SOCIETY AROUSED BY
ARAGAINS'T Whist
Police Say Games of Chance
Must Be Discontinued in
British Communities

LONDON. May 1.-THE news that the
number of whist drives to be discon-
tinued has spread dismay among that
large section of the public which every
week assemblies to compete for big
prizes
These whist drives are held all over
England, and at some of them as many
as 1000 people at a time compete for
bottles of scent.
A well. known barrister consulted as
to whether public whist drives as
whole were illegal, expressed consider
able doubt on the subject.
II should consider he said, that it
would be very hard to prosecute sue
cessfully the organizers of whist
drives under any of the existing stat
utes.
The provisions of the gaming act
1916 are to the effect that penalties
are incurred in cases where house or
other place is used for playing an un-
lawful game, or when the chances in
any game played therein are not equal
~ favorable to all the players.
ITO support the information is not
even necessary to prove that the per-
sons found on the premises are play
ing for money. The penalty is $500, in
addition to a penalty of $40 a day
"Of all card games, whist is least
likely to be held an unlawful game.
and not equally favorable to all the
players
''On the whole, I do not think whist
drive could be unlawful within the
statutes. provided it was properly con-
ducted; but it is quite possible that it
might be an offense at common law,
for to keep common gaming house is
a misdemeanor indictable as a common
nuisance. >.

DOYLE WOULD end
RELIGIOUS RANCOR
Champions Proposed Change in
Accession Declaration for
New British Monarch
| Special Gable 10 The Call

Special Gable 10 The Call
LONDON. May 14.-sir Arthur Conan
Doyle is a strong champion of the pro-
posal to strike from the accession
declaration the phrases offensive to
Catholics.
Is it not shocking he says, that
while Roman Catholic chapels through
for the dead monarch his successor
should be compelled by law to insult
the most intimate convictions of these
same mourners? And is it not the most
narrow, foolish policy, unworthy of this
should be forced to offend the feelings
Of great numbers of Irishmen, Cana
dians and other subjects2
Il feel sure that, apart from the
Catholics. the great majority of broad
minded thinkers of any or no denom-
ination of this country are of the opin-
ion that the outcry of fanatics should
be disregarded and all creeds receive
the same courteous, respectful treat
ment. So long as their adherents are
members of common empire, to bring
these medieval rancors to an end would
indeed be an auspiciaus opening of a
new reign.
Despite the fact that Doyle repre-
sents the dominant view, the opponents
of the Catholic church are feverishly
active in protesting against any altera-
tion of the accession declaration.
King George has placed the respon-
sibility for an amendment on the gov
ernment, and it will introduce a bill
without delay. But there is likely to
be stormy time and the kings per-
sonality is certain to be involved when
the discussion becomes heated.

HEREDITY MAKES
GOOD CLIMBERS
Desire to Ascend Peaks Is Born
in Human Beings

LONDON, May 14=Sir Martin Con-
way, explorer. mountaineer and au-
thor, was a guest of the Authors club
dinner recently, and in a speech dis
cussed the problem why people should
want to climb mountains
The problem. he said had never been
solved and never would be- The most
one could say was that in some per-
sons it was a hereditary instinct. He
took it that it was the desire to look
over on the other side that was the
great secret and compelling force which
induced people to climb mountains.
Among the Buddhists mountain
climbing was the chief element in OBJ
tanning sanctity. Buddhist saints de-
report that they had climbed such and
such mountain. Mountains had al
ways been regarded as the home of
peculiar creatures, such as demons,
fairies. gnomes or dragons. In the
Himalayas the belief was generally
spread abroad that on one big peak
there was palace of crystal inhab-
tied by royalties among the fairy folk.
On another. he was told, when the
clouds formed the fairies were cook
ing their bread. According to the in
habitants, a man once went up third
peak and when he returned had lost
his reason becausedhe fairies had taken
it away. They warned u.s. observ ed
the speaker, that If we went up much
farther the same thing would assuredly
happen to us, if it had not already
happened and was not the cause of our
coming"
Sir Martin described one of his ad-
ventures in the Bolivian Andes. Il was
'chivvied with considerable velocity
from one mountain which / had es-
sayed to climb with a theodolite and I
oil fn 70
I was pursued for 10 miles by the en-
ragged population of the neighboring
village, and if they had not been good
enough to throw stones. which hit my
mule, / should have come away in a
very different condition.

LONDON, May 14.-Americans arriv-
ing in London declare they never knew
the metropolis so dull and gloomy The
universal mourning gives a depressing
impression of dinginess heightened by
the wet, wild, wintry weather. Conse-
quently, after the funeral most of the
Americans will take wing to CONT

greatly by London's loss
The kings advisers are so alarmed
at the prospect that a special court or
der was issued limiting deep mourning
to June IL and half mourning to June
%. But the damage will have been
done by that time. The theaters and
music halls have reopened, but are
more than half empty. The people are
fleeing from town for Whitsuntide in
numbers greater than ever before, all
eager for a change from the gloomy
surroundings.
