BELIEVE NEWBERRY
SHOULD GIVE Up HIS
SEAT IN SENATE
Whether Guilty Personally or Not,
His Election Was by Corrupt
Methods.
woLcoTT TO COUNT VOTES
Special Dispstch From Every Evenings
WAshin yton Correspondent.

Special Dispatch From Every Evenings .
WASHINGTON Correspondent.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator VOL
colts appointment on the subcommittee
which will recount the ballots cast in the
Michigan Senatorial election is greeted
with satisfaction by his colleagues. The
DclawareSenator said the committee would
begin almost Immediately to go over the
ballots Charges have been made that the
boxes were stuffed, that Illegal ballots were
cast in Senator Newberry's interest lit
orally by the thousands, but so far nothing
has been done To establish or dissipatc
these accusations.
Whether the committee will go to Michi-
gan has not been decided. In all probable
ity this will not be deemed necessary, be-
Cause it is easy to bring the boxes. to
Washington. Nevertheless, circumstances
may develop which win make desirable
q visit TO the spots where the ballots were
cast. There will be n recount of all ballots
cast in the State, as the contest is confined
80 limited area.
Senator Wolcott said the committee would
do its work throughly. "Our business will
be not to determine whether Senator New
berry had done anything irregular, but
merely to find out if ballots had been
cast in an Illegal manner" he said.
ThlNh NEWbEhhf ShotiSD hAsi0N.
Some Senators are inclined to think that
no matter what may be the outcome of
the trial in Michigan, the seat of Senator
NewberTy should be declared vacant. If,
of course, he is convicted, he ceases to be
q United States Senator. But should he be
acquitted, result which Senators on
both sides hope for, they believe he should
resign.
81 don't believe Senator Newberry did
anything wrong knowingly" said Senator
Mcclellan, of Tennessee" but it appears
yhat some OF his friends spent vast sums
in his behalf. Now, he ought to resign and
invite Mr. Ford TO run the race over again
with him. The money, no matter who ex-
pended it, was Illegally used. This being
so, the seat is tainted although the man
himself may be entirely innocent. I'm the
case of Senator Lorimer of Illinois, the
Senate simply decided that he had not
been legally elected. There was no evidence
to show he had guilty knowledge of the
excessive use of money on his behalf,
nevertheless the Senate decided he should
not be the beneficiary of a corruptly con-
Quoted campaign"
Senator Mckellar's views seem to be
pretty generally shared by leaders on both
sides OF the Senate.

purely commercial.
All our representatives IN washington
are heartily back Of the development"
he said 1--WE feel the government has
been good to Wilmington in giving us the
channel in the Christiana, but We still
think we are entitled TO more consideration
in view of the large share Of public taxes
contributed by our State"
At the suggestion of Colonel Jcrvey
the government engineers decided to con-
fer among themselves as soon as possible
TO try to formulate tentative new lines
for the board to pass upon.
MIR. Speakman indicated desire here
to get busy this spring with the project.
All present strove for way to avoid
another formal hearing TO expedite mat
