POOL ROOM MEN
STAND ON RIGHTS
Demand Speedy Trial or
Dismissal of Charge.
Reject PROSECUTORS OFFER
Decline to Accept Agreement, Leaving
"a Club Over Their
Heads"
Reject PROSECUTORS OFFER

UPPER MARLBORO. Md. April s.
The kenilworth. poolroom cases will
probably not be disposed of before the
latter part of this week or next week
There are two counts remaining against
Arthur Wall, and two against Percy G..
Pumphrey, charged with conducting q
poolroom at Kenilworth. Originally
there were three counts against Vol,
but one Of these was disposed of at
the term OF the circuit court last fall.
when Wall was found not guilty OF the
charge.
Offer to ~Stet" the Case.
States Attorney NJ. Hampton Masrud-
er has signified his willingness to "stet'
the cases If the defendants will agree
not to reopen the poolroom, and will
promise not to start any establishment
for the purpose of gambling or betting
on horse races
Robert w Wells who is the leading
counsel for the defendants. gave out the
following statement this morning:
Our clients position is that they are
not concerned now whether or not they
shall resume business at Kenilworth.
The same question has been tried and
determined in our favor at the last
term OF court Our clients are not will
over their heads, unless what has been
done IS shown to be unlawful
Claim Business Was Lawful.
I'VE contend that the telegraph bust
ness which was carried on was entirely
lawful. Consequently. upon the princi-
ple of every mans right to a speedy
trial, we demand that the State shall
dismiss the indictments pending against
our clients or give us a trial. This is
entirely independent of the question Of
reopening business, but as citizens, our
clients are unwilling to rest longer un-
der these indictments.
$50 far as we know, the Maryland
Telegraph Company has gone out of
business for good and all Mr. Pum-
phrey, father of Percy c. Pumphrey, re-
Gently died, and. il is said, his death
has caused dissolution of the company
known as the Maryland Telegraph Com
pany.''

Four Amendments Proposed.
Secretary Metcalf of the Department
of Commerce and Labor has sent TO the
Foreign Affairs Committee four amend
ments, which have been drafted with
view To annexing them TO the pres
ent law. These are known to have at
least the tentative approval of the Ad-
ministration. Two OF them, however.
are strongly opposed by the 2eoDle OF
California and the delegation from that
State
The first amendment provides that Of
hciaIs appointed BY the Department %
commerce and Labor shall serve in
China to wise the passports and Gre
dentiais OF Chinese who would emf
CRATE TO this country. with the view
20 determining whether they are of the
classes admitted here
II is further proposed that Chinese
Who have been excluded. at an Ameri
Cdh port OF entry, by ruling Of the IN.
spector, shall be given the right to an
pi peaI 70 ,he courts: and during this ap-
peal may be permitted freedom on bail

The third proposal is that a re-regis-
tration OF all Chinese in this country
shall be made forthwith following mas
sage OF the act 1t Is claimed there are
great number of Chinese IN this conn
try who have no right mere. The Western
delegations therefore strongly favor this
plan.
The fourth proposed amendment is 4,
provide that there shall hereafter be no
restrictions on The rights Of Chinese
who. having once been admitted 20 this
country. and having established them
selves here. shall return 10 their native
land and later desire TO return to this
