William Willis, a colored bootblack, who for the past seven years has enjoyed the Privileges of the corridors of the Post Office Department, was a defendant in the Police Court yesterday. It was charged that he stole from off a desk a pocket book, con- taining $22, the property of Miss S. M. Tal- Naferro. Detective Wheeler made the ar- rest and investigated the case. There was no witness who saw him take the pocket book or have the money, but the judge con- victed him on account of the circumstances. A fine of $25 was imposed, and the court ordered restitution. The defendant denied the charge. _ Te Be Sure of Pure Butter. Do you know whether you are eating “Butterine” or “Oleomargerine?” Buy where either is sold—of James F.

THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 18938-TWELVE PAGES. WINTER RACES BEGIN. The Horses Ran, Bets Were Taken and Li- quor Sold at Ivy City. Venal Gathering for a Winter Track on Hand—Detectives Affiliating With the Management. As stated in yesterday’s Star, George H. Engeman of Brighton Beach and Clifton fame, inaugurated the winter race meeting at the Ivy City track, which, if unchecked, will place the capital of the country on a par with Guttenberg and Gloucester and other like hotbeds of crime and immorality. As explained in The Star, the attendance yesterday was limited in numbers, but un- limited in all the attributes of the winter race meetings at the late New Jersey plague spots. The opposition of the au- thorities put the management to no little inconvenience and trouble, and the authori- ties and all others opposing the descent of the raseally crowd upon the District were consigned, in the choicest of Guttenberg, Gloucester and Bowery terms, to the lowest depths of the regions infernal. The crowd in attendance yesterday was with rare exceptions composed of the gang of gamblers, touts, horsemen, thieves and others of like character which have made Washirgton a dumping ground during the late winter race meeting at the Benning track. Liquor Openly Sold. While no betting was permitted by the police within the mile limit, it was carried on within the infield, in the tent described in yesterday's Star, although District At- torney Birney had instructed the police that under his construction of the law betting there was not legal. It was understood, however, that it was the purnose of the authorities to allow betting t on there yesterday that the law on that particular point might be tested later, but within a day or two. There was, however, a viola- tion of the law, which for some reason best known, perhaps, to themselves, the police present made no attempt to stop or prevent, and that was the open sale of in- toxicating liquors. While the proprietor of the bar had applied for a liquor license, it was understood that he had been expressly informed that the rere filing of the appli- jcation did not grant him the right to con- duct the sale of liqucrs during the consid- eration of his application. And it was fur- ther stated that ‘he chief of police had in- structed his officers and men to the same effect. But whether the applicant had or had rot been so informed it was his duty to know the law, as it certainly was more so the duty of the police. Yet the sale of liquors was conducted throughout the day and with the full knowledge and consent of the police. Preparing to Move. The attendance when the first race was called numbered about 500, but that number was somewhat increased during the day by the generous distribution of complimen- tary tickets, and it was stated upon excel- lent authority that a member of the local} detective force had accepted a number of these tickets, which he distributed among bis friends, and wherever they would do the | most good. The management realized that there wiuid be no let up in the opposition of the authorities, and a local house-mover was sent for in order to discuss the feasi- bihty of moving the betting-ring or grand- | stand to a point outside the mile limit. It was explained by his friends that Engeman had plenty of money, and did not propose to be beaten at his little game of making Ivy City a second Guttenberg or Gloucester, even if he had to spend a fortune and buy all Congress. The Races. Of the racing yesterday it is but fair to say that it was as good as seen on other winter tracks. Six races were run, the win- ners being: Charley Wilson, modore Roughan, 20 and 8; Play or Pay, 6 to 5 and 2 to 5; Shelly Tuttle, 1 to 2 and out; St. John, 10 and 3, and Addie, 2 and 3 to 5.

Policy players are becoming more numer- ous as the Christmas holidays approach and | much of the piaying, It is said, is done by |persons who have to be given ald during | the cold weather. Sergt. Daley and Officers | Flathers and Muller went to the Long bridge | yesterday to intercept the writers and run- ners ahd they made five arrests. One of | their victims was a twelve-year-old colored |boy named James Jackson. He had been | seen crossing the bridge a number of times |and the officers thought it would do no harm to investigate him. When they Searched the boy they found on him policy |papers and money which he was taking over to Jackson City. He refused to give | the name of his employer and so he was j locked up. This morning he appeared in Judge Mil- ler’s court, and Lawyer Maztin, his counsel, entered a plea of not guilty in the case. “In consideration of his youth,” said coun- sel, “and this being his first offense, I will | ask that his personal bom be taken.”" | “Not by this court,’ said Judge Miller. “If such a course were taken it would be but a short while before all the employes of the policy firms would be employing hun- | dreds of children, just as they did women a few years ago. “Who is this boy’s employer?" the court asked. “t don’t know, your honor,” was the reply f the officer. |. “He will have to Pay a fine of $50 or Bo to Jail for thirty days,” said the judge, “and the policy people may just as well under- stand now as at any other time that their employes are not to be set free on account of their age." William O’Brien, a colored man, was the othe> defendant, charged with violating the policy law. He was given sixty days, pieces ane Elected Unopposed to Parliament.

Free Tickets for the Convention Hall Concert | 4 WORLD OF MISERY 18 IMPLIED IN THE] 0c 2%-m,w,ft&stf Now Being Circulated. Where They Can Be Obtained—Some of the Featares of the Program. The tickets for the concert to be given at Convention Hall for the benefit of the poor of the District by the United States Ma- rine Band next Wednesday evening are now in the process of active circulation. They can be obtained of policemen and firemen and at the business offices of The Star, the Post and the News. The reserved plat is at Ellis’ music store, where those who de- sire reserved seats may obtain them. ‘The first organized body to determine to attend the concert is Troop A, District National Guard. Next Wednesday {8 the anniversay of the troop, but Capt. Barbour has decided that all should attend the con- cert in the early part of the evening, and then to have the anniversary celebration at the armory after the concert is over. It is to be hoped that other organizations will follow the example of Capt. Barbour and his troop and determine to attend the con- cert in a body. This will insure the dispo- sition of tickets in large blocks. It should be stated that the stage will be placed in the center of the west side of the hall, as it was during the concerts of the Austrian Band, and the seats will be ar- Tanged as on that occasion. Only the sec- tions of seats immediately in front of the stage will be reserved, leaving all the others available for general admission. The progr..m for the concert will contain many novelties, as has already been intl- mated, and wil! show the band in a wider range of work than ever before. Among the numbers wiu be one called a “Night in Bohemia,” a composition by Prof. Fanctulli, which will illustrate an evening in the Press Club that will prove wonderfully at- tractive not only to newspaper men, but to the laity. It is possible that an arrangement of the “Anvil Chorus” from “Il Trovatore” will also be given, with the District firemen at the anvils. The Commissioners today designated Col+ lector of Taxes E. G. Davis to take charge of a special fund for the relief of the poor. The District Commissioners today recelv- ed from Mr. A. Lisner of the Palais Royal a check for $425, being 5 per cent of yes- terday’s sales, to be devoted to the ullevia- tion of the suffering poor, which he had Promised through the columns of The Star on Wednesday. In acknowledging the re- ceipt of the check the Commissioners said that they were confident that they expres: ed the voice of this entire community in e: tending to him their sincere thanks for this large contribution to the poor fund. The Sisters of the Visitation of George- town Convent inclosed a check for $50 to the Commissioners, and suggested that a proper night shelter should be provided tor the homeless poor, for which the contribu- tion was intended.
