their skill. the bricklayers, stone ma
sons and other craftsmen their serv-

oxen and carts for the transportation
of material and all the faithful con-
tributed their financial help. rich and
poor alike-each according to his ca
pacity Henry Adams portrays this
democratic support of a cathedral In
his famous book Mont st. Michel and
Chartres.'
1T is impossible under the condi-
tons of modern life in a great city to
copy this old democratic movement,
but We can initiate It's spirit. The de-
mocracy Of support has been q strong
feature of the Roman Catholic Church
throughout the ages and that is one
Of the reasons why that great church
has suffered less than most Protestant
communions during the depression.
It expects the rich to give when they

but its major resources are provided
by the small contributions of the rank

Court Ruling on
Gambling

Declaring claw machines to be
deviSeS in which luck and not
skill are the principal elements,
the police vice squad has inaugu'
rated a campaign to run them
out of the city.
Two men are at liberty on bonds
Of 500 each on charges Of per-
hitting gaming, four machines
are in police custody to be used
as evidence in their trials. sched'
uled for Tuesday in Police Court,
and other machines are either
padlocked or have "out of order"
signs on them.
It was said at the prosecutors
offices that the government will
submit yesterdays seizures as test
cases if the persons charged will
submit the cases to a judge with
out a jury.
A jury trial, it was pointed out.
would entail considerable delay
and the government, in the event
jury trial is demanded, will be
forced to order the seizure of all
other such machines in the city.
Owners Order Play Stopped
The men charged are James H.
ForSythe, As, manager of the
Shoreham Drug Store, Fifteenth
and H Streets Northwest, and
Carl A. Milton, SO, of 606 H Street
Northwest.
Owners Of the machines noti'
fled storekeeperS and others in
whose places the devices were in
use to stop all play on them at
once when news of the two raids
yesterday reached them.
Lieut.. George M. Little, head
of the vice squad, ordered the
raids following a decision of the
Appellate Court of New York in
which the machines were ruled to
be gambling devices.
Upheld by Jury Here
A Washington Police Court
jury some months ago found the
machines were legal in that the
element of skill played large
part in obtaining merchandise
from the machines.
Police said today an examine
ton of the four seized machines
disclosed their stands were
heavily weighted with ingot
metal to prevent shaking and
tipping over" of articles that
slips from the claws near the
slot which delivers them to the
winning player.
Three of the machines were
confiscated in the drug store and
the fourth was taken from Mil
tons place, police said.
