NEW TORK, Feb. 1. Luxurious
gambling establishments known to be
frequented by wealthy women and lo
cated in fashionable residential sec
tions of the city are to be investigated
through taking- of testimony In open

Information in the prosecutor's pos

trict Attorney, shows that the wife of
a prominent New Torker lost $10,000
within two hours In one of the places.
On the upper West Side there are
more than 30 splendidly appointed gam
bling; places to which women motor
every afternoon, taking- their pedigreed
dogs with them as mascots, and are
served with tea and often stronger
beverages while they engage in games
of chance, according to the District At
torney's Information. Evidence that
the proprietors of these houses are
guilty of crooked practices in dealing
with the patrons will be adduced at
the Inquiry, it was said.
"Pedigreed dogs." Assistant District
Attorney Smith declared, "are said to
be regarded as mascots by th fern!
nine gamblers. The story reaching me
today is that the women often bet their
heads off If they think their pet Pom
meranlan Is roascotting successfully
against the mascottlng of another
woman's pet Pekinese or perhaps an
other's more formidable English bull
dog."

Jury, Deliberates Only
45 Minutes.
BOND IS RAISED TO $15,000
Socialist Has Ten Days to Ask
for New Trial.
RANKIN FLAYS DEFENDANT
Convicted Man Makes Rabid Argu
ment in Defense of Charges
Against Him, and Preaches
Typical Socialist Sermon.
After deliberating only 45 minutes,
a jury in the United States Court yes
terday found Floyd Ramp, active So
cialist of Roseburg, guilty on each of
two counts in an indictment charging
him with a violation of the espionage
act. The specific charge was that of
striving by seditious speech and lan
guage to incite insubordination, dis
loyalty and mutiny among the military
forces of the United States.
On the recommendation of Assistant
United States Attorney Rankin. Judge
Wolverton increased Ramp's bond from
$5000 to 515,000 and remanded him to
the custody of the United States Mar
shal until the additional bond is fur
nished. Ramp was granted 10 days in
which to file a motion for a new trial.
He will not be sentenced until after
the expiration of that time. The of
fense of which Ramp was convicted is
punishable by a fine of not exceeding
510,000 and 20 years' imprisonment in
a Federal penitentiary. The statute
makes no provision for a minimum
penalty.
Ramp Preaches Socialism.
Closing arguments were concluded
and the case submitted to the jury at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, follow
ing exhaustive instructions by Judge
Wolverton. Forty-five minutes later
the Jurors, through their foreman, M.
M. Burtner, returned their verdict into
court. The other members of the jury
were: J. T. Adkisson, George W. Bibee,
Otto Brandes, Elmer E. Burton, W. H.
Aldridge, Albert L. Estes, J. M. Toom-
ey, Aden Keen. H. B. Stout, Xj. Berland
and E. L. Barnett.
In his address to the jury Ramp made
rabid argument in defense of the
charge against him and preached a
typical Socialist sermon. He vigor
ously denied that he ever had sought
to discourage men from enlisting for
military service or to incite insubor
dination among the armed forces of the
country. He attempted to justify his
various seditious utterances on tho
grounds of freedom of speech, a right
which he affirmed was conceded to
every citizen by the Federal Consti
tution. '
Rankin Flays Defendant.
Mr. Rankin refused to permit him
self to be drawn into a discussion of
the principles of Socialism in his clos
ing argument, which bristled with
patriotic oratory. In a masterful way,
he flayed Ramp and severely denounced
his disloyal and un-American conduct,
as well as his manifest insincerity aa
It was reflected In his demeanor during
the trial of the serious charges.
The instructions to the jury by Judge
Wolverton were lengthy. In view of
the fact that Ramp had relied mainly .
on the right of free speech to justify
the seditious utterances with which be
was charged, the court gave a clear
exposition of the freedom of speech and
the limitations imposed on the privilege
by the law. On this subject he said:
Free Speech Is Limited.
"Reliance is had by the defendant oa
the right of freedom of speech under th
Federal Constitution for justification
of his acta. That instrument declares
that Congress shall make no law abridg
ing freedom of speech. The guarantee is
a blessing to the people of this Govern
ment and great latitude is - preserved
to them in the exercise of that right.
But a citizen may not use his tongue
or his pen in such a way as to inflict
legal Injury upon his neighbor or an
other. This is akin to the principle
that no person has a right to use his
own to the detriment or injury of As
other. "Nor has any person the iignt, under
the guarantee of freedom of speech, to
shape his language in such a way aa -
to incite disorder, riot or rebellion,
beoause such action leads to a breach
of the peace and distarbs good order
and quietude in the community. Nor
is he privileged to utter such language
and sentiment as will lead to infrac
tion of law, for the laws of the land
are designed to be observed and not to
be discouraged and overridden.
Reasonable Liberty Allowed.
"Much less has he the privilege, no
matter upon what claim or pretense, so
to express himself, with willful purpose,
to lead to the obstruction and re
sistance of the due execution of the
laws of the country, or as will indue
others to do so. A citizen is entitled
to fairly criticise men and measures;
that is, men in public office, whether
of high or low degree, and laws and
ordinances Intended for the government
of the people, even the Constitution of
the State or of the United States; thi3
with a view, by the use of lawful means.
to Improve the public service, or to
amend the laws by which he is gov
erned, or to which he is subjected.
'But when his criticism extends, or
