P|NEY P0INTL0TS OFFERED
DRAWS MANY IN NEW RESORT

Piney Point. st. Mary's County,
Maryland, one of the Oldest water
ing resorts in the country, is
rapidly coming into its own again
as the mecca for vacationists and
fishing parties.
The increasing popularity Of
this resort is due to the hospi.
tally of the management of the
new and ultra modern lakewood
Lodge, where meals, delicious as
they are, are served in a style all
their own by maids in varied col
ored costumes typical of the
South.
This lodge patterned after the
lodges in the National Parks of
the West was erected in 1884 on
one of the most beautiful spots
on the lower Potomac River near
where it meets Chesapeake Bay
and must be visited to appreciate
it's unique construction that is so

lakewood Lodge has now become
the rendezvous for members of
Congress who seek quiet and rest
and can relax by going out from
the pier there on one of the COM
fortably equipped boats of Com
modore Overton's Black Fleet and
try their skill at trolling for the
striped followed that give so much
pleasure to the Isaac Waltonites
to haul in.
The rates for this style of hos
telry are exceptionally reasonable,
for a weeks vacation they are as
low as $22.50 per person when two
occupy a room, including meals.
It is well to make application for
reservations early by writing or
better by phoning Great Mills

D. c. GAMING LAW
TIGHTENING URGED
Major Brown Wants More
Effective Drive on
Numbers"

Police Supt. E. w. Brown again
yesterday urged that Congress
strengthen the District laws against
gambling SO a more effective attack
can be made against the numbers
game operators
In his annual report to the Com
missioners, Maj. Brown said the Police
Department during the past fiscal year
had made an effective drive on gam
bling, resulting in number of in
dictments, now pending in court, but
he added:
In connection with enforcement
of the gambling laws, considerable
difficulty has been found in proceed
ing against the so-called numbers
game, and it is recommended that
consideration be given to the bill now
pending in Congress which will
strengthen the gambling law to give
the Police Department more author
ity to cope with the gambling situa-
ton, especially as it applies to the
numbers game"
Embassy PiCketing.
Maj. Brown also repeated his pre-
vious recommendations for legisla-
ton to stop picketing in front of
foreign embassies and legations, stat
ing, "the presence Of these pickets
with banners in some cases has caused
complaints from the embassies or lega-
tions where picket lines have been in
operation"
Study of the housing needs of the
department was urged in a recon-
mendation that the Commissioners
create a committee to make survey
of police headquarters and police pre-
cinct stations and to recommend re-
placement of those buildings found
inadequate or obsolete.
More Privates Asked.
Appointment Of 100 additional pri-
Yates to the police force was sought
by Maj. Brown in his 1889 estimates,
but he advised the Commissioners in
his annual report that the number
of privates should be no less than
$500 if police protection is to be salts
factory.
Maj Brown also reiterated former
requests for legislation for the regula-
ton Of wrestling bouts and for funds
to permit the reopening Of the old
second precinct and construction of
police substation at Forty-second
street and Benning road northeast.

Bandit Rob& Shopkeeper Again,
Says: Don't You RememberMe?'
Takes $50 in Registe,
but Misses 500 in
Cigar Box.

Being held-up by the same bandit
is getting pretty monotonous, but not
at all dull for Edwin Sowder.
Shortly before dawn Friday, Sow
der who is 27 and night manager
OF the Little Tavern Shop at 1926
New York avenue, was relieved Of
slS by young white man, who in
vaded the shop while Sowder was
counting the receipts.
Sowder was left only five pennies,
with which he experienced some diff
flculty in telephoning police. He ac-
complished this by obtaining a nickel
from a taxi driver, but too late to
put officers on the trail OF the ban
dit.
Last night the man with the gun
was back at the shop again.
Don't you remember me?" he
calmly inquired of Sowder, showing
forward the gun.
Sowder, who hadn't forgotten so
soon, was forced this time to part
with $50. He found small comfort
in the fact that $50 in checks and
cash, kept in cigar box above the
cash register, was overlooked.
I'm afraid the guy will come back
again." Sowder remarked ruefully after
1t was all over With that gun to
back him up. he treats me as an old
friend"
In the shop at the time of the sec
ond hold-up were two messenger boys,
one OF whom pursued the bandit and
saw him enter a taxicab. SoWder
had summoned police. but downpour
of rain made pursuit Of the taxi i'm
possible.
Others reporting robberies last night
included Paul w. Shibley of Raleigh,
N. c.. who told police he was victimized
of $50 in a matching contest with
strangers, one of whom he met at
Union Station.
Edward A. Brooks, SO, colored. sl6
Seventeenth street, was robbed Of $9l
by two colored men who apparently
followed him shortly after he received
his pay from the Government Print
ing ONCE, and Ella Bryn, so, colored,
$50 Rhode Island avenue, whose
pocketbook containing $113 was stolen.
Harry Rubin reported the window
Of his jewelry store at 1914 Fourteenth
