One Of the most novel uses to which the Army puts
the moving pictures produced by the Photographic

as targets for testing the skill of rihemen. An

for Track rSerUice'

time the race started and fin
ished.
It was explained the raise in
rates was due to efforts Of police
in closing the "open joints" The
activities Of the police resulted in
the closing Of many Of these
places, which were run on a per-
centage basis and accountable to
one of the several big bookmakers.
Pays $7OO a Month
One of these big bOOkmakers Is
reputed to have been paying about
S7OO a month. It is said that the
actual loss in revenue to the serv.
ice company on account Of the
shutdown was between $1,000 and
S1,5OO a week. The contemplated
raise il is said is to make up this
deficiency.
Nearly all Of the big bookmakers
are back in business, but they are
not plying their trade as openly
as before. One of the biggest op-
orators, it is said, is working from
a suite Of rooms in a downtown
hotel and is conducting . tele-

BLAINE LIKELY.
TO QUIT D. c.
COMMITTEE
Blue Sky Bills Seen Sure
to Lapse If He Is Out;
Shake-up Faced by Group

Senator John j. Blaine (R.) of
Wisconsin, sponsor of the trio Of
bills designed to eliminate fraud
and corruption from the local in
vestment and real estate business,
probably will not be a member
of the Senate District Committee
in the new Congress.
This was indicated today by
the Wisconsin legislator who de-
clared it is by no means certain
he will be on the committee in
December.
On Group for Years
Senator Blaine for years has
taken an active part in the de.
liberations Of the committee and
was regarded as one of its
staunchest members.
During the last year Senator
Blaine conducted a sensational
investigation of practices in the
real estate and investment busi-
ness and led the futile fight on
the floor Of the Senate for enact
ment of three stringent bills
which would have provided strict
supervision Of practices in these
fields.
It had been expected that he
would return to the District Com
mittee and again champion these
bills in the new Congress.
Radical Change Certain
Whether Senator Blaine leaves
the committee or not, it is GER
tain that there will be q radical
shakeup in the personnel Of the
group in the new Congress. Sen
ator Arthur Capper R0, of Kan
sas, chairman, is already on the
lookout for new material which
would strengthen the committee.

Robbers worked for more than
two hours last night to blow q
safe in the office Of the Wash
ington Laundry, 1927 K st. N.
W., while in nearby chair a
72-year-old night watchman Strug-
gled to release his bonds and
obtain assistance.
The sturdy iron box resisted
four terrific dynamite blasts and
the three men were finally
frightened away by q passerby.
Watchman OverpOwered
The trio overpowered Joseph
Cole, 1921 K st. N. W., the
watchman, as he was making his
rounds and tied him to chair.
Then one Of the robbers stood
guard over him while the other
two jimmied the office door open.
First they knocked off the
combination knob and then
using a big drill, attempted to
cut into the inner mechanism.
Small pieces of dynamite were
forced into the opening and fuse
set.
Then the bandits took linen
from nearby shelves and muffled
the safe. The fuse was lighted
but the explosion had little ef-
feet upon the heavy door.
This performance was repeated
three times.
AS the robbers were preparing
to place fifth charge, the guard,
hearing a passerby, whistled. All
three ran.
Heard, Leaving in Car

Good Record SGUeS
Policeman His job

The good record Of Policeman
James w. Casey, of the Fourth
Precinct, during his IL years on

day, when the District Commits
sioners modified a sentence Of
dismissal by the Police Trial
Board to a fine Of 500.
The policeman, whose record
bears half a dozen commenda-
tions, was found guilty of con-
duct unbecoming an officer by
the trial board. The charges
grew out of an automobile acci-
dent at Seventh Street and Flor
ida Avenue Northeast on June II,
when Casey's car was in collision
with an auto driven by Kirk Roth,
of Harvey, Ill. An accusation Of
hit-and-run was made against him.
