PROSECUTION CONTINUES
TO PILE UP EVIDENCE
IN NEWBERRY CASE

Bv producing a letter from James
F. McGregor, Upper Peninsula Field
agent to Newberry in New York.
which said that the campaign was
progressing in the Upper Peninsula
and that many railroad and mining
companies had come out for New
berry, the prosecution yesterday
tried to show that Senator New
berry was aware of the amount OF
money being spent in his campaign.
A sensation of the day was the
testimony of William R. Barber OF
Harrisville, County Clerk of Alcona
County. Mr.. Barber testified that
BENJAMIN F. Reed, a Newberry field
agent and one of the indicted men,
had threatened him with defeat tol
reelection if he did not support
Newberry. ~ suggested a county
chairman to Reed, but he wanted me
to take the position" said Barber
81 told him I could not, for l had
friends among all the Senatorial
campaign workers. Reed told me
had better be careful, for Newberry
was organizing every county in the
State and that all kind of money
would be spent"
Roy E. Whlnney, a Deputy Sheriff,
admitted that he had worked for
Ch.cc S. Osborn in the Upper PENN
sula during the campaign and was
paid $40 day and expenses for nine
days.

REDFIELD STANDS
BEHIND LANSING

New York, Feb. 14.-The cabinet
meetings called by Secretary Lansing
were necessary if the nations busi-
ness was to proceed regularly" For
mer Secretary of Comperce William
C. Redfield declared in "a statement
here tonight in which he expressed
the belief that "other causes" than
the calling of the cabinet sessions by
Mr.. Lansing clay behind the presl-
dents request fer his resignation"
THE request for Secretary Lans-
ing's resignation was a great surprise
and shock to me-" said Mr.. Redfield,
who was a member of President Will
sons cabinet until November l last.
81 was present at the first meeting
of the cabinet under Mr.. Lansing.
The members sent word to Mr.. Will
son through Dr.. Grayson that they
were meeting, and expressed hope
that the president would have a
speedy recovery. Admiral Grayson
brought back an inquiry from Mr..
Wilson as to what business was on
hand, and the cabinet members re-
Piled that they had met in conference
IN determine their duty in view of
hic disability.
''No word of disapproval of our
meetings ever came from the White
House to the best of my knowledge.
The cabinet gatherings were volun-
tary, informal, and, to my mind, nee
essarv, ic the nations business was
to proceed regularly and with intelli-
gent knowledge of progress made.
''T accept my share of responsible
ty for what was done. To my know
ledge there was never the failtest
suggestion in word or spirit that the
cabinet members were trying to do
anything except help President
Wilson during his illness as far as
we were able.
"Of course, Lean speak only of
what happened up to the time Of my
withdrawal from the cabinet. AS the
published correspondence brings out,
I am forced to believe that other
causes than the request by Secretary
Lansing to his colleagues to meet
for consultation lay behind the presi-
dents request for his resignation"

prise today at the news Of the
resignation of Secretary Lansing.
"What did the cabinet do at the
conference?" he asked. "Does any
one know what they did that could
possibly have been displeasing? 1t
GEMS to me the most natural thing
lin the world for them to have met
under such circumstances"
The former president with a
chuckle disclaimed desire to express
any opinion on the theory that he was
an expert witness"
Tie former president spoke here
today.
! St. Joseph, Mo-, Feb. 14.-Willian
H. Taft, only living ex-president OF
the United States, said here late to-

New York, Feb. 14.-Referring to
the resignation of Secretary Lansing,
Speaker Gillett said:
81 have known him for many years
and while we differ politically, every
man felt easy in the trust committed
to his hands. l do not want to say
here anything of political signifi-
Icance, but it seems to me hard that
