County Attorney Serves Notice
on Slot Machine Owners That
New Kind Are Not Allowed
QUESTION HAS BEEN RAISED
Recent Decisions in Other States Have
Held That Trade Machines, Where
Something is Paid for Every "Nick-
eI," Have No Standing in Law if
There is Least Element of Chance.

County Attorney ]. III. Egermayer
late Wednesday afternoon served mo-
tice on owners of slot machines that
certain new machines, commonly
termed trade machines, were amenable
to the law, and must be removed at
once Recently new machines have
been placed in q few of the cigar
stores. on an opinion by an attorney
that such machines could be legally
operated The county attorney, after
looking up recent decisions, Is willing
to take issue on the legality of oper-
ating such machines, and unless the
machines are removed the matter will
be brought before the August grand
jury.
The trade machines are machines
that pay something in trade each time
a scent piece is dropped in the slot.
For instance one cigar will be paid
for every nickel inserted In the ma
chine, and the player has few
chances to win two cigars for his 5
cents, and one chance to win three. 1t
Is this element of chance that it is
claimed puts the machine under the
ban of the law. Opinions in other
states have held that, where there is
an element of chance on either side
the player to win more than he actual
ly pays for, or the dealer to pay more
than he receives money for-the ma
chine becomes a gam bling device, and
is so considered.
Other machines have recently been
put on the market with view to for
LITIGATION against the law, by paying a
stick of gum for every nickel that Is
put In These are card machines that
deal out stick of gum when a nickel
does not, win, but pays on the old
ratio OF the card machines on winning
hands. In these machines player may
realize a box of cigars for 5 cents by
throwing the right cards.
The dealers explain that In putting
in these trade machines, on the adj
vice Of an attorney, they are simply
stimulating trades and are paying In
merchandise one cigar for every nickel
put into the machine. AS they can no!
pay over three cigars for s cents, and
then only by the good luck of a play
er, they are simply selling their ci-
CARS at the retail counter price of six
for 25 cents. 1T is not believed, how
ever, that the dealers will care to con-
test any point to the extent OF a suit
to establish the right or wrong OF the
trade machine under the law, aus there
Is not. enough in the slot machine trade
to pay for the litigation. A great many
dealers who had slot machines in their
places of business prior to the coun-
ty attorneys order of two years ago
removing them, have expressed them
selves as glad that the machines are
out of the way, and that they were
more bother than they were worth.

FOUR HUNDRED BABIES.

Assessors Report 40 Births in County
During 1907.
There were 40 children born in the
county during the year 1907. according
to the reports Of the township assess
ors, which have been compiled for the
state in the office of Clerk Of Courts
H. c. Lounsberry.
It is not presumed that this is all the
births of the year, as probably many
were not reported by the assessors. OF
the total reported 213 were boy babies
and 1917 were girls.
For the year 1906 the assessors re-
ported 2OS births, which of course, was
far below the actual number.
