BUILDING OWNER LIABLE INGAMBLING Held Subject to Jail and Fine for Permitting Gaming on Premises. A new offensive loomed in the police fwar on gambling today when the United States attorney's office, in an informal opinion, held it was entirely feasible to take action against the owners of prop- erty where gambling is conducted, as well as against the gamblers themselves. The views of the prosecutors office were made known as the result of a statement by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, su- perintendent of police, that he pro- posed to ask for an opinion as to whether it would be possible for him to move against property owners. 1f such a step were taken the prop- erty owners would be subject to the same penalty imposed against gamblers —a year in jail, giving the police an- other powerful weapon in their cam- paign. Hesse Seeks Weak Points. Preceding his action today, Hesse or- dered rigid scrutiny by building and fire inspectors of all places where “so- cial clubs” are known to operate and hopes that his investigation wil enable him to have the reinforced iron doors which guard the portals of many of the clubs condemned as fire hazards and torn down. He may also find, he indicated, that there have been changes inside the buildings occupied by gam- blers which have not been authorized by permits. Such a disclosure would bring the property owners within the law and admit of their prosecution. Maj. Hesse thinks that the great ma- fority of property owners know the business and character of the tenants to whom they rent and accordingly are equally as guilty as the proprietors of the gambling clubs which operate on their premises. Perusal of the District code this morning by the office of the United States attorney revealed, it was de- clared, that it authorizes the steps against property owners, section 866 providing a penalty of one year impris- onment or a fine of $500 or both for the owner of a bullding who knowingly permits any gaming device to be set up or used on the premises. The statute follows: “Whoever in the District knowingly permits any gaming table, bank, or G. W. U. “Battle” Postpo Too ned Awhile; Cold to Fight e annual battle between the freshmen and sophomores of Gzorge ‘Washington University, which was to have taken place at 12:30 o'clock this afternoon in Potomac Park at ‘Twenty-second and B streets, was postponed by the university authori- ties until a later date. ‘The cold weather, they said, made them apprehensive of the health of the students in event they got a wet- +ing during the tug-o'-war feature of the battle. No definite date for the battle was set at the time of the postponement, although it was indi- cated the fray will be staged as soon as weather permits. CORNER STONE LAID FOR HOSPITAL UNT Rivalry in Philanthrophy Ulti- mately Will Treble Capacity at Casualty. Forty years ago the business men of Northeast Washington recognized the need in that section for a hospital, and it was the fruition of these efforts that ( Casualty Hospital was established in a modest little house at 311 Third street northeast. Today Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, laid the cor- ner stone of the first of two proposed quarter million dollar units to make the institution one of the ultra-modern hospitals of the city. The rivalry in philanthrophy of two of those Northeast business men largely made possible the new unit, which will treble the capacity of Casualty Hospital and make its equipment as up to date as any in the city. For years Thomas W. Smith and Theodore J. Mayer, both wealthy lumber men, vied with each other in their efforts to keep the strug- gling little Northeast hospital well nourished financially. When one would see thr ~~od for a $1,000 contribution to the institution, the other would match the gift. . ‘The new building on which the cor- ner stone was laid today is going up on a tract of land given by Mr. Smith, device to be set up or used for the urpose of gaming in any house, build- g, vessel, shed, booth, shelter or lot or other premises to him belonging or by him occupied or of which at the time be in his possession or control, shall be punished by imprisonment in the jail for not more than one year g:;}})y a fine not exceeding $500 or o ‘This section is commonly applied against tenants, but so far has not been invoked as a weapon against the prop- erty owners. One Club Operates Openly. As the forces of the law are being marshaled against Washington's gam- blers, only one of the known “social clubs” continues to run openly. The policeman on guard outside the door re- ports, however, that its proprietors will starve on the patronage they are re- ceiving. Only 24 persons entered the place yesterday, and at 6 o'clock in the evening the operators closed up for the night, only to reopen again today. Maj. Hesse is not overly optimistic concerning the situation. He thinks that the clubs have abandoned their known locations and are operating else- where. Accordingly, he has instructed commanders of all precincts to be on the alert in ferreting out any new clubs opening in their territory. To date only two such places have been discovered. They were raided Satur- day night without warrants by Capt. Guy E. Burlingame of the Second pre- cinct, the games broken up and 40 per- sons arrested on charges of disorderly conduct. Only seven