Edwards In court whenever neces-
sary.
An apparent split has occurred
between the three prisoners, who
have been lodged in the District
jail since the jury convicted
them on Friday.
It was learned at the court
house today that Edwards, who
has occupied a double cell at the
jail with the other two prisoners,
has been given a separate cell.
Pitts and Anadale Together
When the three prisoners ar
rived at the courthouse this morn
ing IN a Jail van, Pitts and Ana
dale was manacled together as
they were led to the prisoners
dock. Edwards, han dcuf9ed,
walked behind them. They were
put in separate cells in the dock.
While awaiting court to con-
vene, Edwards was in consulta-
tion with an attorney who was
identified with the defense in the
recent four-week trial.
The motions for a new trial and
arrested judgment were argued by
Frank G. RaiOhle, of the defense
counsel.
After thes had been denied, Mr..
H0rning then began his argument
for admission Of defendants to
bail.
Tells Of Mercy Plea
He stated that he had learned
that the Government intends to
try Pitts on an enbezzlement
charge early in January and de-
clared that. If the prisoner was
fore I'd to come in and lut of the
courtroom accompanied by a dep
uty marshall during this trial, it
would prove prejudicial to him.
i, The attorney also stated that
one of the jurors, who sat in the
recent trial, had informed him
that the entire jury was appar-
emily willing to sign petition
recommending the mercy Of the
court for Edwards and Anadale.

today were dumbfounded at news
that daily clearing house reports

How the Scheme Works
This game, which reaches
throughout most parts Of the
city and Is said to give employ
ment to at least $50 persons, is
based on the publication of
these daily reports and If they
are withheld the game will flop.
In Washington, it is alleged
that the majority of the bets were
run between S and 20 cents COM
bination. 1t is reported that the
game is run in this fashion:
First the person seeking to lay
a bet picks out three numbers
from / to 10 and arranges them
i, any combination he, desires. He
can then bet on this one combina-
ton as 354 or he can bet "all
ways" and the figures will be
changed 453, 543, 435, etc.
There are six ways these three
figures can be read and il any of
these combinations are the same
as the eighth and seventh figures

enth figure of the Clearing House
balance number reading from

bel wins.

If he bet S cents "all ways"
and a combination "hitS," he
would get sat and the runner"
who took the bet from him for
the numbers operator would get
SO as his 10 per cent Of the hit"
number.
If none Of the combinations on
the bet make a "hit" the runner
would be paid IS per cent Of the
money he collected on the bet.
The other rs per cent he would
have to turn over to the operator.
A gambling house IN Maryland
is alleged to give 1000 to l on
numbers bets but the bettor must
lay at least 81 on each number.
In washington also it is re-
ported that If Policy Pete, who

Mirror, picks 8 winning number

Transfer Now Going On
This transfer of employees is
now going on, and it has already
become apparent to bureau work
ers that very few of their number
from the local and suburban ter
ritory are being included. Eff
cheney records and other elements
showing good service do not enter
into the calculations Of those
making up the transfer lists, they
say.
The exact reasons why Census
Bureau officials have adopted
this policy have not been dis
closed. They deny that any such
policy has been in force, despite
the facts now disclosed. It Is
thought, however, that the gen.
eraI condition in the Federal de-
partments, in nearly all of which
the District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia have exceeded their Civil
Service quotas in relation to the
other States, has had much to
do with it.
Members of Congress from time

mission and departmental Off

ton to population than they now

Efforts to Beat Norris and
Other Nominees Split Ranks;
Borah and Watkins Clash

Sweeping disaffection in Re
publican ranks in the Senate,
growing out of revelations of
efforts Of Republican national
committee officials to defeat In
surgents, caused deep concern
among administration leaders to-
day lest it disrupt their legisla-
tive program and force the call
ing of q special session Of the
seventy-Second Congress.
The Hoover administration, to
avoid a special session, nlst
secure enactment of twelve major
appropriation bills, carrying about
$4,5O0, ,OOO, 600 for Government
departments within two months
when Congress reconvenes jan
uary S.
The defeat Of one or more of
these bills would compel the
closing of Government depart
ments or the calling Of an extra
session.
Party Chiefs Accused
The attack of Robert H. Lucas.
executive director of the Repub-
lican national committee, on Sen
ator George W.. Norris, veteran
Insurgent leader, was reported to
be but one of several drives
against western progresSives. The
Insurgents themselves charged
the party's leaders had helped to
defeat Senator w. H. McMaster
Of South Dakota, and tried to
beat Senator Thomas D. Schall
In Minnesota.
The old irreconciliable group,
comprising regular as well as In
surgent Senators, annoyed the
administration too. The irreecn-
cilables demanded that President
Hoover declare against the call
ing of q special session to dis
pose Of the league court.
