Opinion of Department of Justice on
Act of 1883 and Various
Court Decisions.
GAMBLING -sTATGTE, MlsFIT

The law does not prohibit bOokmaking
by the layers of odds on the ponies at
the Benning race track.
This is the conclusion reached by the
Department of Justice after n long and
careful study of the different acts of
Congress regulating gambling in the
District. and also an examination OF the
decisions Of the local courts on the con-
struction and Interpretation OF the law.
Soon after the spring meeting of the
Washington Jockey Club at Berning was
begun, complaint was made 70 District
Attorney Beach that the law prohibiting
gambling in the District was being vio-
lated daily at the race track. The mat
ter was referred by District Attorney
Beach and in turn il was sent back 10
him with instructions to begin a prosecu-
ton against fhe officers of the Wash
ington Jockey Club and a number of the
bookmakers doing business at the Ben
ming race track Warrants were pre-
pared for service on the supposed Of
tenders, when orders were received 10
hold up the prosecutions. So the mat
ter has stood since the close of the Ben
ming meeting.

Departments Opinion.

The position taken by the Department
of Justice. after a careful investigation
of the question, is substantially as fol-
lows:
The betting carried on at Behring'S
race track by the bookmakers: or lay
ers of odds as they are termed by the
racing fraternity. is not prohibited by
statute.
An apparently opposite conclusion
was reached by the Court Of Appeals in
the Miller case. decided in March. 1885.
That was an indictment against a book
maker under the act of Congress Of
January 81. 1883. which forbade the set
ting UP and keeping of a gaming table
OF OF a place for gaming a demurrer
was interposed 70 the Indictment on the
ground that i charged no offense with
in the status. but the demurrer was
overruled. In that case il appeared
that Miller occupied a booth at the race
track in which the bookmaking was
carried on.

The Miller Case.

Analysing the opinion Of the Court
OF Appeals in the Miller case, Judge
bradley said that court, In arriving at
the conclusion that bookmaking was a

b9okmakiug with the booth or place
where the bookmaking was carried on.
This, he said. was brought out by the
reference made by the Court Of Appeals
10 the acts OF ISIS and 1881. which make
IL unlawful TO bet. gamble. or make
books and pools on the result OF any
trotting race or running race Of horses.
or boat race etc, in the cities Of
Washington or Georgetown. or within
one mile thereof
:. The act Of 1888, the Court Of Ap-
peals said. has for its object the sup
preston of gaming tables and places
set up and kept for gambling. and TO
which all persons are invited to resort
for the purpose OF gaming but under
which none but the party VINO keeps
the table or place is liable 10 prOsecu-
ton. But not so under the later acts.
Their object was 10 declare unlawful

fact whether such betting or bookmak-
ing and pool selling be at a gaming ia

DIES AT PASADENA
Rudolph Fischer of ST. Paul
SucCumlbS to Long Illness.

Rudolph Fischer, 695 Dayton avenue,
vice president of the st. Paul Rubber
company, died Friday evening at Pas
adena, Cal, of an illness from which he
had been suffering during the past two
years. Mr.. Fischer, with his wife and
two youngest children, went to Califor-
MIA in February, but the change in
climate did not restore his health.
Mr.. Fischer was thirty-six years old
and was born and raised in St. Paul
He was son of Louis Fischer, an old
settler of the city and at one time al
derman Of the Fourth ward.
He leaves widow, who was formerly
Miss Mamie Fink, of st. Paul, and
three children, two daughters, one aged
twelve years, who is at present at
school at Prairie du Chen, Wis, an
other daughter six years old and a son
four years old. A sister, Miss Ida
Fischer and a brother, Albert Fischer
also survive him. The body will be
brought to st. Paul for burial The
funeral arrangements have not yet
been made.
Albert Fischer, president of the Rub
Der company, received a telegram late
Thursday night announcing that his
brother had been seized with a sinking
spell and he started for Pasadena Fri
day morning, but death won in the
race. Mr.. Fischer was notified of the
death of his brother while en- route
and will proceed to Pasadena, where he
will take charge of the remains.

WATER TELLS TALE
Breaks Through Boulevard and
Reveals Broken Main.