appeared in Police Court yesterday to answer the charges. ‘They were acquitted and the collateral of the others forfeited. Many habitual patrons of the clubs which have closed their doors are frequenting a large resort just across the Maryland State line, Maj. Hesse declared today. Practically all the money which supports the place comes from Washington, he said, and it was because of this that he took steps yesterday to secure the co-oper- ation of State’s Attorney Parran of Prince Georges County, Md. ARREST ACQUITTED MAN ON CHARGE OF LARCENY Officials Anticipate Dismissal of Robbery Charge and Hold Nor- ton on New Accusation. Anticipating a_dismissal of a robbery charge against Harold Norton, 34, of Philadelphia, Assistant United States Attorney Joseph C. Bruce today had a charge of larceny filed in the United States branch of Police Court, upon which Norton was taken into custody by Marshal William Burke as soon as the Tobbery acquittal was announced. De- fense Attorney James F. O’Shea, re- senting the Government’s move, served notice of filing a plea of former Jeopardy. Norton was first taken into custody last Friday in a police round-up of sus- pected pickpockets. He was accused of taking a pocketbook containing $5 from Joseph Luchs, 728 Sixth street. Luchs had not missed the money until notified !‘gogonr,e of the recovery of the pocket- As no evidence was presented to show that force was used, Judge Ralph Given dismissed the robbery charge. Norton will be arraigned for larceny next Tues- day. His bond was set at $1,000. HEARING ON WAKEFIELD BRIDGE PLAN ORDERED Maj. Somervell Calls Meeting to Be Held at District Building Tuesday. A public hearing will be held at the District Building Tuesday on the appli- cation of the George Washington-Wake- fleld Memorial Bridge Corporation of Richmond, Va. for the construction of a high level bridge across the Poto- mac River at a point 60 miles down- stream from this city, it is announced by Maj. Brehon Somervell, U. S. A, District Engineer. ' The proposed bridge would extend from a point on the Virginia shore one and one-eighth miles downstream from Persimmon Point to the Mary- land shore one and three-eighths miles upstream from Lower Cedar Point. All interested parties are invited to attend the hearing to submit state- ments in the matter insofar as the Te- striction of navigation by the bridge is concerned. it is announced. Oral testimony will be heard, but it is sug- gested the written statements be in- troduced. Delegates Reach Warsaw. WARSAW, Poland, November 27 (). —Three delegates of the Polish Na- tional Alllance of Chicago, Messrs. Sypniewski, Kurdziel and Ruszkiewicz, have arrived at Warsaw, bringing hon- orary memberships for several members of the Polish government, including President Moscicki and Marshal Pil- sudski. . After a serles of audiences they will Posen, go to and adjoining it is another plece of land, identical in size, which was do- nated by Mr. Mayer, where, it is pro- posed, the second $250,000 unit of the hospital will go up-when the necessary funds are available. In addition, Mr. Smith left $20,000 as the nucleus for a $50,000 fund for the maintenance of the unit he planned. Senator King Speaks. Senator King of Utah made the prin- cipal address at the corner stone cere- montes, which began at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Representative Zihlman of Maryland, chairman of the House Dis- trict committee, was master of cere- monies. Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, gave the invo- cation. The speakers included Dr. Wil- fred M. Barton, representing the Med- ical Society of the District of Colum- bia; George F. Wilson, representing the District Commissioners, and Mgr. C. F. ‘Thomas, pastor of St. Patrick’s Church. Rabbi C. F. Rosenblum, assistant rabbi of the Washington Hebrew Congrega- tion, pronounced the invocation. ‘The United States Marine Band fur- nished music for the ceremony. Scores of Washington doctors, mem- bers of the staff and others interested in the development of Casualty Hospital attended the ceremony. Shortly after its establishment at 311 ‘Third street northeast the hospital was moved to Third and Pennsylvania avenue and quarters were established over a drug store. Then the institution was transferred to Delaware avenue be- tween B and C streets and left this lo- cation when the Senate Office Building was erected. The present building, do- nated by Smith and Mayer, was taken in 1904. It was formerly the home of Judge B. F. Leighton. Since then it has kept pace with the development of the section it serves. It was in 1906 that the first steps were taken toward the building for which hte corner stone was laid today, but the process of rais- ing the money necessary was a long and tedious one. It was not until last year ‘that the project really saw the light of realization. At this time a drive was conducted and the necessary contributions and pledges were raised for work to be started. 30 Doctors, 15 Nurses on Staff. ‘The hospital serves all of the sections east of Seventh street, toward Baltimore and Annapolis, a section which is grow- ing rapidly and finding increasing need for the service rendered by the institu- tion. It maintains a staff of about 30 doctors and has 15 nurses. In addition it conducts a nurses’ training school and performs various clinical services.

