Business Transacted by the Board Of Direc-
tors at Yesterdays Meeting.
At the meeting of the Board of State
Prison Directors at San Quentin yesterday,
Warden Hale reported that the total cost
of maintenance of the prison for the past
fiscal year had been $162, 022 90, being re-
duction in expense of more than $4,000
from the cost of the twelve months i'm
mediately preceding that period. The per
capita daily cost had been 34.72 cents, as
against 36 cents the year before. The con-
victs' dining-room had been provided with
new tables and the prison-yard had been
paved with asphaltum. He urged that
some suitable place be provided for the
care of the convict insane.
Accountant Wadham reported that the
books had been well kept The funds are
as follows: Cash on hand, $24,574 SO; pris-
onerS' cash, $3627 rs; available for the
forty seventh fiscal year, $24S, 100 70; I'M
paid bills and salaries, 1880 SO; net
assets, $230,71 80
The board approved bills aggregating
$10,445 81. oe

carry and deliver the mail addressed to a
lottery swindler would certainly be to as
sist his illegal enterprise.
Metzger 81 Franklin have written to in
fuential friends in Washington to secure
an order releasing their mail in San Fran
cisco. Postmaster McCoppin says he will
deliver their mail to them as soon as they
receive such an order. But they have not
received it yet, and probably never will.
Yet it is not certain, for J. L. Franklin has
friends in high places, and is himself a
member Of the Democratic State Central
Committee. If the postal authorities at
Washington can be influenced by wire
pulling Mr.. Franklin may receive his
order, but the chances are that the Little
Louisiana Lottery Company will be bank
rupt before that order comes.
So, between the counterfeit Little Louisi-
ana tickets and the Impending bankruptcy
of the proprietors of the Little Louisiana,
it is exceedingly dangerous for one to in
vest in ticket bearing the name of that
company.
And now if the Little Louisiana genuine
ticket is unsafe, and if the Honduras Com
pany repudiates it's prize-winning tickets,
as shown in THE CALL recently what posi-
bic chance is there for one who is bound to
throw money away in the lottery faxes and
swindles?
No chance at all.
That is the correct answer. 1t has been
shown how Fox & Co., how the San
Domingo, how the Spanish-American and
all the other fake concerns conduct their
business. And now there is further proof
OF the swindling methods of the so-called
louisiana National Lottery Company

traffic very closely, and has ways and
means of finding out things that must re-
main secret to laymen. Every week Chief
Crowley knows almost to a dozen how
many lottery tickets were sold the week
before and by what companies the tickets
were issued.
Just row the Epson gang is flooding the
market with counterfeit Little Louisiana
tickets, and Metzger & Franklin, the. pro-
prietors OF that company in this City, are
on the verge OF bankruptcy. They have
been unable to place their tickets on the
market because OF the vigilance of the
police. They dare not carry their tickets
with them, dare not keep their tickets in
their Office in the Wells-Fargo building,
and dare not sell their tickets except to
those who are well known or to those who
come well vouched for by some other we'll
known law breaker. Their tickets are
worth money. If the police should seize a
hundred or thousand of them the loss
would be considerable.
The Epson gang have nothing like
that to fear. When the police seize their
tickets the only loss is the cost of printing,
which is nominal. Hence 1T is the Epson
ticket now being sold for the Little Louis
lana ticket. The counterfeit is a very clever
piece of work and only the most skilled
expert can tell the difference. Indeed.
there is practically no difference, except
that one is authorized by Lawbreakers
Metzger 81 Franklin and the other is not
authorized by them. Both tickets are
printed in this City, on the same paper,
with the same kind of type and engrav-
ing blocks, the same ink, the same press
there is, indeed. no difference. Metzger

The patriotic feelings of the people at
Spokane, Wash, have lately been stirred
to great depths because of the ascertained
fact that precedence has been given in the
public schools OF that town to English his
tory over American history. Indignant
public opinion compelled the School Com
missioners to reverse the unpatriotic order
of things, and English history has been
relegatod to the background.

yesterday, II care little for them and

reflect unfairly upon board which has

Of such attacks, if they should have any

Director Hayes was very indignant over
the attacks. "There is not the slightest
foundation for them," he said. "They are
inspired by some one who wants to gain
some end or who is seeking revenge for
some fancied injury. 1t is abominable!"

Two Accidental Fires.

An oyerheated chimney and hot ashes thrown
against the side of q building caused two fires
yesterday morning. The damage in each case
was light.
At 2:02 A. ID. an alarm from box 70 called
the department to 232 Ninth street. The place
was occupied as French laundry by Marc
Crapuchettes. Before the blaze was put out
the building was damaged TO the extent OF
500 and the contents to $500.
Hot ashes thrown against the II ar of 929
Harrison street caused a still alarm to be
turned in to 6 engine at 8 rs A. NJ The place
was owned by Kent d. Bruce, and was occupied
as an assembly hall and dwellings. The dam
age was $500.

UKIAH, Cal, July 10, 1895.
Editor The Call: Inclosed please find original
letter sent by Earl & Co. to one of their agents
here soon after w. F. & Co. order was
published in THE CALL restraining said agents
from handling lottery matter. l tried hard to
get hold of this little sooner for you, but could
not get same till to-day. 1 have promised the
lottery company agent here that his name
would not appear, so have scratched same at
top OF letter. One thing THE CALL may feel
proud of is that you have completely killed the
swindle here and saving the people of
Ukiah $50 per month from this one company
as they used to sell that amount very easily be-
fore you took the matter up. They are notsell-
ing single ticket to-day. Z. E. PIERsoN.
On the engraved letter-heading of the
fake San Domingo Company is the fol-
lowing list of banks which the company
claims as repositories. The list is a bald
falsehood. Not one of the banks men,
toned will give Earle G. Co. any credit.
and outside of the San Francisco bank
mentioned, in which Earl may have $100,
more or less, on deposit, none of the other
banks have dollar on their books to the
credit of this particular swindler. The
banking-list reads as follows:
REPOSITORIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
Franklin National Bank, New York.
Mechanics National Bank, Boston.
Second National Bank, Jersey City.
Equitable National Bank, Cincinnati.
Chemical National Bank, st. Louis.
Metropolitan National Bank, Kansas City.
National Bank of Commerce, Omaha.
American National Bank, Denver.
Bank of Commerce, Chicago.
First National Bank, San Francisco.
The foregoing list, pretentious as it
reads to the uninitiated, is but an evidence
of fraud to the knowing. All the world
knows that the San Domingo is fake, and
Ukiah is wise that she has decided to give
no more of her money to the swindling
hands of Earl & Co.
Mr.. Cakes, the old man at the Palace
Hotel who sells Honduras tickets, has
promised once again to go out of the bust
ness. His arrest last week by Policeman
Frank Riley was clever piece of work on
the part of that officer, and has had good
effect in somewhat discouraging the old
man, who hitherto had been too sly for the
police.
