Officials Won't Talk.

Philadelphia. July 2.-Quartermaster
James Marshall declines to give any in
formation about the Littauer-Lyons
government contract for gloves without
the authority of the secretary of war.
Lyons has declared in New York city
and elsewhere that he talked with Rep
resentative Littauer in Philadelphia on
a number of occasions and especially
the night before bid was put in for
10000 pairs of buckskin gauntlets at
S1.5412. and that the price and figures
were always supplied by Representa-
tive Littauer in all government con-
tracts.
Lyons, it is said, would advise with
Littauer from time to time, when gov
eminent contracts were to be let, and
they would figure on the price. Lyons
would ascertain when bids were to be
advertised, it is affirmed, and Littauer
would then buy all the deerskins he
could SO that he controlled the market
and nobody else could bid with safety.

Lyons declared that thru him the firm
