CONVICTION UNDER
THE GAMBLING LAW

The first conviction under the
new gambling law in the state of
Nevada was secured in Nye
county last night in Judge Averill's
court. when the state of Nevada
VS.. Gao PistinaDt returned a
verdict Of guilty as charged.
On the 20th of last December
two boys, John Deal and Bert
Dougnitt. held up a poker game
IN Rhy olite. The buys were ar
rested and confessed to the hold
up. When the grand jury took
the holdup case under advisement
they brought a minor charge
against the boys and indicted
Pistinat for owning a house and
all wing gambling to he con-
Quoted therein .... 3.
Attorney Mcintosh represented
the defendant in court and made
his main defense on the grounds
that Pistinat was asleep At the
time the game was going on. The
hest witness for the prosecution
was woman, a member of the
redlight district. She testified
that she saw m oney in front of
each player and that Pistinat
served drinks at the game.
The case attracted very little
attention. as it was the common
belief around town that a con-
viction would not be secured. The
verdict of the jury came as a COM
plete surprise and has been the
chief topic o conversation alb out
the streets today. The jury was
m ade up of the following citizens.
Jack Book. foreman; joni Hawkes.,
Mortimer Smith, Tomas f. Prout,
Martin Kennedy, Ed Arndell. John
M. Troy, Christoper Barry, w. H.
Nutto. GeorgeBrissel, S. Fox and
w. T. Summerville.
The penalty for conviction
under the new gambling law is
from one to five years in the
penitentiary without the alter
native Of a fine. 1t is believed that
the case will be appealed. The
outcome of this case will be If
interest over the entire state of
Nevada, as it will have a bearing
on poker games.
In the northern end of the state
there have been several arr ests
made TO, indulging in the national
pastime of playing poker, hut a
conviction was never secured.-

REVISED STATEHOOD BILL
INTRODUCED IN HOUSE

Washington, d. c., May ia re-
vised bill for the admission of Ari-
zona and New Mexico as states was
presented to the house yesterday by
Chairman Flood of the committee on
territories. AS anticipated the new
bill provides that New Mexico shall
be admitted Immediately on condition
thst the people shall vote on an
amendment TO their constitution max
ing that instrument easier of amend
ment in the future. Arizona likewise
is to be admitted at once providing
the people shall vote on a proposition
to strike out of the constitution the
recall of judges.
A report accompanying the bill de-
clares that under the New Mexico con-
stitution as it now exists it would be
almost impossible to amend the instru-
ment for twenty-five years The pro-
posal to strike out the Judiciary recall
in Arizona is based principally on OBJ
jections urged by President Taft. In
both instances, however, the voters of
the territories are given the privilege
of finally deciding the questions for
themselves. The bill will be called up
Tuesday and three days viii be allow
ed for debate.
The new bill was framed to meet
the views of those members of con-
.gress who were willing to admit the
territories as states, but who were
.averse to affirmatively approving their
constitutions as adopted.
The difficulty of amendment is held
to be the chief evil of the New Mexi-
can constitution, concerning which the
report says
Certain other provisions of the con-
stitution as framed and adopted are
very Objectionable and will, in their
operation be very oppressive to the
people of the new state, and it is claim
ed they were brought about at the in
stigation and in the interest of certain
large corporations and special inter
ests who it is claimed exerted large
influence in the framing of the pro-
posed constitution. The committee,
however. has not thought fit to under
take to correct such Objectionable fea-
lures because it did not feel that it
was in the province of congress to-
make a constitution for the proposed
state"

Fulsom was acting in his official ca

kill, but accidentally hit Stafford.
Chas. Riddles, accused of robbing

but they did not get enough evidence

Arms that held us close when our child

Lips that kissed the brine drops from

Eyes that watched our footsteps with
a fondness past belief.
This is the loving message that the
White Carnation speaks:
Fragrant is the memory rising at the
thought of you;
White as driven snow flakes is the
love your love inspires;
Needed now the lessons that in child
hood we were taught of you;
Breathe the incense rising from our
praise famed altar fires.
Ears that heard our wailing when all
others slumbered soundly:
Hands that toiled unendingly and feet
that never tired;
Heart that will be loyal though the
whole world hate us roundly;
Souls that gave though in return so
little you required,
This one paltry payment on the bound
less debt we owe you
Mother! look across the years and see
our simple token
In its snowy fragrance read that, tar
dily we know you;
Take from it the message that we lonG
since should have spoken.
