THREE CHINAMEN ARRESTED
Postoflcc inspectors Believe They
Have Unenrthed nm Imme nsc
Lottery Scheme.

Washington, July 2-Charged with US
ing the United States mail for lottery
purposes. proprietors Of three Chinese
shops were arrested tonight The raid
on the places was made by Postofflce In
spectors Keene and Barclay, assisted by
about a dozen members Of the local de-
tective and police force In each OF the
places a larEe amount Of gambling para
phernnlia was found.
What ordinarily would have been a
merely local episode gains Importance
from the fact that the raid represented
an effort OF the postofice department to
reach the center Of a widely ramifying
Chinese lottery system and gains interest
from the recent murder Of Elsie Sigel In
New York which has drawn the eyes OF
the world to the usually obscure doin9s
OF Cinnamon In the United 4tates. II
was expected that the raid would be aim-
ultaneous with similar activities in other
cities. 1t was planned with the utmost
secrecy. and followed many days of care
ful detective work on the part Of post
Office inspectors.
Almost in the shadow OF the"dome OF
tho national capitol, with hawk-l like
.wiftness the inspectors swooped down
