Sopwith Gambling With Winds
LADY Luck Threw Him Down

instead of heading north by west,
the true course for the finish
marker. Endeavour actually foot
ed far faster than Ranger on the
home stretch, and might have
caught her, but her course was
too far away and as she turned TO
head for the mark, the wind shift
ed to the east and died.
AS Endeavuur II crawled out
of a blanket of fog that rolled
almost to the racing course, she
was barely limping along, licked
by the duck Of the wind and a
daring maneuver that failed to
click.
Sopwith gave her a going over
today. while Vanderbilt took
Ranger out for a two hour spin
on the ocean, to dry the salty
spray out of her sails. Tomorrow
the big SlOOpS go out again on a
80 mile triangular course, and, II
the weather stiffens, quite a few
experts believe the Royal Blue
Britisher may show a far differ
ent racing foot.
The Boston weather bureau
forecast a fairly strong wind
diminishing tonight. o d d S
heightened on the defender. With
few takers at 4 to l on the
series, the betting was even that
Ranger would win four straight.

explosion which bulged out the side
of 16-story East Side apartment
house, wrecking two apartments.
Widow Is Washingtonian.
Wittlin's widow, the former Ida
Weisblatt, daughter of Jacob We;s-
batt, grocer living at 2601 I street,
returned home from shopping tour
about S o'clock, three hours after the
explosion. to find her husband dead
According to the Associated Press,
Acting Chief Medical Examiner
Thomas A Gonzales said Within, for
mer assistant corporation counsel of
New York City, apparently committed
suicide. The Associated Press dis
patch said open gas jets were found
in his apartment as were letters which
District Attorney Sylvester Cosentino
said revealed Within was seeking en-
ployment.
Mrs. Within, 27, also is an attorney
She attended Business High School
and took her law course at National
Law School. She was admitted to
the District bar last year.
Married Here.
The Wittlins were married here
| about a year ago and had been living

Within was employed in the Resettle-
ment Administration prior to moving
to New York Within, who lived here
at 1929 P street, was employed in the
Labor Department from February,
1886, until the following August.
The explosion in the apartment
house shattered glass for a block
around, and another tenant, three
floors below the blast, suffered shock.
Because of a slight bulge in the front
of the building, police roped off the
street to keep back thousands of per-
sons. The building houses 14O
families, including that of David
Dubinsky, American Labor party
leader, president of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union and
one of the presidential electors for the

TRIAL PROCEDURE
BRIEFS ARE ASKED
Judge Hit and Other JuriSts
to Decide on Jury Case
Question.

Police Judge Isaac R. Hit, called
on to act as result of the recent
Supreme Court decision holding that
a 90-day Jail sentence may be i'm
posed in Police Court without a jury
trial, today ordered counsel in two
cases involving soliciting to file briefs
within five days in support Of their
contention that the high court ruling
does not apply in such cases.
The question arose when Assistant
United States Attorneys A. B. Caldwell
and Eugene Carusi appeared before
Judge Hit in Jury Court and objected
to jury trials for Sadie Hope and Lewis
Brown, both colored. Judge Hit then
certified the cases back to the United
States branch for trial by the court.
On receipt of the briefs, a meeting
of the Police Court judges will be held
to decide on a uniform procedure.
The Supreme Court last Monday
affirmed decision of the Court OF
which earlier had reversed
a Police Court verdict, and ordered
q new trial for Ethel ClaWans, who
had been convicted without a jury
trial on charges of selling railroad
tickets without license. The appellate
court had held the woman was en-
titled to jury trial
In affirming the decision, the
Supreme Court rejected this plea, but
granted the new trial on other
grounds, namely, that defense counsel
had not been given adequate oppor-
tunity for cross-examination.
With Justices McReynolds and
Butler dissenting, the high court
held that violation carrying SEN
tence of 80 days was not too serious
to Justify denial of jury trial.
Since the earlier decision of the
Court of Appeals. rendered on March
2, 1896, jury trials have been granted
all persons charged with soliciting, a
privilege that now is attacked by the
United States attorneys Office. The
maximum penalty for soliciting is
80 days or 500 fine, or both.

WILL SIGN BILL APRIL Is.
Nice Also Agreed to o. X. State Bond
Measure.

ANNAPOLIS, April 8 (P).-The
problem of finding bookmakers whom
he could tax under the new law legal
izing and taxing bookmaking, yester-
day caused Controller William S.
Gordy, jr., to ask Gov. Harry w. Nice
to sign the State relief bill April Is.
The Governor agreed to sign both
that and the bond issue bill.
Gordy has a problem in finding the
bookmakers he is supposed to tax to
raise an estimated $499,e99
If the bookmakers are known to
exist, by any legal authority, it would
be the duty of that authority to re-
port them to police for violating the
law.
Gordy's only chance is that they
will report themselves and ask for
licenses. If they do not he will have
to depend on the findings OF his in
spectors to bring them within his
scope.

