BILL IS TO COVER
EVERY L00PH0LE
BRIDGE WHIST AND CARD
GAMES FOR SMALL PRIZES
ARE ON THE LIST.

Stephensons anIi-gambl!ng bill,
aimed alike at poker playing. book
making and machine gambling. al
ready passed by the House OF Dele
gates. will be threshed out before the
Senate Committee on General Laws
Friday afternoon. 1t was considered
by the committee In executive session
last Friday, but members thought. in
view OF the Importance OF the bill.
they had best give full hearing.
Dir. Stephenson will be on hand to
speak for the bill.
The twenty dollar clause in the old
gambling law Is eliminated in the
measure before the Legislature. No
more, II the bill Is passed, can a few
cronies sit down to a friendly game
OF poker with doors unlocked. Bet
ting on football games. baseball
games or any sort Of sport is also
taboOed
To reach bookmaking. which 1t is
alleged is carried on at the James
town track twice yearly. the bin gives
concurrent jurisdiction to circuit
courts and justices of the peace. This
is aimed also at gambling houses
said to be maintained in the sum-
mer at Ocean View, near Norfolk.
Another important provision of the
bin gives the Commonwealth the
right OF appeal. denied under the
present law. This was inserted be-
cause OF the outcome last year of
cases against the jamestown Jockey
Clue tried in n: a3SoEtssis ,eSaslsy RAG,
Iistrate's court. in which there was no
conviction.
The bill Is opposed because of its
stringency. Those who fought It in
the House declared 1t would put an
end TO bridge whist parties where
small prizes are given. Stephenson
and others say the law must cover
every loophole or 1t will be impos-
sible to convict professional gamblers.
| They say it is almost impossible to
secure convictions under the old law.
no matter how guilty the accused
may be proven.
The bill will meet with strong
| opposition in the Senate.

W. C. Brown, president Of the New

of the New York State Food Inyes-
tlgating Commission. today quoted fig
ures TO confirm his expressed opinion.
He said:
THE facts that have been gathering
for some time on the problem of high

said;

Mr.. Brown said he agreed with e~-
pertsg that the Atlantic Sesboard
States. now furnishing only about 10
per cent. of their own requirements.
should produce more than Nifty Per
cent. of the foodstuffs required for
home consumption.

Their ideas of farming are nutRorn-
The men who complain that they can
not make money on farms today do
not know how. They DO not farm in

Mr.. Coleman. Of. Fredericksburg.
and Speaker Byrd were patrons OF
measures looking to more business
like transactions between the State
and its collecting officials. Measures
introduced by them Saturday require
treasurers to furnish the Auditor of
Public Accounts with monthly state
ments of all collections and to pay
into the State treasury all amounts
collected monthly. The Auditor Is
required to furnish the Governor with
a list of those treasurers which fail
to pay up as required by the law at
stated intervals
The Fee System.
on Saturday the Governor sent
special message to the General AS
sembly again calling attention to the
fee system and recommending that
the system be gradually abolished
on a plan that would not cost the
State any money. He would require
the payment of salaries, which are
in no case to exceed the amount of
the fees collected. In those offices
where the fees collected aggregate a
large sum the treasury of the State
would be enriched. by the surplus col
