LAW ENDS BUCKET SHOPS.
Pennsylvania Drives Gambling Con-
Germs Out Of State.

The Mesta anti-bucket-shop bill. which
is now a law in Pennsylvania. is
one of the most complete meas
ures ever adopted by any State,
as it aims at the foundation Of these
gambling concerns in prescribing penal
ties against telegraph or telephone COM
panies furnishing quotations, and lessees
and owners OF buildings and other places
who permit bucket shops doing business
on their premises.
As the law is effective from the date Of
the governors signature. there will be
about thirty-fve Of these Illegal concerns
moving out Of Philadelphia and Pittsburg
at once.
As stated exclusively in The Washing
ton Herald last week, the Philadelphia
concerns will remove to New Jersey, and
those in Pittsburg will make Wheeling
W Va. their headquarters.
In this city there are seven offices that
have Philadelphia connection, and the
opinion expressed here is that there will
be no interruption of business, as offices
had been rented and equipped in Camden.
\. J., weeks ago in anticipation that the
governor would sign the bill.
The stock gamblers headquarters being
corralled in one or two States will do
much toward aiding the big exchange in
its crusade against them, and force them
10 seek protection on one Of the two
consolidated exchanges that have a clear
ing house for fractional lots and where
the membership fee is very small, or 10
discontinue under their present methods.
In West Virginia the State license IS
$50, and in the city OF Wheeling 81 200
for stockholders. In New Jersey there
is only a small Incorporation tax and
a company or firm tax Affldavits must
be fled as TO business, capital, and names
Of individual members OF the respective
concerns.
The Southern States have enforced the
anti-bucket shop laws, and pretty well
cleaned them out in most of the States.
Massachusetts, New York, Ohio. and
Illinois have succeeded in this same re-
speCt. Pennsylvania. considered the
largest bucket-shop State in the Union.

GARRETT CONFIDENT
Glen Echo Mayor Does Not
Fear Federal Action.
DEFENDS TOWNS POSITION
Declares Marshal Collins Has Never
Violated United states Laws Con-
cerning DipIOmats-AIways Per-
mits Occupants of Machines to
Proceed when Identity Is Known.

Mayor Garrett, Of Glen Echo, began
yesterday to prime his guns for the ex-
pected engagement with the authorities Of
Maryland over the passage-at-arms be
tween Marshal Collins and the Italian
Ambassador. Attorney Walter c. Car
roll, a relative Of Mayor Garrett and
member Of the Maryland legislature. will
20 to Baltimore to-day to confer with
United States Attorney Rose and arrange
for an interview between that official and
the Glen Echo dignitaries at present
under the cloud of the state Depart
ment's displeasure.
Neither Mayor Garrett nor his trusty
officer. Collins, are worried over the out
come. but both are following the ancient
precept in regard 10 having faith, but keep
ing ones powder dry. The mayor spent
part of yesterday running down residents
of Glen Echo upon whom he can call 10
testify as 20 the behavior of certain mem-
bers Of the diplomatic corps that have
scooted through the suburb in the motor
cars. and TO the actions of Marshal Col
Inns in such cases. The mayor said last
night that he is prepared to show that
he and Collins are in no way 70 be blamed
for the incident Of the Italian Ambassa-
dor and Duke Of Abruzzi or the two other
encounters between the marshal and for
eign dignitaries.
Thinks lie Is being Worried.
The more / think about this affair.
the more I am inclined 20 believe that
this is merely another attempt TO worry
me into abandoning my efforts 10 force
the automobiIists to respect the speed
laws Of this town. said the mayor.
AS far as / can discover from reading
the Federal statutes that Collins and my
self are supposed 10 have violated, We
are not affected The law deals with ar
rests Of or processes served on diplO-
mats. ana il none of the affairs between
Collins and diplomats has an arrest been
made or a writ of any kind served. How
is Collins 10 know that a fast-driving
autOmObilist is a diplomat until be stops
the machine? There can't possibly be any
crime in stopping a diplomats car be
cause It is being driven too fast. and
then upon learning the identity Of the
occupants allowing the car TO proceed

But if the aut0mobnlsts in general
think they can worry me into quitting.
they can guess again. ! am going to
stick this thing through until the cows
