MILLION TICKETS SOLD Drawing Is Big Event in Pekin and Throngs Attend Question la Whether Security Is as Sound as It Looks. , BT OSCAR KING DAVIS. (Copyright, 1915, by the Chicago Tribune. Published by arrangement.) ' - PEKIN, April 25. This was the day lrhen the Chinese government grave the Chinese people an official lesson in saving: money. On the face of the matter some of the people have a chance to win hand BOmely none of them need lose more ,'than the use ot 10 for three years 'and the government is sure to have the use -of anywhere from $10,000,000 !lo $30,000,000 over a considerable period of time at a moderate rate of interest. The plan adopted-by the Chinese gov ernment for giving thie salutary les on to the Chinese people would be called a lottery if it were not that its official name is the "Issue of Deposit Keeeipts (Premium Bonds) of the Sin Hua Savings Bank." . Chinese officials, who. do not lack fckill in drawing fine distinctions, dif ferentiate pleasingly between lotteries and the drawings of premium bonds of the Sin llua Savings Bank. Draninis la Slioir In Itself. . But whatever it was this was the day when the drawing took place, and by the count of the Pekin police 260, 000 persons, not to mention horses, ponies, mules, donkeys, burros, dogs, birds, rickshas, wheelbarrows, automo biles. Pekln carts, bicycles and every other kind of wheeled vehicle known to Chinese ingenuity surged into the grounds of the temple of agriculture to see the show and learn at the earliest possible moment the numbers of the winning tickets and who held them. It was some show in fact, it was jseveral shows all in one. The lottery itself was one show, and a good one. There were all kinds of side shows, bazaars and that sort of thing, and the enormous crowd was the best show of all. ; There was room enough for many thousands more than went to the show, but in true Chinese fashion everybody had to go through a small gate to get Into the grounds, although there was no admission fe, and long before noon, and during all the rest of the day, it was a two hours' job or more to get .in or out. About a third of a mile west of the Vatc a special pavilion had been erected for the drawing of the lots. On each -llank. and facing it, another pavilion .was erected for the specially favored -sightseers. ; Million Tickets Are Soyi. But it was an extremely orderly and rood-natured crowd, and the throng of pickpockets and sneak thieves who '.might be expected in such a crowd in the United States waa not in evidence. I The show .had been advertised to .begin at 8 o'clock in the morning. There b a big Job to be handled. One million tickets had been sold, each for S10. Each ticket was divisible into ten .s-ections. and the great majority of them had been divided and sold in :parts to two or more speculators or, rather, savers of their money. '. The tickets had been on sale all over China since January, and the entire -Issue was taken. A good-sized block liad been sold here In Pekin. and of -ourse everyone who had a ticket or a Jart of one was anxious to be on hand to see the drawing. Consequently the crowd began to ar rive long before 8 o'clock, and by the ;litne the preliminaries had all been c ompleted there were 15,000 or 20,000 "rooiiee and poorer people standing in ;iront ot the main pavilion, and the .side pavilions were well filled. - In the main pavilion ten great cop per globes, each about five feet in diameter, had been set up In iron Irames. Back of -each globe, on a tall rack strung with wires, there hung .3 00.000 small wooden balls, each bear ing a number. These ten racks con tained the million balls that were num bered consecutively to represent the .tickets which had been cold. Government Cuarantees Payment. The lottery being Hacked by the gov ernment, which guarantees the pay jnent of the prizes and the repayment f the purchase price of non-winning tickets, the drawing was officially su perintended by two censors from the administrative court, a representative of the Ministry of Finance and two members of the Pekin Chamber of . -Commerce. "When they arrived in the main pavil ion shortly before 8 o'clock they first inspected the racks holding the million .balls hearing the ticket numbers. As -ach rack was found to be correct the wires holding the balls were cut and the balls dropped into a big wire bas ket, from which they were poured through a huge funnel into one of the big copper globes. . To each globe there waa affixed a .pout, operated by a valve so that the .numbered balls could be withdrawn one at a time. Four husky policemen, in .gorgeous full dress uniform, turned the -ranks of the big globes and gave the wooden pills inside a fine shaking up. Then, when each globe had received itg hundred thousand wooden pills and -all had been thoroughly shaken up, everything -v-as ready for the drawing to begin. The first prize was tlOO.000, China being on the silver basis, that means .Mexican dollars, worth something less than halt as much as Uncle Sam's big iron bones. The second prize was $40 00(1; third. 130,000; fourth. $20,000 and fifth. $10,000. Then there were two sixth prises of JSOOO each: six seventh pr j of $2600 Mch; SO eighth prizes of .1000 each; 60 jiintli prizes of $500 each; 30O tenth prize, of $250 each; 600 11th prizes of 5100 each, and 1000 12th prizes of $50 each. Prizen Ajgrfsati rT,l.9 1 0. . Besides, there were 9D9 prizes of $40 each for numbers having their three terminal figures similar to those of the ticket winning the first prize, and r similar number of terminal prizes on the second and third grand prizes. Al together there were-6000 prizes aggre gating $559,910. It waa a fairly good eized lottery. But no, it wasn't a lottery at all,be cause if a ticket holder did not win a prize this year he will have another "chance next year, when there will be another drawing. And if he dorsn'i win a prize then he will have still an- I tftner chance at a third drawing in 1917. , , And if he doesn't win then he may return his ticket to the Sin Hua Sav ings Bank at any time during that year and get back the $10 that be paid for H originally.

