WANTED LICENSE REVOKED.
Charges Made Against Management Of
Rollins Park.

D. c. Fountain. secretary of the East
Washington Heights Citizens Association,
recently wrote to the Commissioners stat
ing that complaint had been made Of the
gatherings at Rollins Park He requested
that any license which may have been
granted to the proprietor of the place be
revoked and no further permits issued.
The matter was referred to the assessor.
Mr.. Darneille. for report. He has returned
the papers with the statement that
license was issued for an entertainment in
the park July 3, 1903. and a second license
issued for the Bowen Road Pleasure Club
August 10.
This Is not a regularly licensed park"
says Mr.. Darneille. land licenses must he
procured for each entertainment held there
in. Under the decision of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia the as
SCISSOR has no discretion to refuse to issue
licenses upon applications therefor except
in cases where the law specifically attaches
some proviso to the issuing of licenses,
which Is not the case with respect to
licenses for entertainments. If the patrons
of this park disturb the peace and quiet of
the neighborhood, 1t seems to me that they
could be handled by the police"
Commissioner mcfarland has moved that
the writer be informed in accordance with
this report and that the papers be referred
to the police department for its informa-
ton.

device adapted, devised and designed for
the purpose Of playing any game of chance

tfce and permit any person to bet or play at
or upon any such gaming table or gambling
device, or on the side of or against the
keeper thereof shall be punished by imprs-
onment for a term of not more than five
years."
The definition Of a gaming table is given
in section S6S. which reads:
"All games, devices or contrivances at
which money or any other thing shall be
bet or wagered shall be deemed a gaming
table within the meaning of these sec
lions, and the courts shall construe the
preceding sections literally, SO as to pre-
vent the mischief intended to be guarded
against"
Owner or Occupant.
Another section provides a penalty for
the owner or occupant of property who
knowingly permits any gaming table
bank or device to be set up or used for the
purpose of gaming in any house, building,
vessel. shed. booth shelter, lot or other
premises to him belonging or by him occu-
pied. or of which at the time he has DOS
session or control"
The penalty for violation Of this section
Is imprisonment in jail for not more than
one year or a fine of $500 or both.
Under the heading pool selling and so
FORTH section 500 says:
1T shall be unlawful for any person or
association Of persons in the cities of Wash
ington and Georgetown, in the District of
Columbia. or within said District within one
mile of the boundaries of said cities. to bet
gamble. or make books or pools on the re-
suit of any trotting race or running race-of
horses. or boat race. or race Of any kind or
on any election or any contest of any kind,
or game of base ball. Any person or asso-
citation of persons violating the provisions
Of this section shall be fined not exceeding
$500 or be imprisoned not more than ninety
days. or both"
The police will probably make an effort
to prosecute the promoters of the new en-
terprise under section S65. which refers to
gambling games and devices, but does not
mention horse racing.
