evidence circulars sent out by the firm soliciting
the party addressed TO place money with the firm
upon future horse races. and says, in part:
If the horse upon which the wager is placed does
in the the money remains the abSo-
lutte property OF the company. If the horse runs
and loses the money becomes the absolute property
of the company Whether the remitter obtains a
return is dependent, first. upon the horse upon
which the wager is placed participating in the race
and second, whether he wins the wagered position
The determination of these questions Is entirely
outside of the control of either the remiter of the
money or the company. This constitutes violation
of the lottery provisions of the postal statutes for

4 distinct disappointment to the gen

that no such result will follow the
publication of the facts developed in
the oil investigation.
In both Investigations the commits
sioner acted under imperative man
date of a joint resolution of congress
but in the beef case the bureau was
under the disadvantage of being in the
first stage of its own installation and
organization as a department of the
public service. Many of the errors and
failures inevitable under the circum-
stances have been corrected in the oil
inquiry, and though the details of its
success are not yet publicly available.
the statement is made on high author
ity that the basis of n case of amaz-
ing commercial wrong and wholesale
violation of law has been made out
against the greatest trust octopus of
the age.
1t is known that i'll the investigation
of the oil. as of the beef trust, infor-

officials and agents of the various cor
porations. as the joint resolution and
the law contemplated. Accordingly. it
would seem that the Humphrey deci-

and punishment of at least many of

offenders.