Varying reports of rallies and lapses continue to come from the bedside of the stricken King of Greece. He has several times been reported at the verge of death within the past week. In European circles here news of the King's health Is anxiously awaited because of the effect his death would probably have, on the political sit uation. The King is regarded as favoring strict neutrality. His wife. Queen Sophia, Is a sister of the Kaiser. holder can lose for taking -Is chance in this government savings scheme is the interest on his money for three years. The theory back of the government scheme is that if the speculator did not invest his ten in this kind of a scheme he would blow it In on some form of gambling or other amusement or squander it in some way that would be of no benefit to Kim or his country. In the prospectus of the lottery is sued by the bank this phase of the matter is discussed with engaging frankness. It is to be remembered that the prospectus never speaks of the affair as a lottery. In fact, it dis tinctly disclaims running a lottery, and refers always either to "deposit re ceipts" or to "premium- bonds," or sometimes to "deposit premium bonds." What is the object of issuing them? Read this from the prospectus: "It is to encourage our countrymen to cultivate the savin.rs habit. Money can be saved as this habit is gradually acquired. In the absence of such a habit money will be unconsciously squandered. The Issue if deposit pre mium bonds surely affords the best attraction and opportunity to the would-be money saver. Great Hope Cherished (economically. "Those who have enough money may purchase one or more of such bonds, while the poorer eiass'may purchase one division or more of a bond. The price is low and can be paid with ease. ."Great hop may be cherished at a little expense. If a person fails Irk the drawing he may get back the principal after the lapse of three years. There is no better method of saving money than this." Differentiating this scheme from a lottery the prospectus says: "The object of issuing lottery tickets is to obtain benent for the party .who Issues them, because, after deductTng the money paid for prizes, he will re ceive a large surplus. Those who win prizes will at once become rich, while those who lose will . not be able to regain the money Invested. Therefore such operations may be placed under the category of gambling. "The proceeds thus obtained are illegal acquisitions, and the enterprise Is considered by society as immoral. So in most civilized countries the sale of such tickets has .been prohibited. "This is not the case with the deposit premium bonds. The party who issues them will apply all the Interest accruing from the proceeds to the giving of pre miums, reserving nothing for himself. The purchasing party who wins a prize will be enriched, and if ho loses he will get back the principal he invested. Hence this is not gambling." That gives the official government explanation. There are certain cynics in Pekin who say of this explanation: "Good, but not enough." Government Notoriously Impecunfoaa. The Chinese government is notorious ly hard up. With its creditors in Europe Industriously engaged in cut ting each other's throats no further borrowings are at present possible from that source. The ancient "squeeze" which accounts for some 80 per cent of the revenues before they reach the na tional treasury is an institution that even so strong a man as Yuan Shal Kai has not yet been able to reduce ma terially. The fantastically variegated currency system of the country based on four or Ave kinds of an imaginary coin; the equally variegated systems of taxa tion and of weights and measures, all combine to make the problem of gov ernment revenue one of uurprassing difficulty. Moreover the average Chinaman has no use for a savings bank. He hoards his hard earned cash and coppers either in ornaments and trinkets that he can sell without much loss or emergency, or In silver that he can hide away and be reasonably sure of finding when it Is needed. Or he may lend It to his neighbor at Interest running all the way to 40 per cent or more. They tell tales here of fabulous usury. More likely than not, however, if he gets a few dollars ahead he goes on a bust and squanders it. LIQUOR SUPPLY REGULATED British Board Newly Created Has Wide Powers of Control. . IyONDON, June 12. The Gazette has issued the text of the order-in-council creating and. defining the powers of the "central control of liquor traffic board." to consist of a chairman and such other persons as the Minister of Munitions may appoint to control the sale and the supply of intoxicating liquors within prescribed areas. The board has wide powers to regu late' the hours of sale and even to pro hibit entirely the sale of liquor and otherwise accomplish Us ends. The liquor board also Is empowered to pre vent the practicing of treating where It sees fit. A novel provision Is that the board may take