sious of the law quoted heretofore, how about

army of men to attempt its full enforcement.
In the City Of New York there are more than
10000 policemen, all of whom charged
with the duty of enforcing the state prohibi-
nothing else. At that rate, the number of
Federal agents who would be required to en-
force the Volstead law would be impossibly
great The national statute, therefore, need
not be given much consideration. Every
reader knows how futile was the attempt to
enforce it until the state passed the Mullan-
Gage legislation.
What is the result of the attempted enforce

should be noted that never, so far as is known,
has one of them replied: $50 I see. What's
good in the first race at Belmont Park to-day?
The detectives testify that they observed
Sam accepting little slips of paper from
various persons; that when he was searched
these slips were found to bear the names Of
horses entered to race that day; that he was
equipped with racing charts, gu entry list and
other racing information. But, the detectives
have to admit they saw no money passed. OF
course they didn't That was done elsewhere
and. at another time, or through another per.
son. Then Sans lawyer demands how they
know the names on Sans scraps Of paper were
the names of horses They read 'em in paper.

seems to one reading it, has been shot full Of
holes by judicial decisions.
In Jamaica, L. L., which is the racing center
of New York State, being the focal point of
three tracks, there is a young man who may
be referred to as Sam Browne, for that is moth
ing like his real name. He is mentioned par
ticulary because he will serve as an example
of how the police do their duty and how bet
ting goes on just the same.
Everybody in Jamaica knows that Sam is
bookmaker. Nobody makes any secret of it.
A man with "hot tip" or 'hunch" on
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-08-21

in that community. Let him drop into cigar
store for instance, and ask the clerk where
he can put down little bet.
'See Sam Browne; he'll take it," says the
clerk, anxious to oblige.
SO the visitor gets introduction to Sam.
That is easy, provided he can prove that he
isn't detective, imported from Manhattan for
the occasion-Sam knows all the local sleuths.
Sam takes his bet, and, if the bettor wins,
he will be certain of getting his money, as
Sam is an honest gambler.
So much for the secrecy of Sans operations.
He is professional bookmaker, 50, no matter
how the Hart-Agnew law has been mussed up
by decisions, one would still think that Sam
would soon be convicted under it's provisions.
But he isn't, although he is arrested about
once every week. Sometimes, if the detectives
are busy, they let him alone for as much as
two weeks. Then Sam says:
Good morning, Judge. I'm in again."
To the credit Of the Jamaica jurists. =

it apply to the present-day drought.
"The evidence must show" the decision
might read, that the accused belongs to the
class Of common drinkers. 'Bootlegging' is
distinct from the mere making of home brew.
In other words, this section is aimed only as
those who make a practice of drinking with
all corners, so that for one engaging in a
game of golf to drink with his opponent is
not within the section, though memory Of
the drink might linger"
Section 986 Of the Penal Code was and is
as actively enforced as the Mullan-G Gage law,
but that has not put an end either to racing or
booklnaking. The purpose Of this comparison
is to show that the Mulan-Gage law will not
put an end either to drinking or Bookkeeping.
And if the Muan-Gage law does not the Vol
stead act certainly won't, because the Federal
authorities have never been as active in at
tempting to enforce the latter as the state and
city authorities are in abiding by the provisions
Of the former. They cannot be, for the Vol
stead law is nationwide, and it would take an

ment of the Hart-Agnew law? Practically
NIL Racing, now at its height in New York
State, was never so successful. Never have
such throngs attended each days events. And
never was betting more freely done, accord
ing to those who know the game.
Bookmakers flourish at every racetrack
in the state. 1t is known that bets arc
accepted both inside and outside the race
tracks, that handbooks are made on every
street and in almost every semi-public build
ing, such as tobacco shops, barber shops
and hotels, within radius of, say, five miles
from the tracks, and that in New York City
a large number of the employees of every
business house talk Of racing and betting
most of the day and pore dope sheets"
and "past performance records" we'll into the
night.
But that condition is not the fault of the
police Alleged bookmakers are arrested every
day. And nincty-nne out of every hundred
are discharged by magistrate the next day.
Why? Because the law, iron bound as it

CHATS hearsay evidence"
Suppose, though, that the
detectives visited one of the
local tracks and actually
saw horses bearing the same
names run in a race. How,
questions the counselor, do
they know that the names
on the paper slips referred
to the same horses or, for
that matter, to any horses
at all? Might not the writ
ten names have been those
of pet dogs, for instance?
The detectives don't know
that. No one could. So
this testimony is stricken
out. AS for the racing
charts and the entry lists,
aren't they published in
every newspaper in the
country? The sleuths are
compelled to acknowledge it.
do you, therefore, ar
rest every man you see read
ing the sporting page Of a
newspaper" cross-examines
the lawyer.
Of course, they don't.
"Then, your honor, ! move
to dismiss, on the ground
that the prosecution has
failed to make out a case"
announces the legal lumi-
nary.
"Motion granted" rules
the judge-there is moth
ing else for him to do-and
Sam goes back to his book
making.
Suppose, though, that Sam
has made the mistake Of
not recognizing a detective
and has accepted a bet from
him, even to personally TAX
ing the money. That's moth
ing to worry about. The law
says, or the decisions upon it
do, that one bet doesn't
make a bookmaker, any
more than one swallow
makes a summer. How can
the detectives prove that be-
cause Sam took a bet from
one of them he takes bets
from all corners and makes
his living that way. They
can't, so Sam is acquitted
anyhow.
\ This year new method
has been attempted to OBJ
tain convictions Of makers
of handbooks. They were not
charged with accepting bets
upon the races, but merely
with disorderly conduct

hidden is guilty Of misdem
conviction is punishable by
a penitentiary or county
Jail for a period of not more
than one year"
Isn't that definitely ex-
plicit? Would the laymen
consider that there was any
way out of or around the
provisions of that law? Read
it again. Notice that its
provisions apply to any per-
son doing any of the things
forbidden-not just profess
sional bookmakers, but any
body at all. 1t even makes it
a misdemeanor to register
a bet upon an election, or to
be a stakeholder in such a
connection, provided the
stakeholder does it for gain,
hire or reward.
Apparently, that anti-gam-
bling law was as copper-riv-
eted as the bluest reformer
might wish, and evident
ly the racetrack interests
thought so from the doleful
statements, damp with sobs,
that were printed about that
time.
But, first thing the re-
formers knew, it was de-
cided that when the law
said "any person" it didn't
mean that at all. Judge
Haight is quoted with
wealth of authority and ref
erences, in McKinney's an
notations to the Penal Law,
as deciding, in People ex
rel. Lichtenstein versus Lam
gan, 1876 N. Y, 260, 264,
that "the evidence must
show that the accused be-
longs to the class Of COM
mon gamblers. Bookmak-
ing is distinct from the mere
making or recording of bets.
In others words, this sec
ton is aimed only at those
who make a practice of bet
ting with all corners, so that
for one engaging in a game
of golf to bet with his OPP
