ONE.WAY TRAFFIC
 FINDS SUPPORTERS
Only Five Of it2 at Rotary Dinner
 Opposed to It

Today was boys day at the Rotary club. Father and Son Day" was what the boys committee, under the direction of F. NJ. Holmes, called it but the boys just called it their day Each Rotarian was supposed to bring his boy if he had one, or some other boy if necessary. There were 111 men and boys present, ranging all the way from E. w. Bennett's son, Cal vin, who is three years old, and Fred Rackliffe's son, Foster, not quite four to certain sons now prominent in po- litical, business and industrial circles who have sons of their own.
 An interesting thing tbout the meet ing was the taking of Sentiment vote" on the one way traffic question. The vote showed only five out of the entire group 112 in favor of any other system than the one way system now in force. Another amusing incident was the question by one boy. How can you eat and sing at the same time?" He was informed that this is the only unexplained mystery of Ro- tary.
 Clever stunts in card manipulation and sleight of hand were demon- strated by Paul Humphreys of Spring field.
 Life is like the spinning of a top, according to Rev. A. F. Campbell of Hartford. He told the boys that 10 make a life spin right it must be wound right in the beginning. The winding processes of life, he said de- pended upon early training.
 He said the spinning of top can leave bad impression, such as did his top one time when as n boy he fried 10 spin it on a mahogany table The spinning of boys life also may leave a bad impression on his char acter,
 He pointed out that the rule ap- plies to tops and boys the same as il does 10 men--they cannot be han died by being dictated to. He said a L. S. senator one timo demanded of newsboy on the streets, Give me B paper" He was met by the query, "Is that A request of commando" The newsboy later became one of the greatest military leaders of his time and ruled the A. F. r. forces in tho world war on the theory of requests rather than commands. He was John l. Pershing.
 You can't do anything with top that hasn't a point" he said, and told the boys the same thing applied to their lives, that they should be- come acquainted with the knowledge of what inc points of their lives were going to be.
 He concluded with the story of Baptist minister who received 8 new robe for gift. His sons played cards without their parents knowl- edge and when nearly caught one day hid the deck in the old robe. The new robe not being available, he had to wear the old one 10 bap- tism and while in the water, first an ace Of hearts noated to the top and was followed by king, queen, jack and finally ten. He shook his fist at the boys and was greeted with the advice, "Go on Dad. if you can't win with that hand you ought to get out Of the game"
 He told the boys that years ago people said cards were the Devils Bible and burned them. He said things are wrong only because they gre used wrongly. "Nirtue is not in piece of paper. no matter what may be on it," he said.

EBERT ACTS TO END
CABINET MUDDLE
Asks Marx to Make Thor.
ough, Final Search for
Coalition Party.

Ds tlic aseoSlaleu 1TeSS.
BERLIN, December 1S.-presidant
Ebert this morning consulted again
with Chancellor Marx and authorized
him to make a thorough and final
survey of the parliamentary situa-
ton in a last attempt to form a min
1stry which would command the nec-
essary majority in the Reichstag.
The summons followed the failure OF
Foreign Minister Stresemann, leader
of the German Peoples party, TO con-
struct a straight non Socialist cabi-
net.
Chancellor Marx conferred briefly
with the leaders of the Socialist and
German Peoples parties today. The
situation at noon was such that the
construction of four-party coali-
ton which would include the Social
lists appeared to be only a remote
possibility.
The. general impression was that
President Ebert would request the
Marx Stresemann cabinet to continue
in office.
Reports that President Ebert might
have recourse to the appointment of
a non -parliamentarian to head a
non partisan cabinet were given lit
tie credence in political quarters. The
prejudice among all the parties
against such a solution was freely
limited at in references to the similar
experiment introduced with the ap-
pointment of DR.. Wilhelm Cuno as
chancellor two years ago.

.S1Q,534,
GRANTED BY Jury
Trial of s15,00O,0O0 Felt
Companies Suit Sets Rec
ord of 1874 Days.

DEDHAM, Mass. December ia
verdict of s1O,534,109.07 for the plain
. tiff was returned today by the jury in
the $4,000, 900 damage suit brought
by George F. Wiliett against Robert
F. Herrick and a group of Boston
bankers. Trial of the case in Norfolk
Superior Court lasted 1874 days. The
jury had been celebrating since Mon
day.
The case, which set new mark in
Americar$ court history for trial
length, was brought by Willett to re-
cover from Herrick and the banking
group sums claimed to have been lost
by the plaintiff through an alleged
conspiracy in which he was deprived
OF centrol of the American Felt and
Daniel Green Felt companies
The time required for hearing the
evidence caused the litigation to be
compared with the famous Tichborn
trial in London, the second period of
which in 1874 lasted 1873 days. In
that case Arthur Orton, the son Of a
butcher, was charged with perjury on
the ground that he had represented
himself as Roger Tichborn. missing
heir to large estate. Only Il of the
12 jurors impaneled for the trial con-
sidered the evidence and rendered the
verdict. One suffered a nervous COL
lapse in the course of the trial and
was forced to quit the box, counsel
agreeing to continue with a jury of
II. The case is believed to be the
only one on record where a special
law was passed to raise jury salaries
in compensation for the Jurors pro-
longed neglect Of business.
