Unheeded Warning
Of Gaming Raiders

Man and Rounds up
Score of Witnesses.

Sergt o. j. Letterman and his vice
squad arrested one man on a charge of
setting up a gaming table and were en-
abled to round up score OF witnesses
yesterday afternoon, in raid on the
second floor of building at Louisiana
avenue and Tenth street, despite the
fact that Growing ROSTERS and cackhrig
hens in a commission house on the
ground floor should have given ample
warning of their approach.
AS soon as the policemen entered the
building the fowls set up a great
clamor, but not until some one sounded
a gong by way of warning, Sergt. Let
terman said, did the men upstairs take
alarm. The policemen made their way
into the second-floor quarters, they
charge, just as Victor B. Wheatley, %,
of the first block of Myrtle street south
east, tried to hide quantity of racing
slips up the chimney.
The police seized the papers and had
Wheatley booked on the gaming charge.
Gambling had been in progress at the
establishment for a year past, accord
ing to Sergt. Letterman.

victed on the same charge few months
ago, Doheny is here ready to go on
tell his story of lending 100000 to

Discarding the cslorful habiliments OF
their favorite fiction characters, Pop
gun Pete" and "Bolero Bob" the recent
bearers of those two names today were
inst a couple of chastened little boys OF
nine going -on-ten, fearfully and some
what tearfully awaiting the outcome OF
diplomatic conversations between their
fathers and their principal victim;
The two "desperadoeS," bored with
the us,1al pursuits of small boys, hit
upon the great idea of applying their
playtime characters to some defnlte
pursuit in the fashionable neighborhooo
of Chevy Chase adjoining the Columbia
Country Club last WEDNESDAY nlShI
with varying results.
In a couple of instances they AFFORDED
vast amusement for the neighbors, out
they reckoned not upon their threats OF
impending doom for nelghbor across
the street falling upon ears attuneo 10
taking such things seriously, ana tnere-
by they precipitated an honest-to- gooo,
ness manhunt along West underwood
street.
Found Asleep in Bed.
The manhunt was started early Thurs
day morning by a special squad OF
Montgomery County policemen, and
continued through the day, the hunts
men getting ever hotter and hotter on
the trail of "Popgun Pete" and his
trusty lieutenant, "Bolero Bob"
The end of the trail was reached
Thursday night, when the posse, con-
sisting of two county policemen, ar
rived at the home of John Lyon, 80
West Underwood street. and there found
''Popgun Pete" and "Bolero Bob" peace
fully sleeping in the room the Ligons
use for a nursery. "Popgun Pete" and
"Bolero Bob" we're John Lyon, jr., and
his chum, Bobby Shelton, son Of DR..
Charles R. Shelton Of 225 Rosemary
street, Chevy Chase.
"Popgun Pete" and "Bolero Bob" did
considerable explaining. with the result
that their fathers passed the matter
over as a boys prank. So did the

The Belle of Barcelona" a colorful
musical comedy in three acts, was pre-
Sented last night by the Glee Clubs of
Central High School before an en-
thusiastic audience.
Under the direction Of Mrs. j. w.
Torbert the large cast handled the
singing with a freshness and tonal
Smoothness that merited praise. And
the leading lady, Mary Middleton, dis
played soprano voice that was un-
usually pleasing.
Although the leading players. Roswell
Bryant, Huron Smith, Frank Leach and
Charlotte Wallace, sang their songs well
it remained for the comedy team OF
Ruth Martin Simpson and Eugene
kreSsin TO run away with honors.
Others who contributed to the meri-
torious production included Mary
Louise Jones, Betty Kerbey, Richard
Tuve, William Wrenn and Anna Green
berg, solo dancer. The music was nrn-
vided by the school orchestra. This
musical comedy will be repeated tonirht

death, destruction and torture were
given and the fateful hour was set at
midnight.
Police Are Called.
Not so, however, were the threats re-
garded by the third recipient of a We'd
nesday evening warning. 1t was B.
r. Walters, who lives at 10 West IN
derwood street, who received that warn
ing. 1t was as full of dire threats as
the two preceding calls, and The time
for Mr.. Walters doom Was definitely
fixed at midnight.
Mr.. Walters called the police.
Moreover, Mr.. Walters doesn't intend
to let 1t stop there now that the man
hunt has ended. There Is a Juvenile
Court in Rockville fashioned out of the
machinery of the law for lust such
cases. he has intimated to DR.. Shelton
and Mr.. Lyon. Such playful pranks
OF youngsters suggest criminal instincts,
he has further suggested.
Yesterday "Bolero Bob" heard DR..
Shelton talking to MIR. Walters about
the case, and overheard vague refer
ences to Juvenile Court" and reform
school. 'Bolero Bob" Immediately con-
tracted a fit Of nervous crying and be-
came quite ill.
"MisIed by Movies"
"Pop-gun Pete" has withstood the
strain little better, outwardly. but he
doesn't feel he's out of the woods yet by
long shot.
Meanwhile, DR.. Shelton and Mr..
Lyon are trying to convince Mr.. Wal
tiers that boys do play such pranks in
a wholesome, boyish way, occasionally.
Mrs. Walters today declared that she
thought the telephone calls of the boys
were indications that the youth of this
country is being misled by motion pic
lures.
I'VE have always been friendly with
the children of the neighborhood,
though we have no children of our
own" Mrs. Walters declared. ct can
not see why they picked on Mr.. Wal
tiers and me for such a trick"
Mrs. Walters said Mr.. Walters has
not decided what action he will take
in the matter, but she pointed out that
her husband wants the children to
learn a lesson from the experience.

Independent Group Considers
Revival of "Jitney" Service.
Manager States.
DAVIS SAYS OWNERS
WANT AN EVEN BREAK
Introduction of Flat Rate by Sew
eral Companies Held Reason
for Action.

A long anticipated "rate war be-
tween several of Washington's taxicab
companies appeared imminent today
with q disclosure by Harry G. Davis,
general manager of the Independent
Taxi Owners Association, that the Dia-
mond cab drivers are considering the
revival of the 10-cent "jitney" service
which they started several years ago
and abandoned after several days OPP
Grafton.
Davis said the independents feel that
the "jitney" service would be the only
effective protest against the failure of
the Public Utilities Commission and the
District Commissioners to regulate taxi
rates and operations" The Diamond
operators, however, he pointed out, have
not definitely decided to introduce the
service.
Want an Even Break.
"All the independent owners want is
an even break" declared Davis. Cabs
Of other companies can do anything
they please without interference, but
our drivers are forced to remain on
established hack stands
Recent introduction of a 35-cent nat
rate service by several companies is
believed to have stirred the independ-
ents into planning a renewal Of the
"titney" service. Their first venture in
this field came to an abrupt end when
rainy morning increased the demand
for regular service and the drivers on
the 10-cent routes turned to the more
profitable full-fare passengers.
The original "jitney' service Of the
Independents covered a half dozen
routes from established hack stands to
the various Government departments
This service was operated only during
the morning rush hour.
$40 Diamond Cabs in City.
Davis said there are $40 Diamond
cabs in Washington, a majority of
which would be used in the "jitney"
service, If 1t is started He indicated
that decision may be reached early
next week on the proposal to renew
the service.
The likelihood of resumption of the
"Jitney" operation is being seriously
considered by the Utilities Commission.
and there were indications that it would
take steps to stop the service If the
CABS operate over definite routes or
routes paralleling street car lines. The
question of the authority of the COM
mission to inference with such service
when 1t completes with the car lines
came up during the first '.jitney'' OBJ
erations, but was never definitely de-
cided.
