LONDON, July 17th. Remarkable figures were given by the Controller of the Central Telegraph Office before the Betting Commission.
Of 30,000,000 telegrams passing through London, 2,500,000, he said, related to horse mcing, the figures for the whole country being 12,000,000 and 5,000,000, respectively.
Post Office rules forbade the staff from gambling, whether on or off duty.
The system of timing telegrams was so perfect that people were discouraged from indulging in illegal betting by telegraph.

A piquant fact is that the Morning Post itself frequently sits anti-Jewish views, and the alleged libel was published in this con
nection.
Lord Alfred Douglas, cross-examined, admitted that he had referred in his weekly: to Mr. Churchill as the Cabinot. Minister. who had drawn up a falsa Jatland report, thereby causing a temporary fall in stocks, and who had spent a week-end with Sir Ernest Cussell.
Mr. Churchill, giving evidence, char acterised as an absolute lia from beginning to end the suggestion that Sir E. Cassell or anyone else gave him a farthing for anything whatever.
The late Sir E. Cassell's accountant gave evidence that there was no vestige of truth in the auggestion that Sir E. Cassell made anything out of the Jutland despatches.
The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, and one farthing damages.
