curity Company, probably will be made
this morning.
Arnsteins Arrest Expected
Neither Mr. Myers nor Edwards Fl.
Childs, Federal receiver for Arnstein,
would discuss the case yesterday. 1t
was said that the delay in filing re-
quest for permission to investigate the
safe deposit boxes WAS due to a desire
on the part Of the surety company to
gain more definite information con-
Meeting the boxes with Arnstein's finan-
cia transactions.
The surety company is reported to
have located yesterday another safe de-
posit box, which is said to be held
Jointly by Mr.. and Mrs. Arnstein. This,
according to the company, is the fifth
safe deposit box they have traced to
the keys.
The search for Arnstein/ yesterday
centered on Long Island, and the de-
tectives working on the case said last
night that his arrest was only mat
ter of hours. They point to the check
for $4,000 to substantiate their theory
that the fugitive is not very far from
the city limits.
The Arnsteins own beautiful coun-
try home at Huntington. L. l., and he
is we'll known in that vicinity. One
private detective agency received tip
last night that the alleged bond plotter

The eXtortion Indictment alleges that
before Furey went into partnership
with Joseph Gluck, another prisoner
being held in connection with bond

Britain Got Profit
On Shells Made i'm
L. S. for Russians
Former English Officer Re-
veals Deal in Suit to Re-
cover $5OO,OOO Said to
Be Due as Commission

In a suit brought in the Supreme
Court yesterday by Major Sidney G.
Reilly, retired, of the British army,
to recover commissions which he says
he would have earned if he had not
been induced by alleged false repre-
sentatons to cancel his contract, it
was revealed that the British govern
ment, as guarantor of an order for
shells from the Russian government
in 1915, receiver s4os,224 as commits

Major Reilly, who is suing for COM
missions, demands as his share $685.

obtained and for which the Eddystone
Ammunition Corporation received a
gross payment of s36,744,ooo. There

The plaintiff, who is technical and
consulting engineer, through Hays,
Hershfeld & Wolf, is suing the Bald
win Locomotive Works, the Eddystone
Ammunition Corporation, Samuel II.
Vauclain, formerly e-president of
the Baldwin company, and Andrew
Fletcher
Prior to July, 1915, said Major Reilly,
the Baldwin company, through Vauclain,
negotiated with the Russian govern
ment for the manufacture of field ar
tillery, shrapnel and shells. They or
ganized the Eddystone company
to execute the order, alleges the PLAIN
tiff With the consent OF the Russian
representative here the corporation was
ormed with capital of $2,5O0 Major
Reilly says the Baldwin company, its
officers and stockholders were the rea.
owners of this new corporation.
Major Reilly alleges that it was
falsely represented to him that the
Eddystone company was in default on
it's contract with Russia, and that
S10,000,000 advance payment made had
been spent on the plant. 1t was further
represented to the plaintiff, he says,
that the British government, through
j. P. Morgan & Co., had intervened to
finance the Russian government, take
sible for it. This arrangement, Major
Reilly says he was told was condi-
tional on there being no outstanding
claims. Reilly was promised his share
of the profits if he would consent to
cancel his contract with the Eddystone
company. If he did this, Major Reilly
says he was told, he would help the
Eddystone concern "out" Of a very
critical financial situation" The only
risk, he was assured, was from insult

OF the contract, which, however, was
unlikely. The plaintiff says the de-

Caillaux Says
He Believed
Bolo Innocent
Broke OFF Relations When
Telegrams From America
Convinced Him of His
Friends Guilt, He Says
Explains Their Meetings
Intimacy Due to Gratitude
for Convicted Traitors
Sympathy in Misfortune

PARIS, Feb. 24.-The examination
of former Premier Joseph Caillaux, on
trial before the Senate, sitting as q
high court, on the charge of having
had reasonable dealings with the Ger
mans and conspiring to bring about
day.
The questions dealt with the rela-
tions of NJ. Caillaux with Bolo Pasha,
executed at Vincennes in April, 1918,
after being convicted of treason, and
Pierre Lenoir, executed in Octorer,
1919, on being found guilty o having
held intelligence with the enemy.
Continuing, the witness said he con-
sidercd Bolo Pasha innocent of the ac-
cusations against him and treated him
atfectionat+ly, even while under sus-
picion early in 1917. He severed re-
lations with Bolo only when kilograms
from the United States were received.
The witness said he had met Lenoir
but twice and M. Duval. director of
the newspaper Bonnet Rouge" who
was executed in July, 1918, only once.
His relations with Miguel Almereyda,
editor of the Bonnet Rouge" who
was sentenced to five years imprson-
ment in connection with the Bolo Pasha
case and died mysteriously in prison,
according to Cailaux, were slight. He
said he was suspicious Of Almereyda.
Concerning Bolo Pasha NJ. Caillaux
told of frequent meetings with him at
luncheons and dinners in his own home
and at the residence of Bolo. These
meetings, he said, were due to graft
ttude for Bolo's attitude and sympathy
IN 1914, when the greatest catastro-
phe which ever befeIl a public man
was visited upon me-"
M. Calllaux added that not alone
was he satisfied that the case against
Bolo Pasha could not be proved, but
that former Premiers Vivani and Pain
leve told him there was no proof
against Bolo, and that the case would
have to be Abandoned
M. Cail!auX appeared to be worn out
after his long ordeal, but much less
50 than the venerable president of the
senate, Leon Bourgeois, and some Of
the aged Senators, who already are
showing the strain the trial is impos-
ing upon them. The galleries again
were crowded to-day with women. some
OF them in low-necked gowns, suggest
ing gala night at the opera.
The trial will be resumed Tomorrow
when M. Caillauxs activities in Italv
Will come up.

