collect $3.50 on the corresponding
number registered in Fletcher's
name.
Fletcher's number, 6344, was drawn,
but his acceptance of the prize was
prevented when a group of persons
rushed the stage and disclosed the
duplication of ticket stubs by pull
ing handouts from the barrel.
Orders Bank Nights" Ended
Meanwhile, advised by Prosecutor
Herbert M. Spencer that bank
nights are lotteries and hence IL
legal, Chief Morrissey issued or
ders that all theaters are to dis
continue them at once.
The police order resulted in cur
tailment of the events last night, it
was reported.
Low, according to detectives,
talked with Fletcher in a beer tav-
ern Saturday about ways and means
of obtaining the $3.50 prize accumu-
lation at the Rivoli.
They took samples of the ticket
stubs to a printer, but he refused to
duplicate them, according to Low
The janitor said he turned the
samples over to Fletcher and the
latter appeared at the theater Sun
day with 5000 tickets corresponding
to his registered No. 6344.
Put 5000 Tickets in Barrel
Low, according to his statement
to detectives, admitted Fletcher to
the theater and they dumped the
5000 tickets into the drawing barrel
removing the barrel head with a
screwdriver. He and Fletcher were
to split the prize, detectives said the
janitor admitted.
The drawing Wednesday night was
conducted properly, it was said, the
child who drew the winning num-
Der" plucking No. 1914 because of
the preponderance of that number
on top.
Police credited the printer, who
turned down Low and Fletcher, with
exposing the drawing Withholding
his name, police said he went to
the drawing and when Fletcher was
about to claim the $3.50, rushed to
the stage and scattered the bogus
tickets about.
Fletcher fled and outdistanced a
pursuing usher.
Low is slated on vagrancy charges
on $1,000 bond. Detectives said his
disclosures will mean release of
Raymond Wick, %, of 933 Spruce st,
one of the audience who was ar
rested Wednesday night, and Urban
Anderson, theater manager. They
too had been held for vagrancy.

EMPLOYMENT,
PAY ROLLS GAIN,
PRESIDENT SAYS
Asks Support for Charities
Until Recovery Is
Completed.
BIZ United Prcss

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Present-
Ing a cheerful picture of the New
Deals efforts to lessen the nations
relief load, President Roosevelt to-
day reported that about 5000 900
persons have been re-employed since
he entered the White House March
4, 1893.
The nation, he said, is emerging
happily and rapidly" from the
years Of deep depression" and
even those industries which were
long backward in showing signs of
recovery are putting their best foot
forward"
He declared he has greater con-
f1dence that private industry is be-
ginning to take up the unemploy-
ment slack, and urged the public to
continue contributions to private
charities so that Federal, state and
local governments might be freed
from relief burdens.
Makes Appeal From White House
Mr.. Roosevelt's optimistic report
was containe din brief talk last
night in behalf Of the 1885 mobiliza-
ton for human needs. 1t was de-
livered from the White House just
II hours after he returned to the
capital from three-Weeks sea going
vacation.
The results of the September
employment survey have just come
to me from the Secretary of Labor,
the President said During Sep
TENDER 100000 men and women were
returned to employment in private
industries of the nation, and the
money in weekly pay envelopes of
these industries was $4,000, 600
greater than their weekly pay en-
velopes in the previous month"
He said this had brought the total
unemployment in private industry
since his Inauguration to nearly
5000, 600 p"sons, with a weekly pay
roll incresac of $104,O00,000. En-
ployment in September, he said, was
at the November, 1880, level, and
pay rolls at the May 1881 figure.
Critics Answered by Prediction
Critics of the Administration
$4,000000 900 campaign to find Jobs
for 100000 and end direct relief
were answered by prediction that
the great majority of these peo-
ple' will be at work within a
month" The program, the Presi-
dent declared, is creating bona
fide" jobs.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the full force
and effect" on his vast social secu-
rity program cannot, of course, be-
come operative until several years
have elapsed, nor will this law in
any sense replace the proper and
legitimate fields now covered by
private contributions to private
charities"
Mr.. Roosevelt appealed for sup
port of charitable institutions on a
good neighbor" basis during the
mobilization campaign, but added
that I'VE want to emphasize that
word work
Neither private charity nor gov
eminent relief wants to continue to
help people who can work but who
won't work." he said There is
only one legitimate excuse for I'M
willingness to work and that is bad
health or advanced age"
The President said one of the
principal reasons for greater con-
tributions to charity was your hops
and mine that the necessities OF
government relief furnished by
funds received by taxation should
decrease as rapidly as human needs
will allow"

BALLOTS BEING MAILED OUT IN
 MINE ELECTION
Secret Ballot Is Thus As sured-Continue Trial
 of Arrested Picket

In an effort to guarantee a secret ballot and assure every miner the privilege of voting without molesta- tion, the United States mails were called into service in the mine work CTS poll today as the special election committee began mailing out ballots to every man who was employed by the Alaska Juneau mine at the time of the walkout.
 Due to picketing of the Federal and Territorial building and report Of some of the workers that they had been threatened, the committee headed by Collector of Gu st m s James J. Connors, Chairman, decided to hold the election by mail thus as- surfing every one the right of secret ballot and at the same time avoiding any possible trouble.
 Explains Voting
 In announcing that the ballots were all being mailed out today, the committee explained that any one who would find it impossible to vote Thursday could simply sign the slip, mark the ballot and mail it to Chairman Connors.
 Every name will be kept absolute ly secret" MT. Connors said. No one but the three members of the com mittee will know the names. They will not be available to officials of the mine nor to officers of the mine workers union. We feel that this should be fair election to determine just how many of the men want to return to work and how many do not. There can be no molestation of the United States mails and in that way every one of the men can express their wish secretly as the right of any American voter
 All votes must be in the mail by Thursday night, the committee an- nounced
 Few Tickets
 A few pickets continued to walk around the Federal and Territorial Building today but there was no out ward demonstration of any kind. John Elvenar, who was arrested yes- terday in connection with picketing on charge that he had threatened another miner who was going to cast an absentee ballot, came up for hear ing before City Magistrate A. w. Henning this afternoon and the case was continued until 10 o'clock next Monday morning on motion of Sena- tor Henry Roden, defense attorney.
 Magistrate Henning in granting the continuance cautioned Elyenar as well as witnesses in the case to avoid further disputes. Elvenar is at liberty on his personal recognizance.
 Neither President Al Nygren nor Secretary Neil Heard of the Alaska Mine Workers Union could be reached for statements today, al- though repeated attempts were made to question them.

 When George arrived with G-men and the doors of the airplane flew open, agents sprang out and closed around the boy who was escorted to the house.
 George wore sweater, knee trous- CTS and skull cap.
