Special Correspondence of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, August 2S, 1905.
Andy Kimball of Washington. who is un-
derstood to be the owner of the Laugh
ing Gallery at Cabin John Bridge, was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff Hamilton upon the charge Of vio-
lating the Sunday law by prosecuting his
business the Sabbath. The offense
charged against him consisted in his stand
ing in front of his gallery and advertising
by attracting the attention Of passers- by
Justice of the Peace George R. Bell who
heard the case, imposed a fine of So and
costs. The accused was also required to
pay another fine of So and costs for an al
legged contempt of court.
AS result of the prosecution of the peo-
pie responsible for the operation Of the va
rous amusements at Cabin John bridge
on Sundays. it is believed to be probable
that every merchant and all others who
have not adhered to the letter of the Sun
day law in the conduct of their businesses
will in the future be required to toe the
mark. AT the instance of the persons who
control the amusements at Cabin John a.
number of detectives visited various Sec
tions of the county yesterday and obtained
evidence against numerous persons who
sold goods of different kinds or in any
other way violated the letter of the law
and it is understood that warrants for their
arrest will be issued. 1t Is held by those
employing these detectives that the states
attorney cannot consistently refuse to
prosecute these people and that the law
must be strictly observed all over the
county without discrimination. It is stated
that those against whom evidence was OBJ
tanned yesterday include a number Of
Rockville business men, several at Ken
sington and Takoma and one or more in
nearly every other town Of the county
