machines operating in business
places in the District, sought an In
junction to restrain seizure of the
machines by Rover and Edwin B.
Hesse, superintendent of police. has

He denies Whites statement that

The Government also holds that
the operation of the machines Is
contrary to the District laws, and,
upon that ground, challenges the
