Anti-G Gambling Law Upheld.

HELENA, Feb. Is. - The constitu-
tionality of the gambling law passed
by the last legislature was upheld
today by the supreme court in de-
Gliding an appeal on the Yellowstone
county suit of the State vs.. John
Ross.
Two separate prosecutions were in
stituted against Ross for two distinct
violations of the act. Ross was con-
victed. in both instances and sentenced
to pay a fine of 1000. Both cases
were carried to the supreme court,
and in his appeal the defendant at
tackled the constitutionality OF the
law.
Judge Holloway rendered the opin.
ion in both cases and in both affirming
the Judgment of the lower court and
sustaining the constitutionality of the
law.
Several other decisions we're handed
down by the court, the most important
of which was the opinion affirming the
lower court in the famous Nord ahl
murder case in Fergus county, which
was q of the most heinous murder
cases in Montana criminal annals.
Norda hl vas charged with the MUIR
der of a whole family in Fergus coun-
ty. He was a rancher in the Mussel.
shell.
Over a year ago the Shutter family,
consisting of the mother, Bertha
Shutter and four children, who lived
on a ranch ia that vicinity. we're
found in the burned ruins of their
homestead, which had been fired dur
ing the night while they slept. The
crime was traced to Nordahl, though
by purely circumstautial evidence.
He was finally convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to life
imprisonment.
He appealed, but the opinion rem.
dered today by Justice Smith, denies
him a new trial and sustains the iudg-
ment.

working days remain, and in this
short period the legislature must con.

The steering committee appointed

will depend upon these engineers, who

RED CROSS STAMPS
ON SALE IN WEEK

The splendid address by DR.. Hobby at
the annual meeting of the Men s
League of Central Union church on
Monday evening has enlisted hundreds
of citizens in the campaign against
tuberculosis. A meeting will soon be
held of all the delegates appointed by
the various societies invited by the
Hawaiian branch of the Red Cross to
cooperate in the movement. At this
gathering Judge Dole will preside. The
outcome of this conference will be, it
is anticipated, an organization that will
so systematic the various lines of
work that there can not possibly be
any duplication of effort.
Already there has been wide inquiry
for the Red Cross stamp. This will be
on the market in about a week now.
The sale, to be conducted by the ladies
of the committee of one hundred, will
continue perhaps four days. After that
the stamps may be obtained at places
that will be advertised. All of the
money realized will be devoted to the
relief of victims of tuberculosis here.
In the general movement against
tuberculosis the board of health will be
in line and at the meeting on Monday
evening Mr.. Babbitt more than in
timated that the department of educa-
ton would do its share.

4 MISS IS AS
GOOD As A MILE
And Cupid Missed the Mauna
Kea by Only Two
Minutes.

Delegate Kuhio did not leave for Ha-
waii yesterday noon as he expected, to
make a tour of the island and show
himself to the people. He missed the
boat-missed it by only two minutes,
but in that case two minutes was as
good as a mile.
However, the delegate has not aban-
doned his plan of visiting the Big Is
land and making a trip around it to talk
to the voters. He is personally not at
all anxious to make the trip, which
he knows will be tiresome one, but
he realizes that the people of Hawaii
want to see him and that it is up to
him, in the interests of his party, to
make them visit. 1t is probable that
he will 60 up either later in the week
or by the next Mauna Kea. In that
case, he will not be able to leave for
Washington before December Is.
However, Governor Frear will be on
the ground and can look after the in
terests of Hawaii if anything comes up
before congress that affects this Terri
tory. In case he does not leave before
the 18th, the delegate will not reach
Washington until after the Christmas
recess.
The committees on territories will
probably hold some session before that
time. however, and some of the dele
gate friends are urging him to cut out
the Hawaii trip and leaves for Wash
ington on the next boat.

CLARK ADAMS.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 10
Miss Augusta Helen Clark and Archi-
bald W. Adams, both of Honolulu, were
married yesterday morning at Grace
chapel, following a journey of more
than 1900 miles to escape curious
friends. Mr.. and Mrs Adams would
have welded in Honolulu, but they
dreaded the rice showers of their friends
in the Islands. They decided to come
to the United States to have the
marital knot tied and en- route met
Bishop S. C. Partridge, who was fell
low passenger on the China.
AT the marriage yesterday Mrs.
Partridge gave away Miss Clark and
Bishop Partridge was there to see that
the ceremony was properly performed.
The master of the steamship China and
other officers of the vessel were present
at the wedding
Adams is a prominent business man
of Honolulu and Miss Clark is one of
the society bellies of the Hawaiian Is
lands. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams will leave
today for trip through Mexico and
within a few weeks will return to make
their home in San Francisco.
