CRUSADE JUST BEGUN
PROSECUTOR TO RID COMMUNITY
OF UNDESIRABLE ELEMENT.
Cases to Be Heard saturday-The Pool
Rooms in Alexandria
County.

Commonwealth Attorney Crandall Mack
ey, who has charge Of the prosecution Of
offenders in Alexandria county, Va, has
the gamblers and other violators Of law
more badly frightened, 1t is said. than they
have been in many years. He announces
that he is going to rid the county of the un
desirable element, and that he will not rest
from his labors until he has met with sue
cess or is stopped by the courts Should
the court of last resort determine the pool
room cases in favor of the defendants, he
says, he will then encourage the opening
Of other pool rooms in the county and let
the condition of affairs become so objec-
tfonable that the legislature will have to
take hand in the matter. He anticipates
no Such result, however, although the pool
room people have secured able counsel and
will put up hard fight to win out.
The first cases filed against the pool room
people at st. Asaph, stated in yester-
days Star, will be called for trial before
Magistrate Hagan Saturday morning at .
O'Clock. 1t Is thought that counsel for the
defendants will ask for a continuance and
make an effort to delay the hearing as
long as possible in order the the alleged
gambling may possibly be permitted to go
on The closing of the business there for
single day, it is said, is likely to mean
the loss of hundreds or thousands of dol
lars to the proprietors. Warrants filed
against the Hills, Isaac Jones and others set
out the statutes provisions on the subject,
wealth hopes to be able to secure convic-
lions

Complains of Injustice.

A resident Of Alexandria county, in con-
versation with Star reporter, said he
thought that frequent reference to the
county at large because of the alleged law
lessness on the border was an injustice to
the people. These gambling and drinking
places. he explained, are on the border
nearest the city, and are supported chiefly
by Washingtonians. He admitted that the
gamblers had been permitted to run openly
for number of years, and said he thought
that rural police force would have to be
appointed to break up the evil. He had
voted for the officers in power, he said, but
he thought the Washington police should
break up the business.
WaShfngtonfans, he suggested, should re-
main at home, and those who persist In
visiting unlawful places across the river
ought to be picked up and charged with va
grancy. He had but little to say about the
question of the Inducements offered by
those who conduct the games.
Major Sylvester has policemen detailed
on both the Long and Aqueduct bridges,
and arrests are made when intoxicated and
disorderly people come across them into
the city. Many violators Of the policy law
have also been arrested upon their return
from the law1eSS section.
About four years ago, when an effort was
made against the Alexandria county viola
tors Of the law, the policy men became
frightened, and some OF them started in
business in this city. They lasted only a.
short time, however, for Policy Detective
Watson and Detective Hartigan soon had
them. and one of three persons arrested at
the time spent two years in Jail The others
were released on $500 security. and their
bond was forfeited by reason of their fail
ure to appear for trial. Although the bonds
were forfeited so long ago, it is stated, they
have not been collected. In the two raids
made by the detectives they secured. print
ing presses, type and other paraphernalia
that is necessary to be used in opera ting
the game. The books were known as the
'B. and o." and Western Union" Since