By the Canadlan Press. LONDON, November 27.—Although it is generally believed King George's ill- ness resulted from his standing bare- headed in the rain for a considerable time during the Armistice day cere- monies at the Cenotaph, London news- papers are recalling that only a few days before Armistice day his majesty was shooting over the Sandringham preserves, in extremely damp weather. Sandringham tenants know the King's personality at close quarters better per- haps than any other group of his sub- jects. They are hopeful of a happy outcome of his illness, especialiy when they remember how even in recent years his hardy constitution enabled him to endure long days of sport with a gun under the most unpleasant weather conditions without suffering the least ill effects. King George, while ever the last me.a to “coddle” himself, has never been guilty of the slightest imprudence in forsaking precautions concerning his health. A hard day's shoot invariably was followed by a vigorous bath. For years his majesty has practically ab- stained from all intoxicating liquors, the most he has allowed himself being a little light wine at dinner. The only royal resident at Sandring- ham at the moment is Queen Maud of Norway, King George's sister, who to- day celebrated very quietly her fifty- ninth birthday. Appleton House, in neighborhood of Sandringham Hall, has long been one of her permanent fesi- dences. She received a birthday pres- ent from his majesty of a cerved jade pendant, chosen by the King before his 1liness. POLICEMEN HELD IN RUM RUN PROBE Three Arrested on Conspiracy Charge, Higher Pfficials Suspected. Seizure Follows Gun Battle. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, November 27.—The arrest of three police officers here on charges of conspiracy to violate the Federal prohibition law by co-operating with rum runners, resulted today in the launching of an investigation to deter- mine whether other officials are in- volved. Patrolman J. A. Martin and Special Officer Charles Deane of the Santa Monica force were arrested by the Federal prohibition administrator of this district, when he engaged three rum runners in a gun battle at the Ocean Park pier yesterday. Patrolman Sam Eizman of the Venice division of the Los Angeles Police Department, was taken into custody later. McReynolds seized 26 cases of liquor after the battle. The runners escaped in a speed boat. He then arrested the two Santa Monica officers who were nearby. McReynolds said that the arrests constituted the beginning of a drive which may involve many other police officers. ‘The three officers pleaded not guilty sndhwere released under bond of $5,000 each. RAPS BALLOT SLACKERS WHO CRITICIZE REGIME Mrs. J. A. Sippel of Baltimore Ad- dresses Clubwomen at Asheville. By the Associated Press. ASHEVILLE, N. C., November 27.— Speaking at the night session yesterday, Mrs. John A. Sippel of Baltimore, presi- dent of the General Federation of ‘Women’s Clubs for the United States, told the delegates to the ninth annual conference of the Southern Council of Federated Clubs that women who do not take the trouble to vote have no thfi to criticize the conduct of public affairs and are therefore at a loss in federated club work. ‘The purpose of the conference here is to work out plans for a program for the coming year. Mrs. Sippel explained that the principal aims of the South- ern Council would be the betterment of livi conditions and the establish- ment of proper standards. A number of sightseeing trips and luncheons are arranged for the visitors. TS Public utility plants of Texas con- sume almost 3,000,000,000 feet of gas a month in generating electricity. Believed Not Anxious to As- sume Heavy Burdensw of Father. Compared With Merry King Hal as Holding Affections of People. BY HAL O'FLAHERTY. ‘The illness of King George has turned the thoughts of many persons in all parts of the world to the succes- sion of the Prince of Wales. There seems to be an excellent chance at the moment for the King’s recovery, but should unfortunately his illness prove fatal there would ascend to the British throne one of the most popular mo]narchs since the days of merry King Hal. The King's illness is aggravated by an old wartime injury received while he was reviewing troops in France. He was thrown heavily from a horse and before he could roll clear one of the animal’s hoofs was planted on his chest. Since that time the King has had a predisposition to" trouble of the sort which now afflicts him. The amazing factor and the possibil- ities involved in the present illness of the King is that the Prince of Wales is most_reluctant to assume the burdens which his father has carried with such courage and with such success. It is comparatively well known that the Prince of Wales is not anxious to give up the comparatively easy life that he had led since he left Oxford. It is a life that appeals intensely to his love of travel and his sociable nature. It was said when he returned from his previous tour to South Africa and South America that he was willing to begin immediately an even longer trip to other parts of the world upon his arrival in England. He loves the pageantry and the eternal change of his official visits abroad, and the very contemplation of ruling the empire probably is distressing. Probably no other prince has ever been trained with sueh care and with D. C, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1928 PRINCE OF WALES. such thoroughness as the Prince of Wales. From the time he left Oxford up to the present moment the work of preparing him has never re- laxed. During the great war he was taken to the front-—not actually in the {ront-line trenches, but within range of the German heavies—and was made a member of the officers’ mess at staff headquarters. He shared the discom- forts of the ordinary soldier at times and moved with the various units as freely as an ordinary officer. His influ- ence at that time upon the morale of thT British armies was of tremendous value, made of him not a pampered prince of the realm but a man of the world in every sense of the term. Now comes the prospect that his bachelorhood and his world wanderings may come to an end. Undoubtedly an early marriage would be arranged. The anxiety of the British empire over .the King’s health undoubtedly is intensified million-fold in the mind of the young man who faces the most im- portant task of kingship in all the world.

