POKER MONEY RECOVERABLE.
View Taken ny Seattle Judge Under
Washington Law.
Spokane Spokesman-Review.
Judge Jacobs, of the superior court of
King county, at Seattle, rendered a de
cision Tuesday which may interest Wash
ington poker players. -Plaintiff claimed
that he lost $2800 In private poker games,
and that the defendant won his money.
Jfe sued under "the tfe,e statuje for re-
covery, ana aeienaant meet 9- demurrer,
In which he claimed there was a distinc
tion under the law as between poker when
played openly and above board at a pub
lic gambling-house and a "sociable" game
between acquaintances In their private
apartments. In overruling the demurrer,
the court said:
"The statutes enumerate wo classes of
prohibited games; bunco games, which
are punished by imprisonment In the pen
itentiary upon conviction, and a second
class, 'which are usually played for
money. Poker, as the court holds from
its limited knowledge of such matters. Is
not a banking game. Persons made re
sponsible for both classes of games are
the dealer and player. The code gives
the right of action to recover from the
dealer, player or proprietor, for the
amount of money or the value of the
things lost in such games. I am, of the
opinion that the demurrer ought to be
overruled, and that the complaint states
a cause of action."
In other words, it Is the opinion of the
court that, if some unfortunate, after
losing heavily at poker in a ''social" game
with friends behind closed doors, should
bring action for tho riovery ot his lost
hundreds or thousand the' Jaw would
support his claim.','''' -' ,y -"

WASHINGTON SUPREME COURT.
Decision in a. Case Where "but Eleven
Jurors Heard the Testimony.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 9. The supreme
court has affirmed judgment in the case of
the State of Washington vs. Charles Ellis
and John Ward, respondents, from Spckane
county. In this case the respondents were
on trial tor robbery. At the time of the
Jury trial, one of the Jurors fell ill and
was unable to be present in the court.
The attorneys on either side of the case
then entered into a stipulation to proceed
with the case with 11 jurors. The men
were convicted of the robbery, whereupon
they filed a motion to set aside the verdict
and for a new trial, anslzninar as a. reason
,that ja,'verarct rendered by a Jury of ll
men dply was void. The question Involved
is tOrfletermine whether a defendant prosO
cutett' fox felony under the constitution
and laws of this state can bind himself
by stipulation to submit to a trial by any
number of jurors less than 12. The su
preme court holds that the action of such
a tribunal would not be valid, and the
jury must contain the -full quota of 12 men
as required by law.
It i3 reported here that Mark E. Reed
will be appointed president of the Capitol
National bank, of Olympla, to take the
place of C. J. Lord, who is soon to remove

FACTS AS TO KENTUCKY.
Brief Review of the Underlying
Causes of the Sitnation.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
William S. Taylor and William Goebel
were Candidates for governor of Ken
tucky. The election machinery of the
state, from top to bottom, was In Goe
bel's control by -virtue of a law framed by
him and passed by the legislature under
his influence. At Goebel's dictation and
for Goebel's benefit Goebel's henchmen
among the local election officers resorted
to every trick and device known to dirty
politics to throw out votes for Taylor and
count them in for Goebel. By means of
these frauds a majority for Taylor con
servatively estimated at 20,000 was re
duced to about 2000. Then a cog broke In
Goebel's fraud machine. The state board
of canvassers had in its Goebellte major
ity some honest men. These men refused
to obey Goebel's command to complete
the work of fraud, and after an Inquiry
extending over many days declared that
a majority of the people of Kentucky had
voted for Taylor and that he was lawful
ly chosen governor. Taylor received the
certificate of election, and was duly in
stallea in office. v
Goebel then appealed to" his partisans in
the legislature, boards of contest" were
created, and the parties summoned be
fore them. These boards devoted the
greater part of two weeks to hearing
Goebel's side. His charges and evidence
were chiefly to the effect that in certain
counties carred,'by Taylor- the ballots
.were-"printed -upon thinner paper- $ban
'the' law allowed. Taylor replied with
charges of -fraud in Goebel's interest in
over 50 counties,- and showed that the
..same thin paper ballots were used in
counties carried by Goebel, and gave the
names ot about 1000 legal voters who
were ready to swear that their votes for
Taylor had. been, refused or counted .for
Xroebel-rby the -machinations j0 the Go
belltse election officers. The boards at cbji
test refused" to 'hear any evrdence upon
Taylor's charges, save in respect to two
precincts.
Then came the shooting of Goebel by an
assassin concealed in a building near the
statehouse an assassin whose person and
whose motives at this writing are alike
unknown. The boards of contest, hav
ing refused to hear Taylor's evidence,
having heard but. one side of a case of
Which both lai And rommoa- decency re
quired them ta-bear both sides, met In
haste, declared tiieir minds raa&e-jup. and
by a partisan vote adopted a report to
the legislature asserting Goebel elected.,
Thls report bears on Its face the false
statement, "We have heard all the evi
dence offered by both parties." A sim
ilar report was adopted on the contest
between Beckham and Marshall for the
lieutenant-go verr o-ship
A more glaring Instance of partisanship
.run mad. a xaore flagrant denial of JwetlM
oy a juoKU&i body, than the .aetl&a, c
the Kentucky contest boards ft Is fcaayoe
slblo to Imagine. The refusal to hear
Taylor's evidence can be described only
as a erlralaai conslraey to sfc&t Goebel,
Tight or wrong. The fact that Goebel Is
dead from wounds inflicted by some cra
zy fanatic or by some man nursing &
private wrong, of which not a few wars
done by Goebel In his notorious career,
is seized upon as an excuse for complet
ing this conspiracy. Even if the attack
upon Goebel was an act of personal re
venge; as seems quite probable, it was
inexcusable and nothing but plate mur
der. But the aetkm of the vontest board
is equally inexcusable and equally law
less. The private erirae of sheeting G
bel will net justify the public crime ot
nullifying the expressed will of the pe
ple of Kentucky.

