Lawyer Takes Instrument to New York for Client and Learns It Is Just Another Fiddle Valued Probably
 at S1O0-German Copy of Original by Master.

The subdued excitement which prevailed in the law office Of s. Gerald Casale has died down. It came about in this way.
 Recently Attorney Casale was ap- preached by a client who had very valuable violin" It had been a family heirloom. and the man who used to play it claimed it was worth lot ot money.
 May be a Stradivarius, were the words in bated breath.
 The more Mir Casale examined the fiddle the more he became con- vinced that at last he had the op- portunity of fondling a genuine Stradivalius
 He called in a so-called local eX- pert, who likewise felt enthusiastic. There was writing inside of the fld- dle, and the word ''Stradivarius' was nearly legible enough for blind man to read. Other words, in Ital- ian, Latin and German, were not so legible. But what could one expect

 When young Casale took it to New York he held tight to the violin all the way. The hat and baggage racks in the train were entirely too public for the fiddle. Johns arms got tired holding the thing. but he consoled himself with the necessities of the situation.
 Arriving at the music house of Carl Fisher. world renowned, the violin experts there made an ap- praisal with glassy eyes. They showed a letter from a violin vir- tuoso who said he was in the mar ket for a genuine Stradivarius and was Willing to pay a fabulous amount

chapcellor of the exchequer in Great Britain, that he is watching the course of events in France and is ready to demand that the French treasury hand over to the exchequer sum equivalent to the American war stock payment will not change the situation, it was said.
 The Caillaux- Churchill agreement does provide that France must pay Great Britain on war debts as much as she does to the United States on the same account, but it is held that the war stock deal is not a war debt, and does not come within the pro- vision of the debt settlement to which the chancellor referred. Premier Poincare is understood al- ready to have made known to Lon- don that this is the standpoint of France.

LABOR PARTY WINS
 ITS FIRST CLASH
Decisive Vote On Safeguarding
 Has Aid Of Liberals

London. July 10 PD-The new British labor government of Premier Ramsay Macdonald has locked horns for the first time with the conservative opposition and had emerged victorious.
 A combination with liberal ele- ments permitted them last night to express their disapproval of the po.- ,icy of safeguarding, or protective tariff, developed during the Baldwin administration, and to lay the foun- dation for future free trade policy of their own.
 The vote, which was decisive, came on a proposed conservative amendment to the answer to the kings speech which would have placed the house on record as fav- bring continuation of safeguarding. Labor won $40 against 220.
 . The $40 votes came from a total of 347, combined labor and liberal strength. Out of 260 conservatives. 220 supported their party's amend ment. The labor Liberal combination was a foregone conclusion since free trade is one of the foundation blanks of the liberal platform.
 The voting marked the first divi- sion of the house of commons since accession of the new government. In the debate preceding it, Philip Snow den, chancellor of the exchequer, laid down the governments policy on safeguarding duties. He charac- terzed the policy of imperial pref erence as "fallacious and unsound' and indicated the governments strong dislike for all such duties.
 He challenged the conservative party to resort again to protection as a party policy, saying that if the conservatives did so they might con- tent themselves with being in op- position for an interminable period. He expressed the governments de- termination to remove eventually all duties on foodstuffs.

for it. And there was a real Stradi- varius in the place. too, but that wasn't for sale except for so much the figures made John bend at the knees.
 But that fiddle you've got here is no Stradivarius, reluctantly advised the expert. That's only a German copy-see. it says so right inside '' The word copy" was in German. being one of those German words the book-learned German students have difficulty in remembering and anyway, the lettering had worn partly away.
 The Latin in it also is not like the writing in the genuine articles. See, here is the real Strad--" An attendant got it out of a safe, and a crowd of office satellites lowered around it as if a visit from a hold up crew was momentarily expected. Maybe the boys were armed too, or there were machine guns and tear bombs hidden about the place. John doesn't know exactly, only having had eyes to note the difference be- tween the genuine Strad and his German imitation.
 All you've got there is a fiddle worth about s1o0, after it is re- paired said the expert. And it will cost about $50 to repair it.
 It being legal business, young Casale thought it wise to confer with another expert, so as to be able to tell the fiddle-o owning client there was agreement by several of these gentlemen. So he went to another expert on And street and learned exactly the same thing about the fiddle.

 The two women received the news of the planes landing in Spain at the Yancey home on West End ave- nue. They had spent a busy day answering telephone calls, telegrams and radiograms from friends appar- ently more alarmed over the fate of their husbands than they them selves.

Young Casale engaged a hotel room and called it day. He quit guarding the fiddle as if it were a quart of diamonds or a newborn baby. Indeed. when he got into the hotel room he placed it in a corner. and mentally opined he was through playing guard over it. There he left it to see the sights of the city.
 On the way back to New Britain he placed the fiddle in the hat rack above the coach seats and scarcely looked at it all the way home.
