The charge that counterfeit 

 Counterfeit tickets in Cuba's national 

 Lottery lottery were being printed 

 Tickets thrice monthly and sold in 

 Porto Rico and other coun- 

 tries was made in the Cuban Congress on 

 May Sth, when photographs were shown of 

 supposedly legitimate tickets found in Porto 

 Rico. It was asserted that the fraud netted 

 the perpetrators $600,000 monthly. 



The discovery of the fraud caused a 

 sensation in all circles. The Government 

 became cognizant of them on May 7th and 

 searched various places where the tickets 

 were thought to be concealed. President 

 Menocal immediately called the Director 

 and principal officials of the Lottery Bureau 

 and Secretarv of Government Hevia to a 



conference, at which Representative Ferrara 

 said that so many public employees were 

 involved in the frauds that Congress, regard- 

 less of political affihations, should investigate 

 them and turn over to the courts all the 

 evidence obtainable. 



It is said that these tickets have been 

 extensively sold in Key West, Tampa and 

 other Florida towns. 



No arrests have been made, as the authori- 

 ties have been unable to fix the blame. 



The Chief of the Secret Police reports that 

 the duplicate tickets were used by persons 

 conducting a private lottery throughout the 

 West Indies and paying prized on drawings 

 made in the Cuban Lottery, but only paying 

 $40,000 as the first prize, instead of $100,000, 

 the amount of the Cuban capital prize.
