For a Year.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 13.-
Paul King, Newberry campaign man
ager, made vain attempt to resume
testimony in the Newberry elections

fects of nervous collapse incurred
last Tuesday, King was exhausted aft
er five minutes effort to recollect

Thursday for the first time.

stand, grasping at tables and sup
ported by James o. Murfin, chief coun-

breathing with difficulty.
II haven't enough breath to answer
more than yes or mo- at first" he
explained to Allen V. Rees of Hough
ton, attorney for Myron Sherwood
Marquette, when he was asked to de
scribe his first meeting with that de
fendant.
] King said that early in May, 1918
Sherwood declined to do more thai
handle nominating petitions becaus'
of business pressure. About TIVE
months later Sherwood found time t
take charge of the campaign in Mar
quette City, but at no time was any
thing said abort campaign finances
either as to receipts or expenses, KIM
said.
After five minutes of this effort
King was leaning on the table in
state of obvious exhaustion. Franl

stepped to the bench, conferred wit
Judge Sessions. and then with Martil
w. Littleton, and the judge ordere

At frequent intervals the opposing
forces in the senate have entered on
what is described by the Washington
correspondents as the decisive strug-
gle over the peace treaty Of Versailles.
At this writing they are engaged in
another of those combats, and the
prospect is that this time 1t really will
be decisive. Early in the week Presi-
dent Wilson. rather than to confer
with a representative Of the compro-
misers. wrote a long letter to Senator
Hitchcock In which he reasserted his
old position regarding the treaty, con-
demned the reservations as a nullifi-
cation of the League Of Nations cove
nant and pleaded for consideration of
the needs Of humanity instead of "spe-
cial national interests" He demand
ed that article 10 be accepted un-
changed and asserted that to refuse to
accept the moral obligation required
by 1t would be a breach of good faith.
II the United States cannot enter the
league with full responsibility, he said,
it should retire gracefully from the
great concert Of powers. Article 10,
said the president. represents the re-
nuncIation by the other great powers
of their old imperialistic ideas and
aims, and its doctrine is the essence
Of Americanism. He continued:
