PLANS DRIVE TO RID
CITY OF GAMBLING
Hesse Forms Special Squad
to Work as Undercover Men.
Guards Against Leaks.

An intensive drive to rid the city OF
gambling places is the aim of Maj. Ed
win B. Hesse, superintendent OF police,
in the formation yesterday OF squad
under Sergt. o. j. Letterman of the
first precinct, who recently has con-
Quoted many successful raids in the
business district. Members Of his squad
Will work as undercover men.
The new squad will not affect De-
tectiveS Frank T. Varney and Hubert
E. Brodie. part of whose duties the past
few months has been in connection with
the departments efforts to enforce the
gambling law.
Maj. Hesse pointed out that none Of
the evidence in the gambling cases will
be collected by paid informers, but all
Will be obtained by bona fde police Of
f1cers The new gambling squad will
work In cooperation with Sergt George
~ Little and his liquor investigators, as
IN nearly all gambling Investigations
liquor evidence also has been uncovered.
Many Raids Past Month.
Maj. Hesse hopes additional efforts
TO roundup the gamblers will prove
eHectiVe. Many raids have been made
In the city the past month, numerous
persons arrested and much parapher-
MALTA seized, and it has come to the
knowledge OF the police that there are
still many violators of the law here.
From time to time trouble has been
experienced with the trials of gam
bling cases in which paid informers were
chief witnesses. and it was because of
Mai. HesSe'S desire to eliminate this
trouble in the future that he decided
to confine the investigations strictly to
members of the force
Persons caught in raids will be sum-
moned as witnesses, as has been the
practice heretofore. and police may
hold all patrons Of gambling games
lnder bond for their appearance. It
Is pointed out that patrons of such
establishments make 1t possible for the
'iolators Of law to continue their efforts
to live without having to resort to
manual labor.
Precautions Against Leaks.
"It is the intention Of Mai. Hesse to
have members of the squad work out
OF headquarters and they are to take
every precaution against leaks such as
prevented successful raids here short
time ago Mai. Hesse this morning
said the department will welcome in
formation of violations of the gambling
law from any source. whether anony-
nous or otherwise
Members OF the newly organized
squad expect the receipt of informa-
ton from wives and mothers who suf-
fer financial loss and, in some in
stances. suffering, because money they
should receive goes into the Golfers OF
the professional gamblers.

General Jacob S. Coxey yester-
day celebrated the thirty-fourth
anniversary of his famous march
of the jobless on Washington, be-
moaning the fact that the jobless,

form in another army to march
on Washington, insisted that he
furnish motor trucks.
Miles are getting longer and
shoe leather comes high" they
told Coxey. who spoke at the
Open Forum at the Playhouse
yesterday.
So the General" left New
York, where he had tried to re-
cruit his new army, and came
here to celebrate the natal day
of his first march that cost him
a IS fine, 20 days in the work
house, world, wide publicity and a
place in history.

BILL IN
HOUSE HOLDS
OVER

District Of Columbia legis-
lation has the right of way
in the House today. This is
the second District Day Of
the session.
Only seven bills are scheduled to
be acted upon today. They proba-
bly, will be disposed of in quick
order because Representative Fred
erick n. Zihlnan. of Maryland,
chairman of the District Committee,
will not bring up for consideration
the only controversial bin which
was slated to be considered 1.-THE
Gibson bill to give the Woman's
Bureau of the Police Department
permanent legal status.
Zihlman agreed at the last mo-
ment not to bring this bill up, on
the request of Representative Ernest
w. Gibson Of Vermont, author OF
the measure.
! Gibson would not reveal his rea-
son for blocking consideration OF
the bin today. He denied rumor
that the committee is planning to
Eec8u AuIo Dhls WItl1M MS.
r. Van Wrinkle. chief OF the bu-
reau, has been trying to get through
Congress for many years.
The other more imp ortan. bills on
fOday's calendar are 10 provide for
the regulation of bonds1nen furnish
Ing bonds TO criminals; to prohtblt
giving false information to police:
70 give police authority to detain
fugitives from justice. and to give
the District Commissioners authority
TO settle certain suits with the
eaiIroad companies.
The railroad suits have arisen
from damages to streets above the
southern railroad tunnel. The Com
missioners would be authorized by
the bill to compromise for not less
than 100000.
Other bills listed for considera-
ton today are to broaden the in
CORPORATION act of Catholic Univer-
kity: to give the Corporation Coun-
sells office the right to administer
aaths at court and to regulate
liability for participation In breaches
Of ffduciary obligations.
Another bill is on the House cal
endar, but will not be considered
today by agreement between House
leaders and Representative Fred
erick n. Zihiman of Maryland. 1t
Is to raise the pay of firemen and
policemen.
Friends of the bill feel that If
they call the bill up today 1t will
be defeated because of the OppOsi.

MERCHANTS
WEIGH BILL

Pledging the support of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa.
ton to the WEIGH BILL now pending
in Congress, Maj. Gen. Anton
stephan, president Of that body. has
written a letter to Representative
Richard J. WeIch, commencing his
efforts in behalf Of Federal en-
ployes in the District.
This association has long felt
that these faithful employees OF the
Federal Government are entitled to
more commensurate return on the
services rendered" the letter reads.
Such an increase as is provided
in the new bill will doubtless result
in the Government holding many of
the scientific men who now find it
necessary to leave the Government
service to enter the employ of
private industry on account of the
higher financial return

8. v. MARKET

The market site issue has been
clouded, not by facts pertaining to
the interest of actual buyers and
sellers there, but by powerful inter.
ests who have been behind the
southwest site for personal financial
reasons, is the statement credited
to Senator Willard +. Tydings OF
Maryland last night
Senator Tydings says those who
actually sell and buy in the market
should receive first consideration.
This will not he done if the
Stalker bill is passed. according to
civic clubs and citizen associations
of the city. which have been re-
corded unanimously as opposing the
bill.
The market site should be 10.
Gated north of Pennsylvania Av.
enue, with the retail selling privilege
continued, they point out, because
such a site would be more centrally
located and available to more
people.
They also point to the funda.
