The writer provides details of the bankruptcy hearing of Edmond R. Lyon. Evidence presented in the case implicates Lucius Nathan Littauer in entering into government supply contracts specifically forbidden to members of Congress by federal law. Lyon had collaborated with Littauer in contracts for gloves through Littauer Bros., a firm owned by Littauer with his brother. It is alleged that Littauer would learn of the contracts to be let, buy up all the deerskin, and make it unprofitable for anyone else to bid.
