ORAL BETS NO
BREACH Of

y YORK DECISION
FAV0RS RACING MEN
Gambling Must Be Accompan-
led by Registration or the
Use of ParaphernaIia to Con-
stitute a Crime, Says Court,

/
Albany, n, Y Nov. S.--Retting is
crime only when accompanied by a
record registry or the use of some
part of the paraphernalia of profess
sional gamblers. according to de-
eision handed down by the court of
appeals,
In effect the decision holds that
| oral betting does not constitute book
making in violation of the law.
In holding that the laying of odds
alone does not constitute crime,
Judge Halght said:
e'If Il man should offer to bet the
| ladies of his party pair of gloves
to box of candy. II would be the
laying of odds and publishing the
same. To hold him a bookmnker.
would. in my judgment, be depar-
ture 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 contemplation OF the legislature"
Judge Cullen In his opinion says
Legislation should be practical and
II Is at least doubtful whether stat
ute making every offer. or acceptance
Of bet, or wager, a crime. could in
the present state of morals, and the
habits of the community, be enforced,
while the statute makes all bets
and wagers void and money lost
thereon recoverable. II has made gam
bling crime only whore 1t Is accom-
panied by record. registration or the
use of some part of the paraphcrnaia
Of professional gamblers, except in
the case of pool selling, where prob
ably no written record Is necessary to
constitute the crime.
while In reality the statute Is di-
rectcd against gambling. not against
its Incidents, the law has laid hold Of
certain Incidents on the theory that
those being prohibited the evil tself
would be suppressed because Of the
impractcnblity of carrying ON gam
bling ON large scale without some
of the accessories denounced by the
statute.
"How far this plan has proved sue
cessful in operation, Is for the legis-
laturc. not the court to determine,
ana we ca 1not hold that the aim OF
these men constitutes n crime unless
It falls within the terms of the statute
Whether the Han adopted To suppress
the evil is an g ficacious one, Is solely
for the legislature
In dissent ing opinion, Judge Nann
says:
"The constitution forbids bookmak-
ing without defining 1t and the stat
ute forbids engaging in 1t without de-
filming IL. In vew of the explicit COM
mand Of the constitution ana the
history of Legislation on the subject
as well as the origin Of the word
and Its meaning In the
country from which We borrowed 1t,
think the statute prohibits engaging
in bookmakng with or without the
aid of any writing, because, writing Is
not of the substance and need not be
resorted to, is mere incident.
Engaging in the business OF pubic
gambling by quoting and laying in
sidlous odds to a multitude of people,
was the evil aimed at, not the max
ing of n record of the business which
Is comparatively innocent"

This action was taken simultaneously over the system. There are S6 trick men employed by the National lines Of Mexico besides the chief dispatchers, and the resignations of the men, it is declared, will tie up the entire railroad business of the republic.
 The consequences of such action by the dispatchers will be far reaching Ni its ef- fects, as 1t was stated in this city tonight by railroad men that if the dispatchers went out the conductors and engineers will refuse to receive orders from new set of dispatchers. Great interest Is taken in the affair here and railroaders arc watching the result with much feeling.

The Modern Way Is To Long Distance Telephon'

The Long Distance Bell Tele- phone is playing an important part in revolutionizing modern business methods. It is used con- stantly between near and distant points for business and social pur- poses, and the Bell System is so extensive and so well maintained that a business transaction by Long Distance Telephone is cheaper, more satisfactory and is accomplished in less time than by any other method. The Bell sys- tenn reaches all important points in Alabama, and the south and throughout the country. Modern business men, as rule, are inter- ested more in results than in the means by which they are secured. When a business man in Birming- ham tells "Eong Distance" that he wishes to speak to a particular party in New York, he assumes. as matter of course, and very rightly, that the party will be on the line in very short while.
 This accomplishment, however simple it may appear, involves d large force of efficient employees and utilizes an enormous eouip- ment investment. It is only pos sible through the organization of the Bell System working in abso- lute harmony, to furnish a con- prehensive telephone service. Each Bell Telephone, whether in office or residence, is a part of this system, and any Bell Tele- phone subscriber can sit in his home or office and talk to a party at a Bell Telephone in any city far or near. This is convenience which no other agency affords.
 The points shown on the ac- companying map are only few of those in constant teleplonic communication with Birlninr- ham. The rates are for a three minute talk. There is charge for each additional minute, and all rates are subject to change with out notice To secure other rates, call "Long Distance.

WITNESSES CALLED
 IN SUTTON CASE

Annapolis, Md, July 14.-Summonses to James N Sutton, U s. M C., whose death here two years ago is about to be re- investigated by the naval authorities, were served today upon William Owens and Edward Griffiths, the chauffeurs who saw the beginning of the fight between the officefs, which ended in Sutton's death. Owens was not called 70 testify at the previous inquest.
 The story of the surviving officers that Sutton forced the fight has been contra dicted by Owens.
 Griffiths, who, at the time of Lieutenant Suttons death was, like Owens, a chauf- feur, will, it is said, testify that he took party of marine officers, including Li-y- tenant Potts, to the camp just before the party in Owens automobile arrived, and that as he went back toward town he saw Leutenants Sutton and Adams with their coats off and apparently about to fight, but that he neither saw nor hea9s anything that would indicate which had provoked the fight nor that the others in the party were trying to prevent hos tilities. s...-.+
 Today added color was given to the theory that Mrs, Sutton, the mother of the dead lieutenant in her complaint to the navy department, had charged Lieu tenant Adams with being responsible for the death of her son, when it became known that the navy department has granted to Lieutenant Adams the privi- lege of being represented by counsel be- fore the Investigating board

Miss Stewart Talks,

New York. July 14-From an isolated summer resort, Stoney Brae. Muskoka Lake, Ontario, there came to New York, in special dispatches tonight, an inter view with Miss Mary E. Stewart of Pittsburg, the 21-year-old girl who was with Lieut. James N. Sutton not long before he met his death at Annapolis Miss Stewart said she was sure young Sutton was not killed in quarrel over her. She was equally emphatic in deny ing any knowledge of the circumstances which preceded hls death.
 "The whole thing is.' she said, "I hap pened to meet Lieutenant Sutton and was out with him three or four times and then most unfortunately he died sud, denly. His death was unfortunate for me, too, for if 1t had not occurred my name would not have been spread all over the country.'
