Judge (Jeorgc handed down an opinion In which he overruled the demurrer of the defense and held the Indictment sufficient under 1 the public nuisance statute of the state. The contention of the defense had. beep ; that, whereas the act of conducting a poolroom might be injurious to' publlo anorals.

Judge George's I pinion cffectually'dkjposes of such cort f tention. and lays down broad ground J Whereupon to pursue the further prose j cation of poolroom gamblers, as well as ajny other persons who conduct establlsh t ments wherein games of chance or bet- tlnit on races Is carried on. Judge George's opinion follows: This indictment charges . the defend ant with the crime of wilfully and wrongfully committing an act which grossly disturbs the public peace and openly outrages the public decency and t injurious to public morals. Sec. 13 of Bell. & Cot. Comp. pro vides for the punishment of any person Who shall "wilfully and wrongfully com mit any act which grossly ;! disturbs the public peace or ; ) Which openly outrages the public de- V cency and Is Injurious to publlo morals." a?-' The specific charge against the de- ; fendant Is that he did "for gain habltu- - ally sell pools upon norse races ana habitually procure Idle and evil disposed ' persona to come to his house to buy i pools and to bet upon horse races to 1 the common nuisance and annoyance of ill aood cltlsens." This Is equivalent : ml in nharrlnf the defendant With keeping a gaming houae under the au thorities but charges also resultant ef fects to the public peace of Use acts. Generally criminal statutes mention certain apeclnc acts stating them par ticularly aa constituting a crime. Wnen .wilfully committed, and also gives the rlme a name. This statute Is an ex ception. It merely undertakes to pro vide that any act which grossly dis turbs the public peace or which openly outrages the public decency and la in jurious to public morals, is a crime leav ing the particular acts to be described by the Indictment, defined by the court and found by a Jury, andTBWthis stat ute does not give any name to the crime. In these respects it differs from crim inal statutes generally. Overt Act Alleged. To constitute a crime there must be some overt act or overt resulting act, nd there may be various ways snd man--Siers in which such overt act, or acts, tamay be committed. The overt act al Lasged In this Indictment, as the court reads It. Is In effect that the defendant has maintained a public gaming bouse Ut the common nuisance and annoyance M all good cltlsens, or as the Indict ment puts It. the defendant for gain 'habitually sells pools upon horse races ,' fend habitually procures Idle and evil IB isposed persons to come to his house iVhat Sulphur Does or the Human Body In Health sad ' The mention of sulphur will recall to . many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our .daily (lose of sulphur and molasses ev- 1 wry spring and fall. It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier." tonic and cure-all, and mind you, this old-fashioned remed Was not without merit. V. The Idea was good, but the remedy was crude snd unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any Effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial fleets of sulphur in a palatable, con centrated form, so that a single grain ' m far more effective than a tablespoon : gul of the crude sulphur. f In recent years, research and experi ment have proven that the best sul- ?bur tor medicinal use Is that obtained rom Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) aad Sold In drug stores under the name of Stuart's CaMum Wafers. They are Small chocolate coated pellets and con twin the active medicinal principle of sulphur lu a highly concentrated, effec tive form." " Fsw people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health, Sulphur acts directly on the liver, and isxcretory organs and purines and en Tlches the blood hv the prompt elimina tion of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall, but the crudity Snd impurity of ordinary flowers of sul phur were often worse than the disease and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur of which Stuarts CaMum Wafers Is undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure con stipation and purify the blood In a way that often surprises patient and physi cian alike. Dr. R M Wllklna while experiment ing with sulphur remedies sosn found thst the sulphur from Calcium was an perlor lo any other form. He says ''For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from const! pat Ion or malaria I have been surprised at the result obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from bolls and pimples and even deeu asated carbuncles, I have repeatedly a a en them dry up and disappear In four or Ave days, leaving the sain clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers la a proprietary article, and sold by druggists, snd for that reason tabooed by many physicians, vet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for con stipation, liver and kidney troubles and specially in all forms of skin disease as this remedy." At any rate, people who are tired of Ills, cathartics snd so-called blood puilners. will find in Stuart's t'alrlum Wafers, a far safer, more palatable