Going to the Pacific Coast-The Luke Case
General Gleanings.
Mr.. F. G. Luke, of Lukes knitting
factory on Twenty fifth street. who was
arrested a few days ago for the second
time on the charge of running lottery
was Sc en- by q reporter of the The HERALD
yesterday. 1t is a well known fact that
for several months past Mr.. Luke has had
in operation numerous cloth ing clubs, and
at tue present time he has fourteen in
operation. Each club is composed of forty
members, or in all $50 members. 1t has
been the custom to hold drawing il each
club every week, one of the members in
each club drawing a suit of clothes valued
at $40. a new member is put into the club
the following week in place of the one
drawing ous, so that therein yet remains
forty members in each club.
Should any one of those going into the
club be unsuccessful in withdrawing at
the expiration of forty weeks he is entitled
to the suit of clothes
Speaking of this difficulty, Mr.. Luke
stated he rather enjoyed the notoriety,
but could not see the business of it. 1t is
his intention TO continue with the clubs
until it has been decided that 1t is contrary
to law, ana he does not feel the slightest
uneasiness about that.
