STRINGENT RULES ON
 GAMES OF CHANCE
Up tc Associations As to What They Will Allow.-May
 Not Get State Money
State Board of Agriculture to Be
 Asked to Modify Ruling

Secretary L. II Healey of the State Board of Agriculture says that 1t IS up 10 the individual fair associations 10 do what t sees fit as to allowing in- nccent games of chance involving prizes. but no association which does allow them can benefit by the state appropriation for agricultural fairs.
 The state board ruled a few weeks age. ia its effort 70 banish gambling from the state. that all games of chance. even those involving small tgiakets cf merchandise and small val ue prizes. are to be prohibited. That is. according to the secretary, they must be prohibited if the associations wish to take advantage of the state toafds' offer as in the past
 With the intention of asking the state board to modify this ruling. the executive committee of the State Fairs Association has appointed a sub committee to confer 3ith the members of the state board.
 It is said that gambling, often for high stakes, was epidemic at many state fairs last fall and to such an ex- tent as 10 cause the state board of az ricusture to decree that the section of statutes relative to gambling and games of chance. must be enforced to the letter. As the ruling effects all fairs controlled by the board f has 9ccasioned statewide comment.
 Several fair officials fear that the observance of the rules SO closely drawn will have an adverse reaction on the attendance and the committee ia expected to argue that inasmueh as the coming fair season immediately Dreeedes a session of the general as sembly the fairs be allowed to pro- eeed under the same rules regarding gambling as last year These rules prohibited all games of chance, ex- cept those involving prizes other chan cash. of small value and therefore of an innocent nature.
 The state allows each fan assoeia. ton sI00 for the first $l00 1t fur nishes. and 500 for each succeeding SI00. with a limit of 5000 to each association. There are G. associations Tn the state, some of which draw s10C and others which draw up 10 $500.

l Charlie Champlin-sounds some thing like Charlie Chaplin, doesn't it? and Mrs. Charles left Putnam Sat urday for Camp Clam-Crab on the shores of salt river somewhere in Connecticut. Charles put away his apron, makeup rule and the stub of his last cigar and left the office of The Patriot at closing time Saturday for his annual vacation. Down on the river the clans and crabs had been ap- prised of the coming of The Patriot ! foreman; they must have been, for he writes that the salt water dwellers were waiting at the door upon arrival They reached the camp ahead of Charles, quite a time ahead, for, like presidents and pugulists, great actors, ct cetera, Charles enfamily were un- avoidably detained. It was not due to i the railroads or steamboats or broken down autos that Charles did not ar rive on schedule, but the owner of the camp forgot to doll it up with phos- l phorus or put spot light on 1t or do anything so that Charles might see it through the darkness and fog that quietly drifted in from Long Island Sound. In other words Charles could not find the camp a-tall, although he had paid the rent and had perfect right to sleep in 1t and eat in 1t, If there was anything to eat, and he says there was for the clans and crabs were waiting to jump into the stew kettle but found nc stew kettle to jump into.
 After searching the shore between the Whaling City and Saybrook June ton Saturday night, Mr and Mrs. Charles returned to the base and de eided t9 put up for the night, even though they knew that the reception committee had made all arrangements for their arrival in July instead of in August.

WALTER HAS A SECRET
Tells Court He Buys Whiskey At s2
 For Big Bottle"

After struggling with the names of the defendant, the complainant, and one witness. the prosecuting attorney and judge of the city court were bit overcome, but the greatest surprise al Monday mornings proceeding came when Walter, who said his name was not Jambo, 4s he gave t while intoxI- eated, but the much more euphonious cognomen. Mastalerz, told the court officials that he purchased whiskey, a "big bottle" of 1t. for two dollars. "l guess t must have been moonshine, said the prosecutor. This opinion His Honor apparently shared
 When asked who made the whiskey, Walter said he did not know He put ie s and g man got it. He wash t sure of the mans name either, but be- fore his cross examination was over he did name a man whose name he spell ed with several little used letters of the alphabet. He thought the man lived on School street
 While it may be that whiskey may be dug up if one knows the under ground passage. 1t is rumored that 1t brings from SIP to s20 a quart. Be fore the dry spell struck the country s4 and 8 was charged for the joy wa ter during the last mad stock=up rush. Drunks have told the court that Tn Rhode Island they have paid as high as SIP and 1t was with this in mind that. when Walter spoke of two spot obtaining a lonenecker of the old days, that the prosecutor and the court could not credit t and were led to the belief that Walter had been drinking brew which is commonly called "hootch. "
 Walter was charged with being drunk and with hitting man named Merzuwa in the eye Stanley Llska was the only other witness and it de Veloped that the assault did not amount to much. However. Maltalerz or Jambo was certainly on a jambree from which 1t may be his nom dc plume was derived. for he sang and danced in the alley near the City Hotel and incidentally danced on Joe: feet. Joe didn't like the performance and told Walter to take walk. Waite. did. but he came back and il WAS then that he slapped Joe in the eye. according to Joe, Walter anc Stanleg
 Walter was arrested Saturday night and slept it off iH the police station but Sunday he was bailed out by 2 friend
 Walter paid the court $21.24 foi being drunk and the story of buyine red eye at 5 quart will probably be investigated.

FINDS HEIsFATHER OF ELEVEN
Joseph Dupont Asks Court Where
 Did They All Come From?'

slo oa knew she had five children aEe Fou married hes. didn't yous' askel Judge Gejsslel of Joseph Da- pont
 Yes. 1 knew she had five, but now T have eleven children Where did they all come from?' This was what Joe sbot back at Che court, put the court aid not know the answer. Neith- CT did the court know the facts in the case after two people, neither of whom could talk English. were through tell iae about the family of l3, which did not include two horses and 8 pony.
 Dupont was brought into court on Tuesday morning aH complaint of his wife that he faiIej to support her. Whe. the proceedings were over the prosecutor admitted that the state had not made out case and nolled it.
 < near IS the story could be learn cd. Dupont married the woman and she said she had five children. It later developed that she had forgotten four others, Then twc more arrived after tke marriage, bringing the total up to Ill. Including the husband and wife there are 3 in the family. Add to the high cost of living family of T 8 and it at once becomes apparent that it is some proposition to sail the fam fly boat smoothly, especially when nine of the children are stepchildren.
 And the family boat has not sailed smoothly There has been trouble and ] the wife has before caused the arrest of her husband But as for the charge of non-suppoYt, it was admitted by the wife that the husband had given her at least $l5 a week from the proceeds of his junk business and that she and ] two other children worked to bring in more money.
 The stopping of store bill was one of the factors in the case. The wife alleged that the husband had shut off this source of supply. It came out that the storekeeper had just attached the husbands horses for the store bill and that in all probability it was the law and not Joe who made it impossi- ble for the wife to charge anything more to the account.
 Then there were two horses and pony brought into the miXup. The husband said he sold half horse" to his IS year old son. but that he, the son. still owed $40 on the bill. The father objected to the sons driving his horse without permission. The court thought he, the son, had right to drive his half of the horse and if the rest of the animal wanted to go along the son could not help it. Fin ally 1t was discovered that the son had not driven the horse he had an interest in. but pony. This further compli- eated matters and there was look of mystification on the faces of the court officials, the defendants attorney. and the spectators. Even the reporters at the press table seemed to be getting nothing out of 1t except story.
 The matter was finally given up af- ter both husband and wife had been told that they had better try living to- gether again.
 When questioned by the judge, Du- point denied that he left Pascoag sur reptitiously to avoid the police, and also that he left Woonsoeket in hur " because the police of that city wanted to meet him