and nwjUve preparation. to buy pools and to bet upon horse races to the common nuisance and an noyance of all good eltlaens. The question before the court now on demurrer la simply whether any person who for gain habitually sells pools upon horse races, and for gain habitually procures idle and avlt disposed persona to come to nis nouss 10 Duy pools ana to bet on horse races to the common nuisance and annoyance of all good cltl sens, Is committing an act, or acts, either grossly disturbing the public peace or openly outraging public decency and Injurious to public morals.' If such Is the fsct and so found to be by the Jury on the trial, this court thinks constitutes a crime In this state, under Sec. l3ii. and Is punishable aa such This court ss a question or law so holds. Whether such are the facts must be a question to be left to the Jury on the trial to determine, Oamlng Mouses Tempt to Idleness. As defendsnt In his argument and fbrlef has conceded. It Is well settled that where a statute employs words as do scrtptlve of offenses that had a settled meaning at common law, they will be accorded the same meaning In the atat ute; quoting both Endllrh and Suther land on statutory conatruction. It li also a correct principle that In the con Struction of statutes, courts will be aided so far as Is applicable, by the courses, tendencies and principles of the common law and common law de. clslona. Common gsming houses were at com mon law Indictable aa a nuisance, not so much because of any particular descrip tion of crime committed within their walls, but even "because they are temp tatton to Idleness and because they are apt to draw together great numbers- of disorderly persons." Hawk's PI. Cr.. Book 1. Chap. 76 Sec. . And In this Indictment It la alleged that such has occurred the "actual dis turbance" which defendant contends Sec. 1110 means. It Is conceded also that the act charged In the Indictment was an In dictable nuisance at common law. Oam lng houses were Indictable, not only when "actual disturbances" occurred, but also when "actual disturbances" did not really occur, almply because of the Inherent tendency. In themselves, of gaming houses to so operate. This In dictment does not stop with any mere natural tendency of such houses to pro duce disorder, but goes on and alleges that Idle and evil disposed persons ha bitually came to the house at defend ant's procurement and bought pools snd made beta on horse races and all to the common nuisance and annoyance of all good cltlsens, and If a Jury should And such alleged 'actual disturbances" nd "disorderly" conduct occurred In fact, then In law It was sn set grossly disturbing the public peace, under a long line of decisions and authorities. No matter how quiet and orderly a gaming house was. It was still a public and in dictable nuisance at common law, and even Its evil tendencies alone were enough to establish Its status. See State vs. Layman. 6 Har. (10, cited In defendant's brief. ( Oamlng Bowses Indictable Hulsance. It Is claimed that in thla indictment no actual disturbance of the public peace Is charged; but can this Indeed be true? The indictment plainly charges the de fendant with maintaining a common gaming house, which act constituted a disorderly act at common law. and It goea on and charges what. If so found. Is tantamount In law to actual disorder resulting. It Is expressly conceded by the defendant, both In argument and in briefs, that thla Indictment chargea an Indictable nuisance at common law. It Is also expressly conceded that main taining a gaming house Is sn Indictable nuisance at common law, not because of any actually committed offense of In citing actual disturbance of the peace, as committing vice or Immorality or crime, but simply because of the Inherent tendency of such placea to lead to these results, and such evil tendency even msde It ah lndjctahla nuisance, per se. No actual Yfsturbances or other bad re sults were rsslly necessary. Such being conceded, It is not going much further to hold that If actual disturbance, ac cording to common law meaning. Is al leged, that a crime has been charged. Poolrooms Clearing House of Oamblers Thts much of the common law on the subject of public nuisance, this court holds, ss set forth In the Indictment, Is Included In our statute, section 1,9X0, In both Its letter and Its spirit. The courts of thts state though no common law crimes are here punlahable unless made so by statute in construing our stat utes, are not unmindful of the changing forms, but not of substance of gaming and gaming houses and of the rapidly growing prevalence of the new form of race-horse hand book gambling, not merely at race-tracks, but even thou sands of miles distant, and In the very center of business and population and at the very door-steps of the homes of the people of this nation generally. The maintenance of such public houses. In the nsture of clearance houses for gam ing. If resulting as the Indictment chargea. Is certainly much more a dis turbance of the public peace than any mere sending of challenges, or of going srmed to the alarm of the public, or other acta of a similar character which repeatedly have been so held by the au thorities ss constitutes a breach or dls turbance of the public peace and wel fare.
