GOSPEL HALL.
The Peoples Mission Now Looking for
New Home

a NSW aOuuc.
Gospel Hall, the old building on the cor
| ner of 18th and F streets southwest, which
for nearly six years has been the home
Of the South Washington branch of the
Peoples Mission, is soon to be deserted
The rapid growth of this branch during
the past five years necessitates larger and
more desirable quarters, and the officers
of the Peoples Mission are now searching
for new home for this prosperous little
mission.
Gospel Hall has for the past ten years
been occupied as a Christian Mission; first
branch of the Central Union Mission
and for the past six years by the Peoples
Mission. The missions work has been
chiefly among river men, and in changing
quarters the officers desire to locate as
near the river front as possible.
Mrs Margaret E. Carroll c'Mother" Car
rolD has been in charge of Gospel Hall
since it came under the superintendent of
the Peoples Mission. She was born in
Dorchester county the Eastern Shore
of Maryland where her early years were
spent in Christian work. Later she moved
to Baltimore, where she became actively
engaged in w. G. T. L. circles. Mrs Car
roll came to Washington sixteen years ago
and at once took up mission work with the
Central Union Mission.
Owing to the sudden loss of her health
Mrs Carroll was compelled to give up her
position as superintendent of Gospel Hail.

and worked here at Gospel Hall, and I feel
that much good has been accomplished.
Most of our work in South Washington
has been along the wharves, among the
fishermen and river men. and the results
have been most pleasing. We have made
many converts, and many man has been
made better by the Christian influence we
have spread. In the summer especially
during the watermelon season, we hold our
outdoor meeting along the wharves A
great many boats reach Washington at
that time of the year and our meetings are
always well attended. Many of the men
attend our meetings at the hall and quite
few take part. But all our time is not
given to work among the river men, We
have endeavored to carry the Lords word
TO every family in this section and we
know that the influences of this mission
have reached hundreds OF homes in South
Washington.

verse, Stand therefore having your loins
girt about with truth. and having on the

popularity.

Each period has had its Watts and it's
Wesley. The fourth council of Toledo, in
633, issued a decree establishing Hilary of
Politiers and Ambrose of Milan as the great
fathers of Christian song in the western
church. and sanctioned and commended the
praises of God in hymns. With Hilary
Latin hymnology may be really said to
have begun. Cyprian of Carthage had
written religious poetry in the third CEN

be sung. The history of Hilary Is most
interesting. He was born about the begin

POLICE WAR ON
GAMBLING GAMES
CHIEF HAMMEL WOULD PUT
STOP TO GAMES OF CHANCE
Proprietors of Well Known Resorts
Decide That II Is Time to Close
for Awhile at
Least

Chief of Police Hammel and Capt.
Auble have begun crusade against
the gambling resorts which up until a
week ago were running full blast
throughout the business and lodging
house districts of Los Angeles
"a special detail of men has been
ordered to clean out every gambling
place that can be reached in the city,"
said Capt. Auble last night, land they
are making the rounds at short inter-
walls to see that the gambling law is
obeyed. am doing my utmost to wipe
out all gambling places"
A tour of investigation last night to
all the places commonly known to the
sporting fraternity revealed the fact
that two-thirds of the resorts had no
tices on the doors saying that the
places were not open for business. One
of the first places to go was a resort
on Spring street, near First, but there
are others in the vicinity which have
not taken warning and are still open,
but only to the initiated few,
"These poker games are hard to put
out of business said Capt. Auble,
land it is almost impossible to get
sufficient evidence for a. conviction of
the offenders. About the only way we
have is to send men around to demand
entrance to the resorts and do this so
often as to make existence uncomfortable
to the proprietors.
1.-THE card games running have
thumb bells that apprise the lookout
of the approach of anyone. If the in
truder does not look good to him by
the time the man gets into the first
room the players who are in a room to
the side are warned and the officer
enters to find qufet game Of whist
or seven-up going on"
In line with the crusade of the po-
lice there is also the fact that the
proprietors of poker rooms are uneasy
as to what the new police commission
can be expected to do, and until this
question is fully determined, the cards
are being given a rest and the chips
are kept out of sight.
