A CASE AGAINST LITTAuERi
Secretary Root Refers 1t to Attorney.
General Knox
A Demand May Be Made For Return OF
Part or All the Money Paid
on Contract. z

Washington, D. C.-secretary ROOF
made public all the papers relating
to the investigation into the Govern
ment contract for gloves with ID. r.
LYON. This contractor obtained the,
gloves from Littauer Brothers, the
senior member Of the firm, Lucius M
Littauer, being 4 member of Congress.
Secretary Root has referred the case
to the Department Of Justice in olderi
that It may be ascertained If the law
has been violated. and. If so, tlIat aps
propriate measures may be taken In
the premises. 90
General Davis recommends that the
testimony of two witnesses who couid
not be found by Inspector CARING
ton is rather important, and that the
investigation be continued with y
view of getting. their. testimony.
When taken he says it can be referred
to the Department Of Justice with the
other papers in the case. -
Secretary Root in an Endorsement on
the opinion of Judge AdvocaterGen-
cral. which sends the case to the De-
partment of Justice. says:
There appears to be no evidences
that in the manufacture of gloves by
the Messrs. Littauer Brothers, to be
used in filling Government contracts
made by Lyon and others, there was
any violation Of the statute except IN
one case, the contract Of December
z, 1898.
"I think the indications Of an inter.
est by the manufacturing firm IN the
jobbers' contract with the Government
are sufficient to require me to proceed
upon the theory that there is a prtma
facie case Of violation Of the statutel
Three duties are. therefore de-
volved upon the War Department:
First. to put the Department. Of JUS
tice in possession of the facts. In or
der that if that department finds the
law to have been violated it may take
appropriate measures for it's enforce-
ment. Z,
Second, to direct the proper officer
of the department to demand repay
ment of any sum of money Whlch
has been advanced OH the part of the
United States in consideration OF such
contract ~ ,s.ss
Third, to determine whether any
officer who was concerned In the max
ing of the contract was culpabie with
in the true. intent of the law" He
adds: "No influences and no motives
except a; desire to attain the best IN.
