to draw the tubes from the wheels.
4 robust negro turned the cranks mix

thoroughly. Then one of the blind
boys drew tube from the big wheel.
4 man selected by the commissioners
for the purpose extracted the rolled
slip from the tube. held it up before
the audience and announced the mum

boy drew a tube from the prize
wheel" and the announcer called out
the sum called for by this slip. This
prize, then, was drawn by the number
drawn from the other wheel at the
same time. The drawing required hours
and usually was largely attended.
SO thoroughly were advertised the
features provided for the insuring of
an honest drawing that the public soon
became convinced that there was no
chance for jugglery, and so long as the
company existed the buyers of tickets
purchased in the utmost confidence
that if they did not win it was not
because of unfair drawings

of this tight-the charges of bribery
and other observation-disclosures still
fresh in the minds of many. 1t was at
this time that the company came into
malolor throughout the nation When
the smoke cleared away it was found
that the "anti-lottery' party had won.
The finish Of this fight compelled the
Louisiana company to find a new base
OF operation. Experienced lottery men
declare that Mexico would have been
the logical location. for there lottery
was looked upon rs legitimate. and the
government accepted from the lottery
companies tax on gross receipts. But
Honduras, instead of Mexico, was
chosen. This was fifteen years ago,
since which time the concern has been
known as the Honduras National Lot
terry.
Its legal residence abroad, however,
did not change the fact that most OF
its sales were in the United States.
The enactment of the Federal law
prohibiting the transmission Of lottery
matter through the mails was a severe
blow 70 the business, but not as serious
as was supposed at the time, as the

The profits of the Louisiana lottery

can be Appropriated from known fig
ures. For instance, the largest months
business ever done by the company
was the last month before the removal

taken in by the lottery. 1t is probable
that the profits from the lottery have
not been less than $25 100000. all told.
The plan of operation called for the
distribution each month of 30 per cent
of all money taken in for prizes.
Agents commissions averaged 20 per
cent. administrative and miscellaneous
expenses averaged per cent, which
left 20 per cent of net profit. The
gross income of the company figured
Oh this basis must, then. have been at
least $125,000O0O during its life.
