The District Court of Appeals yesterday
rendered sensible and satisfactory de-
cision in the bookmaking case, which was
sent up for an opinion as to whether or
rot the act of 1891 forbidding bookmaking
within one mile of the city revokes the act
of 1883 prohibiting games of chance within
the District The decision will undoubtedly
lead to the eradication of a menacing evil
from the District of Columbia. The pres
ent tendency of the race course makes
bookmaking more a game of chance each
season, and horse racing, as 1t is now con-
Quoted, Is little else than gambling pure
and simple. An intelligent enforcement of
the two acts in question. that of 1883 and
that of 1891, will do much toward making
the District a most desirable place of resi-
dence, and the decision of the court will
strengthen the hands of the law officers of
the city materially. The decision is of the
greater Importance because of the fact that
1t may possibly be decided that Alexander
Island Is part of the District, and the
operation of the act of 1883 coupled with
that of 1891 would unquestionably tend to
abate speedily this public nuisance. If
Alexander Island Is really a part of the
District the question of how to root out the
den of gamblers gathered at the race track
and at Jackson City will, In the light of
the decision Of the Court of Appeals yes
terday, be easy of solution.

The New York police force has been a
subject of scandal for so many months
that there is little that Is startling In the
presentment yesterday by the extraordin-
airy grand jury in that city of q large batch
CT indictments against officers of the metro
politan police, accompanied by scathng
criticism of the entire system, with pointed
reference to Superintendent Byrnes. Public
interest in the metropolis is quite acute for
1t was believed that perhaps the work of
the Lexow committee having endeI and a
few trials had in court of certain suspected
captains, little else would be done. 1t now
appears that the Lexow investigation was
but the foundation of an extensive over
hauling of the personnel of the force, and al
though the names of the indicted officers are
kept secret enough is now known to warrant
the belief that there will be great many
vacancies soon created high in the ranks.
The rames of several captains and one of
the inspectors are freely printed now as
shrewd guesses as to the identity of some
of the indicted officers. 1t is evident that
the grand jury went at its work with I'M
usual care fully aware of the difficulty of
obtaining trustworthy evidence. In answer
to the criticism directed at the mead OF the
force, Superintendent Byrnes declares that
he Is not such in effect, and reiterates his
assertion that he has been handicapped by
the board of commissioners in his efforts
to obtain an honest org inization. Whoever
Is most responsible for the existing evil
conditions good citizens In New York and
elsewhere have ample cause for congratu-
lating themselves upon the prospect that
this mass of corruption and infamy will be
scattered and disinfected.

A novel strike has just succeeded in New
York, but under somewhat peculiar condi.
lions that take it out of the ordinary run
OF labor agitations. The six ladies Of unu-
sual avoirdupois who indulge in frequent
alleged bicycle races at a dime museum for
the delectation of the throngs of amuse-
ment-seekers recently determined that the
exercise was not conducive to corpulence
and that their market value as freaks was
being reduced with each turn of the wheels
30 they held what was truly a mass meet
iEg, with an aggregate of $3.50 pounds, and
struck for less races daily. The owner of
the establishment referred them to their
own manager. Fortunately for the enter
prise the manager was also the husband of
one Of the freaks, SO she undertook the
rest of the campaign herself, and, out
weighing her lighter half five to one, she
succeeded. Not only were the races re-
duced. but abolished altogether, and now
the half dozen cases of exceeding girth are
exhibited without bicycle accomplishments
Great Is the power of organization. The
zeal secret of success in this case, however,
was the fact that the strikers practically

1t Is officially promulgated that the new
quarters of the District government Oh
Louisiana avenue need changing before
they can be occupied by the silent trium-
virate. But there is evidently something
wrong In the plans or perhaps the reporter
misunderstood the secretary-censor, who is
quoted as saying that more windows must
be cut into the Walker building before it
Is fit for use. More windows? Windows
mean light and air and freedom. These
are strange elements to be considering,
now that the District offices have become
the home of the yelled prophet, the site of

the ideal home for the District government

Gen. Casey adds his protest to those of
the other members of the Rock Creek Park
Commission against the pollution of the
waters of that stream by the sewage Of
Kensingtor, Md. He declares that the use
of the creek by the citizens of that village
as an outlet for their sewer will menace
the health of those citizens Of the District
who live near the banks of the creek and
the sewage cannot fail to be deposited on
the banks from the fluctuations of the level
which win render the beautiful park unde-
sirable for visitors. Gen. Casey's reasons
for his objection are sound and are based
upon his own intimate knowledge of such
matters. If Rock Creek were deep. swift
stream. he says. it would be possible that
the scheme of the Kensington committee
might be permissible. but in the present
condition of the creek the plan is altogether
out of the question. There Is vigor in Gen.
Casey's declaration that he will support
any steps to prevent the pollution Of the
waters of the creek. He is good fighter,
but his opinion as an engineer should settle
the question and render further proceed
ings unnecessary.
A resident of Kensington, in a communi-
cation to The Star, defends the proposed
pollution of the creek as being in view of
the size of kensington such a small affair.
and calls upon Washington to remove the
beam" of urban sewer contamination of
the lower creek before applying itself to
Kensington's mote" Kensington's case Is
a precedent. II in addition 20 utilizing the
creek for natural surface drainage, which
Is of course, inevitable in view of the
topography of the county, that town can
convert the stream into an open sewer.
other towns In the upper valley can do the
same. and as these settlements become
thickly populated the creek will be made
to resemble more and more the James
Creek or Rock Creek itself within the limits
of Washington. The capital Is working to
abate the nuisance of urban Rock Creek
1t will either be arched over, or else re-
lieved from sewage by intercepting sewers.
One of the main purposes of the creation
OF Rock Creek Park was to preserve from
contamination the waters of this stream
as far as the District limits. Washington
does not intend. If 1t can prevent, that its
labors and expenditures for the reclamation
and protection of Rock Creek for so much
OF its course shall be made of no avail by
the sewage pollution of the streams upper
aters. The capital is removing its own
'beam," and 1t applies itself to kensing-
toms mote" in order that the latter may
not grow into beam"
