FOR ANOTHER ATTACK
PLANS FOR GUSHING THE KENIL-
WORTH POOL ROOM.
Decided Upon at Meeting of Citizens
Association Last Night-The
Program.

A new point of attack in the fight of the
citizens in the vicinity of the Kenilworth
pool room against that institution was de-
c1ded upon last night at meeting of the
Kenilworth Citizens Association, held in
the chapel In kenilworth. The Western
Union Telegraph Company will be the OBJ
Ject of that attack, as was done In New
York city last summer to such good effect.
Active steps along that line will be begun
today, and within the course of a few days
1t is hoped that some definite progress can
be reported. Work along other lines will
also be continued, as Is shown today by
the appearance of a delegation of citizens
from the kenilworth, Tuxedo and Chesa-
peake Junction associations before the
county officials at Upper Marlboro, to ask
again for some action on their part
For some days past those who have been
working against the pool room have been
investigating the source of the information
on the races which is received at the pool
room, and from those Investigations 1t is
believed that 1t is furnished by the Western
Union Company. The basis for this belief,
as stated last evening, Is that the wires
leading from the pool room have been
traced from the building at the District
line to the corner of 14th and G streets,
and the poles on which those. wires are
strung are numbered with the numbers of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
and are lettered w. U. T. Co. 1t was
stated, too, by Mr.. Knight that he had
visited the track at Gravese2i and saw
there the operator of the Western Union
Telegraph Company sending the reports of
the races over their wires and he also saw
other men writing the results on Western
Union blanks, which were sent over the
wire by the same operator.
There can be no doubt that the Western
Union Telegraph Company is furnishing
the information to the Kenilworth pool
room" he concluded.
After this was brought out the discussion
turned to whether active steps against
the company would be productive of re-
suits. In this connection Mr.. Knight read
several interviews with officials of the
company, which were given out during the
fight in New York, to the effect that the
company would not continue to furnish
such informa ton and would take their in
struments out of pool rooms. One director
stated that the company is abetting crime
to do this. President Clowry at the time
ordered all wires taken out of pool rooms
throughout the United States.

Steps Decided Upon.

Three steps were decided upon, to be
taken if possible by the committee repre-
senting the citizens of the county, viz:
% that a registered letter be sent to the
officials of the telegraph company, asking
that the service be discontinued; 90 that
the District officials be appealed to to pro-
coed against the company for aiding and
abetting felony; and (3) the Attorney Gen
erdl for the United States be asked to take
action against the company, On the ground
that the company is engaging in interstate
commerce.
As 20 the first step, it is thought that the
officials should be informed as 10 the pool
room at keuilmorth 10 which they are be-
iieved to be furnishing information, 10 the
sentiment of the citizens against l. and re-
questing tina: the company cut their wires
10 the place.
1t is believed that the District officials
can properly ,ahe action against The COM
pany for aiding and abetting a felony. In
view of the admissions as 10 the violations
of the law by several of the officials of the
company az the time of the New York
agitation it is believed that the officials
could not now properly defend themselves
IF the district attorney of New York could
proceed against the company for aiding and
abetting crime, as it was his announced
intention to do, why is it not proper that
the District Commissioners through their
counsel, take that action?' asked ]. t.
Barber and that clinched the matter.
AS to the power of the Attorney General
to take action against the company, as
corporation engaging in interstate COM
merce, there seemed to be some doubt. But
the committee announced its intention to
have interview with the Attorney Cen
eral and find out what he could do, and to
urge him to take action if possible.
A letter from the states attorney of
Prince George county, in which he gives his
reasons for refusing to advise the judge of
the county about calling the grand jury in
extra session to consider the pool room
cases, was read. 1t published in The
Star at the time of its receipt
At the end of the meeting the annual
election of officers was held, and this re-
suited as follows: President, A. w. Nal
lery vice president. j. T. Barber; recording
secretary, r. E. Holmes; corresponding
secretary, a. r. Lindsay treasurer j. NJ.
Fowler.
