In answer to your communication of thoSiitli ask in it my opinion relative to sonaUi bio IW the gam bling hct prohibiting from soiling pools nt the races for jour fair , 1 will say that thFs now net amends sections SU nnd 315 ot our criminal code. There has been a report that the new law hail no enoctiUK clause , but thlti is n mistake , and 1 know of no good reason \vliy thn law Is not n good nnd valid one. Section 'JU , as amended , makes It unlawful for any person to piny nt nny game whatever for money , or bet nny inonov upon any ginning table , bank or device prohibited by law , or at or upon any other gambllne device , or xxho shall bet on nny irnnio plnyed at , or by moans of any such game , table or gambling device , shall bo punished by n rine of from S100 to S.iOO , or Imprisoned In the peniten tiary not more than one j car. 1 do not un derstand that selling pools will come within thu dclinilion of a game , tumbling table , gambling bank , or gambling device , but tha old law xvas n direct piohlbitlon ngnlnst making nny bet or warer. Hut the now act lepeals the old section and 1 do not understand thnt the now net operates aunlnst selling pools. If the new net had been madu to prohibit n person from betting , it would have been so ex pressed. Either the language of the old law would have been inserted or words equiva lent thereto ; and trom n fair construction of the law ns now in torce , It prohibits people trom Keeping gumnling houses nnd gambling tnbles , banks or devices , nnd nlso prohibits persons from betting any money or property ot vnluo upon any such gambling table , nnd I do not believe that the law was made to piohlblt pool selllni ? .
