Washington, June 18. The Postof
fice DeDartment. which In 1896 took a
hand In the efforts of local and state
authorities to put the bucketshops nut
of business, has now an accumulated
batch of information that indicates that the fight is nearly won. These
concerns are being put out of bus!
ness in one way and another this year
very rapidly. Right under the nose of the Depart
roent one audacious individual, Percy Wade, continued business until this
Spring, when his doors were shut by the District authorities and he went
to Jail for 30 days. In a message to Congress by President Roosevelt, he referred to the importance of the bucketshop evil, "The great bulk of business," he said;' "transacted on the exchanges is not only legitimate, but is necessary to the working of our modern industrial system, and extreme care would have to be taken not to interfere with this business in doing away with the bucketshop type of operations." Most of the defaulters and others have been found to have lost their money in bucketshops, although they have used the phrase "lost on the board of trade," being unwilling to be classed as bucketshop patrons. The cashier of a national bank at Aurora, 111., short $60,000, lost his money in a bucketshop in Hammond, Ind., which had been driven out of Chicago, but asserted the money went "on the board of trade." In Cincinnati recently, thirty-four indictments against bucketshops were returned at one time. One of these was against a firm that controlled 170 branches, located in various states, , and reported to have an annual in
come of $2,000,000. Another firm was doing a business estimated at $1,500,-
000 annually, with its wires from Florida to Salt Lake City, and boasted that before the next snow it would have
wires to the Pacific coast Morehead
& Company, a firm with its ramiflca
tion of wires from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast, and Brown & Company
with, offices In Chicago and else
where, and an extended wire service, have been forced to quit. These great
leaders of the fraternity practically controled the entire business of the United States. The fight is now fairly on, and every State in the Union is opening its batteries against these bogus concerns. One of the heaviest blows yet dealt them was that of Governor Folk of Missouri, when he demanded the enforcement of the State law that fixes the penalty of five years in the penitentiary. Recently, during a single
twelve months, seven states, Montana, Nebraska, Minnesota, Connecticut, Missouri and Alabama, passed strin- ' gent prohibitory laws against them. These cpurt decisions, far-raching as they are and 'valuable as they have proven, have In nowise closed the contest; they have only cleared away the rubbish, and exposed the ghouls in the light of their true character. Such decisions cannot drive them from the commercial field, but they have torn off the disguise. When the bucketshop form of thievery is annihilated, as it now seems likely to be, it is claimed that the people of this country will make an annual saving of $200,000,000. .

A slight increase in the population of the State charitable and correctional institutions is shown by the bulletin of the Board of State Charities for the fiscal quarter ending March 31. The total population on October 1, 1907, the beginning of the present fiscal year, was 10,593. Of these 6,378 were males and 4,215 were females. The number enrolled March 31, 1908, at the end of the first quarter of the present fiscal year was 10,867. This number included 6,579 males and 4,288 females. The number of inmates re
ceived during the six months was 1,595 and the number discharged was 1,321. The daily average number of inmates for the six months was 9,996.29. The Receipts and Earnings. The receipts and earnings of the institutions for the six months were $110,302.91, leaving the net total ex

Comparison is not made farther back than 1904. The crowded condition of the insane hospitals has claimed the attention of the State authorities.
