BOOEMAKERS SURE
OF BEATING THE LAW
Booth Fifteen Inches Be-
yOnd District Line.
NO BETTING TO GO ON THERE
Maryland Statutes Thus Observed.
Bets to Be Made in Open on
District Ground.

If the syndicate of bookmakers who
have established the new poolroom on
the Cabin John Bridge car line. fifteen
inches beyond the District boundary, are
not absolutely immune from punishment
from either the District or Maryland au-
thorities, they are so nearly so that they
are certain of a reasonably long tenure
OF life before the courts can make a
case against them
The plan, which IS said TO have sprung
from the fertile brain and legal knowl-
edge of Attorney Thomas Fields. is well
calculated to evade the law without
breaking it. 1t is easily understood
when explained. The laws of Maryland
forbid gambling, but make no reference
to betting booths or tables. The Dis
trict laws. however. forbid establishing
such booths or tables within the Dis
triot, and also forbid betting or gam
bling within a mile OF the limits of
Washington or Georgetown.
An Ingenious Arrangement.
In order to comply with these several
provisions, the spectators have erected
a booth fifteen inches outside of the
District line. in Montgomery county,
Md, which is open on three sides. There
in are the blackboards, telegraph instru-
ments, and other paraphernalia of such
a place This, they say, is in violation
of no law. Here the information from
the races will be received the horses
and odds posted. and the bettors will
step into the booth TO pick their horses.
They viii then return to the District.
and standing on the ground. in the open.
without booth or table, they Will place
their bets. This is not gambling in
Maryland, say the promoters. Nor is
it betting within a mile of Georgetown,
for it is farther than that 20 the place
where the PooIroom is established.
Cocksure of Their Case.
1t is for these reasons that the pro-
motors display so much confidence and
the police are worrying. Major Sylves-
ter viii have policemen on hand 10
gather data, and then will pass the mat
ter up to United States District Attorney
Beach for his study and decision. TO see
if there is any way by which the police
can take hold of the matter II is ad-
mitted that they are up against a tough
proposition
The new poolroom was scheduled to
open yesterday. There was quite a num-
Der of people who went out to take part
in the initial ceremony, but they were
doomed 30 disappointment They waded
through the dust from the car tracks to
the booth, and sat around on logs and
tree stumps. but the Western Union
Telegraph Company failed to send out
man TO connect the instruments in the
booth with the wires running along the
canal. Detective Watson. Precinct De-
tective Burrows and Mounted Policeman
Law were also present. About 1880
O'Clock Mr.. Holt, of New York, the lead
ing promoter present, announced that
the opening would be postponed until to-
day. and the disappointed crowd came
back 10 the city. II was impressed on
everyone. however. that everything
would be in readiness TODAY

Five Vessels Of Denver
Type Commissioned to
Look After Unavailable
After January 1.
Are Light and Fast. and
Have Sufficient Armament
to Make Them Self-Re-
liant-A Valuable Fleet.

Before January l of next year FIVE yes
sells of a type entirely new to the United
States navy will be commissioned. These
vessels are of the Denver class. They
are light and fast, and are designed 10
prey upon the commerce of an enemy.
Next Monday the Cleveland, the first
OF these vessels completed, will be given
her official trial trip off Boston. Three
weeks later the Denver will have her
trial. The Tacoma is TO be tried about
October /. The Government has taken
charge of the Galveston and Chatta-
nooga. which are almost complete, and
Navy Department officials hope to have
the two vessels ready to be commits
stoned in November.
Losing No Time
The Chattanooga is in the yards of the
Crescent Shipbuilding Company, at Eliz-
abeth. n. ]. AS the company had been
able TO do no work on the vessel for SOW
eral months on account of financial diHi-
eulties, the Navy Department Cancelled
the contract Cor the vessel several
weeks ago and announced that it will
be completed in a Government yard
Similar action was taken concerning the
Galveston, for which Richmond COM
pany had the contract
Naval officers believe the new vessels
will be valuable addition to the navy.
Although they have displacement of
only 5000 tons. they will be able TO
care for themselves on any duty for
which they are designed Their speed
will be seventeen knots an hour Their
hulls are of steel. sheathed and copper
ed. and each will have two masts and
Will be fitted with fore and aft sails.
Each ship Will accommodate twenty-sev-
en- officers and 26S men.
Commercial Scouts.
In some respects the new vessels re-
semble scout ships. but their speed is
not great enough to place them in that
class. The main battery of each vessel
consists of ten 5-inch guns. The sec
ondary battery consists of eight g.
FOUNDER rapid-fre guns. two 1-pounder,
four machine guns. and one field gun.
On account of the Importance of Amer
lean interests on the Pacific Coast. the
South Pacific station will be re-estab-
lished. and squadron of three or four
protected cruisers will be maintained
there. The Cleveland, the Denver, the
Galveston. the Des Moines, and the
Chattanooga will be ordered to the
Southern Pacific, and placed in com
mand of a rear admiral. Hereafter the
Pacific Squadron viii be known as the
North Pacific squadron. 1t Will not go
south of the isthmus, as the new squad
ron will look after all territory below
that point

INDIANS ACCUSE
The COMMISSION
Attorney for the Delawares Begins
a Sensational Suit for $1,000
600 Damages.
Members of the Dawes Commission
Are Directly Accused Of Per-
petrating Frauds.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Justice Anderson
Of the supreme court Of the District Of
Columbia has rendered an opinion in the
injunction proceedings of the Delaware
Indians against Secretary Hitchcock and
the Dawes Indian commission, dissolving
the temporary injunction.
The case involved the right Of the sec
rotary to pass on the $4,000 acres of land
in the Cherokee nation segregated for
the use of the Delawares. The Indians
claimed that the secretary is without au-
thority. to approve or .disapprove Of the
segregation, as 1t had been approved by
the Indians interested, and asked that
he be enjoined against taking such action
pending the adjudication Of the same
question by the court Of claims. Soon
after the case was filed the court granted
a temporary injunction, but Judge Ander-
son has dissolved it.
Soon after the decision was rendered.
Walter S. Logan filed a petition In the
court of claims on behalf of the Della
wares against the United States, asking
that damages be awarded In the sum Of
81, 100000 because OF the expenses to
which the Indians have been subjected in
defending title to their lands.
In this petition they make some sensa-
tional staten ents. One of these accusa-
tions is that members Of the Dawes COM
mission are interested in oil leases and
companies holding leases made upon their
lands by Cherokees claiming title. Men
