Hand Book

Edward Mattern, the cigar and tobacco
dealer who was arrested at his place of
business, 436 18th street northwest yester-
day afternoon and charged with making a
book on the races. as published In yester-
days Star, gave bond for his appearance
IN the Police Court tomorrow morning and
was released. The arrest and finding of al
legged evidence on Mattern caused a sur
prise to many of his friends who thought
he had quit the business since his expen-
sive Police Court experience some months
ago.
But" said one OF the men who plays the
races, "the sports are bound to have Some
place to bet their money, There are no
pool rooms about this section, and they are
not content with the short time the races
are run on the local tracks
And So he concluded 1.-THE sporting men
have to have some outlet for their surplus
cash
The police have known that some of the
handbook men have been labOring induStrf-
ously since the closing of the pool rooms
and they have been doing their best to
cause the arrest of the alleged Yiolat RS
of the law. Recently Precinct Detective
Mullen of the first precinct sent players to
Mattern's store, and 1t IS alleged had them
place money with the proprietor to be bet
upon the horses. Yesterday afternoon when
Sergt. Hartley and Policemen Lee and Lar
rick went to the store with the detective
they had a raiding warrant for him While
the officers were searching for testimony
against the dealer the detective answered

he accepted money from a few friends.
He complained that he had been made to

similarly charged were not tried. When his
case comes before the Police Court tomor-
row the defendant will probably enter a
plea of not guilty and demand jury trial.
