John E. Comm, IS, Draws
Double Sentence and Fine

Record action by police and the
Police Court was recorded in the

arrested yesterday on 9Th street
near Pennsylvania avenue. and
charged with taking bets on the
races Less than twenty-four hours
after his arrest Judge Mattingly in

Declines Jury Trial.
Comm elected to be tried by Judge
Mattingly. rather than by jury.
Evidence of marked money, which
had been used in the making of a bet,
resulted in conviction and speedy
sentence.
Both police and the District at

Using auguries of success in the
handling of handbook cases. Since
Commissioner oyster and Maj. Sulli-
van opened war on handbook men,
ire cry has been for close co-opera-
nion between the courts, the office of
the District attorney and the police
department.
Police are satisfied that the court
means business. The plant, which
formerly went up, that the cases
were stacked and stacked until there
was almost no use making arrests
because of the tardy handling of the
cases completely disappears in the
face of such action.
Ten Arrests in August.
In August, all told, there were
ten bookie arrests. which is nine
more than in July. Within the next
few days. with the Police Court Jury
back in it's box, it is expected the
cases will take precedence of liquor
cases in an effort to clean UP scores
of pending cases.
The bookies around town are begin
ming to drift back from vacations and
to open up" a trifie. BY no means
are they accepting bets SO recklessly
as some did prior to the recent
articles in The Evening Star regard
ing the prevalence of handbook
making.
That the bookies are becoming more
and more wary, however, is evidenced
by the fact that many bets are tele-
Ehoned from the runners" as soon
after the bet has been made as pos
sible. There, at bookie headquarters
a record is made. and the temporary
slip given the runner Is torn up.

Stands on Record.

While l do not question the mo-

regretted that some of the statements
they made are in error, and that those
who signed them did not obtain their
facts from authoritive sources.

GARBAGE REMOVAL HIT

Although the school estimates for
next year will have to be trimmed to
lower figure than sS.4O0.00O, the
items thus eliminated will be pre-
vented to the budget bureau in the
list of supplemental requests being
prepared by the Commissioners.
This was learned today from high
oflcial of the District government.

education would oppose slashing the
school estimates The Commission
ers had no more desire. II was point
ed out to cut the figures of the
board of education than they had to
reduce the original estimates of viz
tually every other branch of the mu-
nicipal government.
But. when Gen. Lord. director or
the budget. told the city heads that
the local budget had to be reduced
from s27,700,GO0 to S24 500. 900 there
was nothing left to do, but cut.

In directing this drastic reduction
in the budget, however. Gen. Lord
told the Commissioners that, if they
ule of the urgent projects eliminated
from the regular estimates. he would
hear arguments in support of these
emergency items before transmitting
his report to Congress.
Take the matter Of street improve
ments, for example The original re-
quest of the engineer department

the many highways that are in need
of surfacing. This figure had to be
cut nearly to 100000
The million thus cut from the regu-
lar budget was placed on, the list of
supplemental items and il was made
apparent today. the same course will
be pursued in the case of school esti-
mates.
Inquiry at the District building today
brought out the fact that If the Com
mlssioners cut very much from the es-
Inmates of the city refuse department
that agency may be seriously hampercd
in collecting ashes, trash and garbage
next year
In the current appropriation act Con-
gress allowed only $3.50. geo for dispose
cleaning. 1t is reported that the new
estimates called for approximately
s900.o00 for city refuse and slight in
crease for street cleaning.
The annual report of the city refuse
department, made public last week
shows how the volume of garbage is in
creasing as row after row of new
houses are added to the collection area
1t is thus apparent that If the appru-
priation stands still while the COM
munity grows the city refuse division is
not going TO be able to make ends
meet next year.
The collection of garbage is regarded
by city officials as one of the most i'm
portant municipal functions. Other mu-
n:cipal functions may lag and cause in
convenience to taxpayers, but a can Uf
