ALL RAFFLES ARE
IN VIOLATION OF
MS JUDGE
Law Is Violated Every Day in
Hundreds of Best Cigar and
Drug Stores According to
Recorder’s Ruling
•‘Any riffle is a irime of chance and
a technical violation of the law, and
the promoters are liable to arrest. A
raffle of any aort in a cigar or drug store
violates a city ordinance and should not
be allowed." Such was the statement
made by Recorder Nash R. Broyles on
Saturday morning, when shown a
"chance card" such as hundreds of drug
and cigar stores in the city are using
dally.
The card was brought to the recorder
by Police Captain Beavers to whom It
had been handed by a well known drug
gist, who thought that he was not vio
lating the law, but wanted to be cer
tain.
"The chance card" displayed in the
court room was similar to the many at
present In use in the city. A number
was placed under a seal at the top of
the card, and there were 14 other num
bers which customers were to draw, pay
ing according to the number, from 1 to
14 cents for the chance. The winning
number was good for a package of to
bacco, valued at $1.05, and the other 13
numbers brought the holders nothing.
The same kind of-a card is used with
candy, fountain pens, boxes of cigars
or anything else the dealer chooses as
the prise.
Th* city ordinance, which is violated
by the use of such' cards is numbered
l.«sn, and provides against the Install
ment in any place of business In the city
of any kind of a device of chance, which
may be used tl induce and atimuiate
trade. This section, until the ruling made
by the recorder on Saturday, was gen
erally supposed to deal only with slot
machines, dice rolling, wheels of chance,
but now according to the recorder's in
terpretation. it provides against drawing
a number where there Is an element of
chance.
In a number of drug and cigar stores,
cards like the ones described above have
been used, the player picking his num
ber by throwing dice. In event this is
done, the player as well as the dealer or
proprietor is liable to arrest. If the dice
are not used, however, it is only the
"man behind.'* who violates the law.
When told that a number of charitably
inclined ladies in some of the best
churches in the city have been In the

MCURDY RISKS HIS LIFE
TO MAKE DARING SAIL
AS WIND WHIPS CRAFT
MOBILE. Ala., Nov. 26.-J. A. D. Mc-
Curdy. of the Curtiss aviation team, at
the meet in Mobile, gave two flights yes
terday afternoon under more difficult con
ditions than have yet been experienced in
Mobile. While he did not reach an alti
tude of over BO feet on either occasion.
McCurdy risked his life more so than at
any time since coming here. The handi
cap was because of wind conditions.
The wind blow in puffs and affected the
bl-planes just as a squall affects small
boats. It was exceedingly dangerous.
During McCurdy's first flight he made but
one trio around the field. He concluded
it was too dangerous. During the flight
ganlzation, the recorder stated this also
was a violation of the law.
"A raffle." said Judge Broyles, "is on
the order of the old Louisiana state lot
tery, and is a technical violation of the
law. whatever the purpose or the gain.
"When g person pays money for some
thing that he stands only a chance of
receiving it constitutes gaming, and is
subject to prosecution under the laws
prohibiting gaming. I don't believe, how
ever t that a case against anyone except
the person conducting the raffle would
be upheld by the courts.*
In speaking to Captain Beavers Satur
day morning, the recorder stated that
he thought that the proprietors of the
drug and cigar stands in the habit of
raffling articles, should be first warned
before a case against them is made,
nnd he indicated that if any of the pro
prietors continued to raffle articles after
they have received a fair warning, ho
is ready to try the cases.

his bl-plane, several times caught in
puffs of wind, dropped 20 feet.
Descending because of the wind, the
aviator remained on the ground for an
hour. Many of the spectators who did
not understand the conditions became
impatient. After waiting an hour, how
ever, McCurdy, becoming convinced that
the wind conditions would remain practi
cally the same during the afternoon,
made anottag flight at top speed. He
reached of his previous
flight and after encircling the fleld a
couple of times descended to the ground.
The aviator experienced the same diffi
culty he had the first time and the
flights for the afternoon were
abandoned. Spectators were notified
that rain checks would be ac
cepted today. Augustus Post, Mc-
Curdy's companion, was unable to make
a flight. Hlg machine is a 25-horsepowpr
and could not stand the wind. The Largest
crowd that has yet attended the aviation
meeting assembled on Jhe grounds. The
holiday was responsible for the large at
tendance, for it was the first opportunity
many people, had had of seeing the
flights.
Eugene Ely, aviator, who this week
gave exhibitions at Birmingham, arrived
in Mobile yesterday to spend Thanksgiv
ing with his friend. Aviator J. A. D. Mc-
Curdy, the latter now engaged in Curtiss’
exhibitions here. It has been arranged
that if the consent of Augustus Post is
obtained for Ely to use his machine, Ely
will today race McCurdy ten miles. The
event will be a feature, the regular pro
gram being carried in addition.
The race depends, however, upon wind
conditions.

