The Postoff1ce INSPECTOR.

Postoffice Inspector Erwin's views and
statements in the matter are similar to
those of Mr.. McCoppin, but in regard to
the change in the law, as suggested by the
Grand Jury, Mr.. Erwin thinks that al
though it might be advantageous it is not
absolutely essential, and that all that is
needed for their ultimate suppression is the
utmost vigilance upon the part of the au-
thorities and the harmonious cooperation
of the Postoffice Department, Wells, Fargo
& Co. and the police, and in event of an
arrest for an infringement upon the law
that the courts deal as severely with the
wrong-doer as the law will permit.
"The law also prohibits any paper or
pamphlet containing notice of church
lottery, grab-bag social or similar enter
tainment going through the mails, and al
though this clause has occastoned consid-
cradle comment they are considered by the
legislators without prejudice to be as
deleterious to morality as the games of
chance which are run upon a larger scale,
but upon the same basis" said Mr.. Erwin.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-14

authorities and he saw Postoffice Inspector
Erwin. Mr.. Erwin expressed the greatest
willingness to help us in the same direc-
ton and said he would communicate with
Washington on the subject. That was
about month ago, but he has not yet no.
tilted me of having received reply to his
communication.
Il simply refer to these matters to show
that the Police Department has done and
is doing everything possible to suppress
the lottery evil. The Grand Jury never
said a word to me about gambling or lot
teries, and l am at loss to find out how
they came by their information. They ap-
parently did not make any investigation,
but contented themselves with saying We
believe What value can conscientiously
be put upon statements made without a
thorough Investigation of the facts?"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-14
Postmaster McCoppin.

Postmaster McCoppin, when asked to
give his views upon the suppression of the
lotteries and his opinion of the recon-
mendation of the Grand Jury to make it
felony to sell lottery tickets or to adver-
tise the lottery companies, said:
although we are here simply to execute
the law as it is prescribed to us in the
statutes, we also have some personal feel
ing upon the subject and believe that lot
terleS in every form are great detriment
to any community in which they exist,
and that everything possible for their sup
preston should be and is being done BY
this department.. The enforcement of the
law in regard to newspaper advertisement
is occasioning considerable trouble in this
department at the present time, as it is
very difficult for us to segregate what ad-
vertising does or does not come within the
meaning of the law as it stands.
For instance, the card of Mr.. Conrad,
which appeared in the papers up to short
time ago, stating that although he had &C
cepted an outside position he still retained
the presidency of the Louisiana Lottery
Company. After considerable discus
sion upon the matter the Postoffice Depart
ment decided the card was not intended
for Conrad's personal use and benefit, but
that this was simply ruse of the company
to bring their business to prominence and
call tne attentlon OF the people TO It's exist
ence, and papers containing the notice
were finally considered unavailable. The
card was Immediately Withdrawn. The ban
passed by Congress in March of this year
is much more stringent than the one in ex-
istence prior to its passage, and even per-
sons suspected of receiving lottery tickets
or any pamphlets which appertafn to lot
teries, the privilege of the mails is denied
them and all letters addressed to such
parties or firms are Immediately confisca-
ted, a red stamp fraudulent" is inscribed
upon the envelope, and it is returned
either to the writer or to the Dead Letter
Office, if no address appears upon the let
ter. This is quite severe, but is absolutely
essential to protect our rights

