NEW YORK July 2s.-Thirty-six men
were indicted in the King county grand
Jury this morning on charges of violat-
ing the anti-gambling laws at the race

the most prominent men who formerly
occupied stools in the betting rings.

ments are Joe Vendig. Charles Kissel.

atty is one years Imprisonment, without
alternative Of fine.
The grand jury which returned the in

ditions at the race track for several

fore the hour of the opening of the

fore Judge Dixie and paroled In the Gus

TO DISCUSS THE OUTLOOK.
State Chairman Woodruff Will Visit
the President,

NEW YORK, July 2s.-The purpose of
State Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff's
visit to President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay tomorrow is to discuss the political
situation In this state as affecting the ma
tional republican ticket, according to q
statement made by Mr.. Woodruff today.
The state chairman said that the meet
ing Is the outcome of a letter which he
wrote to the President asking for an in
terview.
II shall inform the President Of the
exact situation as find 1t In this state"
Mr.. Woodruff said. while the outlook is
in every way favorable, feel it is the
duty Of every one to get out and work
hard for the success of the ticket. I
wrote the President about a week ago
that I desired to discuss with him the
situation in this state. but I had no spe-
cial reference to the gubernatorial stu
alton. Ny letter to the President was
written before the announcement of Gov.
Hughes that he would accept a renomi-
nation. There Is nothing unusual in this
visit. as in past campaigns 1 have made
frequent visits to President Roosevelt"

NOT TO DISCUSS CADETS
LOEB DENIES PRESIDENT WILL
REOPEN CASE.
But Secretary Wright Is Surely
Summoned to Oyster Bay-Has
Not Issued Order.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. July 28.-Secre-
tary of War Wright Is expected at Saga
more Hill to spend the day with Presi-
dent Roosevelt Friday. Secretary Loeb
today said Gen. Wright's engagement
with the President was made some time
ago. and that various matters would be
discussed.
Mr.. Loeb denied the report that Gen.
Wright had been summoned to Oyster
Bay by the President for the purpose
comforting about the case of the eight
West Point cadets who were dismissed
from the Military Academy for hazing,
and whose dismissal the President strong
ly approved. The Secretary Of War, II
is expected, will remain over night with
the President.
The papers in the case Of the eight ca.
diets whose dismissal from the Military
Academy was recommended by an army
board appointed by Col. Scott, superin-
tendent of the academy, have been re-
turned to the War Department from Oys-
ter Bay bearing the approval of President
Roosevelt of the findings and sentence OF
the board. Secretary Wright has not yet
issued his order dismissing the cadets, and
he may not do so until he has discussed
the matter with the President
Gov. Fort of New Jersey has extended
an invitation to Secretary Wright to visit
the encampment of the New Jersey Ma
tional Guard at Sea Girt and the Secre-
leave here next Thursday afternoon and

Conditions Not Bad Here.
POLICE IN THE TENDERLOIN.
Maj. Sylvester Tells What He's
Trying to Do.

The report that orders had been issued
to the police to prohibit citizens from
passing through certain streets in the dis
orderly section south Of Pennsylvania
avenue is denied by Superintendent of
Police Sylvester. The major stated today
that his order was that the neighborhood
be freed Of the Objectionable characters
infesting 1t every night in the year.
Maj. Sylvester says he has no intention
Of closing the street to pedestrians. and
that reports that the police were driving
from the Tenderloin men who, of neces-
sity. were compelled to pass through 1t
are erroneous
It Is the intention Of the police to i'm.
prove the neighborhood so that the .en1-
ployes Of the various government depart
ments and citizens of tho southwest sec
ton Of the city may pass through the
streets in question without being insulted
It is stated that the men being driven
from the section by the police are those
who stand on street corners drinking In
toxicating liquors from bottles and mo-
testing passers by. 1t is the contention Of
the police that crime originates from the
conditions that have existed in this neigh
borhood' and that they propose to wipe
out the evil.

NO THROUGH SERVICE NOW
BRIGHTWOOD RAILWAY RE-
PLIES TO CITIZENS DEMANDS.

If the citizens of Brightwood and
Takoma Park, who want through car
service from the center of the city to
those suburbs, can devise a plan whereby
the Brightwood Railway Company can
supply it without financial loss they Will
probably get through cars.
In a letter to the interstate commerce
commission. made public TO-DAY. Gen
George H. Harries. vice president OF the
Brightwood Railway Company, says such
a plan would receive serious consideration
from his line Unless such a proposition
is made, he adds, the company feels II
cannot give through service.
One of the first complaints received by
the District railway commission, after
of Brightwood and Takoma; asking for
through service from the business sec
tion Of the city to those suburban towns.
In starting an investigation OF the mat
ter the District commission desired 10
learn If the Brightwood line had any
Man under consideration for providing
the service desired. Owing to the I'M
Willingness of the local street railways
to recognize the authority or the DIS
trict commission the information was
obtained in the name OF the Interstate
Commerce commission. The federal COM
mission wrote for the information and
the reply was today turned over to the
District commission.
Gen. Harries' Letter.
In explaining the position of the rail-
way Vice President Harries says:
Responding to your favor of July q. I
have to say that the Brightwood Railway
Company has given careful consideration
to the various propositions and sugges-
lions looking to through service over all
or a portion of the company's lines and
the 4th street line of the Anacostia and
Potomac Railroad Company, or the 9th
street line of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company.
There Is no serious physical dimculty
but the financial phases Of the situation
are extremely forbidding.
Zach year of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of our
voluntary reduction of fare and the grant
ing of free transfer privileges-has added
steadily to our deficit
Further consideration will undoubtedly
be given any proposition which promises
to provide through service without in
creasing the deficit or adding to the float
ing debt, which Is now larger than this
company, unassisted, could possibly
carry"

City Profusely Decorated.

Notification day broke with a roar of
cannon from the seven hills which looked
down at o'clock this morning through
the customary haze and smoke to dis
cover the city in the futter of liveliest
animation, bedecked and garlanded, flags
flying and banners waving, bands playing
and budding carnival Of rfotous enthu-
siasm in the process of going into full
bloom. Although showers had been pre-
dicted, the sun broke from cloudless
sky when the early morning haze had
lifted from the city. and was shining I'M
dfmmed when. at the precise hour of
o'clock. the program formally was begun
with a salute of bombs fired from the
hilltops and exploding high in the air.
Probably never before has the city been
more profusely decorated than now By
day the streets are a mass of waving col
ors, while by night countless electric
bulbs outline tall buildings in vari-colored
splendor and form decorative designs of
unusual beauty.
Following the suggestion of the local
committee in charge of notification day
arrangements. the American flag has
been almost exclusively used in the dec
Grafton of the CITY, and from practically
every downtown building the Stars and
Stripes were futtering throughout the
day. Several of the taller "skyscrapers"
OF the city, rising sixteen stories and more
above the sidewalk, displayed a flag from
every window. the effect being the most
striking of any employed in the general
decorative scheme
