Playing Cards
Outside Home
Is DangerOnS

The only safe place for a man to
play cards in Texas is in a private
home occupied. not by a bachelor or
maiden. but by a bona fide family.
Such was the Interpretation Of the
Texas law which prohibits card play
ing in a public place, given by as
sistant city attorney L A Richard
son. in police court Monday, during
the trial OF man charged with play
ing cards in a club room
This means that a man cannot play
cards in his office, his club or any
other place except a bona fide home,
occupied by q family" he said. The
average person thinks that II there
is no money on card game the law
Is not being violated. but this is not
the case. The prosecuting attorneys
are not required to prove more than
that a card game was in progress and
that 1t was not in a private home
Money does not constitute the offence
in this matter; It is playing in a pub
lie place"
Under this Interpretation, the man,
S. Gano. admitted his guilt Of
technical law violation, but, con-
WINGED that the man did not under
stand the law. the judge released him

day to the people Of the city OF New

These vessels are by far the largest
and most important ever taken as
prizes by the American navy They
were taken over and brought TO this
country by American sailormen who
left the United States some months
ago TO bring them home
The Ost F'riesland is a battleship
Of $4,000 tons and compares very IA
vorably to the American battleship
New York. She is a modern dread
naught carrying twelve l2-inch guns,
but viii probably never take her
place in the fleet as a member OF che
great American navy as IL Is ex-
pected that she and the other craft
viii only be used for experimental
purposes, and as an added educational
value to the fond traditions Of the
navy.
A Fast Cruiser.

was placed in commission at viii

She took an active part in scout duty
during the war and protected Ger
man transports and the landing Of
German troops at Oesel Island. the
Baltic, in 1917. She took part in the
battle OF the Jutland and emerged
from that engagement without seri-
Gus damage, having been hit but four
times.
The three destroyers were towed
by American mine planters, and the
Frankfurt by the navy transport
Hancock.
Second Contingent Of Ships.
This is the second contingent Of
German war vessels which have been
delivered to Uncle Sam, the subma-
rines having been turned over at the
signing Of the armistice and brought
to this country by American crews.
These submarines were taken to
many ports for the edification OF the
people, Later they were assembled
at the navy yard, Philadelphia, for
careful study by American naval ar
ch1tecrs and constructors.
The Americans who went to Rosyth,
England, TO bring back the Ameri-
can prizes, returned by way OF the
Azores. and had ample opportunity
TO take in the sights in these beau
tiful mid-Atlantic islands.
An opportunity viii be given Amer
lean naval officers TO study these
ships and In the week following their
arrival at New York, the entire bat
tleship fleet Of the Atlantic fleet
VIII arrive here also, in order that
the officers may 90 on board and

ritorys TO put an end 70 the clan
destine trade thriving there which,
in the past few weeks had assumed
such proportions that the local au-
thorities were unable to prevent vio-
lation Of the import and export duty
regulations
The principal street Of DInxperloo,
which is about there miles long, and
OF which one side is Dutch while the
other is German, IS crowded Soon
the throngs got beyond control OF
the custom house officers One Ger
man clerk was tied to q tree for try
ing TO enforce the law Trade con
sisted chiefly IN coffee, tea, oil, cocoa,
bicycle tires, tobacco and cigarets
and for sometime was most brisk.
AS soon as the troops arrived, how
ever, order was restored and the
Dutch commander issued a manifesto
saying that nobody at Dinxperloo
would be allowed to have more pro-
visions in store than needed for his
private use The shops we're also put
under strict control
