What Attracted Him

A mother took her four-year-old son
to a restaurant for his first luncheon
outside of the nursery at home. He
behaved with perfect propriety, and
watched the elaborate service with
keen interest. When the finger bowls
we're placed on the table, he noticed
the square white mint on the plate
at the side of the bowl, and ex.

War and Life Insurance.

the affairs of big life insurance COM

soldiers will bring heavy losses upon
American life insurance companies.

Manufacturing Co. of Springfield and
it's 134 employees, who went on strike
a month ago, were held to be at fault
by the State Board of Cancellation
and Arbitration in a report made to-
day.
The company violated promise that
it would not change the price for pol
ishing. the board found. The men were
declared to be blameworthy for
striking while a conference was pend
ing; hut the company was held re-
sponsible for the continuance of the
strike and for declining to join in ar
bitration proceedings after the men
had agreed to return to work.
The board recommended that the
striking polishers return to work that
they be taken back under the old con-
ditions, and that the conference which
was interrupted by the strike be re-

Boston, Feb. 3.--A desire to aban-
don the broad allegation that the
United Shoe Machinery Co. intended
to acquire or had acquired monopoly
of all shoe machinery business. was
expressed by counsel for the govern
ment today when the dissolution suit
against the corporation was resumed.
The governments position was defin-
ed by the attorneys in outlining the
amendments which they hope to make
to the original bill of complaint
The government wishes to rely on
the allegation that the monopoly has
been created in the bottoming ma
chimes, by which the sole is attached
to the upper part of the shoe.
The court will announce its decision
on the amendments tomorrow.
Charles f. Choate, counsel for the
defendant, contended that the amend
ment was desired because the gov
ernment felt unable to prove its case.
He said that original charge was that
the defendant had effected monopoly
of the shoe machinery business of the
country. Now 1t was sought to limit

the charge after all the evidence was
in, to a monopoly of certain machines
only. He asked the court for decision
on the original charge as defence
against further prosecution along that
line.
William s. Gregg, special assistant
to the United States attorney general,
said that the government from the
start of the trial had expressly stated
that the proof would be limited to those
machines which were used in fasten-
ing the bottoms to the uppers of shoes.
After the court had decided to take
the matter under advisement, the gov
ernment began to rehut the direct eV!=
dence of the defence. Eighteen wit
nesses were sworn in. Their testimony
will probably occupy the rest of the
week All are machinery manufactur-
ers whose names had been introduced
by the defence to show that the Unit
ed Co. did not control the whole field
of shoe machinery. Under examination
by Mr.. Gregg, it appeared that none
of those who testified manufactured
machines used in fastening the bot
toms to the uppers Of Shoes.

THE L|TTAUER BROS.
PLEAD GUILTY To The
SMUGGLING CHARGES.

New York, Feb. 3.--Lucius N. Lit
tauer, a former Congressman. and
William Littauer, his brother, both of
Gloversville, n. Y. pleaded guilty in
the Federal district court today to con-
spiracy to smuggle jewelry into this
country. Sentence was suspended un-
til tomorrow.
The Littauers, in satisfaction of civil
claims brought against them by the
customs authorities in connection with
the smuggling, paid the government
$4,000. The brothers were indicted on
Jan. 27 on three counts. They were
charged with attempting to evade the
duty on Venetian diamond and pearl
tiara and several other articles of jew
elry valued at $4,000 and intended, 1t
was said, for William Littauer's wife.
Lucius was accused of bringing the
Jewels into the country concealed in
a trunk, and William Of receiving
them.
The courts announcement that it
would postpone sentence until tomor-
row followed pleas by counsel for light
punishment.
L. S. District Attorney Marshall urg-
ed the court to inf1ict the full penalty
of the law.
''The evidence establishes, he said,
that William Littauer bought this
tiara in Venice and that Lucius Lit
tauer brought it into the United States
through this port clandestinely.
"A fine spectacle we have here of
an ex-member of Congress. who in
his public life was continual and ac-
tive advocate of the high tariff, seek
ing to evade the tariff laws gor gain.
Ex-Congressman Littauer is bene-
ticiary of the tariff laws. This fact
should be taken into consideration"
Counsel for. the Littauers said the
defendants had regarded the jewels
as antiques and not dutiable. 1t was
pointed out that furthermore they had
been intended for gifts and not for
commercial purposes.
