Republican A. p. Leased wirel

GRAND RAPIDS, Mlcn- FeD. b.
 What three NeWberry men told the grand jury which returned indictments against them, the Michigan senator and 131 other campaiSnerS of 1918, was told in the trial Of the case today.
 The revelations of the inquisitorial proceedings came from C. R. Higbee, clerk Of the grand jury and Charles $. Potts. member of the body.
 They said the defendants whose testimony they rehearsed had waived immunity, testified voluntarily without receiving promises of any kind and with full Knowledge that what they told the grand jurors might be used for all purposes" The defense fought hard to keep the testimony from the trial jury. Martin W. Littleton was on his feet constantly questioning the admissibility Of the evidence. He was overruled on the exclusion question, but Federal Judge Sessions held that the testimony could be considered in the proceedings only against the three defendants whose grand jury testi- mony was rehearsed.
 Another struggle over the same testimony is probab for tomorrow as the defense reserved it's cross eX- animation until that time. The grand jury witnesses were subjected to close examination by Mir. Littleton be- fore they were allowed to answer ques- tions asked by Frank C. DaiIey for the government.
 Potts and Higbee related the grand jury testimony of John M. Harris, for mer probate judge at Boyne City, Terry c. Corliss, a member of the state board of auditors, and James R. Davis of Lansing, sergeant nt-at-arns in the state senate.
 The witnesses agreed that Judge Harris told the grand jury he had re- ceived $500 in salary and half that amount for expenses.
 Terry Corliss' account of his activi- ties in the campaign as related by Higbee and Potts told of similar negotiations with King and agreements to work for $75 a week and expenses.
 James Davis according to the wit neSSeS, had charge Of the Newborn campaign in the southern tier Of coun- ties and his compensation was $500 c month.

U. $. WHEAT DIRECTOR OPPOSES MEASURE ID END GRAIN CONTROL
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-JuIius H. Barnes, United States wheat director, tonight made public d letter to Senator Gronna, in which he terms the latter's bill for the repeal of the wheat guar antee act and the abolition of the grain corporation a direct repudiation ot the pledge made by congress to the wheat producers for the crop of 1919.
 Senator Gronna's bill, which has been favorably reported by the senate agricultural committee, repeals all gov ernment control over the price of wheat and requires the grain corporation to wind up it's affairs without delay
 MT. Barnes asserts that at a time when no one can accurately predict the trend of prices, Senator Gronna apparently feels such confidence in his own Judgment that the farmer will benefit by the withdrawal of govern ment stabilization that he would imrne- diately take from the wheat producer the protection of the billion dollar guarantee, which congress has pledged itself to give until June l. The wheat director gave warning that by abolish ing government support congress may precipitate still further decline in the price Of wheat even below that of the guaranteed price. He adds that ''only the most colossal egotism would presume to forecast the course of prices in the face of world wide unset t1ement, which within the past few days has wrecked the United States export trade by total collapse of over seas finance
 If congress should repudiate it's own pledge to the farmer, MT Barnes adds the possibilities of depreciation in value after the withdrawal of the gov ernment guarantee are such that six million farmers will ask congress .'by what right it repudiated the pledged national guarantee on the underlying foundation of which the influence O. supply and demand has built a average premium of 30 cents per bushel.

NEW YORK IN GRIP
 OF STORM WITH M
 PROMISE OF RELIEF
lRepublican A..P. Leased Wirel


 NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-New York still was stormbound late tonight and there was small prospect of relief.
 Generalization of transit lines of all kinds was almost unprecedented. Ons the subways were maintaining regular schedules. Surface cars had almost ceased to operate
 So serious was the .si+ua sion thas Mayor Hylan issued proclamation late today calling upon all persons en- gagged in the transportation business except in the delivery of foedstuffs coal and milk, to turn their trucls and laboring forces over to the city to meet the storm emergency.
 The street cleaning department ad- mitted that il was virtually helpless because of it's inability to hire men From 15 cents to S1 an hour was of feEed for snow Shoveiers. but only 3s00 of the 14.O0o men needed could be re- cruited.
 The problem of distributing the city food supply also had become se- rious- Milk trains arrived very irregu- iarly today and trucks loaded with sl, kinds of groceries and produce made their rounds with the utmost diff culty.
 Dozens. of. persons. were ia jured. to- day. many seriously, by falling cop ings, awnings. cornices and marqufses carried down by weight of snow.

EDUCATION NEEDED
 ID ASSIST LAW IN
 CURLING RADICALS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Stringent laws and strict enforcement of them will not curb radicalism, but education must walk hand in hand with law, Charles D. Newton, attorney general of New York. today told the house judiciary committee which is consider ing anti-sedition legislation.
 Though differing with the New York attorney general in the extent and seriousness of the radical movement, Francis Fl. F. Kane, who resigned as district attorney for eastern Pennsyl vania because he differed with the de- partment of justice in it's campaign against the reds agreed that educa ton was needed because many mem bers of the communist, communist labor and other radical parties were ignorant of the purposes of the organ izations and signed membership cards under false assumptions
 Former District Attorney Kane told the committee he saw no menace to the country whatever in the way of radical ism, much of that which is said and written on the subject being mere bunk"
 From the New York attorney gen. eral, however, the committee got a diff ferent view. Five hundred thousand radicals had orgse1ized in New York with the plan of overthrowing the gov ernment, he said, adding that unless congress and the American people soon awaken to the danger it will be too late to stop their activities.

WASHINGTON, Feb - Severe storms raging over practically the en- tire eastern half of the United States has cut seriously into the operation of railroads. Director General Hines re- ported tonight.
 Trains were running late on nearly every division east of the Mississippi river. Coastwise shipping, d neces- sary link in the railroad transporta- tion chain. was demoralized, traffic be- ing completely tied up in some in stances.
 These conditions. MT. Hines said have been further complicated by the spread or influenza among railroad employees. The New York Central lines alone reported today more than 1000 employees i'll with the disease
 Maintenance of passenger train schedules has been increasingly diff cult, trains being forced to reduce speed to avoid accidents and blow through snow drifts. Tracks have been washed away in many places. Reports from the middle vest indicate inn provement in traffic movement aI- though it is still admittedly slow. Re cent storms which covered the terri tory from the Canadian border as far south as Kansas and Colorado wrought havoc with the whole transportation system but abatement of the storm has permitted maintenance and repair work to be resumed