over saloons in areas where munitions "of war are manufactured, or without licenses dispense liquor under its supervision in factories engaged in Government work. Under this plan in toxicating beverages in moderate amounts would be assured to the work era. . SKILL IS REQUIRED British Munition Problem Is One of Competent Workmen. DETAILS ARE IMPORTANT Army Kngincer Says People Do Not Grasp JUiTficulties to lie Sur mountedWilful lelay Is Another Matter. LONDON. May 20 (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Soma details of the shortage of the supply of war munitions are given in a statement by Major-General Desmond O'Callaghan, who has been engaged in engineering work for the War Oftjoe since the be ginning of hostilities. He says: "Though the general aspect of short age of munitions is within the grasp of the man in the street, the separate difficulties of supply- which combine to bring about that shortage are not gen erally so well understood. Setting aside guns and rifles and confining the survey strictly to the supply of ammunition, small-arm or rifle and machine-gun cartridges come first for consideration. In the manufacture of this class of ammunition machinery plays a consid erable part, and a large amount of skilled labor Is not required. There are many sources which can be drawn on for its supply, and a shortage of small- arm ammunition is, thereforenot great ly to be feared. Shells Require Skilled Labor. "Next come shells for guns and howitzers. Theso- have to be cast or forged, the preparation of the steel and its subsequent treatment demanding skilled labor of a high order and pro cesses that cannot be hurried. Good gauge work with screw-cutting lathes Is required, and the number of factories and foundries that can undertake such work is limited. "Each shell is furnished with a fuse, and fuses are delicate pieces of mechan ism which can be produced only in fac tories specially equipped for this work. Contracts for these cannot be put out to firms which have recently so readily taken up the making of spare parts for motors, aeroplanes and warship equip ment. "Cordite and high explosives obvi ously range themselves under the same category. There is no dearth of the raw material, but the sources of supply of explosives are few and the processes .Involved in their production are not susceptible of being hurried. Future Heats With Workmen. "As to willful delay In actual manu facture, it is harder to speak. In a country where universal service is the law, this cause of shortage presumably does not exist. It is difficult to picture a German workman sitting with folded arms in front of a motionless machine at the bidding of his trade union. Being under martial law, he would either be shot in the factory yard or sent to the forefront of the battle.. "We have no such hold over our workmen, and until they awake to- the naked truth that we are lighting for our very existence and that their apathy Is endangering their own skins, it would appear that we shall not have over come this risk of the shortage of am munition. "- POTASSIUM BED WORKED COM PA XV HAS l,5OO,00O TO I'SB DISTRICT IN EAR VALE, Van t lis. After Hearing Description of Kltrate, Make Discovery In Cares IS ear Home. VALE, Or., June 12. (Special.) It is evident that the discovery of a large bed of potassium nitrate about 35 miles south of Vale Is Important. Early last Fall an old prospector re ceived shelter at the home of George D. Huntley, near Rocky Ford, on the Owy hee River, some 15 miles from Napton, on the Nyssa-Homedale branch of the Oregon Short Line Railroad. He de scribed nitrate of potash to the boys, and they remembered a cave near their home which was coated with some sub stance resembling that described by the prospector. They proceeded to the cave and, building a fire, threw some of the material into the blaze with the result that the stuff sparkled and scintilated much as would powder sprinkled over fire. The result of this discovery was the bringing the matter to the notice of Henry Wilson, who had an analysis made which showed a large percentage of potassium nitrate. Mr. Wilson Immediately negotiated for the" Huntley place and also for a number of locations which had been made by a number of Ontario citizens, and proceeded to Chicago with a large number of samples. v Upon this showing and further Inves tigation a South Dakota company, called the American Nitrate Company, has been organised with a capital of $1,500, 000. Six hundred thousand of the capi tal stock has been offered Easterrf in vestors at par for the purpose of in stalling solution vats and precipitating tanks, as well as to provide transporta tion to the railroad, 12 miles away. , A crew is at work on the property and shipments are expected to begin in 60 days. 1 It is expected that the Malheur coun try will be the scene of great develop ment and of Incalculable benefit. - DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT, PORTLAND.

