NEGRO GAMBLERS
KEEP POLICE BUSY
Despite Constant Arrests and Repeat
ed Fines Darkies VIII
Roll the Bones.

The police department has been
kept very busy during the past few
days attending to those darkies who
will contend that their luck in shoot
Ing craps and playing cards Is better
than the officers in looking for them
to make the arrest. As a result of the
vigilance Of the police there were
many darl1ies who had to face the re-
corder on the charge of gambling, and
lettering around where gambling was
going on. Only two of the negroes
plead mot guilty" but their plea was
In vain as the circumstances pointed
out the fact that they were too near
the game to get away.
Most of the cases were disposed of
In short time as the usual fine Of
"s4 and costs" was almost as familiar
as the tune of "O1d Black joe"
It Is indeed surprising how these
fellows will get an aidea in their head
that they can evade the police with
their little games. when to the class
of officers on their trail the matter OF
catching these gamblers is like knock
ing wooden cat off the box at q
country show

INJURED BALL PLAYER
IS FAST RECOVERING

Friends OF Catcher Engle OF ths
Navy Yard team. who had his arm
broken in a game several weeks ago,
will be glad 20 hear that he is fast
improving, although 1t IS improbable
that he will be able to play in any
more games with his team this sea-
son. Engle is one Of the best-liked
ball players in the league and is
favorite with the fans. His absence
Is felt considerably by his team, as he
is rated az the best. or one Of the best,
catchers in the league. The injury to
his arm occurred several weeks ago In
a game with the Baptists. A pitched
ball glanced from the batter's bat and
struck the nifty little catcher full on
his unprotected arm, knocking 1t out
of place. A quick throw to second
base TO catch a runner wrenched the
arm and completed the injury.

QUIET DAY IN POLICE
CIRCLES IS REPORTED

Yesterday was a quiet day in police
circles as far as making as many ar
rests as have been made during the
past few days. Only twelve arrests
were made in the last twenty four
hours ending last night at 1900 p. m.
The police are on the job alright, but
there does not seem to be a great
tendency on the part OF the public to
break the laws OF the city. Four Of
the twelve arrests were on charges OF
gambling and the others were for
miscellaneous charges.

day morning one of the first cases aired
was that of two women, J. I. Young and
Lottie Benefited, who were charged with
lettering Several officers of the police
force testified to having seen the defend
ants lettering, and some remarks were
passed about the proof of the statement
OF officer Bowman. The case was finally
closed. the recorders side playing the
winning stroke which was SIS and costs
to each of the defendants. When the
two women were leaving the court room
the husband of Mrs. Benefield gave way
to passion OF anger and made an effort
to get some redress before Judge Morey,
and getting no satisfaction from his eff
fort he made a remark to officer Bow
man that caused the officer to leave the
court room very hurriedly In pursuit Of
the man. Trouble was looked for. but
failed to mature as everything was set
tied to the satisfaction Of both the Of
ficer and the man.
Another case was that Of Clarence
Moore. who had been found guilty Of con-
tempt OF court Wednesday. Judge Mercy
was direct to the point IN explaining to
the defendant the matter of contempt of

reached Moore was remanded to jail
again.
The manner IN which Judge Morey ham
dies the municipal court is very credita-
BILE. and Is noteworthy that he has so
much patience with all who come before
him.

IMPROVEMENT IN
BUSINESS In 1922
ROGER w. BABSON TELLS
kIWANIS CONVENTION.

CLEVELAND, o., June 81. -
Addressing this afternoons session
of the fifth international convention
of the Kiwanis clubs, Roger w, Bah
son, statistician of Boston, speaking
on the business outlook" said fund
amentally the country was sound but
that there was no improvement in
business conditions in sight before
1922.
Business men believe in the law
of supply and demand" he said, but
all want the law suspended so far
as it applies to their particlar busin-
ess. The farmer is asking for lower
for his wheat and corn; the railroads
are working for lower prices for rails
yet want to keep the cost of trans
portation fixed; while the labor lead
ers are clamoring for reduction of
priced labor but wants a fair price
the cost of living and at the same
time are fighting all wage reductions.
"Uslless something radical is
done, it will be two or three years
before we again have prosperity.
With railroad rates up, wages up
and everything else up, it is inn
possible to start property. Ii
railroads would reduce rates, wages
workers reduce wages and retailers
reduce prices until the six hundren
Thousand freight cars now ilde get
filled and moving, we could get
started"
In an interview Mr.. Babson said
the collapse Of prices in Wall street
is due to the economic situation in
Europe. .o r..

The enforcement of law is the one
big thing over which officers stumble,
instead Of having. the law repealed or
changed. If some of the city ordin-
ances don't suit, repeal them. A
sworn officer must do his duty, and
Mayor Radabaugh is doing that. It
is an easy matter to be critic, but it
