VERBAL Bet NOT ILLEGAL !.
Justice Bischoff Gives Black Eye
to Hughes RacetraCk Law.
Does Not Make Individual Wagcrs a
Crime, Nor Stop Payment of
Money by a Loser.


New York City.-In the case of the
State against Melville Collins, JUS
tice Bischoff, sitting in the New York
County Supreme Court, decided that
Collins had not committed any crime
in accepting money on a bet Mt the
Sheepshead Bay racetrack two weeks
ago. Justice Bischoff holds that no
State Legislature, so far as any rec
ords show, ever had in mind the idea
of Furnishing an individual for bet
ting with another where the wager
was not professionally recorded or
registered Bischoff holds that the
Penal Code provides no penalty for a
bet between one individual and an
other unless gambling implements are
in use.
This Supreme Court Justice, before
whom. was pending the case brought
for the purpose of defining Governor
Hughes new Anti-Gambling law, rem

almost every stopping place; he re-
ceived 176 electoral votes against
271 for the late William Mckinley.
In 1878 he lectured on bimetal-
ism, and in May, 1898, he raised and

braska Volunteers, infantry, for SER

In 1900 he was again nominated
for President on the Democratic tick
ct, and also received the endorsement

another active canvass, but was again

feat Mr.. Bryan established The Com

SKETCH OF THE CAREER OF
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
|lA, Mk z2R

Without holding any official posi-
ton to lift him to public view, it is
nevertheless a curious fact that the
personality of William Jennings
Bryan has prominently impressed it.
self on the country. To be great is
easy for the man who succeeds. But
here is the man who failed, and has
grown great and more great. Only
ruler or general has received
more public attention than he. Princes
and potentates have entertained him.
Yet he is only an American private
citizen.
William Jennings Bryan is ma
tive of Illinois, having been born in
that State on March 10, 1850. He
received his early education in the
public schools and Whipple Academy.
Was graduated in 1881 at the Illinois
College, Jacksonville, and was the
valedictorian of his class; received
the degree of A. M. from the same in
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1908-07-07

and has had distinguished considera-
ton shown him in Japan, China, Rus
STA, Continental Europe and England.
At the request of King Edward he
had an audience with that famous
British ruler. The Lord Chancellor
Of England praised him before the
nter-parliamentary Conference; that
distinguished assemblage cheered his
speech and adopted his international
peace resolution.
Mr.. Bryan lives in substantial
red-brick house four miles out of Lin
coin, at little settlement called Nor
NAL. The trolley will take you there,
tall sunfowers brushing the car win
dow as it passes through. In the
little country church just at the edge
of his own cornfield, he worships on
Sunday. Sometimes he breaches
there. His wife and daughter teach
in the Sunday-school. 1t is Meth

how, and when they moved to Nor

English breakfast custom prevails.
That is, the family does not breakfast
together as a rule. Mrs. Bryan usual
ly is the first to enter the dining
room, which is handsomely furnished
in heavy black mahogany manufac-
tured especially for her. Neither she
nor Mr.. Bryan drinks coffee or tea.
Nor do the children. Unless, there
