 In the action it was alleged the Gillette company had violated the Clayton antitrust act. The action gave notice that damages amount ing to $1,50O,0OO would be asked. Segal also confirmed a rumor that Gillette had filed suit against his company, alleging Infringement of two Gillette patents on blades.
 "I do not attach much import ance to the action which has been taken by the Gillette company" Segal said. We have casried on our business for many years under the protection patents both here and abroad. and in our safety razor division we now have a number of patents in this country and abroad and others pending. and we do not believe that our business in any way infringes on the rights of the Gillette company. Of course the suit will be de- fended."
 Former Judge Morris, attorney for the Segal company in its ac- tion against Gillette is the at torney who represented United Cigar Stores company against the Gillette company.
 The latter case was recently settled by payment of $l.90O,00O by Gillette to United Cigar Stores.

day after suffering nervous breakdown and heat collapse sev- eral weeks ago.
 The 72-year old Ware lieuten- ant suffered the breakdown while here to confer with William S. Ware on a mayorality candidate for Philadelphia. His illness was kept secret for some time, and even un- til yesterday his physicians denied rumors that his condition was critical.
 His condition took turn for the worse late yesterday and oxygen was administered to Drolong his life. Throughout the night he was kept alive by the stimulant after two heart specialists had conferred with his personal physician, Dr George Pennington.
 Cunningham. man of deter mined convictions, revealed his un- flinching nature when he was called before the senate investi- gating committee headed by former Senator James A. Reed ir 1926. Persistently asked where he had obtained the $5O.000 he contributed to the Ware campaign fund, he continually refused to an swer on the ground 1t was his own affair. The case is still pending
 In his earlier years. Cunning ham, familiar figure in the Gen. tral City, made the acquaintance of former Senator Boise Penrose who had much to do with his po- litical success.
 It was while clerk that Cunning ham became associated with Charles l.. Brown. They rose to political prominence together and did not sever their allegiance until the are-Penrose battle in 1921.
 His death Is attributed indirectly to his failure to put across George H. Biles as the republican candi l. date for mayor. The worst pollti- cal defeat he ever suffered.
