ON TOWN LOTTERIES.
Passage Of Their Advertisements
Through the Mail Prohibited.
MONEY NAY Be ORDERED REFUNDED.
Evidence Of Lavish Extravaganza In the
Post Once Department at Washington
SHADY Concerns Blackmailed By
Certain LawyeFa

| Washington, April 6.-The order
issued by the fraud division of the
post Office department prohibiting
TOWNSHIP lotteries by preventing the
passage of such advertising matter
through the mails is one of the re-
suits, as alleged, of the investigation
OF Mr.. Bristow, the fourth assistant
postmaster general and Inspector
Harrison, of Kansas City. The gen
eral inquiry into matters allowed by
the department caused action to be
taken in this matter and this is to
be followed, as believed, by a close
inquiry into the habits and conduct
of the guessing get rich quick
schemes and cooperative enter
prises.
1t is yet a question whether the
money already collected by townsite
companies on lottery plan shall be re-
funded or merely q stop on future
lotteries ordered. There is a feeling
in the reaction at the department to
force refunding of the money, and
this would bring the operators up
standing. 1t is believed similar or
der will in due time come out against
the guessing-get-rich-quick schemes
and possibly this will require refund
ing of all moneys from which the
public had been separated. If so,
this will make action among various
pro bono private grafters over the !
country.
Possibly more towns have been
opened in this way in Oklahoma and
Indian territory than in any other
section. AS reported here, nearly
svery one Of the new towns on the
building lines of railway which were
begun on acre property have been
conducted on the lottery plan.
Among these are Sayre, Thomas,
Sparks, Marshall, Weleetka, Wau-
'ika, Honquenist, Wewoka, Kaw City
ind many others. Additions to many
owns In Oklahoma and Indian terri
DRY have been opened in this man
Ter.
It is charged by some that certain
'ost Office officials had agreed to al
ow cooperative schemes and get
ieh-quick guessing contests to use
he mails. A row between the graft
RS operating the guessing-get-rich-
uick schemes and those engaged in
be cooperative schemes seems to be
for the trouble in the
ost Office department.
