Y vOW does publication Of the
"mutuel totals" by a news
paper help the numbers
L i racket?
A numbers runner told
Star reporter the other day that four
people out of five who play the num-
bers game regularly depend altogether
on the totals" for their information
on the winning number, or "pay-off." "
That is just a guess. But try it your
self and make your own conclusion.
The numbers game now is being run
with the total prices paid in the first
three races at Houston, Tex. Maybe
there is legitimate interest in the
prices paid by winners of races at
Houston, although bookmaking is lille
gal in the District But the totals
of these prices has no interest to any
body not playing the numbers game.
Explanation of System.
Here is how it is worked. A news
paper prints the Houston results as
follows:
HOUSTON.

Grand jurors who investigated ac-
cusations of criminal negligence in
the disaster deliberated during the
afternoon in private, but no lndlct-
ment was handed up. The grand jury,
it was reported, will meet again on
Monday, when its three months
tenure expires.
The fact that yesterday afternoon
sessions we're unattended by legal ad-
visers gave rise to the belief that the
Jurors voted on indictments.
Warns and Abbott, who previously
had been before the grand jury, were
pacing the long corridor outside the
Jury room when a bailiff arrived to
escort them to the Commissioner S
Court for arraignment.
Both the officers, with three others
aboard the Moro Castle at the time
of the holocaust, are on trial also be-
fore steamboat inspectors for possible
revocation of their licenses.

sworn to by Francis j. Kilmartln, spe-
cial agent for the Department of JUS
tice. charged the acting captain I'm

duties did fail to take such steps as
were necessary for the safety Of up
ward of 200 passengers and as re-
suit of his misconduct, negligence and
inattention to his duties the lives OF
upward of so persons were destroyed
Abbott Charge Similar.
The complaint against Abbott
charged that he 'unlawfully and will
fully, by misconduct, negligence and
inattention to his duties, did fail to
report to his station when he learned
that fire had been reported on the
Moro Castle. and, as result OF this
misconduct, negligence and inatten-
ton, the lives of upward of SO persons
were destroyed"
The Moro Castle was swept by a
mysterious fire off the Jersey coast
September 8, with Warns on the
bridge following the sudden death OF
her master, Capt. Robert R. Willmot
A Federal board of inquiry that
directed the five ships officers to
defend their licenses alleged that
failure to halt the blazing vessel
sooner delay in wirelessing distress
signals and inefficient handling of
life boats were in part responsible
for at least some of the 1874 deaths.
