BOOKMAK|NG RAIDS
NET SIX ARRESTS
Four Places Visited and
Seizures Made After Long
Investigation Here.

Police drove a splitting wedge into
what they believe to be a powerful
betting syndicate here, protected
heretofore by a ramiied system
Hncreby bets on races were tele
phoned about town. with half a doz
EN- arrests in four simultaneous Faids
yesterday on alleged handbook Hak
ing establishments.
The raids took place at O'Clock.
For four months police had been
investigating and making plans, Then
they swooped down yesterday just
as the Maryland racing season was
singing it's swan song.
Those arrested on charges Of oper-
ating hand-books were: Samuel Rap
paport, 36, 1893 Fourteenth street
northwest: William II. Kerr, 80, of
1914 Wisconsin avenue; Walter Sond-
heimer, 80, of 1929 Twelfth street
northwest; Francis Arthur Schneider,
80. of 1921 Thirtyfourth street; Ben
jamin Marks, 45. of 1858 p street, and
Fred Alfred Melton, "a, Of 1874 Seven
teenth street northwest
Numerous Telephones.
Presence of numerous telephones
characterized three of the four places
raidcd. At apartment 333 of Kew
Gardens, where Schneider was taken,
police say they found a room in which
there was little furniture but where
there were four telephones.
At John Kileen's near-beer saloon
at 1914 Wisconsin avenue, where
Marks and Kerr were taken into GUS
tody police allege that Marks used a
small room in the rear of the saloon
for taking bets and Kerr, the bar
tender, is alleged to have taken bets
for Marks.
There were six telephones at Rap
paports apartment on an upper floor
at 1888 14th street and there were
two telehones in the room where
Melton and Sondheimer were arrest
ed on the second floor of 1349 r street
northwest.
Police reported finding racing

arrested by police of the seventh pre-
cinct, posted $4,000 bonds each, while
the three others, arrested by second
precinct police, were released OH

Began Four Months Ago.
Four months ago. Sergt. A. c. Belt
stai led to do bit of investigating
into Georgetown bookmakers. AS he
went from one development to an
other he said, he found system was
employed where establishments have
boards, located in a downtown head
quarters, from which returns were
relayed from the race track as soon
as they were received. A sort of a
clearing house" also was in opera
ton, according to the discoveries OF
Sergt. Belt. whereby a "bookie" over
loaded with bets on certain horses
could lay off some of the money with
others who were overloaded on other
animals.
AS the investigation progressed il
was planned to stage as many raids
as possible simultaneously, and yes
terday's maneuver was the result.
Capt Bean of the seventh precinct sr-
pervised the operations. The seventh
precinct squad consisted in Lieut.. Pier
son. Sergt. Belt, Detectives Burke and
Robinson, and Policeman Bragg,
while the second precinct raidlng squad.
led by Detective Bauer, included De-
tective Rector and Gibbons.

brought either Joy or sadness to the
other thousands, perhaps millions. of
fans, some of whom listened-in from
battleships at sea and Army posts
in far-off Guam.
President Coolidge, Secretaries
Weeks and Wilbur and others high
business to join in with the crowd to
watch Americas two service schools
in their yearly battle.
Senators and Representative by
the score turned-out to rub elbows
with lesser dignitaries of the Gov
ernment and the Just everyday cit
izen, all of whom wedged their way
into the horseshoe-shaped amphi-
theater.
Costumes In Contrast.
The gold braid on the uniforms Of
the officers of the Navy and Marine
Corps Wed with the f1ashy colors of
their feminine companions, and the
somber khaki of the officers of the
Army showed up in marked contrast
with the brightly tinted hats and
coats of the wives and sweethearts
they escorted.
On one side of the field the gray
clad Cadets, dotted with tints Of yell
low from megaphones, presented
dazzling appearance, rivaled only by
the blue-clad Middies, who also were
set off with orange sashes and yell
low megaphones.
Between halves more color was
thrown into the scene when the
Middies tossed confetti of the varied
hues into the air to spell the word
Navy" and the Cadets. not to be
eutdone, bedecked their cheering sec
tion with gayly colored streamers.
After the final whistle, the Cadets,
headed by a band, tumbled on the
playing field in a yelling, shouting
parade that eventually ended in
front of the Navy stands with a
bugler playing TAPS" while Gar
bisch, captain and hero of their VIC

ures which will occupy the attention
of the House. 1t has the right of
way on the suspension calendar, com

