TRYING HOT SPRINGS
 GAMBLING CASES
The Proprietor of the Kentucky Club
 Faces Magistrate This Morning

Hot Springs. June 23.-The last case resulting from the sen: sational raid on the Kentucky Club. gambling resort, by Coro- nor J. P. Randolph and some citizens is set for trial today in the court of Magistrate McRob erts who freed all the other men, numbering II, arrested in the grmbling room. Proprietor Shannon of the Kentucky Club will appear before the magis- trate by his attorney, w. H. Martin, whose illness caused a postponement of Shannon's case.
 The report has enormously gone out from Hot Springs that the raid out of which the Shan. non case grew, was the first one in years in which any consider able amount of valua able phara- phernalia was destroyed. There have been at least two other no table raids within the past two years. The Palace Club was raided by Sheriff w. D. Sandlin, a reform advocated by Gov. John Ike Moore during the disqualiti- cation of Sheriff Bob" Williams through an indictment, and large amount of illegal furniture burned in the presence of hun dreds of people in front of the Arlington Hotel. The value of this gambling pharaphernalia was in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars.
 Sheriff Gus Buchanan raided the Ohio Club and burned some valuable furniture. There have been no raids of consequence since the advent of Sheriff Houpt, for whom the reform elem ent cast it's vote in the belief that he would urge d vigorous warfare upon the gamblers.
 Despite the expressed disgust of Coronor J. P. Randolph fol lowing his latest raid wherein he was jeered at and hindered by a crowd of hoodlums, it is now said by prominent mem bers of the reform organization that the coronor will be we'll sup ported by a posse from the Citi- zens Improvement Union upon

SUPREME COURT
 DECIDES CONTEST CASE
A Decision Handed Down In Controversy Growing Out of the News Popu.
 larity Contest.

The following is the decision handed down yesterday by the Supreme Court in the contest case in which Mrs. Lizzie Mcdaniel, of Boughton, was plaintiff and Messrs. Orner & Evans were defendants:
 The defendants own two news papers in Prescott and instituted a popularity contest" whereby prizes were to be. awarded to the successful contestants, a cer- tain number of votes being al lOtted to each cash subscriber. The contest was to close on a certain day, but a few days be- fore that time the proprietors of the newspapers announced that it would be prolonged for a per iod of 30 days.
 The plaintiff, Mrs. Mcdaniel, was one of the contestants, and the count of votes few days be- fore what would have been the close of the contest showed that she was far ahead of her nearest rival and she objected to the con test being prolonged. On the day the contest was to be closed according to the first announce ment, she filed this suit in equity to enjoin the newspaper men, who were defendants, from con- tinuing the contest and from a. war ding the prize to any other contestants. The chancellor sustained a demurrer to the complaint, and rendered de- cree dismissing the complaint for want of equity, from which the plaintiff appealed to this court.
 This court holds that if the plaintiff had any remedy at all it was complete at law, and she could not sue in equity. If, as she contends, the contest was to close at a certain time, and she had then received the high est number of votes her only remedy would be to sue at law to recover the prize or it's value.
 The fact that the defendants are insolvent, as alleged in the com plaint, does not aid the plain tiff, ,as she co uld only obtain a de- cree for the value of the proper ty either at law or in equity. Al firmed,

the faculty and Mr.. Horton are con-
sidering the advisability OF having sew
eral teams organized among the boys
for base ball and track athletics and
competitive meets, held at the play
grounds as soon as the weather war
rants. The girls will also be asked
to cooperate and 1t is probable that

SHORT REIGN.

Attorneys declare the present board
of police to be entirely without au-

ment and 1t became the duty of the
board to take action, 1t might be held
the board had no legal right to do so.
If a vacancy were to occur in the de-
partment and another man were need
ed. it is claimed that any appointment
the board might make would have to
take the chance OF being set aside.
The mayor explains his delay SIM
ply by saying he is waiting for certi-
fled copy of the act. 1t is held by at
torneys that it is not necessary that
he should receive copy before taking
some action toward protecting the po-
lice interests of the city.
Subject Of Comment.
The subject Of probable changes in
the department continues to be one
for general discussion and comment.
That there will be q shift of some
kind appears to be conceded. 1t is
pointed out. however, that very little
could be gained by changing the su-
perintendents and sergeants. A new
superintendent would serve for only
about eight months until another
change would be in order. With the
appointing power resting with the
mayor and a change in mayors to
take place at the close of this year.
any new superintendent would have
but brief experience in office unless
he should chance to be retained.
