The government forces also were fre- quently overruled when they tried to con- fine cross-examinaton of their witnesses to the material developed by direct ques- timing
 Defense attempts to search the motives of witnesses in certain campaign acts were, however, halted by the court. The defense contended that such testimony would go to the essence of the conspir- acy charge. but Judge Sessions ruled rsri it was not proper cross-examination.
 The question came up in the cross-ex- animation of Lyle Shanahan. an attor- ney from Charlevoix, and one of the or ganizers' of the committee of three whicl had charge of the Newberry campaign ir his county.

Washington, Sept. 7.-President
Wilson, in a proclamation Tuesday
urged state governors set apart Sat
urday, October q. as fire prevention
day and to request general obSer-
vance by the public.
The need for bringing before the

and collective effort in conserving
the natural and created resources Of
America" was said by the president
in his proclamation to be especially
urgent for the following reasons:
The destruction by fire in the
United States involves an annual
loss of life of $4,000 men. women and
children and over S25O,OO0O00 in
buildings. foodstuffs. and other Great
ed resources.
The need Of the civilized world for
American products to replace the
ravages Of the great war is especially
great at this time
The present serious shortage Of
hcmeS and business structures makes
the daily destruction of buildings By
fire an especially serious matter.
"A large percentage Of the fires
causing the annual American fire
waste may be easily prevented by in
creased care and vigilance on the
