Washington, Feb. 4Protest against the use of firearms and the employ ment of armed guards and private de- tectives in labor disputes and strikes was made by Secretary w. B. Wilson of the Department of Labor, in his first annual report submitted yester- day to President Wilson He recom- within its constitutional limitations to regulate this business in the i'm terest of public peace and order
 tsThe use of f1rearns,' said Secretary Wilson, fin species of private war fare in connection with. labor strikes calls for serious consideration. Groups of men on both sides. without military or police authority for it, have used firearms with fatal eff: ect in the coal strike in southern Colorado These arms and the ammunition have doubt less been procured through interstate commerce, and many of the armed men are said to have been imported inte Colorado from other states through a business concern engaged cornInercfa1ly across state lines in sup plying corporations with an armed and trained private so1diery. or police in numbers running into huadreds and even thousands In connection with the Pere Marquette strike in Michigan, armed guards, furnished by agencies in other states supplying men to take the place of local strikers. ac- companied those men to Grand Rap ids. They were there turned back by the United States marshal under instructions from the district judge. In the Calumet ,copper-mining region, armed guards under contract with the employers were forwarded to the To- cality by agencies in other states Secretary Wilson takes advanced ground. ''The relation of employer and wage-earner,.. says he, "is no longer personal or individual be- cause both employers and operatives act in groups.
 ..It is obvious" the report says, that this method of employment, gener a1- 1y necessary for success in modern industry may give to employers great contractual advantages over wage earners Unless wage earners also act collectively through their own agents they are often at a practical disad- vantageM Employers who act collec- lively in hiring wage earners are of ten averse to dealing with agents of wage earhers who collectively offer their services. They desire to con tract with wage earners individually. It is upon this point that labor dis putes frequently spring up and be- come acute. In most instances in which employers accord workmen practical recognition of the right of collective bargaining which they them selves exercise, fair relations are main tained.
 "In any circumstances. differences must be expected to arise. In such cases the Department of Labor might possibly find a common ground for agreement which the disputants, in their eagerness for advantage or in the heat of their controversy, had overlooked"
 In that connection, it is suggested that Congress clearly define the func- tions of the Department of Labor in

PERU'S PRESIDENT IS PRISONER OF
 REvOLUTIONISTS

Lima, Peru, Feb. 4EThe President of the Republic of Peru, Guf11ermo Bil- Izlghurst,S was taken prisoner today by military revolutionists who attack d the presidential palace under the of Col Benavides.
 General Enrique Vare1a. premier and minister of war and marine, was kill ed in the fighting
 Dr. Augusta Durand, a former revo- 1utionary leader, whose arrest was sought by the police yesterday, took possession of the palace and it is believed that he will form a new government.
 The attack on the palace began at 4:30 a. m. Thousands of the inhabi- tants of Lima rushed into the streets alarmed by the firing. The soldiers were ordered to fire vol1eys into the air in order to prevent the forma- ton of crowds in the streets and this order kept the people moving from place to place.
 In the vicinity of San Pedro Church. civilian was killed by a. bullet
 Great alarm prevailed throughout the city and banks and stores were closed and private houses barricad- ed. The street cars. however, began running before noon.

Ambitious Lad Prefers School to Shopwork, and
 Father Straps Him
CHILD BADLY HURT
 GOES TO HOSPITAL
Prisoner Alleged to Have Attacked Wife the Same
 Way Few Hours Before

Because he preferred school to go- ing to work in a factory, little John Kerkes, aged 13, was beaten so badly by his step-father, Andre Kerkes, that he is now in the Bridgeport hospital for X-ray observation. It is believed that the boy has a compound frac- ture of the left wrist. His body is covered with weIts and bruises from the blows rained on him by his sep father who welded a strap studded with r1vetz.
 The little lad was brought into the John H. Redgate in command at the Srd Precinct station. Johnny, who is a bright little fellow attends the Long fellow school. After the morning ses- sion was called today his teacher mo- ticed that the boy lay sobbing softly desk.
 She. inquired the cause of his tears and rather reluctantly the boy told his story. His father a husky, well built man, either will not or cannot find employment. To add~to the family in come he has insisted that the boy ob- tain employment. John was born in Austria and is anxious to get an edul cation This morning after his step father had beaten him John ran away to school without his breakfast and the teachers at the Longfel1ow school gave him breakfast out of their lunch boxes.
 As he ate the. boy told his story and the teachers at the school then com pained to the police. The boy was i'll clad and his shoes scarcely kept his feet from the ground Before he was taken to the hospital Supt. Johnson of the charities department gave hlan an order for a pair of new shoes and Captain Redgate went with the boy
 
