LOTTERIES FOR SWEETS
MUST BE CUT OUT
Conectoners and Druggists Warned That Sales With the
Chance Element Must be Discontinued Under
Heavy Penalty

Candy lotteries which for some time
have been doing IL thriving business
in Richmond and which are now to
be found in many of the largest drug
stores and confectionery stores, are
to be broken UP immediately, ana
those operating them are TO b. dealt
with to the fullest extent of the law
This was the order. of Justice
Crutchfield in police court Monday
morning and acting upon his instruc-
ton Chief of Police Werner declared
that he would see that his men hunt
out every place where such form of
gambling is allowed.
To make a test case and establish
precedent Chief Werner was re-
quested some time ago 10 warn all the
lottery operators in the city that such
games were Illegal and to then arrest
any who refused to comply with the
law.
Police on every beat were instruct
ed to call by the drug stores and
candy stores and notify the proprie-
tors that continued lottery games
would be no longer allowed.

ately closed their lotteries; others

Governor Mann will inform his
whilom gubernatorial opponent. Harry
St George Tucker. on Tuesday that he,
the chief executive. will call no spe-
cial session of the legislature to
amend the election laws SO as TO In
clude primaries. Mr.. Tucker wrote a
lengthy letter to the governor about
ten days ago telling him that II was
imperative that special session be
called.
Governor Mann takes different
view of the situation. He not only
does not believe the same men who
refused to pass bill for the legaliza-
ton of primaries during the general
session last winter would vote any diff
ferent from the way the did then. hut
he believes the law as 1t now stands
sufficient to cover such cases as that

The chief executive has had before
him several days the record in the
Jackson Wise case and will quote from

Two indictments. OF several counts

one in 1909 and the other in 1919.
Fifteen Of the sixteen counts of tht

was tried on certain OF the charges
