CAN ACCEPT HIS WINNINGS
Nc Crime 70 Take Money Won "a
hOrSe Race.

Ne Crime 70 Take Money Won On
Horse Race.
New York, July 3. Justice Bisqhoa,
in the supreme court, decided that 70
cetving money as the result of win
ming wager on a horse race is not a
crime. The; Justices decision as at
first announced appeared to- warrant
the Interpretation that all individual
betting was legal, but the full opinion
as handed down shows that he upholds
that portion Of the statute which pro-
hlp1ts and makes criminal the bust
ness of receiving bets The case was
that of Melville Collins, who had won
and accepted money as result Of q
bet. :, ~
The justice decided that in receiving
this money Collins had not violated
the law. The justice points out that
individual betting differs from the
maintaining of place for gambling
or person whose profession Is that Of
q common gambler. In his decision
Justice Bischoff says: -.
1T may be that since the adoption
Of: the constitution of 1894 declaring
tho 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 tt may be
said that that body has not yet done
Do, and, indeed, when legislation was
proposed at the last session in the
form of an amendment of the racing
law directly prohibiting individual
bets upon the result of a horse race
and furnishing violation by imprisen-
mont, the proposed amendment did
not become law.
Because the provisions of section
S51 Of the penal code do not, in their
import, prohibit the act with which
this relator is charged, according to
the views expressed In this menaoran-
dunn. and there being no charge of
violation of any other of the penal
statutes, he is entitled to be discharged
from custody"

Lawrence drove his ship ahead under
full sail straight for the waiting and
eager enemy. ."s ~ 49,
Shortly before 6 o'clock in the even
ing the two ships came together about
eighteen miles out at sea. 'As the
bow Of the Chesapeake began to ;dou
BILE on the Shannon's quarter" in the
words of a naval historian, "the latter
opened fire." The Shannon's broadside
did terrific execution on the Chesa-
peake. Captain Lawrence fell, severely
wounded in one leg, but propped him
self up and remained in command.
After securing a more favorable posi-
ton the Chesapeake returned the
broadside compliment. Lawrence soon
ried below, protesting.
Keep the guns going! Fight her till
she strikes or sinks!' he cried. Being
informed that the enemy had boarded
him on the spar deck, Captain Law
renee cried: "Then the officers of the
deck haven't toed the mark! The
Shannon was whipped when left the
DECK H.,
A little later he called out those i'm
mortal words, "Don't give up the
ship!'
Naval fights in those days were brief
and bloody. The firing between the
Shannon and the Chesapeake lasted
just eleven minutes, and four minutes
later the British had boarded the
American vessel and taken possession.
A fifteen minute fight made imperish-
able history
Captain Broke, after boarding the
Chesapeake, was struck down by a
saber and almost killed. He never
fully recovered, though he lived until
1941. The Shannon lost twenty-four

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Tomorrow is the nations BIRTH
day. This is a young nation, as
nations 90, being only one hundred
and thirty-one years. The United
States has lived its years well, and
it is living we'll to-day. The coun-
try is still republic, and it will be
a republic when the prophets of evil
have been a long time in their
graves. Despite all that may be
said because of what wealth has
done, we are a more democratic
people to-day than we were
on that Fourth of July in
the past when the Declaration of
independence was signed. The
people learned years ago how to
safeguard their liberties, and they
have not forgotten the lesson, though
there be foolish ones who think so.
Following the revolutionary peroid
the United States faced trouble and
conquered trouble. Trouble came
again with the second war with
England, and it was conquered.
Slavery tried the country's soul, and
secession tried it's soul, it's heart and
it's veins. but the nation lives and
freedom lives with it. In the first
years that came after the crisis
through which the country passed
there were the trying ordeals of
recovery and readjustment. When
more years mad passed the people
looked back and wondered not that
there had been so much of trial but
that there had been so little.
To-day the. country again is
troubled. There are those who see
unsolvable problems in the present.
The problems will be solved and
the exact political equality of Ameri-
can men will be maintained. There
are no shadows that will not flee
away. The Fourth of July is still
Independence Day.

TINY GIRL BURGLAR,

Conresses IN Court to Over Fifty
Robberies.
New York, July The story of a
tiny girl burglar was revealed in po-
lice court when Annie Wilson, aged
nine years, was arraigned on a charge
of grand larceny. Apparently unaware
of the seriousness of the crimes the
child told of how she successfully
committed over fifty burglaries and
she identified every article of the
stolen goods, which filled two boxes.
She said she was taught to steal by
her elders, but woman who was held
on suspicion denies the charge. The
child said she had learned how to
climb through rear windows and ran
sack homes and that she carried away
her spoils in little gocart in which
she placed freddy bear" to conceal
the stolen property.
