GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. March 10.- Except for such points as may be de- veloped on the cross examination of Paul King, the defense today closed it's case in the Newberry elections con spiracy trial Only brief rebuttal is in prospect for. the government and Judge Sessions told the jurors that the long case was "certainly approach ing it's end so far as proof was con cerned"
 Kings illness will. in all probability. prevent a session of the trial tomor row.
 The end of the defense was marked by an unusual situation. James w. Helne. defendant, testified for himself without assistance of counsel. The man whom the Newberry counsel have said was worked" to run against Henry Ford in the democratic pri- mary, had first government and then defense counsel on their feet object ing to his testimony. At times both sides were up and once MT. Daily and w H. Eichorn, special assistant at tornev general and James O. Murfin and George F. Nichols, of the defense. put their heads together, examined an exhibit offered by Helme and unani- mously objected.
 Generally Judge Sessions allowed Helme to follow his own idea as to what to swear to and once when an  by MT. Daily and then not read des- pite MT. Murfin's argument that it should be. the court said:
 "Mr. Helmc is running this testi mony."
 Hclmc emphasized statements that he had no dealings with the Newberry campaign committee, believed his can didacy was desired by democrats and had no knowledge that Newberry sup porters had wanted him in the race.

FRENCH DISLIKE WILSON LETTER
 TO TOH|TCHCOCK
IRepubiican A. p. Leased Wirel

PARIS, March 10. Ardre Tardieu, who was a member of Frances dele gation in the peace conference. said today regarding President Wilson's letter to Senator Hitchcock:
 French public opinion will be in accord with that of the government that the reproach of imperialism can not apply to France. It is not a peace treaty that such a reproach can De based. The treaty was Judged ana Idefined by President Wilson himself III solidarity with the heads of other governments in the response addressed by them on June 16, 1919, to Count Von Brockdorff- RantZau, head of the German peace delegation.
 'NThat was a capital document said NJ. Tardieu, who continued:
 But this is the situation: First We asked that part of the League of Ma tions create an organized armed force as an essential condition of disarma- = ment in the different countries.
 Our proposition was rejected three different times.
 Second l. The United States prom ised us their guarantee in case of un- provoked attack as well by the treaty of Versailles as by the special treaty between them and us and neither of those treaties is ratified.
 "Third-The treaty of Versailles inn posed upon the allies and associa ed powers a certain number of common military duties-occupation of the left bank of the Rhine. Schleswig, Danzig. Memel. Alienstein. Marienwender. up per Silesia and Teschen. Excepting a few thousand Americans on the Rhine it is French troops which everywhere bear that charge alone or nearly alone.
 "Fourth-The negotiations in Paris had in view participation by the allies and associated powers in the occupa- tions of mandated territories Here, again, the United States disappeared. and to protect the population against massacres in Constantinople, Anatolia Armenia and Galicia. it was again France that was called upon
 Therefore, I repeat. it is unjust to accuse us of imperialism. No one in France protests against the continual increase of the American navy. Our army. like the American navy. is what circumstances require it to he. and if IS not France that created those cir cumstances. It is the debate going on Tor months in the United States over the ratification of the peace treaty that created them. Everyone knows my respect for President Wilson. bu. think i{1 his letter to Senator Hitch cock he has been unjust to France"

 IF TURKISH TREATY
Republican 4. p. leased Wirej


 LONDON, March 10-The report of the allied commissioners in Constanti- nopie was presented at Wednesdays meeting of the supreme council, ac- cording to statements current in peace conference circles tonight, where it also was said that the council adopted the main proposals of the report.
 These are believed to have recom- mended very sharp measures to inn press upon Turkey that. the allies are determined to have Turkey comply with the armistice terms and treat the Armenians and other subject races in accordance with the ideals of western civilization.
 "To this end the council is believed to have ordered certain important points in European and Asiatic Turkey occupied by allied naval and military forces. It seems doubtful whether any direct punitive action against Musta- pha Kemal Pasha. the Turkish com decided on. but it seems likely that such action is to be held in abeyance until the effect of the occupation of the strategic points indicated above is ob- served.
 Should a decision be made to round up Kemal and his forces, however, it is thought likely that the task will be entrusted to the Greek army now occu- pying Smyrna and the surrounding dis trict, whose services NJ. Nenizelos. tke Greek premier. is said to have offered the council on behalf of his govern ment. This army is estimated at 9o.00O men, while it is thought KemaFs forces do not exceed 10000.
 Meanwhile the Turkish treaty seems far from completed and it is reported that the existing draft will be mater tally amended.

7O-YEAR FIGHT FUR
 SUFFRAGE WON SAYS
 NATIONAL PRESIDENT
Republican A. p. Leased wfreJ

NEW YORK, March 10.-"Suffrage is won. The words are simple but they thrill as few words do or can"
 This was the encouraging conclusion of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presi- dent of the National American Woman Suffrage association in a statement issued here on receipt of news that West Virginia had ratified the federal suffrage amendment. With West Vir- ginia won the Washington and Della ware legislatures meeting soon in special session, the opinion expressed at headquarters tonight was that the struggle is over.'
 People who have followed the course of woman suffrage from the outside with indifference or small un- derstanding of what has been at stake,1 said Mrs. Catt, will have no comprehension of the real message which the West Virginia victory car ries to women. To us it means that the nation is won: that the 1O-year struggle is over; that the women Of America are enfranchised women
 And now whatever comes out of granting the suffrage to women it is safe to predict that it will never be responsible for any offering to the welfare except those things which have been well considered and intelh- gently endorsed.

IRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

LONDON, March 10.-The peace conference spent the day in trying to work out the details of military and naval plans in connection with Turkey, giving particular attention to Armenia. Admiral Beatty, Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary for war, and oth- CTS were called in to give their opin- ions Premier Venize1os of Greece. was also present and again insisted that the allies should take the stern est measures against the sultan.
 The general plan of action was not changed, however, but as a result of the conference. it became known today that the military domination at Con- stantinople is likely to take the form of allied military, control of certain Turkish governmental activities, among them probably the war depart ment.
 The conferees were careful to make clear that this does not mean the talk ing over of the Turkish government at the outset and would not in tha future if Turkey shows an inclination to abide by the terms of the arnistice and cease maSSacreS.
 The fears of some that the consist ent military demonstrations in Con- stantinople would lead to further massacres in Armenia and Silesia have been allayed by the attitude of M. VeneZelos.
 Those joining in this attitude are certain that the Turkish government has enough control over Mustapha Renal to prevent his troops from com hitting excesses in Asia Minor
 Should this policy be adopted the Creeks stand to lose more heavily than any other nationalists >s there are million and a half Greeks in Asia Minor.
