COURT RULES AGAINST
B0OKMAK|NG AT FAIR
Refuses Application of Mont
gomery County Agricultural
Society to Sell Pools.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special DiSDatch TO The star.
ROCKVILLE. Md. August 9.-What, it
is believed, will prove the death knell Of
bookmaking in Montgomery county, and
eventually throughout Maryland, was
sounded in the circuit court here today,
when Chief Judge Urner and Associate
Judges Henderson and Motter, compris-
ing 4 full bench. unanimously denied the
application Of the Montgomery County
Agricultural Society for a license to sell
pools at the approaching county fair.
Should the case be taken to the court
Of appeals. as seems probable, and the
decision of the circuit court here be af-
frmed. 1t would. 1T is thought, mean the
end of bookmaking throughout the state
and place Maryland in the same category
as New York state and the District Of
Columbia. SO far as betting is concerned
Robert b. Peter, who represented the
agricultural society, would not state
whether or not the case would be an
pealed, but as he laid the proper foun:
dation. during the trial. 1t is thought that
such course Is likely.
Frederick Fair May Be Affected.
The decision, it is said, means that NOT
only will there be no betting on the. races
at the Rockville fair this summer, but
that there will be an absence of such
sport at the Frederick fair this fall. as
the same court will have to pass upon the
application OF the Frederick county sol
ciety for bookmaking permit. :.
1t was contended by the Agricultural
Society that under an act OF the iegisia-
ture Of ls's it Vas mandatofy, upon the
circuit court to grant a license, provided
certain preliminaries had been compiled
with, namely, the Ming and 5pubfcation
OF an application signed, by twenty. .-nve
reputable voters. = ~ rr,,s.. =, II. :.
The court decided that the act was un-
constitutional. as it imposed. on, the court

had anything to say on the subject. ~:
Roger B. Farquhar. president of the
county school, board, told the court that
the school charged with the moral as we'll
as the intellectual training of the youth
or the county, taught that gambling was
wrong, and that when, at the county
fair, lega!lzed gambling was Carried on
the enect OF this teaching was nulIffied.

against book making. \ q ~

Difficult to Man Ships.

Another serious interruption has oc-
CURED in the commerce between New
Orleans and BlueieIds. due to difilcuity
in manning Norwegian ships that ply
between those ports. Information TO that
effect was received at the State Depart
ment today, through a telegram from,
the Bluehelds Steamship Company.
The company stated that the captain
the Norwegian government has instruct
ed its consular officers at New Orleans
that the seamen on the company's steam
ers are free to leave the steamers. "since
they are going to blockaded port,
Bluefields''
This action seems to Indicate that the
Norwegian government persists In Its
recognition Of the blockade Of Bluefields
despite the Official declaration Of the
United States that Blueleids Is an "oper
port"
The department Is Informed that the
Bluefelds Steamship Company is finding
considerable difficulty. in keeping the
crews Of the ships making the run tc
Bluefelds. These ships fly the Norwegian
dag and their crews are subject to the
navigation laws of Norway.
So far as known the State Department,
will take no further action in the matter
standing on it's pledge to protect Ameri
can lives and property under all condi-
tions.
Depredations Upon Americans.
Consular Agent de Savigny, at Mata

Consul Olivarez, at Managua, has made
a formal protest to Madriz. and repeated
the ultimatum Of this government that
both factions in Nicaragua will be held
strictly to account for the protection OF
Americans and property in the territory
under their de facto control
The reports Of Consul Olivarez to the
State Department would seem to indicate
that the situation in Nicaragua is pre-
carious. Monetary exchange has risen to
1920 per cent.

Society Expects Announcement.

Washington society probably will not be
much surprised at the statement of Sem
ator Elkins in New York relative to the
reported engagement of his daughter.
Miss Katherine Elkins, and the Duke of
the Abruzzi. But even though the West
Virginia senator serves official notice on
the public that there is no 5ustificati for
the announcement that shortly the house
of Savoy is to raise its ban on Miss Elkins
and allow its scion to wed the American
heiress, still society is waiting confidently
to hear the formal announcement 1t may
be in a short time, SO believe those who
ought to know. and then again it may be
months before it comes.

ers are all united in a gigantic crusade
against tuberculosis which is about to
be started under the direction of the
National Association for the Study

addition to the gifts of free space on

hundred paper manufacturers have
given paper for the posters to the
value of several thousand dollars, and
artists from all over the United States
are contributing sketches for posters,

The posters are nine feet long and

with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks l took him

rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch aud we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a

three months. But / found a remedy

main dish of a meal.
Cream soups may serve as the