Nature has provided the animals
that chew the cud, as cows, sheep,
deer, camels, ate., with four
stomachs. When these animals
eat grass or hay it is chewed but
little and goes into the paunch or
finst stomach, which in a cow has
the capacity of a barrel. The ani
mal then brings the food up from
the paunch and re-chews it and
now it goes to the third stomach,
often called manypiles. It is made
up of folds with rough surfaces
arranged so that the food must
pass back and forth several times
and be ground still more. From
here the food passes to the fourth
stomach, where digestion takes
place- This fine provisiop for
grinding the food enables these
animals to live on hay and grass.
The second stomach is used for
holding water. It has a honey
comb structure. In the comb each
cell ie as large as a cup and closes
when full of water, only giving it
up as required.
Grain should be fed with rough
age, as then it goes into the flAt
stomach akd will be re-chewed. If
the grain re eaten alone it is apt
to go to the third stomach and
so miss the re-ohewlng. To make
sure that the feed is thoroughly
chewed feed it with roughage.
The best way is to cut the hay
or straw, mix the grain feed with
it, then it will go through the
whole grinding process.

If you must plant your orchard

are essential in the extremely cold
climates of the north unless the
orchard is very well protected

Although many orchardists de
clare that cultivation is the only
thing, we believe that where an
orchard is doing well and keeps in

is best to leave it so until there
is a noticeable deterioration.

LIGHT IS THROWN ON ,
KILLING OF KAFFIRS
Labor Disputes Arose in South
Africa Leading to Drastic
(Special Cable to The Journal).
BERLIN, Nov. 26.—A strange light
fa thrown on the killing of a score of
Transkei Kaffirs, who were, of course,
British subjects in southwest Africa, by
the papers which have just arrived here
from the colony. The German south
west African Times gives the follow
ing account of the occurrence, which
took place at Wilhelmsthal, on the line
between Karlbib and Windhoek:
“These Kaffirs are big strong work
men, but rather exacting, and conse
quently difficult to handle. They are,
so we are informed, under long con
tracts with monthly wages. They are
unu.rstood to have received wages for
the first three months in advance. When
the next payments became due the de
ductions for sickness and Sundays are
said to have given the first occasion
for dissatisfaction and Blight disturb
ances.
“In order to deal with the increas
ing strikes of entire columns, the works
management at last adopted the sharp
measure of withholding rations and
what was still more drasQc, water. This
measure of the management led to the
jeopardizing of the whole neighborhood,
and especially of the farmers.
DISPUTES ARISE.
“On October 4 disputes again arose
between the laborers and the white over
seers, and, it is alleged, degenerated in
to acts of violence. It is also said that
a policeman who was about to arrest one
of the ringleaders was assaulted. This
was the occasion for the calling in of
the Sixth company under Captain Wil
lecke, which was engaged in the neigh
borhood to protect the threatened offi
cials. The Kaffirs were armed with
kiris, sticks, and loaded cudgels, are
stated to have now attacked the sol
diers so that there was nothing for the
latter to do but to make use of their
weapons, in the first place of bayonets.
“Shooting is understood to have been
resorted to subsequently. The result
was 14 dead and a larger number of
seriously and slightly wounded on the
side of the blacks.
“The Kaffirs in question were employ
ed by the firm of Orenstein & Koppel,
which has contracted for the construc
tion of the line between Karibib and
Windhoek. Until the above account
w’as received the German press has
shown a vpry marked Inclination to re
sent the British desire for investigation
of this affair.
"In fact, the usually fair-minded Vos
sische Zeitung declared that the British
government, In asking the consul at
Luderltz bay to report upon it, was
being false to the solidarity which
whites ought to show against blacks.**
