ALLEGED CRAP GAME,
Investigation Of Reports Affecting
Georgetown Police. ~

Nearly a dozen policemen. members. OF
the Georgetown command. were summoned
to police headquarters this morning and.
questioned by Major Sylvester respecting
the allegation that crap games were played
in the station and large sums of money lost,
as printed exclusively in Sundays Star.
Since Sunday the police in Georgetown and
friends of some of them have been busy
looking up testimony and preparing to vim
dictate themselves in the. event of formal
charges being preferred against them.
Nearly every member of f!euteAant Jor-
dams command has been questioned about
the reported crap games, and a number of
them told of the rumors that were in cir
culation Others denied knowledge of the
gossip, and. it is said, some contradictions
were recorded. Ma jor Sylvester, il is stat
ed, has not yet found any police man who
has admitted that he participated in or
witnessed the alleged game of crap No
policeman has been found whe can identify
the man who took the diamond pin nd kept
it for nearly month. Additional witnesses
are to be examined before Major Sylvester
decides upon the question of charges to DO
preferred against any particular individual
1t was reported this afternoon that one
of the officers who has already made "A
statement intends to change his statement
and tell of the game being played with
bones on a bed in one of the sleeping
rooms. 1t will probably be several days
before the investigation is finished, and it is
not unlikely that there will be a general
shake-up in the precinct before it is over.

Steamer Rugs or
Travelling ShaWls.

Not SO long ago these comforters
served one special purpose. They
were the indispensable companion
of the land or sea traveler-con-
stantly needed in the railway coach
or on deck OF the ocean steamer. In
these later years they supply other
needs. They make an ideal wrap
when one lies down on the couch !;
they look we'll thrown across tl,e
easy chair. The pretty plaids and
rich-hued stripes place them in
much demand for dens and coy
corners. The room of the college
boy is rarely without one. They
are useful all about the house.
Prices were never more reasonable.
$500, $500 to $500 each.
