AWAITED WITH INTEREST.
Decision in Pool Room Case to Be Rem
dered Tomorrow.

The outcome of the hearing in the st.
Asaph pool room case, which is to be held
at Manassas tomorrow before Judge
Nicol is awaited with much interest by
people in Alexandria county, Va, and In
this city. Handbook men who have been
nut out of business in this city because
of the war against them by the police are
earnestly hoping that the decision viii
he favorable to the sporting element. The
case is to come up tomorrow upon mo-
ton made by counsel for the alleged
bookmakers to prevent the prosecution of
their clients before Magistrate Hagan. A
Temporary writ of prohibition was issued
against the magistrate at the time the
matter was called to the attention Of the
court.
IT ia stated to be the intention of Com
monwealths Attorney Mackey to contest
every point raised in the case, and he
feels confident that he will win. 1t is said
that the fact that the pool room is now
closed will not have any bearing on the
case. Should the questions involved be
decided against the petitioners an early
hearing of the cases before the magis-
trate will be asked for.
The crusade against the alleged gam
bling places Monday by a posse of citi-
zens of the county, as printed In Tues
days Star, did more good, 1T is said, to-
ward breaking up the gambling places in
the county tnan all the arrests tndI nave
been made in a dozen years. One of the
alleged gamblers was asked what he in
tended to do after Mondays display, and
his response was that he will remain on
this side of the river. Unemployed pool
room operatives have been very much in
evidence about the city since the wires
were taken out and since the local police
declared war on hand-books. 1t Is said
some of them are seeking quarters in
Maryland on the Conduit road and that
games are already In operation there.

ANARCHISTS IN CHARGE.
Convicts at Dalny Relieved Before the
Japs Arrive.

London cable says. The Times CORE
spondent at Chefu cables:
During the interval of thirty hours be-
tween the Russian evacuation of Dalny and
the Japanese occupation anarchy prevailed.
The local Chinese officials allowed the prts-
on to be forced, with the result that about
900 cutthroats had the run of the town.
Some time will be required to make
the ports of Dalny and Talienwan safe TOR
shipping to enter. as the San Shantao Is
lands have been connected very skilifully
with the mainland by mines zgzaggins over
a large field. The damage to the Russian
works ashore is insignificant. The japanese
have much railway material on the way.
There is no information as to the rate
of the Russian gunboat and four transports
which were IN Talienwan bay during tn9
ba tile of Kin Chow. 1t Is just possible that
the Bobr slipped away during the night OK

A dispatch from st. Louis last night says
Miss Alice Roosevelt, who admired peau-
tifuI miniature watch in the French ex-
htbit Tuesday with the result that the
French commissioner, M. Lagrave, pre-
scented 1t to her, visited the German section
of the varied industries building today.
While admiring some carved work COM
missioner Lewald, not to be outdone by the
gallant Frenchman, offered her a panel.
which she accepted. AS she was about 10
leave, taking the panel with her, she was
stopped by customs official, who told her
that she could not accept the gift, as duty
had not yet been paid on 1t. She blushed,
apologized and was rescued by Commits
sioner Lewald, who promised to forward
the panel to her after the duty has Deen
paid.
The strenuous pace which Miss Roose-
welt has set and maintained since her ar
rival here last week has proven too mucn
for her travelling companion, Miss Alice
Warder of Washington. who returned 10
her home this morning worn out with the
rounds Of social gaiety and exertion. MISS
.Warder became. indisposed last Sunday.
Miss Roosevelt put In another busy DAY

pavilion sightseeing at the fair, recep-

found the fair and st. Louis hospitality
that she has prolonged her stay inden-
nitely.

ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
Case Of Alleged Violation Of Local OPP
ion Before Judge Motter.
of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, June 2, 1904.
A local option case of more than usual in
terest has just been tried before Judge
MOtter In the circuit court at this place. 1t
was against William H. and George Bob
niger, owners of Cabin John Hotel and
John and Thomas Neonan, who were con-
nected with the hotel last summer The in
dictment was found at the last November
term of court and the case was set for
trial on a special day last month, but, ow-
ing to an important witness for the defense
being unable to be present, the case was
not concluded at that time. The Noonans
heve never been arrested, but Mr.. William
H. Bobinger was In court. The contention
of the Bobingers was That they were not
responsible for the sale Of liquor and were
neither morally nor technically guilty Of a
violation Of the law.
Mr. William H. Bobi1iger testified that a
verbal contract was entered into between
the Bobinger Brothersy and the Noonan
Brothers for the lease of the hotel. The
final arrangement was that the Bobingers
were to run the dining room and the Noon
ans the grounds and alEbusiness at the no.
tel excepting the mealAs the Bobingers to
receive Is per cent eof- the gross receipts of
the Noonan part ofthe business. On cross
examination Mr.. Bobineer admitted that
separate cashiers were employed The
each paying one-half, Of the wages. He
saw the guests in. the dining room served
with liquors. but did not see any sale. The
bill for liquors was on. the same check as
the bill for meals, but the money for drinks
was paid to the Noonan cashier and the
money for meals to the Bobinger cashier.
Mr.. Bobinger denied that either he or his
brother had anything to do with the sale Of
liquors
Mr. Arthur Peter OF Washington testified
that the contract between the Bobingers
and Noonans was made at his office and
admitted that the contract was SO worded
as to protect the Bobingers and that was its
object.
In arguing the case, Messrs Edward c.
Peter and Arthur Peter, counsel for the
Bobingers. contended that in order to con-
Wet the Bobingers It would be necessary
for the state to show that the Noonans
were either their agents or partners. States
Attorney Robert B. Peter held that 1t was
not necessary to prove either In this case.
He declared that there had been q most re-
markable conspiracy to violate the law and
that the whole transaction was q Eubter-
fuge and an, effort to Indirectly do what
could not be done under the law.
Judge Motter stated that owing to the

MAY HAVE GONE TO ST. LOUIS.
Message Suggestive of Whereabouts Of
William D. Deloe.

The mail yesterday afternoon brought to
Mrs. Deloe a message in the nature of a
suggestion concerning the probable where
abouts of her husband, William D. Deloe,
the mail collector, who disappeared Tues
day afternoon. The message bore the sig
nature of J. P. Price and suggested that
the missing man had probably gone to ST.
Louis. The writer Of the note signed his
name as a friend, but Mrs. Deloe does not
know anybody of that name. 1t is thought
he may be friend of the family and that
he did not care to sign his own name De-
loe. it is believed, had said something to
the friend about wanting to go to st.
Louis
In the note the missing man sent his wife
from Baltimore he said:
When you receive this / will be dead.
I got myself into trouble. l cannot say
what it is. Farewell, WILL"
Capt. Boardman has asked the Baltimore
authorities to look out for Deloe, but has
heard nothing from them, and is satisfied
that the missing man is not dead Had he
intended to end his life, the captain thinks,
he would have left his money with his
wife. This he did not do.
