WOMEN GAN N0I PLAY F0R
 ANY PRIZES
Club Card Playing Under the Ban. But Games in Private Homes Are Not Unlawful Under New Law

Women playing cards for prizc at clubhouse are as much amenablo to the anti-gambling act as men play, ing poker in . club for money CT drinks
 This is the opinion os District At. , :orney Williams, which he expressed in an interview last night.
 Ever since the law was put In effect here there has been speculation as to the construction that the district at. torney wond place upon this phase. Last nights interview enectually dis pells all doubts whatever. He will act up to tho letter of the law and see that it is enforced regardless of per sons or conditions in life.
 win this sweeping law be applIca. ble to card playing in incorporated clubsT'
 "Assuredly it will" replied he. If. however, you or any other man or woman chooses to invite a party oi your friends to gather at your house to play cards for a prize, neither the guests or yoursel can be touched so long as there is no personal loss for them involved. They might play stud poker for prize If they so wished.
 Rallies, whether for a church, lodge or For private benefit, will come under the law. and those engaging in or promoting them will be as amen able to the law as if they were playing poker Pool games. bowling. golf, lawn tennis, or any other game Of skill in which payment of a certain fee fer playing is involved can be con sidered gambling unless each partici- pant bears their portion of the ex- pense of the games. That is ny opinion. Say for instance that two men are playing golf and the cost is % cents round the course. the only way they can evade the letter of the law Is to divide the cost evenly.
 If a cup or other trophy is offered for a contest Ch skill, we will say a billiard game or bowling contest, so long as no entrance fee Is demanded, and the element of chance of personal loss is kepi out. cannot see how it could be construed as gambling Say however, that you offer a trophy your self and then enter the competition for it. there .s an element of personal loss, and you are liable under the law. IF game of golf is to be played for trophy and your entrance fee is used to defray the cost of the trophy for the match. that would be gambling under the. statute strictly construed.
 That is the opinion hold Of the law. It may be that l am wrong Va -ious courts throughout the country place different construction upon what constitutes gambling It is rrobable that the law wln be tested soon"

DANGERS OF

 If your baby hes cold don't say i: =i;..,, weaT otf,' and let it 20 at that. if vo,,r c.ildren have the snufies. or sore throats or vatery eyes, don't hesitate to take them from school for day or two 50 that you n,av break up the colds they have.
 Every parent can add to the healthy com ditions of the city and to his or her own peaee of mind by guarding against any and every kind Of q cold.
 Generally the child doesn't know it caught cold. 1t may be impossible to prevent 1t from exposing its sensitive body to those dangers which older persons shun. But the chances of contisesing colds can be easily diminished by a litile care and foresight.
 If the children getcolds don t waste any time.
 Don't irine with cold"
 This warning, coming from So prominent an official and one whose position enables him to know the real danger, should be needed by al. The lives of many children are sacrificed each year by negiecting the colds which they take. others contract chroni, catarrh from which they never fully recover
 lt would be uawisc for the health com. missioner of a city to recommend any remedy or treatment for Q disease, but should he do so Chamberlaiu's Cough Remedy would eer- tainiy head the lis. as the most efficaeions for colds, croup and whooping cough in children, and the one remedy that analwavs be depended upon te effect speedy cure and that is pleasant and snie to take.

GUILTY OF MANsLAUeHTER
Plea Made in Boston Court by Hiram
M. Perry Formerly of BordoviIIe

Hiram NJ. Perry formerly a resident
of Bordoville Seventh Day Adventist
settlement in the town of Enosburg in
dicted for murder, pleaded guilty in a
Boston court Thursday to manslaugh-
ter in causing the death of Catherine
McDougall, February "a, at II Cherry
street in that city. and was sentenced
to state prison for term of five to
ten years by Judge Sanderson in the
superior criminal court.
The defendant is in a pitiable CON
dition. He was helped into court by
officers. He went on the witness
stand and told the Judge what he re-
membered of his relations with the
woman whom he killed. He had no
memory of killing her. He had in
tended to kill himself. she, too, con-
templated suicide. They had talked
suicide, both having thought they
would be better off dead. He told his
story in voice that could hardly be
heard ten feet away.
James II. Valley told the court the
mans relatives in East Fairfield, Vt,
had deserted aim. He had worked all
his life for them, but they refused to
come to his aid though he was charg-
ed with murder.
He left Vermont in July. He had
saved $3.50. When he came to Bos-
ton he met man and woman. He be-
came friendly with them. AT their
home he lost his roll. With $17 he
started up in the coal business. He
obtained room at the house of Bert
and Ellen Fleming. Both told the
court the defendant was a quiet man.
They had noticed that ne acted
strangely He drank heavily as a re-
suit of losing his money.
He first met Catherine McDougall
in the street and saw her frequently
at her room. She wanted him to
drink carbolic acid one night but he
refused. Later he bought the reyol-
yer to snoot himself The night of
the tragedy both were drinking heav
lily.
DR.. Jelly in his report said the de-
PENDANT was not insane but his mind
was not normal. Mr. Valley urged the
court to deal leniently with the accus-
ed as he did not think he had long TO
live.
Chief Inspector Dugan declared that
Perry's story was true; that he had
no intention of numbering the woman

WHOLESALE LICENSE FEES
Amount is Double That of Last
Year


Year
Montpelier. June 1.-the Hon Guy
w. Bailey, secretary of state, has re-
mitted to Treasurer Deavitt the
amount of fees collected for wholesale
liquor licenses up to June s. The to-
tai amount received has been s10,452
as against $3.50 received last year.
The reason for this increase is due to
special legislation in the last session
that makes effective laws relating to
wholesale licenses previously enacted.
The statute in question renders a re-
tail dealer subject to the forfeiture of
his license in case he offers for sale
any liquor that has not been duly ac-
cepted under analysis by the state
chemist
According to previous legislation, a
wholesaler, in order 10 enter the Yer
mont retail market, must pay fee of
$500 for license to sell, besides CIV
Ing the statutory bond of $4,000. The
combination of these previous laws
and the law if 1908, in practice, forces
Ihe wholesaler to do this as no retailer
woulu rade to take the risk of hand
ing the other goods unless all the re-
qulremehts for a Wholesale license
mas been fulfilled
An examination of the list of whole
! salers' and other brands OF liouors
submitted for chemical ANALYSIS Shove
that number of brands heretofora
more or less generally on sale in Yer.
mont cannot be handled this year. as
the wholesalers have not fulfilled their
license requirements. 1t should NOT
be concluded from this fact however
That the quality of liquors on sale this
year in many degrees deteriorated. as
nothing can be offered for sale legally
that has not run the gauntlet of the
state laboratory.
During the more or less Immediate
past rumor has been rife that the
wholesale liquor business in Vermont
would be controlled by a combination
OF dealers in n way possibly affecting
the freedom of competition in this
field. While absolute evidence that
such is not the case does not appear.
there is no good reason to suppose
| from anything that has transpired dur.
ing the period of licensing these deal.
ers that such a combination exists.
