How the Law In Regard to Mail Matter Will
Operate.
The announcement made on behalf OF the
Louisiana Lottery Company that next year
the headquarters of the company will be re-
moved to Nicaragua is looked upon by the
officials Of the Post Office Department who
have charge Of the enforcement of the
anti-lottery law as probably true. This
move will not make any change in the
present legal status of lottery matter. Its
transmission in the mails is prohibited, not
only ss far as the domestic mails are concerned,
but also applies to the foreign mails. This con-
struction of the law was reached at an early
stage in the fight against the lottery company.
For a. soon as the law was enacted exciud-

company bee an to food this country with cir
culars aud other lottery matter. Ghe case was
brought to the attention Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury, who promptly decided that
lottery tickets and the advertisements which
usually accompany them are dutiable articles,
and when cent in letters into the United States
are forfeited. Under this ruling letters sup
posed to contain lottery matter were held for
duty, and when the owner Of the letter called
for he was obliged to open it in the presence of
Q representative of the custom officer a and il
the contents proved to be as suspected then
seizure was made under the arti-lottery law,
which prohibits the transmission Of lottery
matter in the malta The Supreme Court has
maintained this Interpretation of the
law - to matter In the mails, and
it may be considered final There is,
however, nothing in the law to prevent the
