Washington, Aug. 22.-The OPEN

ment officials have begun against
gambling, bookmhking, and pooling
yin the Government departments,
came with the arrest and arraign-
ment in court today of six employees
of Washington navy yard. The men
wee caught in sensational and care

ernment departments, is known
With the arrest of the navy
Yard men came the announcement
that ceaseiess war against such
practice is to be carried on among

gambling, regardless of its nature, is
b1ot'ea out
The SIX men caught at the navy
yard are held under 1000 bonds for
a heIaring next Friday.
The detective handling the case ask
ed for this postponement in order
that he might have additional time to
gather evidence to be used against the
men.
Asserting that they can produce
from Is to 100 witnesses to testify
to the wholesale gambling on horse
naces among the employees of The
navy yard, The detectives at she Cen
trai Office declare this has been go
ing on for years. Enormous profits
have been made by small coterie of
machinists who operated handbooks
in the east gun carriage shop at the
navy yard, and in other Government
departments, yet to be names, K is
said.
While the police have Known for
long time that there is bookmaklng
on large scale in practically all of
the Government departments, the
men at The navy yard are the only
! ones they have been able to get sufti-
cient evidecs against to justify max
ing arrests. During the last year in
,vestigations have been made Of hand
book making in several other depart
,ments.
AS evidence of the fact that the
navy yard machinists who ran. Me
handbooks made enormous profits out
of their felow-employes who placed
bets with them, the police point to the
fact that one of the accused men had
i more shan $4,000 in cash on him. 1t Is
further charged that Ihis man, Porter
: p. Paylor, had paid off all of his days
,losses except $l3.
More than 200 mechanics at the

patrons of the six men arrested IN the
raid, while it is also charged the
