nesty law to be presented at the session

In my country at present exists a
perfect public order" said the former
secretary Of public works and instruc-
ton in an interview. Order main
tanned by coercive force has been es-
sential to save Cuba from chaos but
" the stability of a nation can be
accomplished only by the spiritual
union of its citizens. I understand
this to be the supreme aim of the
men who ct the present moment
guide the destiny Of Cuba, and with a
view to this. end q complete amnesty,
politically and socially, should be
granted"

plauded the amnesty forecast by

ball Statistical Bureau OF Birming-.
ham, Ala, and Atlanta, Ga, on the
charge Of operating an endless chain"
lottery, 1t was said that since the bars
were put up a week ago, the depart
ment has been bombarded with COM
plants from participants who are
firmly convinced they are being de-
prived Of = chance to get a lot for q
little.
The scheme, one OF about so along
the same line that have showed up in
the past few months. is a variation of
the 10-cent chain letter craze that
swept the country several years ago to
give postal authorities . headache.
The operator kept in the background.
allowing q manager" to act as
front"
William c. O'Brien, attorney in
charge Of the fraud section at the de-
partment, reported that 1t was gross
ing about $4,000 weekly with the pro-
moter netting between $700 and $500.
F1amboyant advertising invited DO
tential investors to play ball" Play
ing entailed purchase OF q card de-
pdcting a baseball diamond, with the
names Of four other players between
the bases. A new player would send
dollar to the man nearest home and
hke amount to the contest operators.
He then would get four cards that put
him on base, and If he had good luck,
by the time he got home" he would
collect maximum OF $256, as these
f1rst four cards brought other players
in.
This was described as making a
home run" and four were good for
500, while the five players making
the highest total by October Is each
were to get an automobile. Later, this
was set up to December IS, making 1t
little tougher for the participants.
An expert witness. brought in while
the case was being heard in the Post
once solicitors office, figured that If
the game extended to IL groups. or
series, it would involve 352.25s.536
players, or almost three times as many
persons as there are in the United

and boroughs of England and Wales.
However, Labor apparently strength
ened its grip on London municipal
councils. Returns from Is of the %
boroughs showed that Labor had won
"a seats and lost none at the expense
of the Municipal Reform party and in
dependents.
The final standing of the parties in
127 of the largest cities and towns, ex-
cluding London, was:
Conservatives gained control of IS
council seats; lost control in 80.
Liberals grained three; lost 20.
Labor gained 54 lost 10.
Independents gained 80: lost 23.
Laborites said the returns were not
disheartening, since they had the larg-
est number of seats to defend. One
third OF the municipal councillors retire
annually; those elected today will serve
until 1910.
