Lotteries Termed

NEW YORK, March 13.-Lot-
teries under the guise of "sweep-
stakes" and treasure hunts" are
potentially a more sinister and
far-reaching racket than any this
country has suffered from to date,
William HodSon, commissioner OF
public welfare, declared yester'
day at a meeting of the League
for Political Education at Town

He predicted that the Crooks

would soon be exploiting the lot
terry to an extent that would make
the prohibition bootleg racket and
the charity racket "pale into in

after the massacre. He spoke
with the Indians and he listened
to the older officers fight the bat
tie over night after night.
General SCOTS conclusion was
that the orders of the Secretary
of Interior, commanding the In
dians to report to agencies under
the threat of force, was the cause
of the trouble. It was an order
which General Scott found to be
unjust and illegal.

to be found in their country, but

had no right to be there.
The Indians, General Scott
says, would have gone along with
Custer if he had sought a parley
But Custer did not know this. He
attacked only because he believed
the Indians had discovered his
presence. If he had not attacked
they would have gotten away on
their horses from General Terry's
infantry, and Custer would have
been held responsible.
Custer and every man in his five
troops of cavalry fell at Little Big
Horn. That any other officer
might have saved the day is idle
conjecture.
Custer had to decide quickly
when it appeared the Sioux knew
of the existence of his force near
their encampment. His decision
was that to attack them was the
only means of preventing their
getting away. This he did.

FREIGHTER TRAVEL

Scarcely a day passes that this
department does not receive let
terS requesting information about
tramp tripS-those fascinating
voyages aboard freighterS, once
known only to the few but now
becoming widely popular.
It wasn't so long ago that some
one who knew someone who was
related to the director Of a cargo
line manager to get his friend &C
commodationS aboard a freighter
bound for perhaps South Amer
lea or a journey around the world.
The passenger often vent with
misgivingS, but usually came back
a real enthusiast, vowing he never
would travel on any other type of
ship.
Now there are travel agencies
designed solely to handle freighter
bookings. Over two thousand
such bookings were handled last
year and this year the number is
expected to surpaSs that figure.
NOTED PASSENGERS
Passengers are drawn from every
stratum of society. Noel Coward,
the playwright, is a confirmed
freighter cruise enthusiast and
Lady Geddes, wife of the former
British ambassador to the United
States, can tell you all about the
relative merits of freighters ply
ing between ports of the West
Indies. Doctors and lawyers, with
plenty of studying to do, are good
customers for these trips and
honeymoon couples are often
found aboard.
Some freighters have splendid
accommodations while others stick
to simplicity, but all offer com,
fort, good fellowship, and usually
good food. If you want to take

to the House each election until
he moved to the Senate, January
20, 1918.
His victory in the primary prac'
tically assures him six more years
in the Senate which will bring his
record up to 40 years of unbroken
service.
Friends of the Texan, who has
been first in the ranks OF prohlol
tion. attribute his success to his
personal contact with his conStltu
ents. 1t is said that when Senator
Sheppard answers a letter he al
ways includes sentence such as
"GIad your thoroughbred won
the blue ribbon in the county
fair" or:
"HOw is your Cousin Agatha'S

OF course his stand on prohibi
ton has made him a national fig
ure and as such he has come IN
for a great deal of kidding and
criticism. His colleagues in the
Senate, however, have always held
him in greatest respect.

it is best to check up on the ship,
the accommodations, the food and
the company. If you have friend
who has travelled on the vessel,
have him take you down and in
troduce you.
If you book through an agency,
you will surely do we'll, especially
if you are novice at this type Of
travel. Maybe your agent will
book you on trim, new motor
ship, or aboard a giant freighter
with a directors cabin or an own
er's cabin which you may use.
Then you will be berthed in ac-
commodations equal to those
found on a yacht.
SPACIOUS CABINS
Whatever the cabin, it will be
spacious and it will be amidships.
1t will most likely have running
water and there may even be a
bath and shower. No two boats
are alike, even those running in
the same service and that's one OF
the charms of this type of travel.
Public rooms may even be part Of
the ships design, but true addict

crew, spending the hours in the
officers salon, lounging in the
smoking room and listening to the
radio If you are a cheerful sort
of person, the chances are the Of
ficers will see you have a good
time, with special privileges ashore
and that sort of thing.
Going ashore from a freighter
is one of the charms of this type
of travel for there are no crowds
of shrieking peddlerS or grimy
boys when a freighter docks. One
of the ships company accompanies
passengers to see there is no cheat
ing on land. Usually an agent
of the company fixes the rate for

stories about modest politicians.
