I San Antonio, Texas, Jan; 6.—As a re-
sult of the prosecution of the lottery
cases in this city, the Little Mexican
lottery has ceased to exist and the
original franchise of the Big Mexican
lottery or the "Beneficiencia Publica"
haso been revoked by the Mexican
government. This action on the part
of the government of Mexico is ex-
pected to cause that lottery to go out
of business in a very short time.
Under the new franchise granted to
the Big Mexican lottery it is prohibited,
by the Mexican government from at-
tempting to do business in the United
States. As 90 per cent of the business
of the company came from this coun-

New York. Jan. 5-Lyman J. Gage,
former secretary of the treasury, said
today that ho agrees with Jacob H.
Schiff in the opinion that a great panic
is inevitable unless steps are taken to
remedy the existing currency system.
“I agree positively with Mr. Schiff.”
said Mr. Gage, "that the monetary con-
ditions which have existed in this
country during the last sixty days
are disgraceful to us as a nation, and
further agree with him that a stun-
ning panic is but a matter of time
unless something is done. The more
promptly and effectually this is done
the better Dor the United States. In
my opinion there is no immediate dan-
ger, but the danger itself is apparent,
and if the country* sits passive under
existing conditions the country will
suffer. I do not understand how any
careful and thoughtful financier can
fail to realize the peril.
"I see that Mr. Schiff objects to
Secretary Shaw’s recommendation of
an emergency circulation on heavily
taxed bank notes, holding that such a
plan would facilitate speculation rather
than* the legitimate Interests which
stand in need at present. I may say
that I believe Secretary Shaw's plan
an excellent one, with certain modifica-
tions.”
He further said:
"I regard it as the highest public
duty to provide a more elastic cur-
rency without a moment's, delay, and
I believe the work of securing proper
legislation to relieve the present cir-
cuiation conditions is a public duty
of the president—a • very high public
duty.”

officers are a little more free now in
talking of tnn results of the raids -in
this city and tell many interesting
stories.
Home of the genuine tickets of the
Big Mexican lottery were found when
the raids in this city were made. Some
of them were for the drawing which
would have taken place during the fol-
lowing month and which were already
on sale.
The prize Hat of the Big Mexican lot-
tery was also captured. While check-
ing over the unsold tickets captured
in order to relieve the agents of liabili-
ties, the ticket bearing the number
which entitled the holder to the entire
capital prize, $60,000, was found in one
of the packages. If thia had been sold
in Han Antonio It would have brought
some one that amount.
However, the postomice Inspectors
sav that the ticket would never have
been sold and had been switched Into
Texas to relieve the Big Mexican lot-
tery of’the necessity of paying the
prize to its Mexican patrons.
In the batch of unsold tickets cap-
tured in Denver was one which was
entitled to >2500.
While the raids were in progress in
this city and the federal officers were
in charge of one place, a young man,
who held a ticket which entitled him
to >12.50 came Into cash it, but of
course the ticket was confiscated. Had
he been thirty minutes sooner he
would have been that sum ahead as

A question which was immeasurably
Standard’s business in the west.
During today's hearing there were a
number of lively tilts 'between oppos-
ing lawyers, one resulting in a demand
by the attorneys for the defendant
companies that the testimony be taken
down verbatim in long hand by the
commissioner. Attorney General Had-
ley agreed to this, saying he could
remain at the hearing as long as any-
one else.
This tedious method of recording the
testimony permitted of the examina-
tion of but two witnesses today. One
of these was E. T. Bedford, a director
of the Standard Oil company, who re-
fused to answer any questions In-
volving the Standard Oil company’s

upon the advice of counsel and had no
other reason for doing so. The other

question has no bearing on the issues,”
said Mr. Hagerman.
Attorney General Hadley Insisted on
the queetlon being answered.
Wm. V. Rowe of counsel for the

“I shall not do It unless directed by

Attorney General Hadley had again
instructed the witness to answer and
said that any privilege claimed by the

not by counsel. When the question
was repeated the witness said:
“By advice of counsel I decline to
answer.”

Mr. Hagerman.
Mr. Bedford refused to answer on
advice of counsel.

pany of Indiana for three years.
Have you any personal objection to
disclosing what your business was for

refused to answer.
Do you refuse to answer for the rea-

incriminate you or subject you to Im
mediate prosecution?” asked Mr. Had-
ley.
“I have no other reasons than thost
I have stated,” said Mr. Bedford.
