BILL REACHES CLUB TABLES.
Commissioners Approve Measure TO
License Pool and Billiards.

A bin providing for the licensing Of pool
and billiard tables IN the District OF
Columbia was sent to Congress by the
Commissioners yesterday with request
for enactmeRt.
IN a letter>to Senator Gsllinger, chair
man OF the Senate Committee on the Dis
uict Of Columbia, the Commissioners say;
'"The legislation Is advisable because A
number of pool rooms are conducted as
incorporated clubs and pay 10 license
fee and are not amenable TO the law
governing licensed pool rooms
They may and sometimes do keep open
all day Sundays. and at other times pro-
hiblted 10 licensed places. They are not
subject 70 The inspection Of the police. as
they sneuld be. in order 10 prevent them
from becoming gaming places.
Furthermore the immunity Of these
places from paying license taxes deprives
the District of considerable revenues, be-
sides putting the places which are licensed
at a disadvantage.
"Under existing law there IS TO prohibi-
ton against pool playing by children even
Of tender years in such plces.'

Children Make Merry.

Il did not take long after the children
Hhad entered the grounds before they
made themselves thoroughly at home.
They found their little playmate friends
and either rolled their eggs down the
numerous inclines or played catch with
them. In this case most Of the eggs went
to smash on the ground, or against the
heads OF the children or some one else.
Before long the neat and well-kept
grounds were covered with broken eggs,
papers. green and red excelsior. bursted
toy balloons. peanut shells. and other
debris Of the occasion.
Toward II o'clock Mrs. Roosevelt, ac-
companied by Mrs Cowles and Miss
Ethel Roosevelt, appeared on the south
portico and attracted the attention Of
thousands Of eyes for some time. A re-
port at once circulated that the Presi-
dent. too, would make his appearance.
There was a rush toward the fences and
ropes that barred the crowds further
progress. There they Naited patiently