The circumstances surrounding the death of John J. Grady Wednesday morning, when he plunged through a lighting shaft in the apartment of Mrs. Vera Berry at 1616 Fourteenth street, bid fair today to remain a mystery. Police admit they are baffled by the contradictory statements yesterday at the inquest by five of the six persons who were in the apartment at the tima, and while hte family of the dead man expressed dissatisfaction with the ver- dict, they do not plan any immediate action. A coroner’s jury yesterday afternoon found the death to be accidental. Wit- ness after witness took the stand to testify and their stories agreed on only one point—they all were sure they didn't k;m;v how he happened to fall down. the shaft. Grady’s family planned to confer with their attorney, United States Commis- sioner Needham C.

Members of the family have no con- demnation for either the police or the coroner’s jury, he says.

THE Aurico POLICE INFORMER FACES INDICTMENT)_... Accused of Perjury, Grand Larceny, Embezzlement and Larceny After Trust. Marion F. Lee, a police informer, was indicted today by the grand jury on charges of perjury, grand larceny em- bezzlement and larceny after trust. Lee was arrested August 1 in con- nection with the disappearance of $70 from a filling station, where he was employed. Detective B. F. Gravelly made the arrest after he had discovered the money in the pumproom of the sta- tion tied up in a handkerchief. Lee had reported a hold-up and robbery. After Lee had been released on bond Gravel- ly used him, it is said, to make pur- chases of liquor for him. The perjury charge grows out of an elleged false affidavit made by Lee before United States Commissioner Needham C. Tur- nage that he had hought intoxicants from Mrs. Morris Odell, in the 1400 | blocck of Sixteenth street, August 13. Before the commissioner Mrs. Odell proved that she was at the seashore at the time and the charge was dismissed against her. Lee was Lhen taken into custody. The other charges all relate to the alleged taking of the $70 and are laid In the several ways to meet the exigen- cles of the proof. Hendrix Indicted.

Hendrix is charged with taking the automobile from C. R. Lyons, but according to the police claimed he had received the car from Still. A count charging receiving a stolen automobile is contained in the indictment to meet that claim. False impersonation to secure a civil service job is charged in an indictment against Willlam Harris and William Clayton, both colored. Clayton applied for the place and passed the examina- tion. When ordered to report for work he said another job, so sent Harris to take the job. The men were to divide the pay, it is stated. | Setting up a gaming table for the receipt of bets on the result of horse races and for playing “blackjack” is charged in an indictment reported against Francis J. Deegan, William T. Deegan and Fred B. Cheatham. They were taken in a raid September 21 in the 2300 block of Champlain street. The Deegans are said to have been interested in the Ambassador oyster house on Eighteenth street, where a rald was made and where E. A. Rickert, an investigator for the Capital Traction Co., claimed he was assaulted by police and revenue men. Fifteen Are Indicted. Fifteen persons, all said to be col- ored, were indicted on charges of con- ducting a lottery known as “Numbers.” John W. Carter is alleged to be the backer of the enterprise and is charged with being concerned in the manage- ment of the lottery between January 1 and the present fime. Others named as operating and sell- ing tickets on the lottery include The- odore Grant and Maurice Gregg, ar- rested in the 500 block of Florida ave- nue; Herman Ware, arrested in_the 1500 block of Twelfth street; John Dykes, taken in the 1900 block of Eighteenth street; Israel Lindsey and Ruth McCullough, arrested in the first block of G street; Thresa Green, taken in the 600 block of T street; Robert Coleman, Herbert T.
