AONsARRlf WILL
RON own COURT

The sooner Mr.. McDaffie realizes
that he is not running this court the
better, said Judge Monsarrat of the
district court 10 a Star Bulletin re-
porter this morning relative to a tift
tectiyes in q gambling case.
Il am the judge Mere; not he, the
judge wcEt on TO say, and as such
propose to run my own court. The
detectives get very excited about 4
little gambling game when the de,
PENDANTS don't have enough money on
their person to pay fine. Why dent
they so out and grab big game where
The stakes are high"
The judge saw fit TO discharge tive
youths this morning who were arrest
ed for gambling with six others at the
All Leong block yesterday afternoon
and McDuffie took exception TO his de-
cision. Detectives testified that both
discharged defendants we're present at
the game If net actively engaged in
il and that constitutes an offense un.
der the statute.
Both boys, C. Beckley and NJ
Pianos, however, presented excuses Of
happening TO pass the game and won
their freedom.
Whereupon McDuffie asked Prose
cutor Sheldon to obtain if possible a
suspended sentence for six others who
we're guilty. which he did.
IF the two boys were not guilty it
would not be fair to fine or sentence
the Others" said McDuffie afterwards.
for one was in the game just as much
as another.
McDdffie also stated that evidently
the testimony Of a police officer now
adays bore little weight with Judge
Monsarrat
''If had known the true reason for
the request by the prosecution for a
suspended sentence. would not have
granted it" declares Judge Monsarrat.
Il am sorry ] did now, but ! under
stood then that it was merely leniency
because of their first offense."
The captain says there is little use
for him to try to suppress gambling in
the face of such a district court de-
cision.
There have been numerous COM
plants from the All Leong block" he
says. These boys have both been in
the reform school but we can't take
them to Juvenile court for they are

Three thousand officials and en-
ployes Of the Old Dutch Market and
a thousand of their friends visited
Marshall Hall yesterday on their an
nual excursion. Various games, ath-
letic contests and other sports occu-
pied the visitors for the greater part
Of the day.
The steamer Charles Manchester

the downtown employees Of the mar
ket and the employees of the branch
stores in the uptown neighborhoods,
on the baseball field

LOCAL CAMERA CLUB
TO TEACH SOLDIERS
Photographers Have Rented Com
merce Rooms to Show War Films.

The Chamber Of Commerce has
loaned its quarters to the Capital
Camera Club. of Washington for an
exhibition of war films in the interest
of their recently LAUNCHED campaign
for the establishment of a school of
modern photography with officers or
the regular army and navy, as stu
dents.
The club has started the campaign
for the benefit of army officers. 1t
is intended to give the men chance
to learn all the points of modern
photography in its latest form.
The club contends that the newly
made officer has little knowledge of
the angles of photography from ba-
looms or airplanes, and that the aver
age is entirely ignorant of the meth
DDS used in producing miscroscopical
work of X-ray diagrams for map MAX
ing. 1t Is also planned to put COM
petent Instructor IN charge of the
class to teach them photography in
applied form.
Men of every branch of science have
volunteered their services to the club,
and F. L. Pittman, the president is
touring Rochester. Denver, Cleveland,
and st. Paul at his own expense in
efforts to make the enterprise a sue
cess.
The club has the support of the
Chamber of Commerce and other trade
bodies of the District. It is hoped
that the school for the instruction OF
the men will be in operation before
the end of the month.

Swiss to Confscate
Country's Live Stock

Rerne, Aug. 6-The scarcity Of
meat has become so great in Switzcr-
land that the government finds itself
compelled TO take drastic measures.
At q meeting OF the Federal Council
IL was decided to cOnfiscate all cattle
needed for slaughtering purposes. If
the owners refused to sell their live
stock at prices fixed by law.
Special commissions will be appoint
ed for every district to carry out the
confiscatiCn, but the order of the
government is only to be enforced if
the farmers and cattle breeders can
not be persuaded to give up their
animals voluntarily.
The government will no longer toler-
ate the eNtOrtiOn that has been prac-
ticed by the cattle owners and specu-
latOrs since the beginning Of the war.

BILLY" SUNDAY DUE !
HERE IN JANUARY
Baseball Evangelist Accepts Invita-
ton of Washington Ministers.

News that Billy Sunday will be
in Washington in Jauary, 1918, was
received by William Knowles Cooper,
general secretary to the Y. NJ. c. A,
last night in a telegram from George
NJ. Sunday, son of the evangelist,
who announced that the invitation of
the Washington ministers will be ac-
cepted.
Details Of the campaign have not
been arranged but will be in the near
future when the evangelist's son, now
acting as campaign manager, will
come to the city to arrange them in
conference with the ministers and
laymen. The ministers have been try
ing for some time to secure an ac-
ceptance from the baseball evangelist,
but owing to pressure of other claims
and calls from different sources, 1t
has been impossible for him to set a
date or to accept at all the invitation
to come to this city.
A local committee will be, organ
iZed in the near future.

DISTRICT PLANS GROW
To FETE DRAFT Army
Herald's Suggestion Taken Up by
Local Trade Bodies.

Plans. in accordance with sugges-
tions made by The Washington Her
aid. for holding a great parade and
patriotic demonstration early in Sep
tember for Washington's chosen sons
her first thousand contingent for
the national army-moved forward
rapidly yesterday with the appoint
ment Of committees by the Board Of
Trade and the Chamber Of Commerce.
While a complete program has not
yet been worked out for the event
the parade will undoubtedly be re-
viewed by high government officials
and possibly by President Wilson. 1t
Is also likely that exercises in honor
of the selected men will be held at
the Sylvan Theater, featured by ad-
dresS-s Of government and army Off
cials.
By September the second camp of
student officers at Fort Myer will
have been opened more than two
weeks, and it is likely that the COM
mandant will allow the candidates
to participate in the parade.
1t is believed that there will be a
spontaneous outpouring Of the resi-
dents of the Capital to honor the
soldiers who are to represent the
District on the battlehelds of France.
The people of Washington will be
more eager to show their appreciation
of the sacrifice which their soldiers
are preparing to make in that it may
be the only occasion they will have
to do so before the boys leave for
the front.
Owing to the fact that the govern
ment is taking every possible precau-
tion to prevent information of the
probable movement OF troops from
reaching the enemy. It has frowned
on proposals to have parades Just prior
to their departure for France
E. C. Brandenburg, president Of the
Board OF Trade. yesterday named the

that they cultivate 1t into a truck

PAPER RIDICULES

London. Aug. 6.-The London pa
pers comment ironically on the at
titude taken by the Berlin Lokal
Anzeiger toward the recent speech
made by Sarah Bernhardt in New
York, following her recovery from
what promised to be a fatal illness.
The Lokal Anzeiger remarked:
The Great Sarah as becomes the

ments partake more of the simian
nature than possibly all other
peoples. had no sooner recovered
her health in New York than she
belched forth her hatred of the un-
speakable Boches in a manner that
was intended for stage consump-
tion. -.
"Sarah's serpent-like effusions
will. we fancy. no more affect the
attitude of the French government
which is about to leave further con-
duct of the war to it's English and

their beds.

herself, in all the dessicated seventy
odd years of theatrical life, would

Department concerning the presence Of
four German U-boats in the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. together
with Information tending to show that
Germany has established submarine
base in these waters, Secretary Lansing

confirm or deny report that a German
base had been located in the Gulf Of

U-boat campaign Off the Mexican coast,

Tampico. 1t is known that precautions
have already been taken by the British
TO meet this emergency and that the
