SAYS SALES OF TIPS

CITY LAW AGAINST GIVING
SPEED FACTS HELD VALID
SAILS Discharge from Arrest for Dis
seminating Information on Race
Track Horses Leads to
Case Decided

That the city ordinance making it
unlawful for any person to publish,
distribute, sell or give away tips on
horse races is constitutional, is the
opinion of Judge w. II. Jamison of
the superior court, to whom was APP
Sylvester Saal, arrested in June on a
charge of disseminating information
regarding the form and condition of
horses at Emeryville.
Following SAILS arrest q demurrer
to the complaint was sustained by
Police Justice Chambers and Saal was
discharged. An appeal was taken by
the city.
In giving his opinion. Judge Jamison
says the ordinance manifestly was
passed in the exercise of the police
power given to the city of Los An
geles by the state, constitution, and
that the police power of the munich
pality in the absence of any general
law on the subject is as broad as that
of the Legislature itself.
Gambling Is Demoralizing
eft is well settled" says the court
'that gambling in all the various
modes in which it is practieed is de-
moralizing in it's tendencies and an
evil which the law rightfully may sup
press without interfering with any of
those inherent rights of citizenship
which it is the OBJECT or the govern
ment to protect and secure.
pursuant to this policy, it is held
In this state that municipal ordi-
nance prohibiting the selling of pools
on horse races or holding money or
anything as a stake upon any wager
as to the result of such race is clearly
a police regulation, such as munich
paiity is authorized to make and
enforce within it's limits"
Tn, the GaaI ease. saws Judge .Jan11-
son. the ordinance does not conflict
with any general law passed by the
legislature.
An appeal to the highest courts, it Is
believed, will be taken by Saal's at

No heirs to the estate of Mrs. Ma
tilda Walden, who died in August, have
been found, and Judge Rives granted
letters of administration to Frank Bry-
son, public administrator.
Mrs. Walden's property was valued
at about 100000 at the time of her
death, the greatest interest being real
estate with "a 40-foot frontage on Nam
street, at the corner of First.
After her death a search, extending
through many states and reaching into
England and Scotland, where she once
lived, was made by the public admins
traitor and the British vice consul to
find possible heirs, but the efforts were
futile. Unless an heir presents himself
or herself within year the property
will be sold and the proceeds turned
over to the state school fund.
