SHERIFFS FIND
GAMBLING JOINT
While Levying Attachment
for Amount of Rent They
Find a Chinese Lottery
RAN SHOP FOR A BLIND
Merchandise Store in Front
Concealed the Real Char
acter of the Business

A Chinese lottery, with gambling
equipment, was accidentally discover
ed yesterday morning when Deputy
Sheriffs Galland and Gallagher levied
an attachment for arrears in rent. Fire
Commissioner j. G. BOyne obtained
judgment for rent against the Fang
Hing on Kee Company OF 722 Dupont
street and yesterday an attachment
for S245 was given TO the Sheriff TO
serve.
The officers found the company's >
door barricaded. Receiving no answer
from within, they broke down the door
and discovered that the store, Ostensi-
bly, used for the sale of merchandise,
was vacant. After passing through
short hall they came upon another
door likewise barTicaded. on their de-
manding an entrance and knocking
several times the door was opened by
All Ping. who had been left in charge
Upon entering the room the deputy
sheriffs discovered that they were in
a complete and active Chinese gamb-
ling joint. The doors on both sides OF
the room were solid and fitted with
heavy locks Tickets in the various
lotteries were pasted upon the walls
The table, which extended across one
side of the room, was Uttered with lot
terry tickets, rubber stamps and other
under the table were filled with unused
tickets and with aprons containing
pockets used for peddling the tickets.
There was very little money in the
drawers.
TRAPDOOR WAS HANDY.
Passing into a next room at the
back of the house, the deputies found
a trapdOor. planned for hastily dispOs-
ing of the gambling equipment in case
of surprise. Underneath this was a re-
ceptacle for the same and an exit
through an adjoining building.
At first All Ping seemed very much
perturbed and asked permission to
clear out the room Inquiry revealed
the fact that the firm Of Fang HinS
On Kee had disappeared, leaving An
Ping in charge to face the officers. An
other Chinaman, WO Mey. is also in
terested in the company. A search
through the disOrdered premises up
stairs failed to reveal any other gamb-
ling devices. The Sheriff will turn the
lottery property over TO the police.
WO MEY PAYS UP.
While Galland and Gallagher were
levying on the furniture WO Mey ap-
peared and paid down the sum of $3.50
to cover the amount Of the judgment
and costs Of execution.
This ended the mission Of the depu-
ties and they permitted the effects OF
the firm 10 be moved back into the
rooms. The writ was returned unexe-
Cuted.
But the event did not end without
an eviction after all To relieve his
Overwrought feelings, WO Mey seized
his Qoundam lieutenant. All Ping. and
bodily hustled him 10 the street. Then
the heather Chinee returned to his
quarters, rearranged his effects and
prepared to calm his wounded feelings
with the aid of the black smoke"

Il don't believe 1 did" replied Cap
tain Irvine. Il am not prepared to say
that I did or did not"
The witness, reyerting to the subject
of Engineer Sullivan, said that Mr. Sui
livan was not drunk, but was under the
influence Of liquor. He knew what he
was doing and talked intelligently, but
showed liquor" added the witness.

Mate Taylor testified further that
when he went into the engine-room to
inform the engineer that they were five
miles of shore he found Second As
sistant Engineer John Campbell asleep
in the chair and was obliged TO shake
him 10 awaken him.
The inspectors then took Captain Ir-
vine in hand and asked him why he
had not acted upon the information
given him by Third Mate Taylor The
captain replied:

report as % his bearings. L thought he was
mistaken because. ~ the rate of fortv-seyen

Captain Irvine-I knew that he drank a glass
or wine al dinner. but I dldn't think the ef-
fects would last 50 long
Captain Bowles was stern in his re-
ply to the statement of Captain Irvine.
He said:
II seems 10 me singular captain, that an old
COASTER as you have been Up and down this
coast for years and years, would take no notice
Of report that the ship closer 10 the
land than she ought TO be. The log for pre-
vicus voyages shows that the ship averaged

SUS PTIBLE TO CHANGE.
The Maryland Jim Grow" Law Badly
Constructed.

A peculiar condition of affairs has
been found TO exist in the enforcement
of the new Jim Crow law enacted
by the last session of the MARYLAND
legislature by which it became neces.
sary for the railroad and steamboat
companies operating within the limits
OF the state TO provide separate com
partments for white and colored pas
sengers.
Under the construction of the law,
as the Baltimore a. Ohio people see it,
il is not necessary ON through trains
handling interstate business-as, for
instance. between Washington and
New IOrkS-to provide separate COM
partments Tor the white and colored
passengers while passing through the
State of Maryland. On the other
hand. ON trains operating between
Washington and Baltimore or any
other point of terminus within the
State of Maryland separate compart-
ments are provided and the persons to
whom they are consigned must occupy
them or take the consequence for a
violation of the law.
1t is said that other constructions of
the law by the law officers of the
State of Maryland are that separate
compartments must be provided and
used while the train is within the
limits of the state. 1t is probable
that test case will be necessary Co
settle the question.

CHARGES AGAINST OFFICER
Have Been Filed With Mayor Jones
Outcome of Episode
of.August 5.

