Show YOUTHFUL GIBLI1 SCOREDJBY CQURT Judge Agee Threatens to Take Matters Into His Own Hands. Special to The Tribune. N OGDEN, June 10. "I assume that now the attention of the board of city commissioners com-missioners is called to the existence of the condition at Glenwood park in which children are allowed to gamble, that they will stop it at once. If they don't I will take immediate steps to do so." This is the substance of a statement issued Lhis afternoon by Judge Alfred W. Agee after he had sent a communication to the board of city commissioners. In referring to the games of chance, which he said he saw operated at Gien-wood Gien-wood park Sunday afternoon and in which the players for the most part were children chil-dren ranging from S to 10 years of age, Judge Agee said it was a deplorable condition con-dition to be permitted at a city park and that it must be stopped. He said that the children wtio did not win any candy after the whirl of the wheel left there crying. He said that a boy about 16 years of age was operating the game. Commissioner Miles L. Jones, superintendent superin-tendent of parks, when aseked late this afternoon about the communication from Judge 'Agee, said: "The court cannot single out Glenwood park on this, for the same condition exists ex-ists at the Hermitage ami at the Lagoon. We have an order that children under 18 years of age can not play the wheel or any other games of chance. We will remove the games when the order is issued is-sued removing them from the canyon and the Lagoon, both of which are in this court's jurisdiction." |
