Two Prince Georqes
Anti-Gamb|ing Bills
Before Delegates
Montgomery Measure
Amended in Surprise
Move in House

Striking at the last nearby strong
hold Of Washington gamblers, two
bills embodying the same principles
as the District law which drove them
out Of the Capital last night were
favorably reported by the Judiciary
Committee of the Maryland House
Of Delegates.
In surprise move, Delegate
Ralph w. Powers of Prince Georges
County tackled on amendments to
two Montgomery County bills which
require approval by the House on
only one more reading before being
sent to the Senate.
One of the bills would make the
possession of numbers slips, lottery
tickets, sweepstake tickets, bills,
tokens, certificates or any other
gambling device prima facie evi-
dence Of guilt of gambling. This
would apply to purchasers of num-
bers tickets and other gaming
chances liable with the vendor.
This legislation would make it un-
lawful to be connected in any way,
directly or indirectly, with a lottery.
1t would apply to the owner, agent,
clerk or manager of the place where
gambling is discovered. Violators
would be subject to fine of not
more than $1,000 or Imprisonment
of not more than three years, or
both.
Fine, Jail Term Provided.
The penalty for playing numbers
or participating in any other form
of lottery, sweepstakes and for any
one knowingly possessing any ticket,
certificate, bill or token in connec-
ton with gambling would be fine
of not more than $500 or six months
in Jail or both.
The second bill removes what has
been termed the greatest stumbling
block to law enforcement in both
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties. Its provisions nullify the
restrictions placed on law enforce
ment officers by the old Bouse Act,
which prohibits the use as evidence
in criminal prosecution of any para
phernalia seized by force.
The measure provides for the Is
suance of search warrants for any
place where gambling is suspected
or where any other law violation Is
believed to be in progress. This pro-
vision would strike at the more than
30 numbers headquarters estimated
to be operating in Prince Georges
County alone. 1t is through these es-
Establishments that operators are re-
ported to gather a harvest of more
than 100000 from the Capital
area.
Four Held After Raid.
Neither Prince Georges nor Mont
gomery County has a law against
the sale or purchase of sweepstake
tickets. Any foreign sweeps tickets
brought in through the port of Bal
timore can be sold over the counter
as freely as can legitimate mer-
chandise.
The old Bouse Act exempts any
evidence discovered by the execution
OF search warrant. The new law
makes this evidence admissible.
Amendments to the Montgomery
County bill which will make the two
laws operative in Prince Georges
County were drawn by the county's
reform States attorney, H. Winship
Wheatley, jr.. who was elected on
platform of strict law enforcerpept
Mr.. Wheatley has made several
trips to Annapolis for conferences
with various members of the county
delegation in the Legislature since
the session opened early in January.

Bill Exempts
Bridge From
Gaming Laws

By stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March g.
Bridge enthusiasts in Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties may
rest easy.
Legislators plan to enact law
this session which will eliminate any
possible Identification of their IA
vorite pastime with games that are
regarded as gambling.
Senators Robert Peter of Mont
gomery and Charles c. Marbury of
Prince Georges have been beset by
many bridge players who feared
some law might be introduced which
would classify bridge as gambling.
Yesterday they presented the SEN
ate with bicounty measure which

Latin American Trade
Only About Half
OF 1929 Volume
Average for II Months
Of 1893 Estimated
At 81 Million
srecial Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Our
monthly trade with South America,
Central America, the West Indies
and Mexico during the first II
months of 1888 averaged only about
half that in 1929. We still have a
long way to go before our total
exports to and imports from Latin
America reach pre-depression levels,
according to figures recently COM
piled by the statistical division of
the Conference Board
During the years 1921 to 1929,
inclusive, the dollar volume of our
total trade with all the Latin Amer
ican countries amounted to about
$3.50 ,000, 900 month, on the aver
age. In 1896 the monthly value of
total trade had risen from the 1888
low of $475 million to $79.8 million;
and in 1887, at the recovery peak,
the average reached only $112,O00,-
600. Over the first II months of
1898, this monthly average is esti-
mated at $s7 100000, higher than in
1886 but far below the value of
$1732 million month for total
trade from Patagonia to the Rio
Grande with the United States in
1929.
A significant feature of the Con-
ference Boards study is the analysis
of our trade with South America
by countries. During the first II
months of 1888, we imported total
of S887 million of goods from Brazil,
while we exported $552 million of
our products to Brazil. Colombia
also had a favorable trade balance
with the United States, selling us
1913 million more Of various CON-
modities than she bought.
BY contrast. the value of our ex-
ports to Argentina exceeded our
imports from that country by 1926
million in the first II months of
1885, Venezuela, whose riches in
petroleum and other raw materials
enable her to operate on a cash
and-carry'' basis, bought $478 mil
lion Of our products, while we pur-
chased $l8.3 million of hers.