third Mondays of each month It

tion tomorrow, but the program looks
to an early adjournment out of re-

The first of the big annual ap-
preparation bilb to reach the House
will he the interior Department bill.
The House, under present plans, VIII
consider that on Thursday.
Civil Service Bill Due.
Another important bill which the
House may have before 1t for action
soon is that liberalizing the civil
service retirement act, so as to in
crease the annuities paid and reduce
the age of retirement of the Govern
ment employees.
The Senate may be called upon to
consider the. proposed adherence of
the United States to the World Court.
But whether any final action will be
had on this proposal at this session
is decidedly problematical. No doubt
demand for such action will be
made vigorously by many people in
this country.
The Democrats are watching the
strife between the regular Repub-
licans and the insurgents with amuse-
ment. They are not inclined to take
action now, at least, on the case of
Senator Wheeler, who bolted the
Democratic party to become vice
presidential nominee on the La
Toilette ticket. The probabilities are
that the story of the prodigal son
will be re-enacted in the Wheeler
case. Unlike the Republicans, they
have no special cause for holding a
party conference at this time. Their
leader, Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
continues in that Office.
Denies Obstructionist Aims.
Senator Robinson returned to Wash
ington yesterday and issued a state
ment in which he said that the Demo-
Gratis would cooperate in the passage
of the supply bills. He said also there
was no disposition on the part of
the minority to obstruct action on any
measure of general Importance, which
can be fairly considered. In his state
ment he said:
THE Indications are that among the
subjects which will receive attention
are farm relief Legislation, includ-
ing cooperative marketing, the
transportation act as 1t relates to the
adjustment of labor disputes, rate
making and freight schedules"
Senator Robinson said that he did
not believe there could be further
tax reduction at the present session
because of the condition of the Treas
ury.
AS an aftermath of the campaign
will come a report of the special
Senate committee appointed to in
vestigate campaign expenditures,
headed by Senator Borah. It is ex-
pected that report and recommend
ations for legislation setting limits
to the sums that may be expended
will be filed with the Senate.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALTIMORE, November 2s.-Being
chambermaid and cook on tramp
steamer is preferable to performing
the same duties in a house on shore,
according to Miss Anna Sodersten,
stewardess of the steamer Eros OF
Helsingfors, Finland, which arrived
in port with cargo of wood pulp.
Until six months ago she had been
cook in the house of a Helsingfors
burgher ever since she was young
girl Then, at So years of age, the
monotony began to pail and Anna de-
cided she must make a change.
She had read sea stories and the ro-
nance of the sea appealed to her. She
decided to go sailing. She induced
Capt Alexander Lila of the Eros to
ship her as stewardess. This is her
third trip and despite the fact that
she has to cook for % men. and Is
the only woman aboard the ship Anna
likes the life and will never quit, she
saws.

Air Flight Pictures Old.

Generally speaking, the air has
been conquered only within the last
25 years, but as far back as 1914
some of the calendars published in
continental Europe showed pictures
of air flights, made true enough, in
the Imagination of cartoonists who
were poking fun at the scientific ann
bitions of the day. Some of the car
toons announced air flight schedules
and listed departing hours for trip
to New York, Peking and Mount
Blanc.

Individual carrier, may elect to retain

Ben W. Hooper. chairman Of the

the employees could retain If they de-
sired their present wage scales, operat-
ing rules and negotiable rules, the lat
ter involving principally overtime pay.
December Is, 1924 is set the last

visions of the decision and the en-
ployes may answer not later than jan

these circumstances.
Democrats Are Disgu.ted.
Whether the Democratic Senator'S
will fall in with plans of the ousted
progressives to hamstring the Re-
publicans remains to be seen. Demo-
cratic Senators have expressed their
disgust with the campaign waged by
Senator La Toilette for President, a
campaign which cut so deeply into
Democratic ranks. They condemn La
Fo1lette's abandonment of his cam
paign in the West and return to the
East in the final weeks of the cam
paign. The Democratic idea was to
let La Toilette halt Coolidge in the
West while the Democrats took care
of the East.
But a Democrats Willingness to
embarrass a Republican organization
Is congenital with his political life,
and vice versa. The impulse may be
too strong to resist even If the op-
portunity arises through the insur-
gent Republicans.
In the House, where the progressive
group also holds a balance Of power,
and where for days the organization
of the House was delayed at the open
fhg of the last session of Congress,
no attempt will be made to read the
insurgents, who supported La Fol-
lette, out of the Republican party at
this time, it is said.
Confined to Funds Bills.
But at best, and even had the Re-
publicans of the Senate been less
precipitate in their action against
La Toilette and his supporters, the
sailing probably would have been
rough. 1t has been custom, how
ever, to confine the short sessions of
h u n IA
passage of the supply bills for the
Government.
President Coolidge has great as
set which he lacked during the last
session of Congress, that may assist
him in getting done those things
which he particularly desires accom-
plished. BY right of an overwhelming
vote of the people, Mr.. Coolidge is
President for the next four years. He
holds the mandate of the people as
Chief Executive. So far as party
matters are concerned, he Is the actu-
al head, as we'll as titular head, of the
Republican party. Two years hence,
the entire House and one-third of the
membership of the Senate must be
elected. Members of Congress may
find it more difficult to defy the Presi-
dent in the present session than 1t
was in the last. The President was
the sine qua non of the Republican
party in the last campaign and cleo
| ton. Republican gains in Congress
were made largely because of the
great popularity of the President, and
not because the people cared par
ticularly for the Republican candi-
dates for Congress.
Important Measures Up.
In the Senate several important
| measures and a long list of less i'm
portant bills are on the calendar for
consideration and action. Lying on
the table. ready to be called up. is
the Presidents veto of the postal
employees salary bill. 1t is expected,
however, that the first bill which will
be given consideration Is the def
cheney bill, which failed of action in
the final hours of the last session.
That measure probably will be con-
sidered Tuesday. On Wednesday, un-
der a unanimous consent agreement
entered into at the last session, the
Muscle Shoals bill will be taken up.

Forty-Niners Pass Bonanza.

Although any forty-niner who made
good in the gold rush to California
in 1S49 had no bone to pick with his
fate, 1t is a comment that many of
them and their brothers who were
not so successful walked right over
a rich bonanza in the southern part
of Mexico, along the 1sthmus Of Pan
anna, over which many of them trek
ked. Along the River of the Winding
Snake many forty-niners walked on
their way to the Pacific Coast. little
knowing that later prospectors would
find a rich field of oil beneath their
