THE POOLROOMS
MUST Be CLOSED
Judge Wallace Sounded
Their Death Knell
Yesterday.
John Glynn Was Promptly Re.
manded to the Custody of
Sheriff Whelan.
Judgs Campbe.l's Decision Was Upheld
and the Ordinance Was Cordially
Commended.

Judge Wallace yesterday delivered an
opinion sustaining the conviction of Pool
seller John Glynn by Police Judge Camp
bell. This is hard blow at the down
town poolrooms, and if the law be enforced
by the police. all such resorts will be
closed iii short order.
Judge Wallace declared that Judge
Campbell did exactly right in convicting
Glynn, and said that the penalty of 500
fine was not excessive, so the defendant
will have to pay or go to Jail, and in the
meantime if he persist in pursuing his
business OF poolselling he will lay himself
liable TO further punishment.
The ordinance under which Glynn was
prosecuted was passed by the Supervisors
OF this City about two months ago, and it
was decided to make Glynn's case a test
case, as about oozen other trials i'll the
Police Court are still pending, for the pur-
pose OF securing Judge Wallace's ruling in
regard TO the consIitutionality OF the
enactment
Judge Wallace said that the ordinance
was not only constitutional and valid, but
that its merits from the standpoint of
public policy are such that it com mends
itself to tho approval OF the courts and the
community.
The ordinance was drawn to circumvent
all the lake pretensions of the downtown
booksellers that they were collecting COM
missions for placing bets on the races at
lngleslde, when, in TACT, no such trans
actions were possible, but even If the
placing OF such bets had not been pre-
vented by the managers of the racet-ack,
yet the ordinance was sufficient 10 sup
press these clandestine deadfalls that have
been the ruin of so many young men and
bows.
Attorney Dunno argued on behalf of the
defendant that the new ordinance was
oppressive and unjust, as he thought it
deprived his clients of the privilege of
conducting lucrative business which the
constitution of the State allowed them to
carry on.
Judge Wallace thought there was no
merit in this contention. He held that
the power of the community 10 enact and
enforce proper police regulations cannot
be legally disputed, and said that in this
case there was no ground for disturbing
the Judgment of the court below. The
prisoner was therefore remanded to the
custody of the Sheriff.
The courtroom was full of booksellers
and their cappers when Judge Wallace
started to give his opinion, but they
quickly perceived the drift OF his re-
marks and, foreseeing the conclusion that
he was about 10 announce, they began to
leave, so that by the time the remarks OF
the court were finished the only friends of
Glvnn left to Stand by him were his law
yers and Bailiff Curtis who stood ready to
give HIM safe conduct TO Jail.
