Federal Probe Inadequate Laws Aid perators, Discloses BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. Special Dispetch to The Star NEW YORK, August 1.—The base| ball pools, doing business in virtually in many smaller cities—now the object of Federal prosecutions here—have, in their 15 years of almost unmolested op- eration, gathered enough money to bulld the Panama Canal several times over. On the basis of known returns to the pools now under Government investiga- tion here, $100,000,000 s a conservative estimate of the annual takings of the national string. State laws, Federal officers say, are inadequate in nearly every State, and even these have been applied only in a desultory way. The steadily increasing winnings stack up against the old Louisiana lottery gleanings like the pyra- mids alongside a shoe button. The Fed: eral prosecution, which has resulted in the arrest of Willlam J. Pringle of Albany and William G. Howarth of New York City, will rest upon evidence that the pools have engaged in inter- state operations, or that they have used the mails in transacting lottery business. Evidence of fraud would constitute an additional ground of procedure. Priges are Large. Thomas T. Cook, assistant United States attorney for the southern dis- trict of New York, said today that sev- eral insiders of the big pools had in- dicated their willingness to turn State’s evidence and that there was every reason to believe the resulting prosecu- tions would lift the lid on nation-wide activities returning stupendous profits. far the Federal probe has cen- red mainly in Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, Troy, Binghamton and New York City.

For the most part, the pools distribute their literature and | tickets along railroad lines, by express, or by using members of train crews. One of the men now under arrest is an road.

Some ob- Jection, however, is expected from n on the clause relating to the size of cruisers, both the British and Prench conceptions being for small cruisers rather than large ones.
