ATTACHED MONEY
HELD FOR VICTIMS.
Hot Springs, Dec. 8.—The sum of
$35,000, the property of the men now
in jail here on a charge of having
pulled off the recent foot race where
by, it is alleged, Howard Bland of
Texas lost $12,000, has been attached
by the law officers. After a confer
ence the officers issued a statement

notifying any persons who might have
lost money on foot races at Joplin,
Mo., Denver, Colo., or in any other
section, that the sum of money as
mentioned is held subject to the
claims of those, if any, who can come
and identify the men as having gotten
it from them. The officers hold out a
promise to use their best efforts to
have the money refunded to any es
tablished claimants, if it is proved to
be not the rightful property of the
men now in jail here.
Three other arrests were made to
day in the case. Howard Bland, the
prosecuting witness, who left a day or
two ago, is on his way back to the
city and will be detained as a state’s
witness.

A
WOULD MAKE KISSING ILLEGAL.
If the bill introduced in the Virginia
Legislature by Dr. R. R. Ware, of
Amherst county, becomes a law, in
that state sweethearts cannot kiss
each other without a physician’s
certificate pronouncing them free
from all diseases without paying from
$1 to $5 for each osculation. The bill
reads:
Whereas, Kissing has been decided
by the medical profession to be a
medium by which contagious and in
fectious diseases are transmitted from
one person to another, and whereas,
the prohibiting of such an offense will
be a great preventive to the spreading
of such diseases as pulmonary tuber
culosis, diptheria and many other
dangerous diseases; therefore, be it
enacted by the General Assembly of
Virginia. That it shall be unlawful
for any person to kiss another unless
he can prove by his family physician
that he has not any contagious or in
fectious disease; if the physician testi
fies that the defendant has weak lungs
he shall be found guilty of a misde
meanor, and the same penalty shall
be imposed as if he had some con
tagious or infectious disease. Any
person violating the provisions of the
first and second sections of this act
shall be deemed guilty of a misde
meanor and fined not less than $1 nor
more than $5 for each offense.
