TAFT MINT JULEP
COCKTAILS RIVAL

Richmond, Va, Jan. S.-A committee
representing the Virginia Bar association
which was in Washington yesterday for
the purpose OF extending an invitation TO
Secretary OF War William II. Taft to ad-
dress the association at Virginia Hot
Springs in the summer, suggested TO the
secretary as an inducement for him to
come TO Virginia that he would be treated
TO real old Virginia mint juleps, rather
than Fairbanks cocktails. which remark
brought a response from President Roose-
welt. who also greeted the delegaoon. that
the Virginia julep. In his opinion. is far
more succulent and much less dangerous
to presidential aspirations tha nthe but
termilk concoction inaugurated by the
vice president.
Now there is rumpus in Virginia
among the prohibltionists and connols-
seurs. The prohibitonists are inclined to
the opinion that the bringing OF the ques-
tion OF intoxicating beverages into the
question OF presidential possibility Is in
bad taste. The consensus OF opinion
however. seems to be that the president
and secretary are men OF discriminating
tastes.
Members OF the Invitation committee
say that while Taft will be unable TO state
his plans positively in regard TO the invl-
tation until the latter part OF the week
the chances are that the julep inducement
will be sufficient inducement for him TO
arrange his dates 80 as TO be at the

NEW WORKERS
ARE GULLEO BY
FAKE LOTTERIES

New York, Jan. s.-Folowing an inves-
tigation by several inspectors. which has
lasted several weeks. w. S. Mayer, chief
post office Inspector OF the New York
district. declared yesterday that large
proportion Of the lottery tickets being
sold on the upper and lower East Side
were forgeries and that thousands of poor
people were being swindled each week by
fake concerns, which paid a small prize
here and there each week 10 keep up in
terest In their enterprise. While some
tickts from the big lotteries In Germany
and South America found their way into
the country through the mails or by ex-
press each week. the inspectors said they
were confident that their number was
small compared with that OF the fictitious
tickets.
1t Is known that one or two of the
larger German lotteries have agents who
make monthly trips TO America and
smuggle in large quantities OF tickets
Several hundred persons make a fat liv-
ing acting as agents for various lottery
concerns.
Two Bohemian girls employed in a cigar
recently announced that they had won
$4,000 on a 60-cent ticket They gave
up their places. divided their furniture
among their fellow employees and have
gone back to Bohemia. Since then lottery
agents have been doing a thriving busi-
ness among the employees of East Side
cigar factories.
There was a lot of excitement in the
neighborhood of 67th street and Second
avenue yesterday when a poor washer
woman announced that she had won $500
on the first ticket she had ever bought
In lottery. With the majority OF the
lottery ticket buyers, however the story
Is of another kind. One woman whose
