the money. If they had saved what they
stole they could have retired in few years
and lived on their income. But they went
out to the races and lost it all on sure tips
They are still doing business in this City,
but the police are on the watch for them.
They have been arrested several times
already, but could easily afford to pay their
fines and 60 back to hoodwinking people
who want to get rich without working.
There are so many of those kinds of people
in this world that these kind of villains
prosper in spite OF all the warnings of the
police and the newspapers.
Now, if you count up all these fraudulent
companies, add dozen more of the same
kind of concerns to the number, and then
consider that one-haH of the tickets pur-
porting to entitle the holders to chances in
the genuine lotteries are counterfeits, you
can appreciate what odds one is playing
against when one starts out to get thou
sand dollars for two bits.

MONEY FOR THE CITY.
An Opinion Of Acknowledgement Fitz
gerald Sets Officials Thinking.

An Opinion OF Attorney-G General Fitz-
gerald Sets Officials Thinking.
The recently expressed opinion of At
torney- General Fitzgerald that the Assess
ors of interior counties are entitled to per
cent commission on personal property col
lected for this State has caused consider
able commotion amony city officials.
The Assessor in San Francisco is collect
ing taxes for the first time this year under
the new revenue law. In the Attorney
Generals opinion, he would thus be en-
titled to the 6 per cent commission. The
only thing in the way is the fact that As
SCISSOR Siebe is paid salary. Hence, it is
argued, that the 6 per cent commission
paid by the State will go directly to the
City.
The portion of personal property taxes
collected in this City is stated as between
$500, 900 and $350000 per annum. Six per
cent Of this sum would amount to about
$4,000. If the City could recover this
sum for, say, twenty years past, it would
amount to the tidy sum of between $500, OCO
and $4oO, 600, an amount quite sufficient to
satisfy all demands of creditors of the City.

rate, and tickets can be cashed (by the
knowing ones) even as low as 10 per cent
of the winning. You take your ticket to
the paying-teller. He is an expert, and,
besides being able to tell you whether your
ticket is a counterfeit, he is provided with
a list showing in what cities the winning
tickets were sold. If all is well, and you
are willing to pay the tolls, the paying
teller will hand over the cash in exchange
for your receipt and your signature on the
back of the ticket.

some of the biggest and most influential

Surely they are amenable to the Penal
Code of this State, or could be made amen
able to it. They are assisting in the man
agement of a lottery.
And who sells the tickets?
First of all the regularly appointed
agents of the companies. They deal d.
rectly with the companies and are person.
ally commissioned by the companies. In
the City Directory and on the sign over
their doors is usually the single word:
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-16
WHO CASH TICKETS.
Some of the Ramifications of the Traffic.
Shopgirls and Employees Forced

Occasionally-veryoc occasionally, in truth,
despite the glowing reading notices of
lucky winnings published in the news
papers-holders of lottery tickets in this
City do make winnings.
Indeed, company that expects to con-
tinue in the business of robbing the young
must occasionally part with little of it's
Illegal wealth. But usually the winners
are friends of the men who manage the
concern, and large percentage of the re-
puted winning is, of course, returned to
the lottery company.
There are cases known to every man
about town of men and women who have
been paid to represent that they won large
sums of money from this or that lottery
that never even had a drawing. There is
the case of the Kearny-street saloon keeper,
whose place is opposite certain cigar
store not more than mile north of Market
street, who is known to have posed as the
winner of a $4,000 prize from the San Do
mingo lottery-a fake concern that never
had a drawing, nor even more than the
sembiance of a real existence. The news
papers published long accounts about the
lucky winning, and for time even some
of the men about town were beguiled into
buying tickets from that saloon-keeper.
But soon the truth got out, and now any
body who knows what is going on in town
will tell You all about it. OF course the
rascals were very clever in their work, and
covered up their tracks so carefully that
they left no legal evidence behind them.
Hence it is unsafe to mention names.
But the tale is undoubtedly true, and
one of the men concerned in the deal is
very well known in this City. And
every dealer in legitimate lottery tickets
will tell you that the San Domingo COM
pany is fraud from top to bottom, though
it has netted several small fortunes to one
or two men already rich.
But about the tickets that do draw-say
an occasional Louisiana ticket-who cashes
them?
The banks of this City.
Not all of the banks, of course, but a
good many of them, and among the lot
one or two of the best known and most
reputable banks in this City.
This is truth
Ask any of the peddlers how you are to
get your money in case your ticket wins.
He will name the banks that will cash the
tickets for 20 per cent of the amount won.
Some banks have recently cut under the