The case of a water main being
out the knowledge of the officials of
the water department was brought to
light Friday when a small geyser broke
through the boulevard on Crocus place.
Supt. Lindquist was notified as soon
as the water shooting up through the
sod was discovered, and men were i'm
mediately put to work to repair the
pipe
The break was remedied yesterday
afternoon, and the water, which had
been shut off in the main between
Paramount and Goodrich avenues, on
Dale, was turned on. While the men
We're working. overnight and yester
day, ten houses were deprived of their
water supply.
1.-The break was peculiar one" said
Secretary John Caulfeld, of the water
board yesterday. at must have been
frozen about three months ago, when
we had a great deal of extremely cold
weather that sent the frost below the
level of our pipes. AS the break was
located in spot where it did not in
terfere with anyone's water supply, we
received no knowledge of it's existence
till the water was discovered coming up
through the ground.
"Crocus place curves between Dale
street and ST. Adams, and the main is
fed from both ends. consequently tho
frozen spot did not affect the circula-
ton in the rest of the pipe. The break
was near Dale street, and did not stop
the flow of water through the outlet on
st. Adams street
LAS the pipe was frozen until the
spring thaw set in a few weeks ago,
it is not likely that we lost a large
quantity of water. It is possible that
the pipe was only recently thawed out,
and that the water which percolated to
the surface was the first that escaped
through the break
1.-The water must have taken a slant
Ing course upwards, for 1t broke
through on the boulevard, instead of
the street. I cannot remember a SINH
lar instance to have occurred during
the past twenty-five years. In most
cases where mains are broken our at
tention is Immediately called to them
by consumers whose water Is shut off,"

UNABLE TO SAVE WIFE
FROM POTTER'S FIELD
Unfortunate Man Fears She May Not
Receive Decent Burial.

At the office of the board Of control
yesterday afternoon r. A. Smith, a
Woodworking man, was speaking about
the funeral of his wife. She had died
yesterday morning of consumption at
the city hospital after two weeks ILL
ness, leaving him with two young chill
dren and no money. He said: II would
like my wife to have a decent burial"
The man made no special request. He
was apparently unwilling that the
county should aid him, but, as he ex-
planned, it would be hard for him to
buy enough food for his children; he
was without friends; he could get no
credit. He asked what the county
burial would be.
well, generally" answered a mat
er-of-fact clerk, 1--WE provide a pine
coffin, though it's usually stained
with some dark color. And 1 think
there's a white shroud, if the bodys
clothes aren't good enough. And the
box is taken out to the potter's field in
the wagon whenever our men can get
time that day. Of course, there isn't
any services or singing or flowers. But
it's all we can do"
Yes, 1 suppose it is" the man an
swered. But 1 never thought she
would be buried like that never
thought it."
Before going away he inquired if the
clerk could guess about what time
Sunday it would be-" I'D like" he
said, ito carry the babies out to her
grave, if it's not too far"

MAN OF DOUBLE
LIFE is EXPOSED
Board of Trade Clerk Confesses Rob-
berry and Probable Murder.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, April 9.-The fatal shoot
ing, early this morning, of Walter G.
Siebert, a druggist, by three bandits
has brought to light a local DR.. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde; q quiet, respectable
board of trade clerk by day and a rob
Der and murderer by night. Stephen
Quinn and John Liston were arrested
and have made written confessions
of the crime. A third man is being
sought by the police. Both men, in their
statements, admit being members of
the trio of bandits that held up and
shot the druggist, but both declare that
the man who fired the shot that fatally
wounded the pharmacist was John
Donahue, a. clerk for Armour & Co.,
who has been out of work for some
time.
Quinn, who is a settlement clerk
working for a Board of Trade firm, and
Liston, who is We'll known to the po-
lice, were positively identified by Sic
bert, who is lowering at the verge of
death at the Michael Reese hospital.
The confession of Quinn has created
profound sensation in Englewood,
where he resides He has a wife and
three children, and has always borne
an excellent reputation as a law-abid-
ing citizen. He says his downfall is
due to an attempt to break the races.
He says he took half holiday and met
Liston and Donahue in RED Light"
saloon, where they played the hand
books, gambled at cards, drank and
then decided to go out and hold up the
druggist. When he obeyed their order
to go to the rear of the store they shot
him in the back.