ChaDges unbecomlng conduct OF an
officer. consisting of drunkenness ON
duty and improper actions in making
an arrest have been filed with Mayor
Samuel Jones against Policeman
Samuel p. Owens, of the city police
force, by p. s. Miller and Charles Bod
kin, through their counsel, Mr.. James
w. Owens.
The affair grew out of an arrest
made by Officer Samuel Owens early
ON the morning of August 5. Having
been informed by resident that some
disorder had occurred in an alley to
the rear of the house occupied by
them, the officer followed Mr.. Miller
into his room in the house occupied
by Mr.. Bodkin and there made the ar
rest. Mr.. Miller was acquitted before
Justice Feldmeyer at the trial which
followed and Messrs. Miller and Bod
kin allege that the arrest was unwar-
ranted; that the officer was under the
influence of liquor at the time and
that he acted in an improper manner
in making the arrest.
Mayor Jones has set Friday at IL
O'Clock q. m. as the time for the hear.
ing of the matter. By the City Code
such charges are in the first instance
investigated by the Mayor, who may
inflict a limited fine or suspension. If
the Mayor regards it as necessary he
may refer the whole matter to the City
Council, which may, upon conviction,
dismiss the officer.

AN INTERESTING TEST.
Of subma inc Torpedo Boats of The Navy
Off NeWpolt.


There was an interesting test at
Newport, X. l., yesterday of the SUBJ
marine torpedo boat Shark, attached
TO the torpedo station, in a contest
arranged between her and the gunboat
Hist. 1t was not day favorable for
the submarine, but in spite of this the
Shark succeeded in carrying out its
mission.
The day was clear, but outside,
where the attack was held, there was
quite ..heavy sea running, which
made it difficult task for the subma-
rine to keep submerged. The Hist
was sent off Beaver Trail and told to
prepare for an attack. She was in
command of Lieutenant @. Angland
The officers from the torpedo station
were out ON the torpedo boat Winslow
TO watch the affair. AS soon as the
Hist had taken up her position,
watchers were set and every effort
made to pick up the submarine.
The Shark, which was using new
periscope, went out in the bay, became
submerged and then ran in this condi-
tion out through the channel and off
TO Beaver Trail, picking her way by
means of the periscope. She was not
seen once by those on board any of the
vessels. and the first known of her
whereabouts was when she came TO the
surface near the Hist and signaIed that
she had fired torpedo. The Shark
was in command of Lieutenant Charles

OLD MAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Tired of Living Alone, William
Rahl Shoots Himself at
Shady Side.

William RohI, 20 years old, was
brought here last evening at O'Clock
on the steamer Severn from Cedar
Point, suffering with gunshot wound
self-infiicted. He was taken on q
streatcher from the steamboat wharf
to the Emergency Hospital treatment
The old man spent a comfortable night
after his wound was dressed and is
doing as we'll this morning as can be
expected. under the existing circum-
staIices.
Early yesterday afternoon the neigh
bors of Mr.. Rahl, who lives alone at
Shadyside, heard the report of q pis-
tol. They made an investigation and
found Mr.. Rail lying on the floor in
a pool of blood. In a fit of despon-
dency Mr. Rahl had shot himself
through the mouth. The weapon
used was .S2-calibre pistol The ball
entered the back section of the man s
right jaw and lodged in the muscles
of the right side of his neck. DIR.
Boyd, of Shadyside, was called in, and
extracted the bullet. The wounded
man was placed ON an improvised
stretcher and brought to Annapolis
last night on the steamer Severn and
removed to the Emergency Hospital,
where he was attended by DR.. George
Wells.
The man is said to be doing we'll
this morning. Dependency is said TO
be the cause Of the rash act. Rail,
since his wife's death about a year
ago, has been living alone, and has
brooded over the loss of his wife until
he had become prey to dependency.
Weary of life he attempted to end it.
His injury is not thought to be serious
although his age is somewhat against
him. Great sympathy is felt for the
old man.

SHARK CAUGHT AT LAST.
Big Fellow Became Entanglsd In Nets oi
- The Fishermen.

At lastthe big shark that has for
some weeks been a terror to the fisher
men and bathers in the Severn river
has been caught He was a monster
of no mean size and measured eight
feett. He was canght yesterday in the
fish nets of Henry Hebron, a we'll
known fish dealer at the city market
The shark became entangled in Heb
ron's net off the place owned by Dr.
Dreaver, on the Severn river, between
Dill Dick and Clements creeks. The
shark tore the fish nets badly, so that
they are almost beyond repair. After
the monster shark was entrapped in
the fishermen's net, there being no
harpoon handy, the fishermen had
to kill him with an axe and oars. 1t
was slow work and took several heavy
blows, but the deed had to be done.
In his death throes the shark threw
up as much water as a side wheel
steam boat. He made a brave fight
for life and died game. The sharks
body was taken ashore and viewed by
a number of fishermen of a fishing
party up the Severn. One of the num-
Der, Mr.. Charles Chance. son of Mr..
Ed. Chance, is expected home this
evening and will bring with him the
tail and fins of the shark as a memento
