NATION’S LOTTERY GIVES POWER TO GUBANPRESIDENT Appointments as Collectors Form Machine to Aid f Machado. Editor’s Note: J’or more than two months protests from Cubans have been lodged with representatives of the Araercan labor movement and the Pan-Amer-ican labor movement. They have come from workers and from men holding high positions in Cuba intimations of a serious situation have appeared over a period of several months, in leading Spanish language newspapers outside of Cuba. Finally. Chester M. Wright. English language secretary of the Pan-American Federation of Labor, formerly on the personal staff f Samuel Gompers and a Tabor writer of long standing, went to Cuba to investigate. He has returned with an amazing story of terrorism, assassination. imprisonment and exilt. His findings, following a report to President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, are presented in a series of articles, of which this is the sixth. By Chester M. Wright English language Secretary, Pan-Ameri-can Federation of Labor. > WASHINGTON, March S.—Havana Is gambling mad and back of this is a story that has much to do with the Cuban government and the foundation of the dictatorship of President Machado. Havana gambles in the beautiful Casino where, at the usual roulette and other classical games of chance, Americans join in pouring money over the tables. Havana gambles at the races in an atmosphere that justifies the old assertion that racing is the sport of kings. But Havana and all Cuba, so far as the masses are concerned, gambles most of all in the national lottery. It is the lottery which gives President Machado perhaps liis firmest hold on the Cuban congress. Purpose Threatened The Cuban lottery, as intended in the original lottery law, approved by the United States, was intended to assist needy war veterans who were 10 benefit as the sellers of the tickets and was intended also to replenish the Cuban treasury at a time when money was much needed* The first of these purposes seems to have gone into the discard. It was intended that the vendor should receive a commission of $2 per ticket and that the heroes of the revolution would thus be kept from begging or suffering. The street or retail sale of tickets is no longer lim-

SHE IS RELIEVED \ OF STOMACH AND KIDNEY TROUBLE Local Lady Tells How Konjola Ended Sharp, Terrific. Back Pains and Indigestion.

and new life energy to so many men and women that it is the most talked about l-emedy before the public today. , Konjola has been publicly indorsed by over 500 people in this section alone. One of the latest reports, strongly praising this medicine, came from Mrs. E. Roembke, 640 Woodlawn Ave., Indianapolis. “Konjola gave me the first perfect relief that I ever had from stomach and kidney trouble,” said Mrs. Roembke, "and I am free of indigestion and the terrible sharp pains I used to have in my back. “My kidneys gave me the most trouble. My back was so sore and stiff all the time that it hurt me to move Ground. I was frequently disturbed during the night. This broke up my rest and I would be so achy all over the next morning that I could hardly get out of bed. My stomach was in bad condition, and almost every bite of food I seemed to ferment, and caused the gas to bloat me up so that I could hardly breathe. My heart seemed to beat so fast it felt like it was jumping out of place. “After suffering with these troubles several years I found out about Konjola and heard what this medicine was doing for people who suffered. I began- taking it, and followed directions just like I was told. I felt a great change in my condition the first few days, and so I continued with Konjola and was surprised how rapidly I was being helped. Now I don’t have a single spell of indigestion, and the food I eat agrees with me. I don’t have the trouble with my heart, and my • ppetite is something to. boast about. My kidneys are in perfect condition, and I rest so well at night thht 1 feel fine in the mornings. Those sharp pains in my back are entirely gone, and I don’t suffer any of the miseries like I used to. “Konjola has given me new health all over, and I can certainly indorse such a medicine.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold jhy all Hook drug stores in this city Vnd other druggists throughout this lection.—Advertisement.

ited and apparently very few veterans are selling tickets. Under the first law 29,000 tickets were to be sold at s2l each, of which the government was to get sl9. With three drawings a month, the government revenue would be $1,653,000, while the veterans or their dependents would get $174,000 monthly. There has been a change in the law' and the price to the consumer has been raised until now tickets go as high as S3O, though the average is lower. Here is how the lottery furnishes political power: The agency for the sale of lottery tickets is in the hands of the president himself. The allotments of tickets to vendors are known as collecturias, each of these agencies being worth a market price of about S3OO per month. There are 2,000 collecturias and the president may parcel them out as he likes. They are in reality regarded somewhat as offices. Collecturias are allotted to Representatives and Senators, members of the lower house getting five each, while the Senators have ten. Some members —very few —indeed, I am told —decline their collecturias. On the other hand, the president may withhold the collecturias from any member who incurs his disfavor. How Profits Mount With a collecturia worth about S3OO, each House member derives roughly $1,500 per month from that source, while Senators get double that amount. For the Representatives the yearly figure is about SIB,OOO, with $36,000 for the Senator —added to salaries and other possible prequisites. That, Cubans aver, is why the Cuban president has such complete control over Congress. It is, perhaps, the reason President. Machado was able to put through In January his bill creating for himself practically complete dictatorial powers. The Representatives and Senators do not actually sell lottery tickets. Their collecturias are sold to professional agencies that take care of selling the tickets. The official merely draws his money. Collecturias to the number of 1,000 remain to be disposed of by the President as he sees fit. That many newspaper editors and writers are assigned from one to five collecturias per month'is commonly understood in Cuba. One journalist of eminent position and repute declared to me bluntly, “The whole thing is a disgrace.” LOWE SERVICES HELD Funeral services for Forest Lowe, 30, of 620 N.

‘Friend' Takes Boy Traveler to Police An apple-cheeked boy, 9, who lives near Ben Davis, started out to see the world Monday. To a passing motorist who offered a ride, the enthusiastic young traveler confided his intentions. It was a false move. The motorist kept driving until he reached police station. “Why, it’s him again,’’ an officer commented and took the would-be traveler to the Detention Home, where the boy landed on one of his world-seeing attempts last month. "Dear me,” commented the matron. “This is the third time he has tried to run away.” “Oh, no,” objected the boy vehemently. “Well, how many times, then?” the matron asked, thinking she was doing him an injustice. “Oh, lots more times than that,” said the child.
