one of the men threw over 81 and
the man running the game gave
him checks in return for the
money. There was then no ques.

3. R, COMMISSION
FILES BRIEF

After preparing an appeal to
the congressional representative of
Nevada in the United States
senate and in the lower house of
congress. on December IL, the Ne
vada railroad commission yesser-
day made public the text of its
communication. The railroad COM
mission has asked the congressman
and both senator's to further the
Signs bill for the abolition of the
commerce court with modifica.
ton suggested that there be no in
termediate step between the inter.
state commerce commission and the
supreme court of the United,
States. The commission further
foaskE that the law be framed to
re4aire such appeals to the sup,
RENE court to be given precedence
on the >calander over private civil
appeals
Coming as it does with Nevada
an interested party in litigation
now pending before the commerce
court, the supreme court and the
interstate commerce. commission,
the appeal is regarded as bold
stroke. 1t is regarded as express
sing the sentiment of the Nevada
commission that it has been baked
of relief in the Reno case through
the harmful intermeddling of the
newly created commerce court.
In the argument nf its appeal
the Nevada commission goes
extensively into the subject. Ii
does not question the honesty or
integrity of the commerce court
as at present constituted. hut il
does question the usefulness of The
body. 1t says that the commerce
court is constantly under tic
temptation to usurp the functions
Of the Interstate commerce COM
mission and that when it does not
do so it merely gives an unsatis-
factory decision on the law which
causes an inevitable appeal to tho
court of final resort.
In considering the plans of the
Sims bill to abolish the commerce
court, but to revive the appellate
jurisdiction of the federal court of
appeals, much the same objection
Is made. The commission says
that in most cases where the
federal courts have reversed the
interstate commerce commission
and the supreme court has finally
handled the matter, the interstate
commerce commission was sustain
ed and the federal court was
reversed after much time rs
useIcssly wasted.

party consumed the time of the
court after recess Wednesday
afternoon.
When court convened this fore
noon Attorney :. Dorsey resumed
tire argum' mt and Judge Curler
replied. At the conclusion of the
argmuent. Judge Taber denied the
motion and the defense entered an
exception.
The examination IF Sheriff
Harris was thea proceeded with.
he said that he saw a faro Layout,
chairs, stools and roulette wheel
IN the room. He described the
table on which the layout was
placed. That a check tray and
checks were on the table and that
the table had a drawe.. The draw
er was about half open and he saw
gold and silver money in it. The
drawer was at the right hand of
the dealer. He was shown a
diagram of the room and pointed
out the locations of the faro table
and roulette wheel. The room
was about 12X14 feet. Forgore
was in the Dealers chair and
johnson was in the lookout chair
when he entered the room. A
Chinaman was sitting at the table
opposite Foragor and another
Chainaman was standing at the
table. Red" the barber, was also
standing around. Have played at
faro and have run a game and
know pretty we'll how it is played.
Thirteen cards and place called
the high card are on the layout.
The defense objected to Sheriff
Harris explaining the game to
the jury and the question was
withdrawn. The dealers box is
a small metal box with spring
and deck of cards in it. johnson
was in chair overlooking the
game. He described the case
keeper and said it was directly
across the table from Foragor and
in front of Chinaman. Foragor
was shutting pack of cards and
the ChinamaD was tipping the
case-keepe-.
Case keeper is tipped when last
card is out of box the checks were
At Foragor's right where they are
usually kept on a faro layout.
The cash drawer was at Forgor's
right and was about half open.
There were checks on the table at
right of All Jim. All Jim showed
checks across the table and
FOragor put them in the tray and
handed All Jim some silver money,
but do not know how much.
johnson took mvney from drawer
and put it in his pocket. Asked
him for the money and he took the
money from mis- pocket and laid it
on the table. | counted the

The package was admitted for

Chinaman How much you cash in
at faro game? He made no reply
and Dysart asked him the second
time. He then said FIVE dollars.
Don't think johnson or Foragor
made any remarks at the time the
Chineman cashed in his checks.
Sheriff Harris was still on the
stand when court adjourned to 2
