The Treasury Department is still strug gling to prevent the sale of lottery tick ets in tho United States. The law passed by Congress prevented tho use of tho United States mails in distributing them, and then the lottery people went to Mexico and sought under the custom law to import them into this country as reading matter at a light duty. Assist ant Secretary Spaulding put a stop to this by assessing duty on tho face valuo of the tickets, the duty being placed at $2.50 on a ten-dollar ticket. This was thought to bo a final stoppage on their importation. The lottery people, fertile in resource, have had the tickets printed jn the United States, exported into Mex ico and reimported into the United oiaies, una now eiium mat tney aro ex empt from duty us American manufact ure returned without being advanced in value or improved in condition. Assist ant Secretary Spaulding, however, lias instructed Colleciora of Customs along tho Mexican border to assume Unit all lottery tickets entered are of foreign manufacture and to assess duty accord ingly.
