LOTTERY PRINT
SHOP IN STATE
One is Discovered at New cumbcr-
land by Officers and Numerous
Arrests Are Expected.

Pittsburg, Pa, May S-Postofhce
Inspectors Williams, Lucas and
craighead have unearthed, it is said,
the printing establishment where al
legged lottery tickets have been turn
ed out by the wholesal for distribu-
tion throughout New York, Pennsyl-
vania. Ohio and West Virginia.
Following the arrest of Samuel
COnkle at Chester, w. Va, recently,
for using the mails to defraud the
inspectors concentrated their efforts
in West Virginia, in an endeavor to
locate the printing establishment.
Wednesday night. it is said, they
were rewarded by discovering the
place at New Cumberland, W. Va.
The inspectors learned at the ex-
press ofice at New Cumberland that
a certain printing house had shipped,
it is alleged, numerous packages to
cOnkle, and when the son of the
man owning the printing house was
called on to make an amdavit that
none Of the printing had been done
there, It is said he refused to do SO.
However. the young man is said to
have given information which led to
the finding Of a number of cuts and
two plates for printing tinted paper.
Among the cuts was one Of the Uutra
Rio Grande Lottery Company, con-
cern of which the inspectors had
heard nothing before. The cut was
for circulars advertising drawing
Of $4,000 by the company. IN ad-
dition to the arrest OF conkIe, two
other men have been taken into Gus
tody here.
According to the United States au-
thorities. numerous other arrests
win be made in connection with the
case.

was greatly alarmed Tuesday night
over the fact that the feed wires OF
the Nevada California Power company
were down and that the company
was unable to find the break or de-
termine the cause Of It, The break
occurred at o'clock Tuesday after
noon. Gen. Funston has cancelled MS
order for berths for himself and stan
on the train and he will remain In
Goldfeld indefinitely. The mills are
dark and armed guards are patrolling
the ground around the principal shafts
and mills. Gen. Funston and Gov,
Sparks we're in consultation early In
the evening and shortly after Col.
Reynolds left for the camp Of the fed
eral troops and all soldiers on the
streets were gathered up and taken
into camp. AS near as can be learned
the break In the wires Is near Pal
metto, a mining camp about 81 miles
southwest Of Goldheld. The power,
which is brought to Goldneld is de-
veloped near Bishop, in Inyo county,
California, about so miles away. For
the past I've weeks the power com
pany has had a large force Of men
patrolling the line. which passes over
the highest portion Of the Sierra
Blanca range. A telephone line ex-
tends the entire length Of the power
line and this also Is down, 80 that
communication with those patrolling
the power line Is impossible. An ef.
fort was made to induce Gen. Funston
10 patrol the city and the vicinity OF
the mines with troops Tuesday night
but he has not yet issued such an
order.

naval games with mechanical toys
have been common amusement at
court, the empress taking a lively
part in these. His brother monarch,
the German emperor, at every oppor-
tunity has encouraged Nicholas in his
ambition.
The financial committee Of the coun-
Gil Of the empire which fortnight
ago addressed similar demand to the
minister Of marine as that made Tues
day, received the reply:
III this demand is persisted in, both
the douma and the council Of the en-
pire will be dispersed"
1t is asserted on competent author
ity that the naval programme Is
linked with the survival Of the douma,
as the emperor will not brook a re-
fusal Of appropriations.
