GAMBLERS ARREST.
0RDEREDBY BOARD
No Operators Will Be Al
lowed in County,
Police Told.

Summary arrest of all persons who
attempt to operate gambling houses
in Prince Georges County was Or
dered by the county commissioner to-
day.
On Monday, the commissioners in
structed the county police force to
close Jimmy's place, on Bladensburg
road, keep it closed, and see that its
operators do not reopen elsewhere
in the county.
There have been no raids since
then, the commissioners explained,
because the gamblers were allowed
"a reasonable time" in which to re-
move their equipment.
The period of grace" is over now
however, members of the county board
said, and police have orders to ar
rest at once all persons who violate
the gambling laws.
Prosecution Uncertain.
Efforts have been made to get
us to obtain warrants for Jimmy La
Fontaine for alleged gambling law
violations that have occurred at the
Bladensburg road establishment in
the past. but We do not consider that
part of our duty" spokesmen for the
commissioners said. We intend to
see that there is no more organized
gambling in the county, but the prose-
cution Of violators is up to police and
the States attorney.
States Attorney Alan Bowie, who
has pledged his support to the COM
missioners' anti-gambling campaign,
said he would lay whatever evidence
is presented to him before the grand
jury. That body will not meet again
until April, however, unless called into
special session by Judge Joseph c.
Matttingly.
La Fontaine Rumors.
Reports that La Fontaine may have
left the vicinity of Washington because
Of the anti-gambling campaign were
proved groundless. 1t was learned he
had been seen by county officials, who
delivered the commissioners ultima
tum against further operation Of his
establishment. La Fontaine's reaction
to the county boards order is un-
known.
All was quiet on the county's gam
bling front yesterday. Whether the
inactivity was a mere Christmas
truce" or marked the permanent ces-
sation of organized gambling in Prince
Georges was a matter OF speculation
Chief of Police j. j. Crowley said
today his men are ready to prevent
the opening of any new gambling eS-
tablishments in defiance of the COM
missioners' order.
Lieut.. George Little, head of the
District police vice squad. said he was
still keeping patrol around the Dis
trict boundary to Jimmy's place to
detect any activity within the great
gray brick house, officially carried on
Maryland tax records as hotel.

AUTO OUTPUT
AIDS BUSINESS
Transportation Lines Share
Prosperity in First
Half of Year.

Railroads, boat lines, trucking
companies and even air lines greatly
benefited by the increased produc-
ton of automobiles during the first
six months of 1884, according to
statistics recently analysed by the
Chevrolet Motor Company.
During this period, automobile
companies sold and registered more
than a million passenger cars and
trucks in the United States alone.
The hauling of raw materials to the
various factories and the movement
of finished cars and trucks from fac
tory to dealer make the automotive
industry one Of the greatest con-
tributors to transportation revenue.
Chevrolet, according to figures re-
leased, uses all channels of trans
portation in manufacturing assem-
bling and delivering cars.
Three hundred and sixty railroads
and numerous boat lines and truck
ing companies hauled 2,111,798 tons
of Chevrolet freight during the first
six months of 1884. During this
time Chevrolet used 96,973 freight
cars and the tonnage moved by
means other than rail would have
required an additional 63,528 freight
cars.
This one motor manufacturer has
thus contributed more than $780,
100000 to the nations transporta-
ton systems. These figures do not
include shipments Of parts and &C
cessories by airplane, an innovation
in the automotive industry which is
growing increasingly popular with
dealers everywhere.

largest June shipments since 1881.

This increase in the company'S

ORIENTAL MOTORISTS
SHUN BLACK AUTOS;
THEY PREFER YELLOW

Black automobiles rarely are
shipped to the Orient. Public
taste there runs to puppies,
yellows and the like.
In some countries they drive
on the right side of the road
with right hand drive cars. In
other countries they drive on
the left side Of the road, also
with right-hand drive cars. In
others they drive on the left
side Of the road with the driver
in the normal left position,
while in still others they take
the right side Of the road with
the drivers controls on the
right.
Such is the complexity OF
building automobiles for ex-
port.

Therefore. more electrical pres

creased tendency for the electric
current 70 seek an easier path. that
is, to short circuit around the spark
gap. In addition. electrical losses
are greater due to leakage in the
system, through the insulator It
self. or through carbon deposits on
the insulatOr itself. or through car
bon deposits on the insulator or plug
body.
Recently a number OF improve
ments have been made IN the cleo
trical system, particularly in pro-
viding better high tension wires and
In arranging them on the engine TO
prevent electrical losses.
Better Insulation Needed
With these improvements, how
ever. it has been found that many
spark plug insulatorS under certain
conditions Of operation are subject
to electrical deterioration to an ex-
tent that after a few thousand miles
the electrical losses in the insulatOr
itself may be sufficiently great to
cause noticeable loss of power and
acceleratiOn resulting in unsatisfac-
tory car performance.
Greatly improved insulating ma
terials are being experimental with
by the more important spark plug
manufacturers and 1t is anticipated
that within a few months spark
plugs Of several makes viii be avail
able using insulatOrs with greatly
improved electrical and thermal
characteristics. This should in
crease the life of spark plugs in a
given engine, and generally improve
operating characteristics"

NATIONS CHIEF
MOVES INTO
NEW OFFICE
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt returned to
Washington today from Warm
Springs and Immediately went to
remodeled Executive Offices to
complete shaping of New Deal
plans for next year.
The new offices which the
President today occupies for the
first time shine like a new pin;
the walls are spotleSS, the floors
clean and silent; the electric
lighting is a boon to workers eye
sight; there is an air cooling sys-
tenn; the rooms are large and
spacious.
More Working Space
Elbow room is provided for 180
OF the White House staff, BY a
trick of architecture, while every.
thing is spread out to give more
room to everyone, the building
does not appear much larger.
The Presidents office is large
oval room with plenty of windows
offering splendid views. His desk
is smaller than those of his secre-
taries and not at all like an i'm
portant executive might be ex-
pected to use.
It is remarkably free from but
tons and gadgets. There is one
telephone. an inkStand or two and
two ordinary wooden penholders
of the kind found in country post
offices-only new and workable.
On the edge of the desk facing
the President are three small
stuffed animals-two donkeys and
an elephant Indicating a political
majority. Also at one side is a
bronze donkey about foot high,
and on the other side of the desk
is a donkey which boy admirer
sawed out of the side of a grocery
box, shellacked and sent to the
President.
On the wall is a fine tarpon
from the Petersburg, Fla, Tarpon
Club. Ship models which we're in
the old office are on display in
the new quarters.
