story printed in the Tribune last Decem-
Der concerning former Representative Lu-
cius \. Littauer, who pleaded guilty re-
Gently Of smuggling and other customs
cases. The federal authorities desired to
learn where the leak was. supposedly
in the customs house, by which the news
paper was enabled to obtain its story in
advance Of formal proceedings in court.

move all possibility of consequences, but

| as so important that whatever the deci-
| sion of the court 1t was likely to be car
risd to the United States Supreme Court
Judge Hand adjourned the case until aft
er the present court calendar shall be

that the newspaper men were attempting
to shield federal official who had be-

the two men was based on a precedent
established by AR Wise, who during the
Taft administration devised this means of
inducing a reluctant witness to answer

RACES POLICE AUTO;
CAUGHT BY COPS

Carl Coffman, OF Pennville, while
driving an automobile east on the Ma
tional road, west of the city, came up
with a dark, rakish looking machine
Sunday, and decided to show it some
speed. He turned loose all the Juice
and the rakish look craft gave chase,
finally overhauling him at West Fifth
and Main streets. There Coffman
learned to his disgust that he had
been racing the police automobile and
was under arrest for exceeding the
speed limit. He was not arraigned il:
court today.
The police car, with it's tell-tale let
tering skilfully covered, cruised abou
the city and vicinity Sunday afternoon
looking for naughty motorists driving
faster than the state of Indiana per
mits them to, but the motorists ap-
peared to possess some uncanny intui-
ton, for whenever the police car was
in sight they glided along in a most
circumspect manner, with the excep
ton of the unlucky Coffman.
