That Was Just Before Newberry

Grand Rapids. Mich. Feb. IL
The Newberry trial opened today with
both the. government and defense at
forneys eager for the desperate legal
bout that is to follow the sensational
testimony of Chase S. Osborn, former
governor.
The Osborn testimony is the sole
subject of discussion in Grand Rapids.
What Osborn will say when he is re-
called is the subject of wide specula-
ton. He will probably testify at the
Friday or Saturday sessions.

the senatorship could be bought for
$3.50, 000,r declared Osborn on the
stand. Il was curious to know who

London, Feb. 11.-'Labor will take

Commenting ION Premier Lloyd

which he expressed his intention of
bringing up his new Irish home rule
bill during the present session of par
lament, Henderson, asserted the pre-
Miners plan did not have a single
friend in ireland, Lloyd Georges pro-
gram will not solve the Irish problem,
he asserted.
With the reopening of parliament
speculation on the Irish question was
rife in all quarters. Officials close to
no change in his plans. His policies
will be carried out, they said unless
the coalition government is over
thrown.
s'Protectorate Only Favored.
Reports of an announcement by
president" De Valera of the Irish
republic that he favored a British
protectorate similar to that which the
United States exercises over Cuba,
were characterized by officials as the
"sanest utterances the president has
made" They saw in it willingness
to make concessions" Laborites.
however, expressed their unaltera BILE
opposition to the premier's Irish pro-
gram. Government officials said sup
port of the premier's plan was certain
in Ulster and that while it might not
meet favor in Irish nationalist quar-
tiers, nobody had been able to offer a
better solution.
The section of the premier's speech
| devoted TO the Russian situation in
which he. said resumption of trade
with Russia by the allies was the
| sanest course to follow brought divided
| opinion from the press today.

at least one power is returning to
sanity the Daily News asserted.
while the Daily Mail believed that
the government lives in another

work and strive"

Sven Lofquist, However, Reported
Recovering at Local Hospital.

Sven Lofquist, upholsterer, supposed
to have been the victim of wood alco-
hol poisoning Monday night, was re-
ported to be recovering rapidly this
morning at a local hospital. Symp-
toms of blindness and paralysis, re-
ported to be the results of wood alco-
hol sprees, were missing.
Lofquist was found lying uncon-
seious at o'clock Monday night in
front of the Masonic temple excava-
ton on Tenth avenue. A bicycle he
had been riding was found on the
curbing.
In his room, No. II veale block,
Quincy street, was wash basin partly
filled with q dark liquid. This wac
reported to be wood alcohol and grape
juice. A dozen pieces of cinnamon
bark were floating in the dish.
There was a not in Swedish, which
when translated read:
Mia is at Larson's. If you can,
come over"
Roomers reported that Lofquist
spent his morning hours in his room
with a woman. Police records show
that on March 90, 1913, Lofquist was
arrested with a Mrs. Mia Bostrum on
a charge preferred by her husband.
In August, 1919, the police arrested
Lofquist on a drunkenness charge He
had been drinking wood alcohol at
