PONIES
ACROSS THE RIVER
Business at Jackson City
Booming Again.

The pooIroom at Jackson City, Va,
Is In full blast this afternoon.
The short lease of life given to its
promoters. John c. Nelson and James
La Fontaine. by Judge Waddill. presid-
ing in the United States district court,
az Richmond, Va. has been taken ad-
vantage of and with practically an alb
solute protection against being raided
at least until after Thursday, Oc-
tober l9, gambling on the races will be
carried on in a fearless manner across
the river"
All forenoon a corps of employees Of
the poolroom operators were busy put
ting the place in order The telegraph
connections were perfected and at m
early hour this afternoon the crowd be-
gan to gather awaiting the call Ito
post for the first race at Belmont and
Latonia The entries with weights,
jockies, and odds, were posted on the
chart boards and the books of racing
dope were within easy reach Of those
who play on form only.
Same People There.
Behind the long counter on the south
side of the building the same people
who were caught in the raid at that
place two weeks ago were seen writing
tickets and taking in the money. The
telegraph instruments were ticking of
paddock notes and other information
for the benefit of the gamblers.
An air Of assurance that there would
be no molestation pervaded the estab-
lishment. and the promoters as well as
patrons seemed thoroughly at ease.
The action of Judge Waddill In advis-
ing Crandal Mackey attorney for the
make raid ON the place. Is considered
by the turtles" as a good omen that
when the final hearing In the case will
have been heard a decision in favor
of the poolroom operators will be hand
ed down. Pending such decision. the
hands of the authorities of both Alex
andrIa county and the District of Co
lumbia are tied, and this fact was flash
ed over the telegraph wires yesterday
afternoon.

SOLDIER HELD FOR MURDER
SAYS HE'S NOT RIGHT MAN

Clifford Hawley, or C n. Holly. a
private in the regular army. whom local
detectives arrested for murder on the
Glenburnie CAd.) rife range yesterday
says they have made a mistake, and
that he is not the man wanted. Be
cause of his denial. Hawley will be held

occurred.
Hawley is accused of the murder of

The Washington times., 1905-10-11

Alexandria county, Va. and the pool
room men say they were in the District
or Columbia. and that their arrest was
without legal authority.
In continuing the case Judge Waddill
held the defendants IN 81, 900 each. With
the sentence imposed by the Virginia
courts of six months in Jail and 81 500
for each defendant at $500. Bail has
been furnished in each of the two cases
against the men which grew out of rneir
arrest twice on similar charges
1t is evident that Nelson and La
fontaine are determined to make a hard
hight TO escape the sentence imposed by
the Virginia courts. and Incidentally to
carry on ne business of operating
poolroom.
Big Question of Law.
IT is possible that the proceedings
brought by them may develop into one
of the most interesting questions of
constitutional law ever brought in the
United States
The question of the validity of the
retrocession by Congress was brought
out in the case of Phillip VS.. Payne
which was before the United States
Supreme Court in 1876 The same con-
tention was made then, but the unani-
nous opinion of the court, delivered by
Justice Swayne, set forth that while the
act of Congress was in violation of the
applies to nations as well as indi-
viduals. Seven years ago the United
States Supreme Court had occasion to
fix the boundary of the District of Co.
lumbia at highwater mark on the south
ern shore OF the Potomac river.

The Great
Demand for
Acreage Property.

THE greatest demand in
4 the real estate market
~ today is for small acre
age property in the
District of Columbia at invest
ment prices. And it's a de-
rnand that is well-nigh impos-
sible to supply, for almost ev-
erybody who owns property in
the District is holding it at
exorbitant figures. By for
tunate deal we have sec.ired
that beautiful property known
as MANOR PARK" at. a
very low figure, that enables
us to offer the investors of
Washington the best specula-
ton in District realty which
has been on the market for
years.

Property Has Been
Surveyed and Streets
Are Now Being Cut.

The District survey of this

and the iron plates set mark

tractors are now at work cut

which are to run through the

A Part of the Great
and Growing
Northwest Section.

This property is located in
the District just west of the
Metropolitan branch of the
B. & O. r. R., near Lamond's
station and within a few blocks
of the Brightwood and Ta-
koma Park electric lines. 1t
lies right in the line of First,
Second and Third streets
northwest, when the extern
sion of these streets is COM
pleted, and is therefore within
the bounds of the great and
growing desirable northwest
section of the District.
The largest frontage OF the
park is on the famous Blair
road, one of the finest driving
roads in the District, and the
other frontage is on Madison
street, the beautiful boulevard
which is to connect Blair road
with the Brightwood road.
This street will be graded and
opened to the public in the
very near future, as the ground
has been condemned and the
title is now in the District of
Columbia.

Remember There Are
Less Than 40 Acre
Plots i'm Manor
Park.

And some investors will want
two or three acres-perhaps
more. Probably the first
twenty-five or thirty applicants
for this ground will absorb the
whole tract. You must be
prompt if you want to be one
of the lucky ones. It's the
chance of a lifetime for the
small investor-an opportun-
ity to get an acre in the best
section OF the District for
what you'd ordinarily pay for
a small building lot. There'll
be a dozen applicants for ev-
cry acre we have to sell. Speak
for one Monday. Don't miss
the biggest realty bargain ever
offered in the District of Co
lumbia.

The Important Bear
ing of the New Union
Station on This
Property.

Ii we are to Judge by the
experience of Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more, the new union station in
Washington will, when COM
pleted, just 'quadruple the val
Tie of all the District suburban
property lying along the Met
ropolitan branch of the B. &
0. This great terminal sta
ton, with its approaches and
trackage, representing an ex-
penditure of over fifteen mil
lion dollars, will afford a most
convenient and magnificent
gateway to the suburbs. You
walk into this beautiful struc-
ture, take a seat in one of the
big, roomy coaches of the B.
& O., and in fourteen minutes
you are home at MANOR
PARK" The commutation
rate is less than 6 cents, prac-
ticaily one street car fare each
way. But long before the Union
station is completed-and that
will only be a short tir1e-ev-
cry acre in MANOR PARK"
win be sold-and we doubt
whether you would be able
to buy then for less than
$1,000 to $4,000 an acre. If
you buy now you pay only
SLIGO to $500 per acre.
That's what the union station
will do for this property.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp-
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Brlght's Disease.
1t is Easily Durable in the Early Stages,

Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu-
ton is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi-
clans are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is tic apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima-
ton of strong men and women, yet they
have serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per-
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health An
investment of one dollar in a bottle OF
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctors bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. 1t is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as last
resort, in cases that defed their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many social kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu-
merable.
