z Restaurant Phones
Cited by Fay Made
Liable 10 Removal

Two restaurant telephones. list
ed by United States Attorney
George Morris Fay as used for
gambling. were made liable to re-
moval in District Court actions
today.
The phones are located in the
American Restaurant. 407 Ninth
street NV. and the Old Mill Res
taurant at l3 H street NE.
Prosecuting attorneys said 1t
now is up to the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. to deter
mine whether the instruments will
be removed, since no further di-
.rective is needed from the United
States attorney.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff denied
a preliminary injunction against
removing the American Res
taurant telephone. Defense at
torneys argued that restaurant
employees had signed affidavits
that the phone had not been used
for gambling purposes.
But the Government, represent
ed by Assistant United States At
torneys Ross ODonoghue and
Samuel X. Abrams. presented EVIL
dence that a former part-time en-
ploye, named only as Tony" had
placed bets over the telephone.
Tony" had made no affidavit to
the contrary. =5...
In the second case. Attorney
Charles e. Ford, representing the
Old Mill Restaurant. Withdrew an
application for preliminary In
junction. Judge Holtzoh then said
it appeared to be the telephone
company's duty to remove that
instrument.
Today's cases were the third and
fourth to be decided. and In three
of them defendants have lost their
fight to retain their phones. In
all, Mr.. Fay requested the tele-
phone company to remove more
than 300 instruments.

has taken on groceries as side
line in competition with a neigh
boring grocery which has stocked
some patent medicines. under
