COPS TAKE POT

Find Crippled Street Vendors
Playing Poker-0ne Has
Money Orders for $500.

Four cripples were arrested yes
terday by headquarters detectives,
while playing poker with the money
they had collected from a gullibls
public.
Inspector Grant, chief of detectives,
heading the squad of raiders, swoop-
ed down on the home Of Thomas
Boyd, 469 Missouri avenue north
west, and corraled the quartet and
the owner of the premises.
SOME PEDDLED LAVENDER.
The cripples. who said they ped
dIed anything from pencils to pack
ages Of sweet-smelIing Lavender,
gave their names as Thomas p. Mar.
tin. forty-one, Norton. Va; Edward
Conklin. forty-nine, PHILADELPHIA:
George L. Hassian, forty, Jefferson.
Mich, and Maurice Kline. fifty, Tam
pa, Fla.
Boyd was charged with permitting
gambling on his premises, and the
Test with vagrancy.
Inspector Grant said today the W.
grancy laws will be tested in the ar
rest OF these peddlers. II he succeeds
in prosecuting the men, he believes
he will have power to deal with the
bootieggers who ply their trade In
this city.
DRESSED HANDSOMELY.
One OF the migratory birds" as
the detectives dub the peddlers who
prey on the sympathies Of the public,
was dressed handsomely. He was the
man who gave the name of Kline. He
said his business was to sell cards in
aid of the deaf and dumb. The police
say he also specialized in selling law
ender and novelties. He is deaf.
Martin, who wears an iron brace on
his leg; Conklin. whose hand is power
less, and Hassian, who hobbies around
on crutches. also gave their occupa-
tons as peddlera They sell pencils,
the police say.
Expensive suitcases were found IN
the possession of the men, each con-
taining pencils. lavender and novel
ties. One man had receipts for money
orders amounting to $500. Each was
drawn for 500 and was mailed during
the past week.
Inspector Grant is anxious that the
public be protected from peddlers, who
every year mulct easy-going people
out of thousands Of dollars. MANY Of
these peddlers own their own homes
and live on the fat Of the land.

Little Ones Enjoy Return of
Historic Festival Halted
BY War.

Some 100000 eggs of every color
were rolled, broken and eaten today
by the $4,000 youngsters who in
vaded the White House grounds and
Geological Park, in accordance with
an annual Easter custom of the
Nations Capital
Children of almost every nation
ality and thousands of parents, in
addition to the President of the
United States and his wife, all Joined
in celebrating Easter Monday, one of
the most important days of the year
for the children of Washington.
For the first time since 1917 the
great iron gates of the south grounds
OF the White House were thrown
open and children swarmed in for
Easter egg-rolling
Hundreds of youngsters were wait
ing in line, bearing little Easter
baskets. when the gates were swung
open. With one wild swoop they
tramped through.
Adults were barred. unless accom-
panied by children. Some enterpris-
ing boys and girls made capital of
this and charged Easter tourists. WHO
desired to enter the grounds. a small
fee for posing as their wards.
TAkE POT SHOTS.
The smaller children and those of
quiet dispositions exulted in rolling
their eggs about the White House
lawns, but some of the more bolster.
Gus found greater sport in taking pot
shots at their comrades with dyed
hard-boiled eggs.
That great game of chance the kid
dies play on Easter Monday-picking
eggs-was INDUCED in..by most of
them. In this game several chill
dren, usually boys, take part. Each
with an egg begins picking or
knocking the eggs of the others. The
egg that does not berak is the win
ner and the owner acquires the other
eggs, or the busted" ones.
'Laddie Boy" the Presidents pet
Airdale, was the main attraction at
the White House this morning. Es-
corted by Wilson jackson, a colored
messenger, the dog was taken about
the grounds time and again and hun
dreds of children followed the trail
of the White House mascot.

Quite the prettiest incident of the
egg-rolling celebration at the White
House today occurred long before
the children had foregathered on
the south grounds.
While President Harding was on
his way to the Executive offices be-
fore 8 o'clock his attention was at
tracted to Winifred S. Hiser. six
year-old daughter of John Hiser,
who was playing near the boiler
rooms, where her father works. He
stopped and picked the little girl up
in his arms and kissed her several
times. After he put her down he
patted her on the head and gave
her a brand-new 81 bill.
The child went scampering into
the boiler room, to show her father
her gift, and as he looked out to
see the donor. received friendly
salute from the Chief Executive.
