BY CARTER BROOKE JONES

By CARTER BROOKE JONES.
Gambling rackets like the num-
bers are harmful and corrupting in
fiuences in any community, Senator
Austin. Republican, of Vermont
pointed out today in an interview.
Senator Austin, member OF the
Senate District Committee. said:
ANY citizen with moral stamina
is opposed to organized gambling. 1t
makes little difference in the degree
of moral turpitude what gambling de-
vice these racketeers operate, whether
it's the numbers game or something
else. They all incite people to ex-
pect something for nothing, to de-
pend on games which are decided by
luck alone"
Potent Source OF Crime.
Senator Austin agrees with mem
bers of Congress, law-enforcement
officials and citizens who regard the
numbers racket in Washington as a
potent source of crime and a CIVIC
influence which should not be toll
Grated
This racket he said, gets In
the hands of criminals and thus
tends to spread other and more seri-
GUS forms of crime. It should be
stamped out in the interest of good
government. Certainly our National
Capital should not tolerate it,"
The Vermont Senator supported the
numbers bill which passed the SEN
ate February 10, 1887. and ever since
has been pending before the House
District Committee. He expressed
hope that the measure would pass
the House and give the police a more
effective weapon in dealing with
Washingtf p most prevalen. racket.

The House committee will take up
the bill at public hearing next
Wednesday.
The proposed law Is an amendment
to the District lottery statute It
would make possession of the slips
used to record numbers bets a vio-
lation OF the law and define the op-
Grafton of numbers game as the
setting up of lottery.
Enforcement officers say the more
drastic law would allow them to 60
after the "big shots" who are oacx-
ing the Districts numbers business.
Under the present law, they point
out 1t usually Is impossible to reach
the higher-ups, and although there
are frequent arrests of numbers writ
ers and runners, the business goes
virtually unhampered.
The amendment would make the
law conform in general effect to the
laws in New York, Virginia and other
States wnere the authorities recently
have made effective headway against
the nunpers racket.