Statement From Levrlston on the
Aspect of Affairs.
Of the extension of the "truce" between
the O. R. & N. and the Northern Pacific
till October next, reported in telegrapaie
dispatches to The Oregonian from Omaha
a few davs ago, the Lewtetoa Tribune
says:
There have always been doubts ao to the O.
R. & N.'s acceptance ot any agreement 1wl
In its exclusion from territory that mast have
been logically included in lu orista&l pUmB.
The commercial Ufa of Portland, aad eaiw
quently of the Oregon road, depesds on retaim
lag and ueveioptns the trace area that it
they can serve more advantageously than otaer
points can. No ose doubts that Porttena In the
logical distributing point for the Clearwater
country, and if Portlaad aad its railroad r
railroads cannot protest themselves la the
country Where they hav both natural and. ac
quired advantages and claims, they have suf
fered a dismemberment that cannot be recom
pensed except by diverting other oMsmerce
from its natural channels. This Involves an Be
setting of natural laws and an imposition of
unnatural charges that modern finance, modern
intelligence aad modern Becesitles are not
willing to voluntarily assume. Portland and.
the Oregon road are not wllltaff to be tfcwo
crippled an long as they remain aettve com
petitors for commercial position. There may be
a superior force requiring' them, to yield to cir
cumstances, but they will fight against It the
are fighting against it, and the extension of the
truce Is the evidence of it.
The Lewleton gateway Is aa essential to tha
integral structure of the Northern Paifl as it
is. to physical .auste&anee at the- Oregon roaci.
There Is no ctepeilng that each, roan baa an
economic right to secura its special Beeeesttls
In tho country und?r controversy Bat the
point of difference and it to properly an h-
reconcllabto difference Is that one road shall
have what it wants and the other sbatl have
nothing, or at least shall only have something
that It does not want and does not ooseWer a
desirable exchange.
While the roads are contending, the one for
exclusive rights and tho other for its sources
ot vitality, the Industrial Interests that have a
right to expect some consideration 1b. the point
ing controversy are being needieaeiy ret&rctad
and disturbed. The Individual and general in
terests, however, are not only ignored in the
entanglement, hat have no court of appeal and
no forces to employ In behalf of a decisive eet
tlement of the suspense. Those who understand
the Inescapable relation of water graoes and
the Lewlston gateway to the eommeroi&l neeeo
slties of the day, and who knew the ptan at
operations that has been pursued, with Baik. per
sistence )and vigojr to. acquire Ojeae sajUraLheipa
to rapid an( economic trans-portattoa, win aqt
for a moment ceaser to afpt their- kntolRS i
coming- conditions". The repeated alterations
and interruptions la tho probable transporta
tion facilities are, however, not particularly en
couraging een to those who are most familiar
with tho situation, and necessarily are not pro
ductive of sound feeling' In those whose vtew
are but superficial. It is probably not important
to the railways at this Juncture what effect
their maneuvers have on the country or on the
Individual enterprises of the country, fettt K
ought to be important. So we can only vttttt
along, attend to business, huiid up tho leeal )h
dustrles and. resources; enjoy the brightness an4
beauty that nature has so riehly provided, and
let tho railways do the guessing aad the ag
onizing. BOUGHT ANOTHER "WATER FROXT.
Meaning: of Northern Pacific's Par
chase, at Everett, TV'ash.
Everett Independent.
Every indication points t6 the fact that
Mr. Mellen had only ene Idea in view
when he bought tho valuable franchise,
depot grounds and water front in Kver
ett, heretofore belonging to the Everett ft
Monte Cristo road.
It is well known that the right of way
now held by the Northern Pacific in thte
town takes in the entire river and bay
fronts, and' is what is called' the outside
right of way. In other words. It is next
to the water, and any other road want
ing to do any traffic with mills located
on the water's edge, or to ship anything
by water, or to transfer anything coming
by water to its cars, must cross the tracks
of the Northern Pacific.
Some people are loud in the belief that
Mr. Mellen bought the Everett & Monte
Cristo in order to give the Seattle & In
ternational a little local business out of
Everett. Now, he it known that the price
paid for the little strip of rqad, including
the terminals was the enormous sum. of
$750,000, in cash, or the same figure which
Mr. Hill offered for the whole road, with
tho Monte Cristo mines and the Puget
sound reduction works thrown in
It is now said that Mr Hill feels ag
grieved that the Northern Pacific has
bought the Everett water front, that he
thinks his oft-repeated assertion that he
Intended, in the future, Co do "some
thing" at Everett, should have prevented
the Everett & Monte Cristo people from
selling to anybody else, even at a higher
price. The difference between Mellen and
Hill is that the former knows what he
wants and is willing to pay for it, while
the latter also knows what he wants, but
he tries to get it "way down." and fre
quently loses it, as he did the water front
at both Seattle and Everett.
It won't take the Seattle & Interna
tional a long time to earn $?S0,09 by di
viding up the local business of Everett
with the Great Northern, but the termin
als acquired here are worth several times
$733,000 to the Northern Pacific railway,
and the Great Northern would also doubt
less be willing to pay several times J1W,
000 for the Everett water front, aw that
It has lost t
That Mr. Mellen Intends to extend the
Washington Central, now graded to
Watertown, through Indian pass to a di
rect connection with the Seattle & Inter,
national at Darrlngton, there is no reason
to doubt. This will give the Norther
Pacific an air Mne from Spokane to tide
water at Everett, over 200 miles shorts
than its present line- from Spokane t
tidewater.