Attorneys for Condemned Fac tory Superintendent Rely on Record in Case. NEGRO DECLARED GUILTY Governor Promises Exhaustive In vestigation Opponents of Com mutation Protest Against 'Outside Interference." . ATLANTA, Ga.. Juno 12. Arguments In suDoort of the application of Leo M. Frank, the pencil factory superintendent accused of the murder of a gin em ploye, were made today before Governor Slaton. The Governor listened also to opponents of commutation. He said he would make a painstaking personal in vestigation and would visit the factory to view the scene of the murder before he decided the case. The hearing was adjourned unexpect edly at 1 o'clock to give .Solicitor Dorsey opportunity to present a written unci, in- opposition. V. M. Howard, on behalf of Frank, said the prisoner would rely on the evi dence In the record. Negro Conley Is Accused. N "We expect to convince you by what Is contained in the records." he said, "that Frank Is -innocent. I shall show by the record that Frank logically could not have had a part in Mary Phagan's murder. . I shall also undertake to show that the negro, James Conley, first robbed, then assaulted, and finally mur nered the girl." In reply to a question by Governor Slaton. Mr. Howard said he was willing to accept the testimony of the state chemist, Dr. R. Harris, and other state witnesses as to the violence committed against the Phagan girl prior to the murder. The attorney argued at length on this testimony. "Where do you say Mary Phagan was killed?" the Governor asked. "I think the blow was struck on the first floor of the pencil factory as she came down the steps from the second floor," replied Mr. Howard. "Then, being stunned, I think .she was taken to the basement where she was further assaulted and the acTflal murder accomplished. The record, how ever, is rather blank as to how ehe got Into the basement." "Excepting the testimony of. Conley." suggested the Governor. "Oh, if we are to accept Conley's story as true, we have no case" here whatever," replied the lawyer. "Outside Interference" Opposed. . At the close of Mr. Howard's ad dress, speakers' from the Marietta dele gation, in charge of ex-Governor Brown, argued against Frank's appeal. These included Solicitor Clay, of Cobb County, and M. M. Sessions. Sessions read resolutions protesting against "outside interference with -the courts of law of Georgia" recently adopted by a mass meeting at Marietta. Mr. Brown presented the closing, ar gument for his delegation. Speaking of the late Judge Roan's letter, he said that nowhere in the letter did the jurist say he believed Frank was innocent, but that he only expressed a doubt as to his guilt. "I want to say," he con tinued, "that the word mercy cannot be found in the Constitution of Geor gia. Nowhere is it found In the Bible where it interferes with justice." Mr. Brown, in his concluding argu ment, said : "Georgia has one law for all men Christian and Hebrew alike1 and all men must obey it. Tour excellency. If you wish to invoke lynch law to weaken if not destroy trial by jury In this state you can lo it by reversing ail the courts' decision In this case." LANE URGED -ON WILSON (Tallfomlan Starts Move Tor Appoint ment of Bryan's Successor. SAN FRANCISCO. June 12 (Spe cial.) J. B. San ford, Democratic Na tional committeeman for California and Registrar of the United States Land Oflice, has communicated with nearly every National committeeman west of the Mississippi River, urging them to try to prevail on President Wilson to appoint Franklin K. Lane to succeed W. J. Bryan as Secretary of State. Answers received by Mr. Sanford in dicate that nearly all the National com mitteemen In the West favor Mr. Lane for the important post. Mr. Sanford has also sent a strong formal letter to President Wilson call ing his attention to Mr. Lane's fitness for the position. EXERCISE AND , GRECIAN BEAUTY WHAT IT MEANS Many thousands of women are now a-days paying attention to physical culture and the proper exercise of their body muscles, where, thirty years ago or fifty years ago there was no thought expended on this science, which is quite necessary to physical beauty. The reason the Greeks, both men and w.pmen, excelled in beautiful and sym metrical forms was because of the at tention they paid to the proper exer cise. Then, too, they were untram meled by corsets, shoes and the in conveniences ot clothing. To the minds of some women the idea of physical exercise conveys only the idea of hard fatiguing work. Mild exercise con tinued day after day is best for the body and spirits and health. Without proper exercise there can be no health and without health there can.be no real beauty.
