LOTTERY
Scheme Worked On COlOred
People In Central Ohio

According to the Columbus Dispatch
a colored man mas been working the
colored people of Central Ohio with a
get-rich-qMick scheme of a lottery ma.
ture. The Dispatch says:
with mingling of indignation and
regret, colored resident Of the East
Side, Tuesday morning related to De-
tective CASTOR how she felt after pay
ing $l.5O for "sure thing" chance in
lottery conducted by the Brown In
vestment Co., fictitious organization.
"All this followed the arrest Mon
day night by Detective CASTOR, OF
Henry Bowers, aged Al, colored, 11O
East Spring street, for investigation
II is asserted by the police that all
over Ohio, in Xenia, Springfield, Gin
cinnati and other places where the
negro population is large, Brown has
been working scheme almost RI
diculous in its daring and in the case
with which he duped the more ignor
ant colored people.
HE would say that he represented
a lottery company, but couldn't give
out printed blanks with numbers, as
lotteries are against the law. He
would solicit one for perhaps dollar
and then. before going next door
would mark this sum up to perhaps
ten or fifteen dollars and then in ar
attempt to get a dollar or two woult
show the prospect" that her neighbo
had paid out quite large sum. HI
always had inside information" HI
would say and would place the am
cunt which was sure to be won q
from $500 to $4,000 Detective Gastol
said that after the mans arrest tina
the more ignorant colored people o
Columbus had been victimized to tn
number Of dozens and that the man
receipts showed money received fron
colored people in many towns"

New York, Oct. 3--Outward and Wis.,
lille signs that the import trade of the
United States is rapidly picking up
have been abundant about the custom
house in this city during the week just
closed. Imports from Japan are ap-
parently increasing, favored by war
conditions; England's imports, while
not up to the normal, continue extern
sive; some German goods are coming
into New York; France is sending
across the seas some of her products;
Switzerland, after a month of inactiy-
ity, has resumed expectations, and
Holland, Norway and Sweden are
sending considerable quantities of
goods to America.
The labor situation in European
countries at war, difficulties of financ-
ing commercial propositions and the
difficulties of land transportation are
the greatest factors against foreign
commerce at the present time. None
of the nations involved is denied the
use of the seas by war circumstances,
in the opinion of those best acquainted
with the situation.
Germany is shipping her products in
Dutch bottoms out of ROTTERDAM and
other ports of Holland. The Dutch
vessels are great immigrant carriers
and have not carried heavy cargoes
in times of peace. This space is now
available for German goods if the
German merchants place them in
Dutch territory for transshipment to
the United States.
In the German room of the New
York custom-house are to be seen
great packages of glove leather, dyes,
chemicals and cases of crockery.
These have been brought in in Dutch
vessels. 1t is expected that soon this
avenue of trade will be more and more
utilized by the German producers and
merchants.
Switzerland has just begun again to
ChPOiL CllIDl EOl iIiOl U IMAM
a month not single importation had
previously been received from this
source. France maintains a much
smaller part of her trade with the
United States than is normal, but
there is confidence that her imports
will increase steadily.
Great Britain keeps sending in her
products of every variety. The british
room at the custom-house is crowded
with wares. The customs men, how
ever, say that it will be some time be-
fore the quantity approaches normal.
The greatest surprise is to be found
in the Japanese room. the New York
, customs house is receiving regularly
large quantities of Japanese goods in
bond shipped via the Pacific, through
Vancouver and SanFrancisco, and con-
signed to New York dealers. Ship
ments almost as large are coming also
by way of Europe, transshipped at
| Southampton, England. While the in
crease in Japanese imports is not es-
timable, it is recognized by the Gus
! toms experts as marked.
! A good sign is the great number OF
/ triplicate invoices being received from
consuls abroad, representing imports
in transit These triplicate invoices,
/ required by customs regulations, as
ually arrive ten days or week ahead
of the shipments, That they have in
creased is a positive sign that the i'm
i ports OF the near future will be in.

THE IMPORT TRADE
PICKING UP RAPIDLY

Dutch ships usually carry only a
quarter of the cargo that their cargo
space would allow. They are conf
dent that this space will be utilized
for the shipment of products of Ger
many. Looking over the shipping in
New York harbor at the present time
it is found to be the expert opinion
that there is no shortage in cargo
space to carry the normal volume OF
imports. OF course, it is recognized
that the apportionment of shipping
would not meet the normal require
ments, but there is belief that i'm.
ports can find a means OF transporta.
tion to the United States from every
country.
The customs experts hazard no sta.
tistical conjectures, qualifying their
optimism with the knowledge that
there is; no basis but experience to in
dicate the trend of things, and that ex.
perience is not wise under existing
conditions. Nevertheless, it seems
to be the concensus Of opinion that
the outlook for the import trade is
steadily growing brighter and that
there is undoubtedly enough shipping
plying the seas to American ports to
carry the normal imports of the Unit.
ed States.
Warehouse Withdrawals, which have
represented large part of customs re.
ceipts since the beginning Of the war,
are now beginning to fall off. Resump.
tion of imports, it is expected, soon
| will compensate in large measure for
this falling off in receipts from ey-
haustion of warehouse supplies.
