns defeated Western Maryland on
Saturday on the college grounds, by score
of to 5, the game ending in dispute in the
second half, when the Western Maryland team
objected to a decision of the referee and
left the field, with six minutes yet to play.
An excellent exhibition of football was
given. Western Maryland scored first on con
sstent line bucking, but failed to kick goal.
After this the St. Johns team took brace,
and it was not long before Bosley made a free
catch and shortly afterward put the pigskin
over the cross bars in place kick from the
% yard line.
In the second half the Western Maryland
team seemed to tire, and the playing was in
its territory most of the time. Bosley put
over another field goal, making the score 8 to
in St. Johns favor, and shortly after this
the Western Maryland boys objected to a de
cision and refused to play. The game was
forfeited to St. Johns. At the time of the
forfeiture of the game the ball was on the
Marylanders' 40 yard line.
After the game there was considerable ex.
element among the adherents of the two
teams and some of the participants in the
game, and in the melee several blows were
exchanged.

like to visit aud regret to leave. He had
charge of the Blue Mountain House for one

hotel is open to men and their wives.
