SAYS NO LOTTERY TICKETS
ARE SOLD ON PACIFIC COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4.-Charles
O. Backus, one of the men arrested in
New York with lottery tickets in his
possession, is believed to have been one
of the four men implicated or convicted
in connection with similar crimes COM
mitted here about three years ago.
Harry N. Moffitt, in charge of the
United States secret service bureau in
San Francisco, stated today that the
Mexican National Lottery company and
another organization operated under
the name of the Panama Lottery COM
pany. maintained offices for a consider
able period.
At that time simultaneous raids were
made by secret service men in a dozen
cities of the west and south, and scores
of lottery men were captured. Nearly
a dozen convictions were secured in
this city, and it is believed that sew
eral of the men found guilty were resi-
dents or travelling agents of the Mexi-
can concern. The office here had been
successfully occupied by men operating
under different firm names. Two men
known as the Morris Bros, and an
other, identified in the records as Abe
Korskie, were among those convicted.
Postoffice Inspector James O'Connell
expressed a belief that the Mexican
National Lottery company's field of ac-
tivity of late did not extend into Pa
cific coast territory.

UNITED COPPER COMPANY
DECEIVES U. S. MARSHALS
Officers Remain at Office All Day to
Summon Directors, but Meeting
Is Held Elsewhere

NEW YORK June An an effort
to subpoena directors of the New Unit
ed Copper company, which Augustus
Heinze practically elected Wednesday,
squad of United States marshals
were kept at the office of the company
nearly all day, it being understood
there was to be a meeting. Late in
the afternoon it was learned the direc-
tors had met elsewhere.
Other developments included the APP
pearance of Stanford Robncon, form
err director, before the grand jury in
order to clear himself of contempt of
court with which he was threatened
for refusing to reveal the whereabouts
of the missing books, the basis of all
the present trouble. When Robinson
came from the grand jury it was under
stood he had purged himself and Dis
trict Attorney Wise expressed conf
dence he soon would have the books.
With the books in the hands of the
federal authorities the inquiry into
the affairs of the Mercantile National
bank, which failed In the panic of 1907,
will begin and the transactions of f.
Augustus Heinze will be investigated.

BOARDS OF HEALTH
DISCUSS DISEASES
LEPROSY' AND TUBERCULOSIS
ARE CONSIDERED
Pollution of Streams Also Forms One
of Principal Themes-Necessity
of Leprosarium Being Es-
tablished Shown

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Leprosy,
tuberculosis and the pollution of
streams formed the principal themes
today at the conference of state and
provincial boards of health of North
America
With regard to leprosy Dr. w. c.
Woodward of the District of Columbia,
chairman of the committee on ma
tional leprosarium, reported no progress
had been made toward the establish
ment of such an institution.
The absurdity of the federal govern
ment arresting lepers for violating in
terstate quarantine laws and regula-
tions, only to return them to their
home states without having any prac-
ticable method of compelling them TO
remain there, and the impossibility of
the federal government restraining
lepers without having a suitable place
in which to care for them, all pointed,
he said, to the absolute necessity OF
a national leprosarium.
DR.. ]. N. Hurley declared that in 1903
there were sixty registered lepers in
Louisiana, but that it was generally
known that there were at least 15O
lepers in the state.
Taking up tuberculosis, DR.. John r.
Foster said it was one for the munich
palities rather than for the state. He
advocated education for the public
with regard to the milk supply.
Regarding the pollution of streams
the committee appointed to consider the
subject recommended that as the fed
eral government had no control over
the matter many of the most difficult
problems might be settled by the
states,

MINISTER WI TING FANG
Diplomat Says Americans Work
Harder at Play Than Chinese
When Latter Labor

NEW YORK, June 4.-"You Amerl-
cans work harder when you play than
we do in China when we are really
working" said WI Ting Fang, the Chi
nese minister. Lolling comfortably in
an armchair in his apartment just be-
fore starting for the steamer on which
he sailed for Panama yesterday, WI
Ting Fang seemed to enjoy the calm
after the turbulence of an evening at
Coney island.
81 had never been to Coney island
before last night" he said gravely. I'm
no place in the world that 1 have ever
been is there anything like it. In Chi
cago they have what they call their
amusement parks, but it is not on as
large a scale as Coney island"
What would the Chinese people
think of Coney island if it were sud
denly set down there?"
China would not be prepared for
Coney island now" he conceded diplo-
matically.

LEAPS FROM TRAIN;
His BRAIN CLEARED
SHOCK RESTORES REASON OF
DEMENTED MAN
Jumps from Rapidly Moving Car While
Being Taken to San Bernardino
for Treatment of Self-In-
ficted Wounds


SAN BERNARDINO, June ARTHUR
l.. Barr, unbalanced from brooding over
his illness, while being brought to this
city for treatment for slashes on his
wrists inflicted in fit of dependency,
leaped through the window of the Santa
Fe overland at an early hour this morn
ing, a short distance from Barstow, re-
ceiving a blow on the head which 1t
is be lieved has cleared his mind.
Deputy Sheriff George Acuna of
Needles had charge of the man, and at
Barstow Sheriff Ralphs, District Attor-
ney Bryne and Detective Arbols
boarded the train. Acuna, after the
train started, left his seat to shake
hands with the county officials, who
were seated a short distance to the
rear of the prisoner. He had no sooner
shaken hands with the sheriff than
Barr arose, and before he could be
stopped leaped through the window.
The train was moving at a rapid rate
when the demented man made his
headlong dive through the window, and
after being stopped was backed up to
the point where Barr lay at the foot Of
an embankment. His only injury was
a severe cut in the head inflicted by his
contact with the jagged rocks.
Barr was again placed on the train
and Immediately, for the first time
since leaving Needles, began to talk
nationally. -.
At Barstow, at the sight of the sheriff
and the other members of the party, he
imagined he was suspected of having a
hand in the killing of the little Poltera
girl at Los Angeles, and for this reason
attempted to escape.

lucky Northern railroad, was shot yes
terday at Beattyville by Edward Riley,

Too Many Laborers-The
supply of common labor in the isthmian
canal zone is more than the demand.
although some recruiting has been nee
essary since the first of the year be-
cause of the indisposition of idle men
to accept work at the established rate
