COURT BLOW TO BETTING
. STARTS FLOOD OF SUITS
By Charles Mccain,
Press Staff Correspondent

| /
London, Nov. 26.-British book
makers have just received blow that
may mean the end of the present bet
ting system in England and at best
means millions of pounds in lawsuits
before the present law has changed.
/ The House Of Lords-the final APP
peal court--has decided that betting
by bank check is illegal.
The decision means that any per-
son who has paid or received bet by
check during the last six years
after which the statute of limitations
invalidates claims---can sue or be
sued for the money.
1t means that bookmakers may be
sued by losers, or by the heirs OF
losers, for hundreds Of millions of
dollars and can in turn sue for more
hundreds of millions from successful
hackers; and that the courts, aunless
the law is changed, can do nothing
except order repayment.
A hacker sued a London bookmaker
for 1925, 900 lost in betting on horse
race and paid by check. The lower
court decided in favor of the bettor,
and the appellate courts in turn back
ed up the decision.
Already suits for recovery Of losses
are pending involving $3,500,OO0.
There will be nothing to it now ex-
cept collecting the money. Similarly,
the decision affects losses in any kind
of betting, such as card-playing at
clubs, can be recovered provided they
were paid--as is customary all over
England--by check.
And England is betting country.
The bets range from a penny up to
the tens of thousands Of pounds that
the Solly Joels and Jimmy Whites put
up when their horses are running.
London papers go to press with every
horse race in England, and everyone
in London, from charwomen to cabi-
net members and the royal princes,
bet frequently, freely and unashamed.
The ordinary hacker deals with one
or two or three bookmakers, with
whom he has accounts. His winnings
and losses are paid by check. And
every bet paid by check by anyone in
England within the last six years is
illegal.
The House Of Lords already has
discussed the decision (given by the
House of Lords technically, but by
the law lords of the House actually
with view to obtaining joint legis-
lation with Commons to remove the
danger of an avalanche of suits that
will choke the legal machinery of
England The Lord Chancellor stated
his sympathy with the desire of other
lords for measure to legalize the
bets. But the decision is the law of
the land, and cannot, be changed ex-
cept by legislation by parliament. And
parliament has been prorogued.

preyed upon the weak and helpless.
Their method is to exterminate those
who, in their eyes, have been social
criminals, no matter how rich and
powerful the criminals may be. The
only feminine member of the group is
played by Leatrice, Joy; and she is
quite as fanatical as the men, until
she falls in love with one of them.
From this point the story is one Of
self-sacritice, through which many of
the members discover that their aims
may be good but their methods futile.

In Agreement.

II HE Herald has no objection to Premier
Hughes, OF Australia, agreeing with our
position on disarmament. We have especially
high opinion of his judgment when he does this.
In addressing the American Club in London, he
said it would be useless to discuss disarmament
unless this included and effected a settlement of
Pacific questions. This settlement, he said must
come first. II it does disarmament will follow as
Of course
As fact. also. taxation has nothing to do
with it. Taxes are but a lever public
opinion This country knows nothing of taxes
as applied in Great Britain. Comparatively speak
ing our people have not yet been touched. Yet
the British commons has just authorized, in
preparation for dsarning, the building of four
battle cruisers which expected to be the last
word in size, speed. armament and fighting
strength. Britain does not intend to be caught
off her guard. Her navy is weaker in fighting
power than before the She has scrapped her
dreadnaught class. She proposes to enter the con-
ference at near her time -honored standard She
will then hold what will be her relative strength
But this proves that taxes will not be a con-
trolling factor, save, perhaps, with the power be-
hind thrones. If Britain goes on building in her
present financial condition, other country, least
of all the United States, will stop. Only removal
OF causes will halt armament; only the removal of
causes will insure peace, and with the removal OF
causes all e'se will follow.
The only problem then, seems to be almost
foolish. Why should the United States and Japan
have differences which could possibly lead to war?
AS truth the two parties most in interest are
these two countries. The others are concerned
largely as arbitrators, who may be, quite surely
will be, involved in any war between the two
