U. S. Federal Office Sends In.
structions to San Francisco
to Start Active Campaign.
TWO AGENCIES RAIDED
Employees Arrested and Tickets and
Papers Observation-Disclosures OF
Interstate Commerce Law.

San Francisco, April 25.-Acting un-
der instructions from Washington the
federal office today began what Is de-
clared to be an active campaign
against the lottery companies. Ohl-
GERS connected with the U. S. mar
shals office, the secret service and the
postoffice raided the agencies OF the
Honduras and the Mexican lotteries
and surprised the employees in the act
of handling a large quantity OF tick
cts. Papers and packages were also
secured as evidence. A number OF en-
ployes were arrested. Postoffice In
spector Monroe said: Il can only say
generally lat it is on orders from
Washington that | am working and on
information obtained by the depart
ment from inspectors in San Antonio,
Chicago and Louisiana, where these
tickets are brought in from Honduras
and from Mexico. Raids have already
been made in Los Angeles and other
points. All complaints so far charge
the arrested parties with violating the
interstate commerce law, which makes
it felony, punishable with two years
Imprisonment, to send lottery tickets

e. p. RIPLEY MAY RETIRE.
Persistent Rumor In Circulation to
the Effect That the Santa Fe viii
Lose Its President

Topeka, April 25-The rumor is
current again that President E. P.
Ripley will retire from the official
family of the Santa Fe Railway. This
rumor has been reiterated so persist
emily during the past few months
that 1t has begun to gain considerable
credence among railroad people. The
report was again talked in Chicago
yesterday and 1t is said that George
B. Harris, who is now with the Bur-
lington Railway, will succeed Mr. Rip
ley.
It is expected that Mr.. Harris will
retire from the presidency of the Bur
lington because J. j. Hill wants him tc
do SO. Since Hill has acquired con
troll of that road, Darius Mills has
been first vice president in charge o1
traffic, and Daniel Willard has beer
second vice president in charge Of op

ORGANIZATION
DOING GOOD
Pueblo Railroads Form Associa.
ton to Enable Employees
to Save Money.
100000 EACH MONTH
Being Paid in-..Lots Are Bought and
Hemss Built for Men Who Pay for
Them on the Instalment Plan.

Pueblo, Coo, April 25.-Real estate
is receiving it's greatest boom from an
individual source this month, and in
fact, for many months past, from an
organization comprising the railroad
men of the railroads running into the
city, and this month alone there are in
course OF construction six houses
which will be owned and occupied by
railroad men living here. The COM
bined values of these homes will run
far over $4,000.
This organization, which was form
ed in Pueblo in January, 1902, is now
capitalized at $1,00O,O0O and is head
ed by Superintendent G. H. Bristol, of
the Santa Fe. The other officers are
B. H. Nudge vice-president and treas
N. Parker, manager. The object of
the officials of the roads in perfecting
the OrganiZa ION was to induce the
men in their employ to save money
and build homes. The men are allow
ed to pay into the organization as
much as they please each month until
they have paid enough to purchase a
lot or two. The association will then
build house for them on the lot and
the owner continues paying for the
house in exactly the same manner
that he paid for the lots, or just as he
would pay rent In this way the organ
izers of the association argue that a
man who is able to pay rent is able
to buy his home; in buying his home
he becomes a permanent, responsible
and better citizen, and, therefore, a
better employe.
After working on this plan for thir-
ty-six months the association was re-
ceiving as the savings of the men of
the different roads r1nning into Pueb-
10 $75,791. In January of the present
year $78,S29 was received; in Febru
ary $84,870, and in March $87,985. Be-
fore the association was formed prac.
tically none Of this money was being
saved, the men working on without
anything aside from a living; they are
now saving close to 100000 month
The association lends it's money to the
men at ten per cent and pays seven
per cent on deposits, thereby securing
a surplus of three per cent with which
the expenses of the association are
paid. There is only one salaried Off
cial and he is Manager Parker, who
handles all the details of the arrange
ment. Mr.. Parker states that not one
Of the board of directors or the other
officers of the association has ever re-
ceived more than SIS month for his
services, the object being not to make
money for the men at the head of the
concern, but to encourage the EN-
ployes of the roads to save their mon
ey, build homes, and thereby enter the
ranks of the bette1%class of citizens
the responsible, interested class.

HANDICAP AT
EXCELSIOR
Twelve Speedy Thoroughbred
Horses Entered for the Big
Race Near New York City.
THE PURSE IS $1,000
Sidney Pagot's 0rmondes Right, Winner
Of the Carter Handicap, is the
Favorite ..0ther Horses to Be
Well Backed.

New York, April 25.-The thorough
bred racing shifts today from the
Acuueduct to the Jamaica track where
the Excelsior Handicap, worth about
$1,000, will be run. The Excelsior dis
tance is one and one-sixteenth miles.
This is it's first long race of the year
in which first class horses compete
and with bright, mild weather and a
fast track a big crowd and swift con-
test is expected. Twelve horses are
entered. If all start there will likely
be considerable crowding because OF
the short stretches on the Jamaica
course. This may upset the calcula-
tions and interfere with the true rum
ming race. Sidney Pagot's Ormondes
Right, winner of the Carter handicap
has continued to train we'll but has
not raced since the opening day at
Acqueduct. He is the favorite in early
betting. e. E. Smither's Rapid Water,
Alexander Shields st. Valentine and
Crown Prince and Santa Catalina rep
resenting the Albemarle stables, are
all nicely weighted and in view OF the
good form they have shown in the
races since Ormondes Right won the
Carter handicap, will be well backed
in consequence. William Lakelands
little EN-, which finished third in the
Carter, is also known to favor dis
tance ground. Altogether seven OF the
dozen named to 60 have won races re-
Gently, leaving betters something Of
problem as to the outcome. Prob
able starters are Ormondes Right, St
Valentine, Rapid Water, Sinister. San

st. Petersburg, April 25.-"My will
regarding the convocation of repre-

making every effort for it's speedy re-

Emperor Nicholas, receiving in auHf
ence Sunday the marshal of the nobil
ity of Kostrome, government of middle
Russia, directed that the above mes
sage be communicated to the nobility
of Kostrome. The message was evi-
IDENTIFY designed to be published in or
der to quiet the fears of those who are
impatient at the delays and who have
grown skeptical of the fulfillment of
the promises contained in the imperial
rescripts. 1t is very significant that
the Emperor used the words 'convo
cation Of representative people, thus
going beyond the expressions en-
ployed in the rescript and setting at
rest all. doubt as to his meaning.
Novoe Vremya halls this new assur-
ance WIN much satisfaction saying,
"These words spread over Russia like
a great consolation. They tranquilize
the warnings of all classes of society
even where hope was being crushed by
impatience and under the influence of
the ridicule heaped from certain quar-
ters on Russian representation and
where it was ironically predicted that
representatives had never been con-
voked."
