outside. and were connected by shafts.
by which the air circulated under the

such a system as an enervating luxury,

only $3.50 directly or indirectly, as
candidate for governor is followed by
the statement that the testimony
shows a much larger sum TO have
been paid him for this purpose.

ARRESTED FOR
HAVING LOTTERY
Police Claim They Have Goods on
Chicago Man-E'Orgot About
the Prizes?

After a two months search, local
detectives Monday night claim they
succeeded in getting the goods" on
one John Hogan, alleged to be con-
nected with the United States Dia-

which is charged with conducting a
fraudulent diamond lottery and
having succeeded in ensnaring be-
tween 200 and 800 victims. The only
alleged victim announced is James
DAILY, a barber on y. Main st.
Hogan has been shadOwed for some
time, but until last night not enough
evidence was on hand TO warrant an
arrest. 1t is said Daily, the local man,
lost about $50 with the company.
When asked about the matter Mon
day night, DAILY refused 10 discuss
the affair and would not say how
much money he had lost in the ven
ture.
The United Diamond Importing
Co" appears to be a "club" affair. To
secure membership a fee Of % cents
TO rs cents per week is necessary. At
the end Of each week a lottery" is
supposed to be conducted at Chicago.
Those drawing numbers in either the
25 cent, so cent or 70 cent clubs were
supposed to get a sparkler of 100
times the value.
If a member was in a % cent club
he had a S25 diamond ring coming to
him and so on up. But if he did not
draw a lucky number he got nothing
until, so the club members are told,
he paid in $25; then he would get a
$25 ring If he wanted 10 pay longer
he could get a $50 or a SIS diamond.
At this point, ii appears. the fraud
comes in AS near as can be learned
many have paid in sums from $50 up
but have received no ring. Daily is
said to have paid in $50. but evident
ly has not yet received any ring.
Whether anybody ever drew a ring at

question.