TAKING OF BETS HINGES
ON LAW INTERPRETATION
Sacks Believes Measure He Of
fered February 16 Would Take
Care of Situation.

Stirred by reports that agents for
legalized bookmaking establishments
in Prince Georges County, Md, may
be permitted to operate in Washington.
four members of the House DistriCt
Committee moved today to prevent
such a situation.
The question as to whether runners
for the gambling establishments could
accept money in the District to be
bet" in Maryland, apparently hinges
on legal Interpretation as to what
establishes the status of wager.
Without waiting for an official rul-
ing, the four members Of the District
Committee are determined to have
legislation ready for consideration Of
Congress to curb the agents If the
courts should hold their activities legal
under existing law
Bill introduced February Is.
Representative Sacks, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, one of the active mem
bers of the District Committee, be-
lieves bill he introduced February 16,
designed primarily to prevent the in
terstate transmission of gambling de-
vices, will meet any situation that may
arise in Washington as a result of the
opening of legalized gambling estab-
lishments in Prince Georges COUNTY.
His measure is now pending in the
House Judiciary Committee
Sacks pointed out his bill would make
illegal the Importation or interstate
/ transmission of any paper, certif-
cate, or instrument purporting to be
or to represent ticket, chance, share
or interest in or dependent upon the
event Of a lottery, gift, enterprise or
similar scheme, offering prizes de-
pendent in whole or in part on a lot
or chance" 1t would apply to any
person who knowingly" receives such
| papers or certificates, and subjects
1 them, upon conviction, to penalty of
fine of 81 900, or two years imprison-
ment, or both
Under my BILL" Sacks declared,
ANY person who accepts money in the
District to be bet in Maryland would
be violating the law.
Brewster to See Seal.
Representative Brewster, Republican.
of Maine said he would confer with
Corporation Counsel Seal about the
situation created by the opening of
legal gambling houses in Prince
Georges County. He expressed belief
however, that existing laws would give
police authority to break up the op-
erationS in the District of agents tov
the Maryland gambling houses.
Representative Palmisano, Demo
crat, of Maryland, vice chairman {.
the District Committee, has an
nounced his intention of going along
with any members of Congress who.
aim it is to curtail business in Was
ington of the Prince Georges Coun
gambling establishments.

cigarette at a cost of about S5 per

Becoming mathematical, we added
the three 1887 totals, s1150 for room

At this point graph from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics rolled into
vision and made it plain that costs
of living have declined by roughly
some 10 per cent since 1922 This
circumstance didn't phase the 1881

of health and morals is a more diff,
| ficult task in these days than in the
years when Bill Sunday was keeping
people on the sawdust trail.

STUDY IN HOUSE
Only Two Members of Spe-

for Duty.
KENNEDY TO RENEW
EFFORTS ON TUESDAY
William A. Roberts, Former Peo-
pies Counsel, Also Fails to
Come to Hearing.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The widely heralded joint investi-
CATION of the Collins tax increase bills
and proposed reorganization of the
District government failed to get
started on schedule today because only
two members of the special subcom-
mittee of the House District Commit
tee assigned to the job reported for
duty.
Representative Kennedy, Democrat,
Of Maryland, the subcommittee chair
man, waited in vain for more than an
hour for the members to appear and
finally postponed consideration of the
program he has outlined for the study
until he is assured he will have a
quorum at the initial meeting. He
announced another effort would be
made to hold an organization meeting
Tuesday.
Six Members on Committee.
There are six members on the special
subcommittee, including Kennedy. The
only one who appeared today was Rep
resentative Allen, Democrat, of Della
ware.
The other members are Representa-
tives Nichols, of Oklahoma and Nc
Gehee of Mississippi, Democrats, and
Dirksen of Illinois and Cole of New
York, Republicans.
Kennedy also had invited William A.
Roberts, former peoples counsel, to
attend and he also failed to appear.
A telephone call to his office revealed
he was out of the city. Kennedy and
planned to recommend the appoint
ment of Roberts as adviser to the sub
committee during the investigation.
Within few days, Kennedy said,
ne would introduce a resolution pro-
viding an appropriation of $4,000 out
Of the House contingent fund with
which to employ Roberts and pay other
expenses of the study.
Collins Not to Insist.
Chairman Collins of the House Sub
committee on District Appropriations,
who sponsored the tax bills, has said
he would not insist that all of them be
enacted. but only those necessary to
Offset the anticipated S6,000,0 900 deficit
in District revenues in the coming
fiscal year.
When Collins introduced the bills
he estimated they would yield more
than s12,O00000 year in additional
revenue, and said the excess above
budget needs could be set aside as
a surplus to reduce real estate taxes
in the 1889 fiscal year. Kennedy and
Nichols have taken the position the
original Collins program should be
shaved down to meet actual budget
needs.