tons in the bunkers, and he and his men
put in 32S tons before the vessel sailed.
Captain Talbot-Were her bunkers full when
she was leaving?
Kelly-Yes, sir; the bunkers were full and
well trimmed. | don't think the coal shifted
before the steamer went down.
Paul Rossiter, late chief engineer of the
steamer Colima. was the next witness. In
answer to questions he said:
1 vas chief engineer of the wrecked vessel on
and OFF for years, In fact almost from the time
she began running on this coast Her average
daily consumption of coal was about twenty
seven tons, and she carried in her bunkers 4SO
tons, sometimes fifteen tons less. owing to the
weight and quality of the coal The forward
cross bunkers held about ITO tons, and that
we always used first in order to keep the coal
trimmed.
Captain Talbot-who was your chief assistant
the last two years you were on the Colima?
Rossiter-Mr. Ebberson. He went out as
chief engineer on the trip she was lost.
Talbot-Did you consider him thoroughly
competent to take charge of the machinery?
Rosslter-Ge s, sir did. When l left the Co.
lima considered her safe as any vessel in
the fleet. If anything was worn out it was re-
placed and II any repairs were necessary they
were at once attended to. The Colima was my
pet and l considered her as comfortable q home
as man ever desired.
AT this point Engineer Rossiter broke
down at the recollection of the old steamer
and 1t took a second or two for him to re-
cover himself.
Talbot-When were new boilers put in her?
Rossiter-Ab bout seven years ago
Talbot-When was she fixed up?
Rosslter-All above the cement was renewed
some years ago.
Tai pot-WaS she cemented then?
Rosslter-Yes, sir, under the boilers and I'm
not sure but what under the bunkers also.
Inspector Phillips-Would it be possible for q
man to go into the bilges and see the skin of
the plates?
RossiteIr-No, sir :; not unless he Clipped the
cement Off
Phillips-I only asked the question because
saw by the papers that a man could go into the
bilges with hammer and drive hole through
her bottom.
Captain Talbot-Why was her bottom &C.
mented?
Rossiter-In order to preserve the hull from
rusting away.
Talbot-Did you ever inspect the iron hull
after the cement had been Clipped away?
Rossiter-Yes, sir it was as good as new.
Phtllips-How many safety valves were there
on the Colima?
Rossiter-One spring safety valve on each of
the four boilers, and lever valve on the super
heater.
Talbot-If the ship was on her beam ends
would the lever valve be liable to shift and
allow the steam to escape?
Rossiter-Yes, sir; it might do that.
At this point the inquiry was continued
till to-day, when the men-of-warsmen from
the navy-yard will testify.

The leading prizes are as follows:

Sold in San Francisco.

Since the CALL closed its columns to the
lottery companies a great deal has been
accomplished in several other ways to
lessen the evil in this State, and the state
ment of Chief Crowley that the sale of
lottery tickets has diminished consider
ably in this City within the past six
months is certainly gratifying to those
who have made the most determined fight
against the lotteries. But it is not enough
that the sale of tickets has decreased.
The sale should be utterly prohibited, and
those known to be agents of lottery COM
panies should be summarily and as severely
dealt with as the laws will permit. There
should be no tickets for sale in this City,
and yet, from the foregoing advertisement,
as well as from the personal knowledge of
almost every person well acquainted in
this City, it would seem that it is not even
difficult and not at all dangerous to pur-
chase lottery tickets here. Although
Wells-Fargo have prohibited their en-
ployes from handling them and the au-
thorities have been stirred to some extent
in the matter, yet the business of selling
lottery tickets still continues. The express
company hit the lotteries a great blow
when, following the example set by the
CALL, it issued the following peremptory
order against the handling of lottery tick
cts. The order is reprinted from the CALL
of April II:

Foreman of the Grand Jury.

"The matter of lotteries - said William
H. Gagan, foreman of the Grand Jury,
'was referred to a committee, which
looked into and discussed the matter for
several days. When it had concluded its
labors it reported to the whole jury that it
deemed it advisable that presentments be
made against all the newspapers in the
City which printed lottery advertisements
~ did not favor this recommendation
and neither did the majority of the Others
We gave a good deal of consideration to
such procedure would be foolish. The law
does not provide that the Grand Jury shall
handle such matters as misdemeanors ex-
cept by means of presentment, and it is as
vet question whether or not they can
reach. That very question is before the
Supreme Court now on the presentments
we made against owners of houses of i'll
fame, and until that is decided it would
only serve to cum Der up the dockets of the
courts with more cases."
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-14
The Chief of Police,

