A FIGHT ON THE LOTTERY.
Duties Levied on Its Printing Outfit
Aboard Ship and Tickets.

The Printing Material Kept on Board
Ship Under the Bonded Warehouse
Law, but the Government Decides
That This Can't Be Done in the Way
the Lottery Company II Doing It.
The Imported Tickets.
Jacksonville. Fla, April IA special
to the Times-Union from Tampa, Fla,
says: "The United States government
has begun war on the Honduras (the old
Louisiana) Lottery Company in earnest.
Since the establishment of the Graham
printery at Port Tampa City, and a
steamer was put on between this port
and the Honduras end of the old Louis
lana lottery business, the lottery company
has kept aboard Of this vessel lot Of
printing presses and material The object
was to provide against any revolution
that might arise in Honduras, or possibly
any unfavorable turn as regards the legal
status Of their business in this country.
This printing material passed through
the custom house, on regular schedule
for export, and was placed on the vessel
under the clause of regulating customs
and providing that goods might be stored
on a vessel as a bonded warehouse.
CALLED ON FOR DUTY.
Recently Special Agents Paul and
Chase were here from the department in
Washington looking into customs affairs
They reported to their chief the condi-
ton Of things, and on Saturday Collector
John I. Lesley received instructions from
the department to levy duty on these
printing materials, and to make the lot
terry company unload here and reload in
regular order for each passage of the yes
sci as goods for import, and to levy du-
ties accordingly. This ruling will have
the effect of making the company either
place its printing material here, or leave
it in Honduras. Then in case of an
emergency the company can ship them in
regular order.
DUTY ON ITS TICKETS.
Another ruling is that the lottery
equal to the face value of all the tickets
brought here from Honduras. 1t will be
remembered that the lottery company,
to evade the laws of the United
States, moved its plant to Honduras.
In order to have an American connection,
they bought property and established a
big plant at Port Tampa City. To evade
the laws of this country they have
claimed that all tickets sent out by ex-
press companies from this port were i'm
portations from Hond uras, and that no
man can buy a Louisiana lottery ticket at
Port Tampa City. Collector Lesley saws
the lottery company does not import the
tickets from Honduras, but distributes
them from some point in the United
States"

PLEAS FOR A NEW TRIAL
Breckenridge Gives Nine Reasons Why
tShOuId Be Granted.

The Verdict Declared Contrary to the
Evidence-The Damages Considered
Excessive-Errors in Law in Grant
ing the Instructions-Not Single
Vote Cast in Favor of Breckenridge
in the Jury Room.
Washington, April 17.-Counsel for
Congressman W. c. P. Breckenridge to-
day filed a motion for new trial Of Made
line Pollard's suit against their client.
The reasons given in the motion are as
follows:
evidence.
2. Because the evidence is insufficient
IN law to sustain said verdict.
3. Because the verdict is against the
weight of the evidence.
T. Because the damages awarded by
the jury were excessive.
3. For errors of law founded on the eX
captions reserved during the trial and
noted on the minutes of the justice who
tried the cause.
6. For errors of law in granting the
written instructions prayed by the plain
tiff's counsel and in refusing instructions
prayed by counsel for the defendant
Z. For errors of law contained in the
charge of the court TO the jury.
o.
ing on the evidence of witnesses, and on
witnesses whose testimony was offered on
the trial.
9. For specific errors to be assigned
hereafter in the hearing Of this motion.
The motion is signed by Messrs Butter
worth and Dowell John T. Shelby. VIM.
Mckinney and Phil. b. Thompson, coun-
sci for the defendant.
1t is probable that the argument on the
fria
Breckinridges attorneys, will not be
heard this week. Judge Bradley will set
q day after consultation with the counsel
on both sides. AS he is not likely to over
rule his own ~decisions. the motion will
probably be carried to the court of APP
peals.
HOW THE VERDICT WAS REACHED.
The members of the Pollard -Breckin-
ridge jury have nearly all Of them talked
freely about the reasons that induced
them to declare in favor of the plaintiff
All agree that the testimony of Mrs.
Blackburn, Mai. Moore and Claude
Francis influenced them in, their decision.
1t appears from the story told
by the members Of the jury that
there was not one ballot cast
in favor of Col. Breckenridge as was re-
ported just after the verdict was rendered,
but that one juror, Dr. A. M. Green, re-
fused to vote on the first (and only
ballot until certain points in the case had
been discussed. A few minutes after the
jury reached the jury room, and before
any discussion began, Foreman Cole
asked how many were in favor of giving
the case to the plaintiff, and eleven hands
went up.
DIR. GREEN FAILS TO VOTE.
DR.. Green sat with folded arms, but he
told his fellow jurors that his refusal to
vote did not mean he was in favor of the
defendant. At his request the evidence
was discussed for short time, and then
DR.. Green cast in his vote with the others
Il don't see how else the jury could have
acted he said
There was a wide range in the amounts
named by the jurors for damages to the
plaintiff One member wanted to give
81, another $4,000, and another $50. 600
Several jurors named SIS, 900, and as that
was about the average, it was adopted by
the jury.