 John explained that his step-father had refused to buy either clothing or shoes for him and that he had picked up the shoes he was wearing on .'the dump
 Shortly before noon today Police man Edward Wheeler arrested Kerlxes and he was locked up at the 3rd Pre- cinct station. A further charge of cruelty to children will be lodged against him by the humane. officers who have interested themselves in the case.
 Kerkes has not worked in several months and last night it is claimed he beat his wife. the mother of John. The little fellow who could not stand to see his mother beaten rushed from the house and complained to the po- lice. Officers went to the house to arrest Kerkes then, but his wife beg ged so hard that they finally let him go on his promise to behave himself.
 This morning before his stepson was out of bed Kerkes began to beat the boy, showering blows on the little fe1- lows naked body until his shrieks brought the neighbors who forced him to desist Some of the police officers who saw little Johns cruelty bruised body expressed the desire for an op- portunity to apply to Kerkes the same kind of treatment he accorded his de- fenseless step-son-

EX-CONGRESSMAN FINED AND GIVEN
 JAIL SENTENCE Llittauer Brothers Found Guilty On Smuggling
 Charges

New York, Feb. 4-Lucius N Lit tauer, a former Congressman, and his brother, William, were fined $1,0OO each and sentenced to six months in Jail today for smuggling. The court, however, suspended sentence in the matter of the jail penalty.
 The brothers were arraigned in the federal district court before Judge Edwin s. Thomas, having pleaded guilty yesterday to two indictments in- defra.ud. They admitted bringing into this country without paying duty valuable jewels purchased in Venice and intended for gifts for William httaueTs wife. United States Dis trict Attorney Marshall at the time of the plea urged that the full penalty of the law be imposed and pointed out that Lucius Littauer, as 8 glove manu- facturer, had benefited by the protec- tive tariff.
 In suspending the jail sentence, Judge Thomas warned the offenders that this would not be his policy in the future. He explained, however, that he had not found it the custom in this district to dnfHct such penal ties. He severely grilled both defend ants and said that the fact that Lueius Idttauer had served 10 years in Con gress and the general high standing of the offenders aggravated rather than Initigated their offense.
 sfIf any distinction is to be made" continued Judge Thomas, sdt appears to me that it should be in favor of an 'uneducated person. For an ex-Con- gressman so far to forget his oath taken five times and knowing so well the provisions of the law he helped to frame, seems to be incomprehensible
 Tn cases like this the Humiliation may be punishment enough for the in- dfytdua1 but it will not serve for oth- CTS similarly inclined. A money pen- atty is no punishment at all for those well able to pay and a travesty on justice"
 Judge Thomas added that the fact that the defendants had pleaded guilty and made full resi- tuition of civil lias- bilfty by paying the government $14,- 900, and also the iu-health of Lucius Littauer, had been taken into consid- eration in connection with sentencing them.

NEARLY A FIGHT IN HEARING ON
 ,DR. JONES CASE Disclosure of Sensational Happenings In Dental
 Boards Hearing LAWYER FOR BOARD PRESENTS ASPERSIONS Commissioners Say Klein
 Tried to Run Hearing Before Them ,.

Resenting the allegations that the Dental Commission had treated Dr. Arthur G. Jones of this city. unfairly and had prejudged his case, State Sen ator Thomas J. Spel1acy Of Hartford denounced in the common pleas court this morning what he termed the "con- temptibIe aspersions against an hon orable board, which are entirely un- called for.'' This outburst came af- ter Attorney J. B. Klein, representing Dr. A. w. Crosby of New London. whether he had talked with various Bridgeport dentists about the case of pr. Jones, whose license was re- gently revoked by the commission. At torney Klein sought to give the inn commission had listened to remarks from local dentists before they held a hearing on Dr. Jones'
 Dr. Crosby, who is 8. member of the commission, admitted that some of the local dentists had discussed the case with him but further questions along this line were ruled out by Judge Scott. Attorney Klein introduced the original copy of the charges against Dr. Jones, filed with the commission by local dentists. He said one man signed all three names appended to the document and counsel for the commission admitted that Dr. J. L..
 
 Dr. Crosby was examined at great length on what happened at the hear ing before the commission which re- suited in Dr. Jones license being re- voked He declared Dr. Jones ad- mitted having his photographs in newspaper and theatrical program ad- vertisements and that his name was blazoned on his office windows, ai- though heswaa not a licensed dentist and had no right to perform opera tioHs.
 pr. Crosby declared pr. Jones wanted to know what he could do about the matter and expressed him self as willing to withdraw the ad- vertisements and the name from the office windows. The commission ad- vised Dr. Jones to take the State Board examinations. On cross ex- animation by Attorney Klein, the wit ness decided that Dr. Taylor, presi- dent of the commission, threw a pa per across the table at pr. Jones af- ter he had finished reading it. The witness said pr. Taylor might have tossed the paper.
 Attorney Klein wanted to know if he (K1ein) didn't protest because the