Students Will Punish
Cheaters at Columbia
Honor System Accepted by
Three Glasses; ssTell Teacher"
Clause Is Barred

The honor system in examinations,
with the obligation to "squeal" on
cheaters eliminated, was approved yes
tcrday by the senior. junior and fresh
man classes of Columbia University.
The sophomore class will vote on 1t at
it's next meeting. Instead Of reporting
to the instructors pupils caught crib
bing. the student body will take it
upon itself to punish offenders by
ostracism. .,
Under the plan adopted each pupil
will sign at the bottom of his paper
statement that he has not cribbed.
The provision requiring pupils to "tell
teacher" when they found a colleague
resorting to dishonest methods consti-
tuted the chief objection to the honor
system when it was considered on pre-
vious occasions.
Details are to be drawn up by the
student board and. circulated among
the entire student body The junior
class was three to one ia favor of the
plan. The seniors and freshmen
adopted it by big majorities The
juniors expressed willingness to k ep
their eyes on the freshmen and see
that the first-year men did not violate
the rules.

Restaurants Here
Prosperingg Despite
Dry Restraint
Many Have Adopted Plan
of Providing Good Food
to Attract Early Dinner
Parties of New Workers

Broadway's restaurant palaces are
far from taking the count True
enough, perhaps, as Julius Keller, own
er of MaXim's and Tor forty years IN
the restaurant business in New York
said yesterday: New York's night
life is no more. 1t has given way to
the quest for good food and bright en-
tertainment.' But, according to Mr..
Keller, Broadway restaurants still have
much for which to be thankful.
"Churchill's ?" repeated the owner of
that restaurant. "Say, we're doing the
business of our career. Last night, for
example. we sold $1,000 worth of food
over the figures of a year ago. Of
course, sales of liquor last year dis
counted this somewhat, but-and Pm
not exaggerating tive could have
filled Madison Square Garden last
night
Mr.. Churchill declared that the night
business was not what it once was, but
added that the early evening patronage,
dinner parties, tea parties and the like,
quite made up for it, and. said thai
what the people want now is some
thing like mother used to enjoy
clean, wholesome amusement and good
food. And we're giving it to them at
rate limited only by the number OF
chairs and tables we have"
A casual observation impresses one
with the extent to which the once noisy
and dispensing places have been
transformed into comfortable, sane
and, If one must admit it, more or
dcrly food dispensing establishments
And, according to the records of such
Delmonico's and Thomas Healy's
Golden Glades, the returns are equal
ing, if not surprising, those realized
when liquor selling was at its height
broadway restaurants" said Mr.
Keller, Of Maxims, "arc depending
upon New York men and women who
like to come downtown for a carefrec
evening. Do you know that in two
years the floating population of Broad
way has been reduced so per cent?
This is because great numbers who
formerly came to New York on the
pretext of buying goods to enjoy an
evening in cafe no longer come here
Nov, they write or telephone their
orders and stay at home, knowing there
is no great attraction here"
"Healy's is just beginning to thrive"
said the owner of Golden Glades. He
said that so long as the larger estab
lishrnents provide food that made peo-
pie talk" they would do we'll.
1t was announced by the Pekin
against which yesterday involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed, that
the restaurant would remain in opera
tion, and that it had not had brighter
outlook since its establishment.

trict Attorney Walker, at Grand Rapids,
Federal Judge Sessions or Attorney
General Palmer.
Authority Conflicts in Case
Commissioner Hatch, after confer
ring with Major Dalrymple, sent the
following telegram to District Attorney
Walker at Grand Rapids:
"Supervising Federal Prohibition
Agent Dalrymple here requests war
rants for arrests of Prosecuting Attor-
neay McDonough and those associated
with him in interfering with Prohibi-
ton Agent Grove in seizure of wine in
Iron River on February 10. Shall
issue warrants? If not, when they are
arrested by Dalrymple and brought be-
fore ne, shall then issue warrants and
hear the case? Wire Immediately"
Later Commissioner Hatch received
telegram from District Attorney
Walker requesting that Major Dal-
rymple wire a statement of the situa-
ton in Iron County and whether Grove
mad search warrants when he made the
laids there. The telegram said Mr..
Walker was ready to authorize the ar
rest of Prosecutor McDonough and the
other Iron County officials if the facts
warrant. Major Dalrymple tclegraphed
Mr.. Walker that Grove had no search
warrants. as none were required under
the prohibition law, because the liquor
was seized in store and not in pri-
vate dwelling
Major Dalrymple declared there
could be no compromise, and that he
proposed to "make an example" out
of the Iron County officials to show
the country that the "prohibition law
is to be respected"
Major Dalrymple said he would take