In his interview Chief Crowley said: 81
know for fact that within the past six
months the sale of lottery tickets in this
City has been diminished very consider
ably. Franklin of 2615 Kearny street has
gone out OF the business, as he told me he
was so hampered that he had decided to
abandon the struggle. Cakes of Grant
avenue, another large dealer, has also
gone out of the business.
81 know that the sale of Little Louisiana
tickets is going on to certain extent, but
we are doing all we can to suppress it by
making arrests whenever we can. If the
public only knew that most of these
tickets are forged there would be very little
sale for them. We know for fact that
thousands of these forged tickets are con-
stantly being printed, and it is on the
records that two or three arrests were
made recently of the men who printed the
tickets and the plates. Tickets and other
paraphernalia were seized.
They take photograph or Autograph
OF the genuine ticket, and make thousands
OF duplicate copies. This fact cannot be
too strongly impressed upon the public,
because they are simply throwing away
their money by purchasing forged tickets.
Just let me say here that if all papers
took the same position as the CALL in re-
gard to lotteries we would have very little
tickets. 1t is not the working classes alto
gether that we have to contend against,
but 1t Is a weIl-known fact that people of
means make it habit to encourage the
sale of these tickets by purchasing them
themselves. The United States laws have
helped US great deal in diminishing the
sale of lottery tickets | mean the law
making it penal offense to send lottery
circulars through the mails.
Nv hat do L think about the recon-
mendation of the Grand Jury? Well, I
think it would never do at all To make
the sale of lottery tickets and advertising
and aiding the lottery business a felony
would be so severe that we could never get
a conviction. What | would suggest is
that the penalty should be term of i'm
prisonment without the alternative of a
fine. If that were done there would be an
end to the lottery business. 1 would
make the term of imprisonment reason
able, say from five to thirty days. That,
in my opinion, would be the simplest and
best way.
81 have men specially detailed on lotter-
les, and there is general order to all the
men to make arrests whenever they find
any person engaging in the sale of lottery
tickets.
''Shortly after the Edmunds bill was
passed by the last Congress sent an Off
with suggestion that he would permit
me to place secret agent on the trains
with their agent. The object was that
their agent might point out to our secret
agent the packages containing lottery tick
cts and lottery circulars so that he could
seize them. Mr.. Cooper's reply was that
it would be impracticable, as their agent
could not assume the responsibility
of opening any package, as it might be
the wrong one and would get the company
into trouble. l thought it could be done,
as there surely would be no difficulty in
singing out these packages.
II sent the same officer to the Postoffice

CesspOOls Which Were Not Up to the

George T. Gaden, president of the Civic
Federation, is again after a scalp in Super
intendent of Streets Ashworth's office. An
assessment was filed in the Mayors office
for four cesspools at the corner of Army

satisfied with the assessment and he asked
the surveyor to make a remeasurement
The amount OF the assessment was
$685." said Mr.. Gaden yesterday, ''and 1
had learned that the cesspools were too
small. Accordingly, the Surveyor and
myself went out and measured them and
found that our suspicious were correct.
The contractor who did the work was Gar

CLAIMS ACKNOWLEDGED,
The AngIo-ChiIean Commits
sion Writes About Shields
and McKinstry.
AIameda'S Public Administrator Is
Suing for Shields Claim
Against Chile.

Attorney F. Alleyne Orr is in receipt Of a
letter from the Anglo Chilean Claims Com.
mission now sitting in Santiago, Chile
which conveyed the pleasing news that
the claims of his clients have been filed for
consideration.
Attorney Orr represents Andrew Nc
Kinstry and Patrick Shields, sailors onthe
Keweenaw, and English subjects, who
were assaulted by the Chileans shortly
after the attack on sailors of the Baltimore
Shields was drowned in the West Oakland
railroad yards January %, and all his be-
longings-a suit of badly worn clothes and
claim against the Chilean Government
went to the Public Administrator of Ala
media County. Here very peculiar COM
plication rose.
Shields death changed the aspect of the
case, which now stands with an American
attorney suing on behalf of an American
official representing the claim of an Eng
llsh subject who was assaulted by citizens
OF foreign power while he was sailor
on an American vessel, the Keweenaw.
The day before Shields died instructions
were received by Attorney Orr to make
papers out anew and forward them forth
with to the International Commission at
Santiago, Chile. AS the claimant could
not append his name the claim was signed
ny bue AidLneud OlnCldl, asking damages OF
100000 for the dead man. So in this wav
the second set of legal documents were
sent to Chile in compliance with the rules
of the new commission, and only last week
they were acknowledged as having arrived
in time, and, after they had been filed
with the commission, numbers 96 and 81
were allotted them on the calendar.
The commission consists of one English
man, one Chilean and one German, the
last being umpire. 1t will sit for six
months if the claims are not all settled
before that time expires. It's secretary ad-
vised the local attorney that a Chilean
lawyer be selected from three named by
the British Minister, to watch progress OF
the cases before the commissioners
