Duration of Trial of
Michigan Senator Is
Still Uncertain
BY RUSS SIMONTON,
N E. A. Staff Correspondent.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. 10.
1t is exasperating to be tried on
the charge of gaining his senate seat
through violations of the federal cor
rupt practices act.
Senator Truman H. Newberry, mil
lionaire, on trial with 134 of his
henchmen here, in Federal Court, for
alleged conspiracy to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars in his election,
is a study in evaporation, and cheer
fulness compounded with avoirdupois.
"The worst thing about it is that
can't find time for exercise" Sen
ator Newberry complained to a friend
at the hotel dinner table. "It's ex-
asperating." This complaint is due
to the fact Senator Newberry is no
longer quite young and is thicken-
ing a bit at the neck and widening
at the waist, as it were. However,
losing a figure need not mean losing
sweet disposition and "the charm
ing Mr.. Newberry,' as his lawyers
say, is proving the fact.
Wears Nifty Striped Suit.
Senator Newberry is cheerful, even
though eXaSpefaLeu anu gaining III
weight. He is an outstanding. stocky,
little man with small plump hands
and small feet not so plump. The
senator must have worn a naval uni
form we'll when he was a lieutenant
commander in New York, but now
at his trial he wears simple busl-
ness suit of blue serge with a wide
spaced white stripe. The senator is
up early in the morning and chats
and laughs with his alleged CO.
conspirators in the hotel lobby be-
fore he walks to court. He and

CHURCH STREET
PAVING HELD UP
BY OBJECTIONS
Fine Legal Point Made
by Property Owner
May Delay Work.

Because certain property owners
along that street have interposed OBJ
jections the paving of Church street
may be delayed several months. 1t
developed at last nights meeting of
city council that w. c. Wright whose
home is on Church street between Lee
and Prince streets, has set up the
unique objection that the lawn lying
between his property line and the
street property removes his lot from
abutting upon the thoroughfare to be
paved. He stated that he will carry
the matter into the courts before he
will pay any assessment levied against
his property.
This resulted in some discussion of
the point involved, and Chairman AL
lison, of the street committee, sug-
gested that the grass plot could be
entirely eliminated and the street
paved t. the line of the sidewalk
This, of course, would entail addition
al cost upon all the abutting proper
ty and it was suggested that instead
the plot be moved into the center of
the street and made into a small
park. Others present wanted to move
the sidewalk out to the edge of the
street and give title to the land ly-
ing between the present property line
and the street to the property own
ers, plan which it appears would be
advantageous to the objectors. Nearly
all of the homes along the block are
now situated very close to the pres
ent sidewalk, and to move this out
to the line of the existing curb would
result in front yards along the whole
block being enlarged by about 25

Senator Newberry appears well

There is always a scramble for the
end seat. It's great to sit beside a
real live senator, not to say a mil
lionaire, and particularly if there S
common bond of fellowship like a
grand jury indictment charging you
with felony.
"The boys" are glad to have the
senator sit beside them. Two of
them talked to him in corridor.
"Newberry's regular fellow
said one. Hes a commoner, he is.
This morning he was talking to a
couple of US and he says: Cheer up,
boys, I'm with you How's that?"

But that was just one mans opin-

his ready, detached smile and his af-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Dr. Hugh
S. Cumming, Hampton, Va, is to sue
ceed Surgeon General Rupert Blue,
U. s. Public Health Service, as soon
as the Senate confirms his appoint
ment. He was given this big job on
recommendation of Secretary of the
Treasury Glass.
DR.. Blue will remain in the service
as assistant surgeon general, doing
research work to find a method of
combating influenza
The new surgeon general took his
MD. degree from the University of
Virginia in 1894, passed the public
health service examination the same
year and entered as assistant sur
geon. In 1899 he passed the assis-
tant surgeon examination and in
1911 became a surgeon and in 1918
became assistant surgeon general in
the P. H. S. reserves. He is 81.
Just now Dr. Cumming is "some-
where in Europe" headquarters in
Paris. His chief interest in Europe
now is to prevent plaques that are in
Testing that part of the world from
getting to America.
1t is safe to say that DR.. Cum
ming's hobby, if he has one, is that
of segregating disease and quaran-
timing against it. Before the war he
was quarantine officer at Cape
Charles and at San Francisco. Prior
to that he was medical officer attach
ed to the local consul at Yokohoma,
Japan, and looked after the sanitary
