In MemOriam

In sad and loving remembrance OF our
dear mother. Lizzie L. Rose, who
departed this life January 2, 1905
When we saw our precious loved one
Whom we tended with such care,
Slowly fading from our presence,
How our aching hearts despaired;
She will never be forgotten,
Never shall her memory fade,
Sweet thoughts shall ever linger
Round the grave where she is laid
Sadly missed. By her children.

quently charged that the Office OF
State Auditor was a wholly useless one.
We should say that depends" II it
means only a periunctory visit to the
various Offices of State and County, IT
is only another superfluous salaried
official to the great array which al
ready burdens the tax payer. But II
the Auditor audits, he should be a
really useful official, and one not to be
lightly dispensed with. The honest
man wants some one TO audit his ac-
counts the dishonest man ought to
have some one audit them. The State,
that is, the people of the State, are
entitled to know how capably and con-
scientiously public officials are handl-
ing public funds. We hope the Audi
tors work will bear fruit. The best
way to stihe graft amongst public Of
fcials, and the best way to silence the
peoples supicions in such matters, is
TO have a fearless and honest Audi
tor, who is entitled to an examination
OF all accounts in public Offices, and
who can be trusted to make his find
ings public, without personal or poll
teal favor. We should say the Office
which Mr. Ash holds affords him an
exceptional opportunity to be OF pecu..
iiarly valuable service 10 the people, II
he chooses to measure up to that OPP
portunity. That Office holds the key to
the situation.

New York Court Legazes Oral Betting Decision Pleases the
Turfmen Will Thompson Against Packey
COURT DECIDES ORAL
BETTING Is NO CRIME
New York Appellate Tribunal Orders the
Discharge of Indicted Book Makers

ALBANY. n. Y. Nov. 9.-Betting is
a crime only when accompanied by a
record, registry or the use of some
part of the paraphernalia of profess
sional gamblers. according to decision
handed down today by the court of
appeals.
In effect the decision holds that oral
betting does not constitute book max
ing in violation of the anti-racetrack
gambling law. The court aff1rms the
order of the lower courts for the dis
charge from custody of Orlando Jones
and Sol Lichtenstein, who were indicted
in Kings county on a charge of book
making.
In holding that the laying of odds
alone does not constitute a crime, Judge
Haight said:
IF a man should offer to bet the
ladies of his party pair of gloves or
a box of candy, il would be the laying
of odds and publishing the same To
hold him to be book maker would,
in my Judgment. be a departure from
the rule that gives to the terms of the
statute their ordinary and accepted
meaning, and would be a construction
which was not within the contempla-
tion of the legislature"
Chief Judge Cullen in his opinion
says:
Legislation should be practical, and
il is at least doubtful whether statute
ma king every offer or acceptance of a
bet or wager a crime could. in the
present state of morals and habits of
the community, be enforced.
while in reality the statute is di-
The San Francisco call., 1909-11-10

rected against gambling, not against
its incidents. the law has laid hold OF
certain incidents on the theory that
those being prohibited the evil itself
would be suppressed because of the
Impractical bility of carrying on gam
bling on a large scale without some
of the accessories denounced by the
statute.
How far this plan has proved sue
cessful in operation is for the legisla-
ture-not the court-to determine, and
we can not hold that the aim of these
men constitutes a crime unless 1t falls
within the terms of the statute"
In a dissenting opinion, Judge Vann
says:
THE constitution forbids book MAX
ing without defining 1T, and the statute
forbids engaging in it without de-
fining it. In view of the explicit
command of the constitution and
the history of legislation on the
subject. as well as the origin of the
word book making and its meaning in
it. l think the statute prohibits en-
gaging in book making with or with
out the aid of any writing, because
writing is not of the substance and
need not be resorted to, and, if resorted
to- is mere incident.
Engaging in the business of public
gambling by quoting and laying in
sidious odds to a multitude of people
was the evil aimed at, not the making
of record of the business, which is
comparatively innocent"

Todd Elected Captain Of
Oakland High Team

OAKLAND, Nov. 9.-The members of
Oakland high schools champion track
team met this afternoon and unani-
monsly elected Jimmie Todd to the cap
taincy of the team for the coming
spring semester.
Todd's running this term has been
a revelation to all followers of track
athletics. and all his friends predict for
him a greater success during next
spring than he has ever enjoyed before.
In all probability Todd will represent
the school in the 220 and 440 yard
dashes and the relay, as he did in such
a worthy fashion this fall.
Next spring the big Stanford meet
comes off and every effort will be made
to bring the victoEy to Oakland high,
as only one more win will secure abb
solutely as the property of the school
several of the valuable trophies.
This term will see but few losses
in the ranks Of the track team. Former
Captain Mike" Smith, former Captain
Maclise. Grey, Heisen, Millette, Sar-
gent Maker, Calderwood, Morgans and
Bangs win all be back on the team
next spring. and with strong squad
like that in the field it can plainly be
seen how Oakland high school figures

days held throughout the spring Sc

Sacred Heart
Looks Best in
Light Glasses
Athletes Interested in Safur-
days Me-f on ST. Mary'S
Stadium
By WILL SCARLET

The dual meet TO take place in St
Marys college stadium Saturday be-
tween the academic classes of st.
Marys and Sacred Heart has aroused
great interest on both sides of the bay.
Both colleges are powers in the local
athletic world and this will be the first
time that their preparatory classes
ever took each others measure on the
track.
Special interest attaches to the 100
yard dash in which French, the Sacred
Heart crack sprinter will run against
De Benedetti of st. Marys. Both
contestants are in the 140 pound class
and may be relied upon to put up q
classy quality of sprinting.
While the official entry list is not
yet made public, it is evident that a
large number of students of both col
and a half events. In the distance runs
the sister colleges are very evenly
matched.
By the looks of things the Oakland
institution has slightly the better of
il in the field events, form of athletics
in which the Sacred Heart boys have
thus far manifested but little interest.
St. Mary's relies upon Armstrong to
win the high jump and expects to be
heard from in the shot put and hammer
throw
The Sacred Heart lads expect to
have things pretty much their own
way in the 100 pound events. They
have some plucky and experienced lit
tie sprinteEs in this class who have
on numerous occasions demonstrated
their ability as track athletes. st.
MaFy's is notably shy on lightweight
sprinters.
The meet will start in St Mary's
stadium al 1870 Saturday. The hour
is so arranged that persons taking in
the meet may be in time for the big
football game later in the afternoon.
Otto Rittler, instructor in physical cul-
ture at st. Marys college, is chairman
of the committee of arrangements.
