nathy, Charles Eckerle and the other
present officials will be retained. So lit
tie is heard of the races, that they are
causing little argument
The race for the police commission is
another in which there is little interest.
This is probably due to the fact that the
number of entries is so large, and also
to the additional fact that it is not posi-
tive that the commission win remain In
existence. Dave Wurtzburger has en-

his opportunities, while the remaining
eight are occasionally seen in public F.
B. Yielding, T. F. Parker and F. 1. Tar

There is developing considerable inter-

considerable gossip is INDUCED in.
Chief Wier plans a coup on his oppo-

OUT OF BUSINESS

ry Result Prosecutions
HONDURAS QUITS COUNTRY
Throws Up the Sponge After Various
Suts-Indictmen Pile Up One
After Another-Offshoo of
New Orleans Lottery.

Chicago, February S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says.
Apparently the government has won an
extraordinary victory as a result of the
precautions it has instituted against the
managers and agents of the Honduras
lottery.
Suits have been brought in various
places throughout the country, one in
dictment has been piled upon another,
and things have been made so hot for
the lottery people that they have thown
up the sponge and have gone out of bus
mess. At least they assert that this is
so. but to make assurance doubly sure,
the government proposes to press some
of the indictments to a speedy trial in
the hope of breaking up the entire ma
chinery of one of the most dangerous
concerns ever known in this country.
For many years the general public has
understood that the selling of lottery
tickets in this country was stamped out
by the decision of the United States SUI
preme court, which prevented the New
Orleans lottery making use of the mails
to send tickets or prizes Recently, how
ever, an offshoot of the old New orleans
lottery, generally known as the Honduras
lottery company, has established itself
in this country, and has succeeded in
doing an enormous business, the extent
of which was suspected by no outsider
until government investigators began
their inquiry.
In the department justice began to
move rapidly, and within the last week
or two agents of the lottery company
have been negotiating for a compromise
promising they viii get ost of business
at once and completely. If prosecutions
are dropped. The government officers
thus far have not been disposed to make
much of a compromise, but have been
insisting upon fines in various cases
which would aggregate not less than $780,
100000. This severe penalty staggered even
the plutocratic lottery company, but 1t
Is understood agents all over have re-
ceived notice that there will be no more
drawings for the present at least.

story, Senator Hemenway asked:
"Have you told all you know regarding

Mccurdy insisted that he had told all
