COLLINS NOT GUILTY.
New York Justice Distinguishes Be-
tween Professional and Other Gambling

New York, July c.--Justice Bischoff in
the supreme court today decided that rel
Ceving money as the result of q winning
wager on horse race is not crime. The
Justices decision as at first announced
appeared to warrant the interpret alton
that al Individual betting was legal. but
the full opinion as handed down shows
that he upholds that portion of the stat
ute Which prohibits and makes criminal
the business of receiving bets The case
was that of Melville Collins who had
won and accepted money as result of
Il bet.
The Justice decided that in receiving
this money Collins had not violated the
law. The justice points out that indvid-
mal betting differs from the maintenance
OF place for gambling of person
whose profession is that of common
gambler.
Justice Bischoff said:
1T may be that since the adoption
of the constitution of 1894 declaring
the popular will that every form of
gambling be unlawful. the Legislature
should properly proceed to make the
simplest bet or hazard a crime, but
whatever the devised policy. it may be
said that that body has not yet done
so and indeed when legislation was
proposed at the last session in the
form an amendment of the racing
law directly prohibiting individual bets
upon the result of a horse race and
Furnishing violation by Imprisonment,
the proposed amendment did not be-
come law"

that the Republicans proposed to OBJ
literate the entire royal family, with
the exception of Maria Pia, the mother
of King Carlos. but that the Monarch
lists insisted that such general
slaughter would be useless.
Finally Manuel Silva Buisha and Al
fred o. Costa were given $4,000 and
10000 respectively to kill King Carlos
and Premier Franco. Arrangements

Frederick Courteney SelOus tells
some interesting things in regard to
big game in his new book. Does it
hurt to be bitten by lion. The
famous hunter was told by an old Boer
that he suffered greatly while being
bitten by lion, and he heard the
same from kaffirs. On the other hand,
the evidence Selous had been able to
gather from Europeans, who probably
possess more highhly strung systems,
goes to prove that the bite of a lion or
a tiger is practically painless. He be-
leves that the reason of this is that
the tremendous energy exerted by a
lion in biting is equivalent to a heavy
blow. which produces such a shock to
the nervous system that all sensation
is for the time being deadened as it
would be by a heavy blow from a
sledge hammer.
