HELD TO Be LOTTERY
Rolling Ball Scheme for Print
erS' tuberculosis Fund.
JUDGE MULLOWNY'S RULING
Declares That the Court Must De.
eide on Facts Presented and
Cannot Discriminate.
JUDGE MULLOWNY'S RULING
OOOOCCCOCoQ

The first prosecution in the District
of Columbia for alleged gambling or
lottery schemes used for the purpose
Of raising funds for charitable pur-
poses took place before Judge Mullow
ny in the Police Court today upon the
arraignment of Phinney l. Craft, con-
nected with Columbia Typographical
Unions carnival show on the site OF
the old Baltimore and Ohio railroad
passenger station. Craft was charged
with setting UP gaming device by
which, out of the sale of fifteen num-
bers, the holder OF one. determined by
the rolling of a ball, was entitled to a
pound box of candy.
With each of the numbers sold was in
cluded a package of chewing gum The
funds of the carnival are TO be applied
to the typographical unions tuberculosis
fund.
Contention of the Defense.
1t was contended on behalf of the de-
PENDANT that the government did not and
could not show that the offense alleged
came within the provisions of the section
of the code defining lottery for the reason
that the profits and gains derived were
not for private purposes, but for charity.
and that while, technically, an offense
had been shown within the letter of the
law vet such cases did not come within
the spirit of the law.
Judge Mullowney's Ruling.
Judge Mollowny held that the facts
showed a lottery within the wording Of
the statute, and that the defendant was
therefore guilty of that offense. Judge
Mullowny stated that he was not con-
cerned with the policy that may dictate
the action of the government In discrimi-
mating in cases where the object is worthy
and In cases where the object is UNI
worthy, and that when a case is brought
before him he must decide upon 1t as pre-
scented.
An exception was taken to the action
of the court. and notice given of defend
ants intention TO apply 10 the court of
appeals for a writ of error.

WHOLE COUNTRY AFFECTED
Step Taken as Offset to Heavier
Operating Expenses.
CHARGES FOR WOOL ADVANCE
Cost of Transportation From Min
neapolis to New York Greater
by Nearly 20 Per Cent.

Railroad freight rates throughout the
country will be materially increased by
tariffs filed with the interstate commerce
commission today by western trunk lines.
The rates changed primarily affect points
on and between the Missouri river and
Mississippi river transfers, and proper
tionately will increase the rates from
those points to Atlantic and Pacific sea
board terminals.
This is the first step taken by the rail-
roads which appears to indicate a pur-
pose generally to increase freight rates
throughout the country in order to enable
them to meet their increased operating
expenses.
Already tariffs have been filed for west
ern roads increasing the rate for the
Transportation of wool from Minneapolis
and st. Paul to New York and other At
lantic seaboard points. The present rate
on wool from Minneapolis to New York Is
81 cents per hundred pounds. Under the
provisions of the new tariff che rate will
be "a cents a hundred pounds. an in
crease of nearly 20 per cent. The rate
to Boston will be proportionately higher.
Increase in Rate on Live Hogs.
An increase also has been made in tine
freight rate on live hogs between Mime
apolis and ST. Paul and Chicago OF IN
cents a hundred pounds. This Is an in
crease of about II per cent over the
present rate. While no tariffs yet have
been filed with the commission increasing
the rate on meat products from Chicago
to eastern territory, the likelihood ap-
pears to be that, taking the st. Paul.
Chicago rate on hogs as basis, the
rate on hog products from Chicago to
eastern points will be increased proper
tionately.
The tariffs already filed with the COM
mission are for all the roads in weste IN
freight association territory and the
increase will become effective simulta-
neously on all of them.
