Fully 500 men students, representing
every element of the campus COM

G. Shelton, '0S, well known debater.
The program was varied and included
boxing, wrestling, fencing and GYM
nastic stunts, intermingled with clever
individual songs and varsity roofing.

present for a short time and spoke to
the assembled undergraduates. He de-
clared himself in favor of the gather
ing and stated that he hoped it would
be possible for the faculty to take part

ing courses.
The engineers will probably put out

NOT ILLEGAL TO SHAKE.
Jerome Is Exonerated From the
Charge of Gambling.

Albany. - T., Aug. 25.-In his report
just submitted to Governor Hughes,
Richard L. Hand, who was appointed
by the governor to take testimony on
the charges filed against District At
torney William T. Jerome, of New
York. discusses at some length the
question OF gambling. In his findings
exonerating Jerome, Commissioner
Hand goes into the allegation that the
district attorney and three others
shook dice in a restaurant in New
York, which was licensed under the So
called Raines law FOR the drinks" and
also for a dollar q shake.
: As to the act of the district attorney
and his companions, says the report in
part at Is sufficient to say that il was
not a crime. By the common law 1t
was SO far legal that the wager could
be recovered In the courts by the win
ner and II is not criminal by the law
Of this state today. Other acts in con-
nection with such gaming are made
criminal by various statutes, but the
other acts and the connection are
necessary to criminality and these
must be shown in strict conformity to
the particular statute applicable.
Although the act was not criminal,
permitting it is a crime on the part of
the person. licensed and ii Is also made
the duty of the district attorney, hay-
ing knowledge of such criminality to
act officially for the enforcement Of the
law and punishment of the offender.
There is no evidence that the pro-
prietor or icensee or any person re-
sponsible In the premises knew or had
any reason to believe that the act was
committed at the time, nor is it al
legged In the charge and my opinion is
to hold the proprietor criminally liable
for suffering or permitting gambling
on his premises because, without his
knowledge four men shook dice a few
times for dollar throw while at
luncheon would be most absurd per-
version Of the object of the law. and
straining of its language. AS to the
throwing of dice for the drinks it is
still less within the meaning of the
statute"
