SECRET SERVICE AGENTS
RAID A LOTTERY JOINT
Arrests Are Made in the Headquarters
of the Panama Company on
Market Street

Secret Service Agents Hazen, Moff1tt
and Foster raided the headquarters of
the Panama Lottery Company at 916
Market street, last evening and arrested
A. G. karski and Henry Morris. two of
the promoters. The detectives secured
a large quantity of evidence and the
men will be held to answer for having
sent lottery tickets from one State into
another. The company is comparatively
unknown in the city, although 1t has
been in operation for some time. Agents
sold tickets throughout the country
and largely in the Middle States.
The Office which was raided was sup
posed to be the office of real estate
men. The secret service men required
but two days TO locate it and in a back
room were found stacks of tickets, a
number of which were done up in pack
ages and ready for shipment The COM
pany sent out circulars soliciting
agents and received its mail under
many names, all of which was calculat-
ed to mislead the postal authorities in
the event of any investigation. The
express service was utilized in the
transportation of tickets.
