to 10 cents per kilowat hour for cleo

Several members of the House
committee were under the impression
that the Washington Railway and

When Mr.. Mapes asked IL the fare

Former Governor Osborn at
Newberry Trial Tells Of Me-
gotiations for Sale.
DECLINED TO CONSIDER IT
Testimony Brings Sharp Clash
Among Attorneys as Jury
Is Excused.
DECLINED TO CONSIDER 1T

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. IL.
The Newberry trial opened today
with both. the Government and de-
fense attorneys eager for the des-
perate legal bout that is to follow
the testimony of Chase R. Osborn,
former governor. What Osborn will
say when he is recalled is the sub
ject of wide speculation. He will
probably testify at the Friday or
Saturday sessions.
Senatorships we're selling for
$3.50 900 in Michigan in 1918, Osborn
told the jury yesterday.
Osborn's testimony proved such a
sensation that it all but disrupted
the hearing. At least twenty-five
defense attorneys were on their feet
at the same time, protesting against
admission OF the testimony. Judge
Clarence w. Sessions had no little
difficulty in restoring order.
The testimony was admitted only
after a legal battle between attor-
neys, during which the jury was ex-
cused.
Newberry Man Salesman
an February, 1918, l met Teeny
Daniels in Detroit" testified Osborn.
He asked me how the camaign was
coming. told him l ought to have
the support OF his organization. He
told me the Senatorship could be
bought for s15O.O00. / wanted to
know who the man was who could
deliver a Michigan Senatorship for
$3.50, 900. He referred me to Mark T.
Mckee, the law partner OF Paul II.
King, Newberry's campaign manager.
"I was curious, not because / had
$50. 900 to- spend for the office nor be-
cause / would have spent 1t II / had
had Il. merely wanted to know who
was selling Michigan senatorships.
Mckee came to see me. I told him
understood the senatorship could be
delivered for sl50,o0o.
Its too late now. Mckee told me.
For an instant a hush fell over the
courtroom. Then pandemonium. Mar
tin w. Littleton. chief counsel for the
defense. was on his feet objecting
Others followed him so closely no one
knew what was being said.
The court allowed the statement to
stand.
Osborn declared that Newberry

submitted to them by number.
A number of queries have come to
the Limerick Editor, particularly as
to whether the winner of one contest
can compete on another limerick.
The answer is yes. The rules of
the contest were made as simple and
clear as possible when IL was started,
and the plan was to make 1t as open
as possible. The only restriction
placed was that employees of The
Times and members of their families
should be barred. This. of course,
was done to avoid the possibility of
favoritism.
As showing the free -for-all char
acter of the contest, two of the three
contestants so far have been persons
who never had written a line for pub
lication before.
Warning to limerickers-you won't
get prize IL you don't sign your
name. About a dozen passable last
lines were thrown out yesterday be-
cause the writers in their eagerness
had forgotten to sign their work.
The judges are now busy trying to
decide limerick No. 4. Their decision
will be published tomorrow.

President of Brotherhood In
sists Order to Suspend viii
Not Be Recalled.
READY TO GO TO JAIL
Asserts Men Will Disregard Any
Power Denying Their Right
To Quit.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 11.--Allen
e. Barker. grand president OF the
Brotherhood of Maintenance Of Way
Employees declared today that his
organization would pay no atten-
ton" to any injunction issued by
any Federal Judge in this country
to prevent the strike Of 100000 of
his followers on February II.
THE Government when 1t suits the
purpose Of the fellows on the hill'"
he declared, tells US the war is over
and the Lever act does not apply,
and also when It suits their purposes
tells US the war Is not over and the
Lever act is effective. No injunction
will deter US. The strike order has
been issued and it cannot be re-
called"
-. Win Need Lot Of Jalls.
SrIaess Will need lot of jails." Bar
ker declared. commenting on the re-
port from Kansas that officials the-c
would invoke the new Industrial re-
lations law against members of the
brotherhood in that State who went
on strike. "We shall disregard any
power that tells us we are not free
to strike" he added.
Barker said that his organization
would not be influenced by any action
taken by any OF the other railroad
organizations in their controversy
with the railroad administration ever
wage demands.
The Washington times., 1920-02-11
BROTHERHOOD LEADERS
PREPARE FOR BATTLE

Director General Hines Of the Rail-
road Administration throws down
the gauntlet to the Brotherhoods to
day.
1t Is a foregone conclusion that
their wage demands are to be denied
and that the nnal bridge is to be
burned between the Government and
the specter Of a railroad strike.
Palmer Enters Fight.
Backing the Railroad Administra-
ton is Attorney General Palmer, who
proposes to fight the threatened rail
strike in exactly the same manner
that he fought the coal strike.
The brotherhood chiefs declare they
are not going into the coming strike
battle blindly. They assert absolute
confidence that Attorney General
Palmer will find himself baffled in
his legal fight, for they claim to have
prepared for every contingency. The
lessons of the coal strike have been
well learned, they say.
"Why, there is no need to call .
strike, so far as our rank and file
are concerned" says one of the
brotherhood leaders. "our men simply
will quit when they hear the news
from Washington. The Government
has not yet had the hardihood to
deny men the right to stop work
whenever they please to-"
To Use Lever Act.
The Department OF Justice intends
to use either the Lever act or the
railroad control act OF 1918, which
makes II criminal offense" for
any person to impede or obstruct the
operation OF the railroads, against the
railroad workers in the event of
strike.
Critics OF Mr.. Paimer's announced
policy say that the use OF the injunc-
tion power will be particularly futile
in the case of rail strike. because It
cannot prevent the rank and file from
stopping work and because only q
few days OF stoppage OF Transports
tion are needed to bring about n dan
gerous and intolerable economic situ-
alton throughout the country.
In some quarters Il is believed that
President Wilson will intervene with
a personal request to the brotherhood
leaders to desist from a strike and to
await the appointment OF n commits
sion which will adjudicate wages and
working conditions.
There are several reasons why the
trainmen may turn down such pre-
posal One is the fact that their de-
mands have been pending for nearly
a year. Another is that Congress
specifically refused to authorize such
a. commission last August, when the
President requested II to do so, and
declared the Railroad Administrators
had all the authority required under
the premises.

ent OF all the brotherhood leaders N
