NO CRIME TO BET GLOVES.
Nothing in Penal Code to Show Wager
is Unlawful, Says Judge.

New Millions of persons,
said Justice Gaynor, think that to
make bet is unlawful that if two la
dies bet a pair of gloves it is against
the law.
There is nothing in the penal code
from beginning TO end TO show that
if you and l make bet 1t is crime.
This obiter dictum was delivered in
the appellate division when the fam
Gus injunction controversy between
Justice Gaynor and Justice Dickey
came TO be argued The history of the
case is this:
One Langfelt, at Coney island, ask
ed Police Captain Langan there il
he could run plate game.
rs it gambling" asked Langan.
NO" said Langfelt.
Then go ahead" was the ruling.
The police, nevertheless, raided the
place and called the plate game
gambling. Langfelt was discharged.
He then obtained from Justice Scud-
der of the supreme court a temporary
order enjoining the police from inter
fering with him. Before Justice Dick
ey the case came for argument, and
Justice Dickey refused to continue the
Injunction. He said that the game
was gambling.
An appeal was taken to Justice Gay
nor, of the next higher court.
After hearing the manner in which
the plate game" was played Justice
Gaynor remarked that it was similar
to quoits or ring.toss aboard ship, OF

State Encampment Lies With
Conqress,

II bill now pending before Con-
gress providing for liberal appropria-
tion of money for state militia annual
encampments passes, the Arkansas Ma
tional Guard will hold its annual en-
campment the coming summer at Leon
Springs, Tex. Otherwise it is very
probable that the encampment will be
held at Fort Riley, Kan, where the
guard has been encamped once before
Adjutant General Paul Little Of the
Arkansas National Guard explained
that he was awaiting the outcome Of
the present appropriation bill now be
fore the Congress. If the bill passes,
the various state mlitias will be pro
vided with funds 10 hold encamp-
ments. and such an appropriation
would mean enough money for the Ar
kansas Guard TO allow it 10 go 10 Leon
Springs. Otherwise the encampment
will probably have to be held at Fort
Rifle as the expense in going there
would be much less.

Will Try 10 Reform.

Some of its readers having criticised
the London Law Notes for being too

Have our candid friends any idea
how dull the English law and lawyers
have grown lately? Rarely is there
any legal incident in this country with
driven to younger country where
lawyers. in common with the rest OF
the population, still retain some boy
ish instincts and are not too blase
with life to enjoy joke. However,
we will try to be less Yankee and
more British and stodgy for as long as
we and our other readers can stand
