taking of seventy passengers from
the ill-fated steamer Princess Anne,
which was blown ashore off Rock
away Beach during the gale which
wrecked such havoc on the Atlantic
coast
All attempts to reach the strand

waves until today, when the seas
calmed a little. About twenty of
the crew remained on board the
ship.
The passengers were crushed to
New York. many of them suffering
sufiicient food. Shortly after the
ship struck the sand bar the engine
room was flooded. putting out of
commission the wireless, heating
apparatus, and all lights. The pas
sengers. and with officers and crew
numbering seventy-two. gathered

saying that the gale which drove
the Princess Anne ashore was the
worst he has ever seen in twenty
years sea experience.
1t was said last night that the
water was slowly washing away the
sand bar under the i'll fated ship
and it Is feared that she will break
in two. 1t Is hoped by the ships
owners that she will hold together
until tomorrow when an attempt
may be made to fioat her. A large
hole was stove in the stern.

Tales of How Election

Hits All Michigan.

Gran4 Rapids. Mich. Feb. THE
Newberry trial tonight had the
State OF Michigan holding its
breath.
: Hardly a word is spoken in the
court room OF Federal Judge Car
ence W. Sessions but tosses high
explosive into some corner OF the
State.
The majority of the defendants

election fraud-and there are 1S5

Senator Truman H. Newberry-are

home towns. They are judges.
State officials. members Of the leg
islature, county officials, or. at the
very least. factotums of the village
depot.
Communities shaken
So, when a witness gets on the
stand here in Grand Rapids and says
that Bill Smith told him Senator
Newberry's representatives paid
Bill Brown money during the sena-
torial election OF 1918. there is an
earthquake in some community. So
many regulations are at stake in
this trial and each defendant SO
fearful that he will be splashed by
the scandal. that each session is
period Of bated breath climax with
no moments of calm.
The result is that tonight. when
the first week of the trial con-
cluded, jury. judge, lawyers, de-
PENDANTS and all others connected
with the trial fed as far from the
court house as possible.
The trial will require at least
sixty days. it is predicted.
To Call Over 600 Witnesses.
More than 500 witnesses will be
called by the government in the
attempt to prove that Senator
Newberry spent in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 to win his seat
in Congress. The range of these
witnesses in location and occupa-
tion, seems unlimited. Hotel clerks
from New York have testified about
kilograms Sen. Newberry received
there: Washington newspaper men
have told what they heard at the
Capitol: a North Carolina engineer
told what he knew. and miners
from the North have had their
say. Some of the most prominent
bankers in Michigan have climbed
to the stand to explain the ex-
istence or nonexistence of the New
b. >rry campaign bank accounts
which already seem to have ex-
ceeded s175.00O. according to tes-
timony--farmers have driven in to
tell how much they are alleged to
have received for circulatink petit
tions. and smartly dressed women
have recited how they received
money for everything from address,
ing envelopes to working among the
women. who. in turn, were expect
ed to work, their husbands to work
for Senator yNewberry.
Both Sides Prepared.
