LOTTERY CENTRES RAIDED

TICKETS SEIZED SAID TO MVCOST HOLDERS 9100000

Are Forfeit Any Prize DUtrlot AttorneyCan Collect on Them Go to the Poor

Arrests Fainting Girl CrleTeat She and Her Father Are Ruined

As a result of four raW made yester-day morning the District Attorneys officebelieves that It his dealt an effective blowto the lottery business in this city Thou-sands of lottery tickets were confiscatedin the raids and It Is estimated that theybad cost their possessors at least 100000There were so many tickets that AssistantDUtrlot Attorney Kresel who conducted

raids didnt have time to count them

The tickets wero the output of four com-

panies two German companies the LouUlana Lottery Company now In Hondurasand a Mexican company In all seven

wero taken and Mr Kreselsaid that they were the direct representat-ives in this city of tho lottery companiesFour he said are the men who bu thetickets from tho lottery companies and distribute thorn to agents who In turn sellthem at a small profit

Before the wholesalers could get thetickets they had to pay the companies forthem Therefore as Mr Kresel explained-the tickets confiscated yesterday had allbeen paid for and the men who put up themoney ore arrested The prisoners MrKrowl believes lave been ruined finan-

cially The law says that the tickets areforfeit and that it the duty of the DistrictAttorney should there be any distributionof property to sue and recover for It Ifthe county wins any prizes in tho Germanlotteries the money goes Into the countytreasury to be used for the benefit of thepoor If there is not a winning ticket in

the greet bunch in Mr Kresels possession-it would be a reflection on the honesty ofthe game Still the German law may pro-

vide for the annulment of a drawing thusthe criminal process of another

State As to the laws in Honduras nobodywas daring yesterday to speculatehow they be adjusted to the situation

One prisoner Is a nlneteenyparold girlrather also was arrested She was

the manager of her fathers lottery shopShe had a great bunch of lottery ticketsin her hand and as she was being put into

patrol wagon she shrieked that all herfathers money lost

The raids were the result of a monthsinvestigation upon number of complaints

Several men complained that they hadwinning and could not get themoney The raiders met at the Mulberry

street police station at 10 oclock Mr

Kresel had charge Rcordon Shea andBrennan formor county detectives DetecHVO Flood and Roundsman Hackett of theDistrict Attorneys office and six policemenfrorh the stationmade UP party Alltfce wgr run the guise

on Friday It came across the Hull fishing

This Is the only explanation at presentthat con bo offered for tho terrible factthat the Russian warships opened fire

on the defenceless fishermen with shrapnelmaintaining their fusillade according tothe fishermen who escaped for twentyminutes sinking at least one trawler and

scattering death and among thecrows

Not the least disgraceful feature of thetragedy la the fact that tho warships con-
