Presiding Judge George sounded ths knell of open gambling In Portland. By this opinion practically all obstacles which have been thrown In the pathway of Sheriff Word have been removed and be remains free to carry out his vigorous policy of keeping the gambling houses closed. - Not only does Judge Oeorge hold that the city charter In no wise supsrssdes the stats tows but that ths evident in tention of the framera of the charter was to assist ths state officials In sup pressing gambling by providing ad ditional penalties for infraction of the laws sgalnst gaming. Us draws atten tion especially to the fact that under the charter the mayor, the. executive board and the chief of police are ob ligated to aid tha stats off totals In every wsy possible In their duties relative to stamping out the gambling evil. The decision was on a demurrer inter posed by Attorney Bd Msndenhall to the Information filed la the elroult eourt charging Peter Grant and Nate Solomon, proprietors of the Portland Club, with oenduotlng a Reno game, following ths action Of JuaUoe Seton In holding thsm tt' answor on prmtcnlnarx. asamlnatlon, A.-gumant on the demurrer was" held be fore Judge George yesterday.

Notwithstanding thla, he directs special attention to ths fact that all officials, state, county and municipal, are charred with the duty of enforcing the gambling laws as rigidly ss to found practicable. The opinion la part follows; "This to an Information charging munbllnar. A demurrer has bean filed on the ground that the Portland city charter baa repealed the stats laws, it cites ths o barter of Hot a number of sections are quoted, bat rt to unneces sary kere to give them In detail as well sa a number of aotborttlee in Oregon and the eastern states, on the eontentloa that thla aHmlclpal eharter has set sslde the state law in regard to gam bling within the elty limits of Portland, snd relegated that matter to the munic ipal authorities to pass upon. "The stats claims that under the pro visions of the stats law, which sre as serted to be la foroa, this Information Is sufficient. "It la evident that If trv tbs eltr enarter It to apparent the legislature In tended to confer on the ottv oounoll ex clusive Jurisdiction over gambling, then the state law would be superseded, so far as the city limits of Portland are concerned, but the court doss not read Into any section of ths elty charter, evi dence of that Intention. . i "By the state law the legislature ee- etores gambling a orlme and tries to punish It. By the Portland elty eharter tt does not purport to turn the matter of gambling over to the municipality like ths ssls of liquor, for elty regulation, but evidently retains ths state taw with out express repeal certainly, empowers the elty not to regulate gambling but tb suppress gambling and gambling houses.
