THff MORNING OBEQONIAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1903. AMES IE Shut-Down in Washing ton; Is Complete. THE .HEW LAW IS FEARED Felony Charge Hangs Over Players' Heads. WILL THERE BE A TEST CASE? Seattle, Tncoma and Spokane Hoases All Dark and Gamblers Do Xot Now See Their Way Into the Light. GAMBLING A FELONY. Each and every person -who shall deal, play, or carry on, or open or cause to be opened, or "who Ehall con. dnct, either as owner, proprietor, em ploye, whether for hire or not, any game of faro, roonte, roulette, rouge-et-nolr. lansquenette. rondo, vingt-un (or twenty-one), poker, draw poker, hrag, bluff, thaw, tan, or any banking or other game played with cards, dice, or other device, whether the same shall be played for money, checks, credits, or any other representative of value, shall be guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by Imprisonment in the state peniten tiary for not less than oae year nor more than three years. New statute of the Etato of "Washington. SEATTLE. Wash.. June 12. (Special.) While the gambling felony act has been generally obeyed throughout the state, the rumor that a test case is to be brought is still afloat. Sporting men are Indefinite in their statements as to the city in which the test case will be brought, but Spokane still looms Hp as the most likely spot. That is, there seems to be a stronger feeling that the felony act can be beaten on a straight out fight than is . prevalent elsewhere. Schemes for dodging the law are plentiful la all of the larger cities, though none of them have been found to satisfy the boss gamblers unless it Is "Scotty" Ferguson's charity lottery. Spokane advices Indicate that the scheme has been received with some fa vor In that city, though the gamblers of Spokane are not likely to take up the plan unless It shall be determined here that Ferguson .has .found a means of evading, the act. It Is held that the gambling act can be tested in this lottery scheme without the danger of running up against the felony law. The new act Is in all particulars the same as the old act, with the excep tion that the crime becomes a felony in stead of a misdemeanor. An arrest was made for running the lottery game before the new law went into effect, and a pros ecution will follow under the old act. It Is somewhat reasonable to assume that. If Ferguson succeeds In beating the old law, he could evade the new one, when the only difference between the two is the increased penalty for Its violation. This lottery scheme Is rather unusual and bold. Ferguson merely endowed three beds in a local hospital and an nounced that henceforth he would con duct his gambllng-houso and Chinese lot tery games for the benefit of the charity. holding that the gambling act exempted charitable gambling, such as raffles and lotteries. It is certain that he had some confidence In his scheme, for his house remained opon until long after midnight when the new act went into effect, while other houses closed on the -minute! Gamedtcrs All of One Mind. Perhaps the most significant feature -of the new law's standing In the state is the remarkable unanimity with which the gamblers decided to close up. Every where there seems to have been a general rush to lock the doors at exactly mid night. Of course., where a deal was on at any of the card games none of the deal ers took the trouble to gather up the cards immediately, but as soon as they had been run out the players were obliged to cash In. Interest In the closing night's play was general throughout the state, and while I there are no stories afloat among the ' gamblers of big -stakes' played for In any of the games, the crowd Jn all the houses was large and the tables were crowded. Not all the boss gamblers followed up their opportunity to the last. Here in Seattle tho police have made a desultory. effort to keep the town closed since the grand jury was convened: and, though the effort was pretty much of a tarce, gambling was not as general during the past six months as it had been prior to that time. Some of the gamblers did not consider it worth while to open up after the grand Jury had adjourned for the short play up to the time of the new act's taking . effect, while others could not get the protection they required. A story comes from Tacoma of the sud den closing of one of the big houses In that city about a month ago. The pro prietor of the house pulled out all of his games with the explanation that he did not intend to run up to the limit of time, because "every fellow, who went against the jjames would win on the last night, and I wouldn't have enough money left for wages." This lacks a great deal of being a vote of confidence in his employes, but tho op portunity for a clean-up on the last night would certainly have been present. How ever, few of the boss gamblers held to this theory. Penalties to Be Imposed. That the new law will be rigorously en forced is Insisted upon by the state's at torneys, who will have charge of the matter. Prosecuting Attorney Scott, of Seattle. w.ho is out to make a record, has Issued a public statement. In the course ofVwhlch he declares he will prosecute any person who violates the law. Less enthusiastic statements have been given by other county attorneys throughout the state. Nov.- that the law Is In effect, the pub lic will watch it for signs of a conflrma- 'tloa of the predictions made by opponent of -the bill last "Winter. Their strongest objection to the act was that it gave un-" limited opportunities for blackmail. There Is no question but that protected games could be levied upon for heaVy tribute, .but It Is doubtful whether the boss gamblers would consider it worth while to open up on the promise of- offi cial support when they realized how jnuch they would have to pay for such support. In any event. It Is not likely any of the games will be opened Immedi ately, for the public Is watching too closely. The boss gamblers have not decided upon their future course. They are, as a rule, men who have been Identified with the larger cities of the state for years, -since gambling has been conducted open ly for a period so long that few remember when any of the towns were closed. A temporary close-down in Seattle during the Ronald and Woods administrations are the only breaks here; Spokane has had public gambling for 1? years, and Tacoma has been wide open since terri torial days. As a result, the boss gam blers are more or less of a fixture, and as a rule have saloon and other interests. They are likely to remain In the state for a time and await the outcome, hoping that the' law may be beaten, but as a rule careful to allow some one else to make the fight Leaving: for Xevr Field. The employes of the different houses, having nothing at stake, have already begun to scatter. Many of them left dur ing the past few weeks, and the others, who held on to the last, will jump -to some of the "open" cities In neighboring states. In sporting circles reports of "wide open" conditions in outside points have been drifting about for several weeks, and many of the employes have already made arrangements to leave. The new slot-machine law will unques tionably be tested in the courts. This act merely strengthened the old bill so as to include clearly the merchandise nickle- in-the-slot machines. Though slot-machine owners have not given a statement as to their ground for attacking the new law. It is known that they will make a fight. In this connection It is remembered that the enrolling clerks, either Inadvertently or Intentionally, made an error in copying the slot-machine bill, giving the number of a wrong section as the one amended. Some attorneys hold this does not affect the validity of the law. ENCAMPMENT AT NAMPA. Grand Army and Relief Corps Have Delightful . Seaalon. TCAMPA. Idaho. June 12. (Special.)
