D. c. Committee Reports Bill
With "Teeth" Following
Testimony by Garnett

The Senate District Com
mittee today favorably re-
ported a bill which would put
'teeth" into the District
gambling laws after hearing
testimony by District At
torney Leslie G. Garnett that
the numbers" game has per-
meated the schools where chill
dren are using their lunch
money for gambling.
Describing the numbers" game
as the most vicious form OF
gambling in vogue here, the Dis
trict Attorney said the authorities
know the "big shots who are
behind professional gambling, but
they have been unable to get
them into court because Of lack
Of evidence against them.
"PadIOck" In Plan
The bill, as reported by the
committee, provides that posses
sion of gambling paraphernalia
constitutes prima facie evidence
Of guilt.
Modelled somewhat on the pad
lock" provisions of the late pro
hibition laws, the proposed legiS-
lation makes the landlord equally
guilty with the renter when raids
are conducted on properties and
gambling equipment found.
This provision applies where
authorities can show the landlord
was warned that gambling was
going on in the premises and had
failed to call upon his tenant to
end the practice.
''FriendIy Games"
Mr.. Garnett pointed out that
the bill is aimed at professional
gambling and that the law en-
forcement officers would not
molest friendly" card games in
private homes.
He declared:
"UnlesS this law is passed you
might just as well legalize,
license. and regulate gambling
in the District"
He pointed out that two raids
had been staged on a gambling
house in the 1400 block G ST.
N. W, and they ended disas
trously for the Government in
court because no gambling was
going on when police finally got
into the place through barred
doors.
Judge Ralph A. Given, of Po
lice Court, and William w. Bride
retiring corporation counsel, gave
their approval to the measure
which also has the backing OF
the Commissioners.

NEW YORK, June l6. Stocks
advanced fractions to 2 points in the
early trading today and held most
of the gains. Trading turned dull
after the first hour at a rate of l.
100000 shares for full day.
There were three weak spots,
Westinghouse air brake which made
a new low for the year at 22&4, off
80: Freeport Texas, 35$s off rs,
and Allegheny Steel, IS, off 5@i and
also a new 1894 low.
A sizeable list made new highs for

Strength was induced by post
ponement of the steel strike. and by
outlook for early adjournment Of

was greatly improved. although
there was still a note of caution be-
cause of prospects of a business let
down for the summer.
Steel operations already are be-
ginning to turn down and the rate
at Youngstown for the coming week
will be at 81 per cent, off 3 points
for mid-week.
Relief over the steel strike post
ponement aided the steel shares and
they rose fractions 10 point. Rails
were strong despite less than sea-
