SLOT MACHINES]

Karabell Assails Them as Menace to Children: Finds Druggists Guilty.

“Slot machines are nothing but

one-armed bandits, a great evil influence on children who lose their spending pennies in them, and they : should be destroyed. The player has no chance.” So saying, Municipal Court Judge Charles Karabell today: found two guilty of violating the anti-

persons slot machine laws, suspended a $25

and costs fine in each case, but ordered the machines destroyed. “I am trying to get rid of them,” Judge Karabell said, “and I wiil order destroyed any that ‘come within jurisdiction of this court.”

Continuance Is Granted

Harry Allen, proprietor of a drug store at 3018 E. 10th-st, and Milburn Dierdortf, proprietor of a drug store at 2401 E. 10th-st, were found guilty. : Marvin Limeberry, proprietor of a drug store at 2102 E. 10th-st, asked for a continuance on similar charges and trial was set for Sept. 10. Police also raided a restaurant at 2202 E. 10th-st, and said they found “a l-cent target slot machine which they confiscated.