the Servian band and the distribution of
ITO prizes. That there will be reminis-
cences without number of life in the little
country beyond the Atlantic goes without
saying, and it is equally sure that the
parallel which Servian-Americans are
proud of making, between their native and
adopted countries, will be drawn as usual.
The outing comes a day late, for the cele-
bration of one of the national holidays
which commentaries the battle of Kosovo,

BROKERS'.

They change their address very frequent
ly, so frequently, in TRUTH that the police
often lose track of them for time. They
are well-to-do men. They patronize the
prizefghts. They wear good clothes and
go to the BARRIERS every day. They toll
not nor spin, yet champagne is their teddy
and the best hotels and cafes in town en-
Joy their patronage.
They do not sell single tickets. 1t is
their business to furnish tickets to the ped
oilers. Who are the peddlers?
There is one in nearly every barber-shop,
is nearly every restaurant, several of them
in every hotel. They are streetcar drivers
and conductors; they are tobacconists,
newsdealers, wandering men and women
who sometimes peddle pencils or matches
on the side; they are clerks in dry-goods
houses, floorwalkers, department foremen;
they are sub-contractors and the foremen
under them-their name is legion in San
Francisco.
A policeman, very naturally, finds it diff
fcult to purchase a ticket, but any one
else in the wide world who happens to be
in San Francisco and happens to have the
price of a ticket can very readily acquire
one.
The worst traffic is that of the floor
walkers and department overseers in the
big dry good and notion houses. Every en-
ploye must buy of them or incur their
dislike. Cashgirls who earn 81 and So
week are forced to buy lottery tickets or
lose their places.
Of course there are some stores where
the proprietors are 80 vigilant of this abuse
that it seldom grows very great. There
are also some department heads who are
above lotteryticket selling, but these are
the exception. A little investigation by
any one who doubts this statement will
soon convince them that the picture is not
overdrawn. In truth, the limit of news
paper article will not permit even the full
Case to be stated
No one is forced to buy lottery ticket.
That is true. But the saesgirl or the CASH
girl who wants to hold her place must be
on good terms with the person at the head
of her department. It is the exception
rather than the rule when this person,
man or woman, does not deal in lottery
tickets.
1t is so with the day laborer. He wants
to please his boss. There are good many
idle men who would gladly take his job at
the price of few lottery tickets every
month. So the men who have the job buy
when often their families need the money
more than the rascals who conduct the
lotteries.
And large percentage of these tickets
are counterfeits. Who ever heard, even
in the newspaper lottery advertisements,
of cashgirl drawing prize in lottery?
Yet the cashgirls buy.

THE LOTTERY FRAUDS.
More Than Half the Tickets Are Coun.
terfeits and Many Companies
Are Pure Fakes.

Aside from closing the columns of other
wise reputable newspapers to lottery ad-
vertisements, perhaps nothing would have
so great tendency to discourage the
harmful traffic in lottery tickets as the
general knowledge that fully so per cent OF
the tickets now on the market and in the
hands of the agents and peddlers of this
City are counterfeits of the genuine. Per-
haps as many as one-third of the remain
ing half Of all the lottery tickets sold here
are those OF fake companies.

guesses at things, but the calm and dis
passionate utterance of man accustomed

A Bicycle Dispute.

In Chicago John H. Breckenridge sought to
take his bicycle to his Office in the Dearborn
building, but the janitor would not permit him
to do so, saying it ought to go to stable.
Breckenridge has sued the proprietor of the
building for damages and asks the court to
confirm his right to stable his silent steed in
