BARGE GAMBLING
TOBE DISCOURAGED
Commissioners Seek to Stop
Steamer BarthOldi Car
rying Passengers.

Immediate steps will be taken by the

the Potomac river, above Alexandria, as
tar as the use of the steamer BarthoIdi.

Commissioner Macfarland TODAY ascer-
tanned through the District Wharf Com
nittee that the arrangement under
which the steamer BarthoIdi uses the
wharf Of the Independent Steamboat and
Barge Company Is an oral one, made
without the consent OF the Commis-
sioners required by the lease Acting
on the advice of the Corporation Coun-
sci, the Commissioner notified the
steamboat and Barge Company that
such subletting is prohibited by the
terms of its lease with the District, and
that II the arrangement is not vacated
at once the Commissioners viii proceed
TO recover possession of the wharf.
Beyond his action, the Commissioners
have no authority 10 stop the alleged
gambling, even though they may have
actual knowledge OF its being carried on
at the place named. The fact that
the barge is anchored within the Iuris-
dlction of Maryland puts the matter
up to the authorities of that State.
