"MONTE CARLO'' POOL SELLERS.
To Escape Penalties Under the New
Law They Move to the Virginia Side.

There seems to be no disposition on the part
OF the book makers and pool sellers At Monte
Carlo" to test the new law which went into
enect today. and consequently there win not
be the usual gathering Of gamblers and hang
ers-on about Florida avenue and 7th street,
across the, city boundary line. Until few
months ago pool selling was carried on within
and outside the city limits at several places.
but Congress enacted a law prohibiting the
sale In the city Of pools on races or anything
else. That law was evidently passed TO confine
betting on the races to the race tracks and
during the trials Of speed, but after the pas
sage of the law tho pool rooms were moved just
across tho boundary line, and there were SO
many such establishments located in the same
neighborhood that the settlement was
cHRIsrESED MONTE CARLO"
The places were conducted in an orderly
manner, but they attracted large crowds of
sporting men and some disreputable charac-
tiers and led to the establishment in their
vicinity Of cheap whisky saloons. The law did
not rid the jurisdiction of the pool rooms. as
Congress evidently intended it should, and 1t
was found necessary to enact another law,
which prohibits the business in the District
altogether, except at the race tracks and then
only during the races. The Monte Carlo book
makers have therefore

City comprises a small area OF low land, on

ton by the Virginia authorities.

gamblers can reach there without much

STAR, by. the committee on accounts. The
charges are that Wheat required the con-
tractor who carried the mails from the House
to the post Office to pay him ESQ per month
month from the contract price; also that tho
postmaster has on the rolls at cleo per month
Mr.. Bradley, who is employed in the Govern
mcnt Printing Office and that Bradley pays
SOS of it to Mr. Wheats son.
Mr. Wheat was first called to the stand. He
acknowledged the contract which was entered
into last December. Later he became con-
WINGED that the $50 per month was not a legal
perquisite, and after taking advice he covered
the entire sum he had received-s75O into the
Treasury. Subsequently the contrac. was
given to another party at $4,000 per year In
stead Of 5000 az formerly.
Henry Culbertson, the contractor, was the
next witness. He had, lie said. carried the
mails for the previous postmaster. Mr.. Dalton,
and had not paid him any sum for the privi-
lege. He was Dalton's brother.in-law. He
had paid the $50 per month to Whea.'s son
Walter
Mr.. Edward Mcpherson. the clerk of the
House, was next called to the witness stand.
He testified in effect that Mr. Wheat had come
to his Office with Mr. Richard ]. Bright to see
HIM some time in May last. Mr.. Wheat showed
him the certificate of payment Of the $3.50 into
the United States treasury; He also testified
that when he learned Of the existence OF the
conditions of the contract he refused to sign
the receipt for the June payment to the con-
tractor. as he did not regard 1t as legal. Wit
ness had spoken to several persons abou. the
matter.

The Howard University Endowmen

President Rankin of Howard University says:
The bill for the further endowment OF the law
department Of Howard University wholly orig
mated with Senators Evarts and Edmunds, the
latter of whom has been so active in securing
books for the law library. When first sug-
gested to President Rankin and Dean Leighton
they hesitated lest it should awaken jealOuses
among other departments OF the institution, or
among other institutions. But when insistance
was made that the work Of the law department
was so necessary and unique, that this fear was
needless the officers consented to approve the
measure
