IN THE SERVICE

New York, Oct. 29.-Antonio Musica,
who, with his son Philip, has been on
trial IN the United States circuit court
here, was today found not guilty on the
charge against the pair of alleged
frauds in obtaining underweights on
cheese importations.
Philip Musica, who yesterday pleaded
guilty 10 n of the cunts In the in
dictment, was remanded to the Tombs
for sentence.
Young Musica on the witness stand
testified that his father was in poor
health and had not been am active hand
IN the business for several years.
In remarks following the verdict
Judge Holt criticised the announced de-
cision of he government to retain in
the customs service the weighers who
during h trial had confessed TO frauds
10y which they and the Musicas profit
ed. Judge Holt said:
Before finally disposing of this case,
1 have something to say in regard to
rhe three government witnesses. the
three weighers who turned states evil
dence, In return for which the govern
ment not only promised them immu-
nifty, but also retention of their posi-
lions.
Il never before In all my experiences
heard OF the practice of continuing in
the government service men who have
confessed TO frauds In that service.
Il wish to express my strong disap-
proval or continuing such men In the
service. / say II is a dis
credit TO the government to do so. 7
say further that 10 is wrong to compei
onest men TO act in the OF
rlen who have confessed 10 such
rsluds.

The Antiquity of Dice.
From Harper's Weekly.

from HarperS WeeKly.
Scholars have delved in vain for the
origin of dice, which, in various shapes.
have been used in forms of worship
and religious ceremonies since the dawn
of history. Their earlier use was for
the ~forecasting OF events and obtaining
of divine guidance; their adaptation 10
a game of chance was, comparatively,
quite recent.
There is a surprising number of varie-
ties of dice. but they may be divided
into two general classes. The most
familiar form is the cube. With two
exceptions-the Korean and Etrusean-
cubical dice have the spots so arranged
that the six and one, five and two, and
three and four are opposite, making
the sum of the opposite sides invariably
seven In all ages the number seven
has been regarded with particular awe
and as having much mystic import.
The dice just described are not only
proper to modern Europe and America,
but TO classical Greece and Rome, an
cient Syria, Persia. India, China, Japan,
Siam. The other form is the long
square prism sometimes found amid
prehistoric ruins in Europe and exist
ing today in India.
a most interesting form is the top or
spinning dice with four or six sides.
which was twirled with the thumb and
econd finger, of which a specimen was
discovered in the remains of Naucratis,
a Greek colony of 600 B. c.. Two speci-
mems of dice have been discovered at
Babylon.

Colonel John recognized the weakness

Colonel John had confronted danger
