GAMING EVIDENCE
CANNOT Be FOUND
Prince Georges Body Unable
to Get Facts for
Indictments.
BY a stan correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, october TO-
Concluding from their Investigations
that gambling undoubtedly is carried
on in a large scale in Prince Georges
County the October grand jury today
reported to Judge Joseph c. Mattingly
that it had nevertheless been unable
to obtain sufficient evidence on which
to base an indictment.
I'VE cannot but reach the conclusion
that our county win not be rid of these
places until the duly constituted au-
thorities make q determined effort to
stamp them out"
Says Hands Are Tied.
The jury's report declared that it had
examined the names of those supposed
to have information concerning gam
bling houses, but many, il not all, OF
the witnesses called said they knew
of the existence Of gambling places,
but denied having any definite infor-
nation concerning their operations.
Under these circumstances, the jury
told the court, its hands were tied until
the ofacers of the law or interested
citizens produce evidence sufficiently
definite to justify an indictment.
The Jury made a lengthy nvestlga-
ton of the gambling situation IN com.
pliance with the charge from CHIEF
Judge w. Mitchell Digges at the open
ing of the court. The star witness
was Charles B. Calvert. Mount Rainier
attorney, who had previously COM
planned of gambling establishment
on BladenSburg road to practically all
the officials in the county.
Calvert also complained that there
was collision between police and bonds
men and this charge was also sustained.
However, in this case. the jury again
reported that 1t. did not receive SUM-
Gent evidence to justify Indictment,
although it reported that In instances
there is we'll defined collision between
the officers Of. the law and bondsmen,
aided to a certain extent by certain
magistrates in the county"
The jury recommended that the next
legislature investigate this situation
and make some effort to remedy 1t by
legislation.
Reiterating the recommendations Of
the April grand jury, the october jury
suggested that the county commissioners
take steps to erect county building In
or near Hyattsville which would house
the Police Court, county offices and
agents stationed in the vicinity, and in
ciude a substation of the county Jail to
take the place OF the Bladensourg ano
Hyattsville jails, which the jury said
appeared to be entirely inadequate.
"COmpetent Investigator" Urged.
Authorization Of the appointment OF
competent investigator" to assist the
States attorney and q stenographer to
take testimony heard before the grand
Jury was also recommended in the
report
The jury was In session nine days
and investigated SO cases, returned SO
indictments, ignored Is cases and dis
missed six for lack of evidence.
In excusing the jury, Judge Mat
tingly told the members that 1t would
probably be recalled before finally be-
ing dismissed at the end of six months.
If the jury is recalled, it will be the
first time a special grand jury session
has been held in the county for over
two years.

DR.. Jose T. Baron, Cuban charge d.

the United States Government to take
the necessary steps to have all refer

At the same time o. r. Strackbein,
former assistant American trade COM
missioner at Havana, told G. j. North,
chief of the motion picture division of
the Department Of Commerce, that the
picture constitutes a libel against one
of the cleanest and best police cities IN

North today declared his division of
the Department of Commerce, to which
DR.. Baron's complaint probably will be
referred, has not mandatory power over
the motion picture industry, but prob
ably would inform the distributors and
producers that the picture had been
found Objectionable.
At the Pathe Exchange, where the
picture is being distributed, it was stat
ed no complaint has been received
against the picture so far, and no action
is contemplated. Orders from the Will
