HISTORY OF
THE CASE.

ended Is generally known, grew out or
one Of the hitterest campaigns ever waged
for a seat In the United States senate.
Truman II. Newberry and Henry Ford
were the leading contestants.
Neyberry, a member Of one OF Michi-
gan's oldest and. before thu auto industry
hit Detroit, wealthiest families; a mem.
Der Of the navy during the Spanish
American war; assistant secretary Of the
navy In Roosevclt's cabinet and an aid 10

during the world war, based his appeal
for election on a war platform.

turer. commander Of the Ford peace ship

war, leading pacifist, built his platform
ON support of President Wilson'S poll
cies
The Newberry supporters built up a
huge organization reaching into every
county, city and village in the state BY
their own admission S17s,0o0 was spent.
The government attorneys cOntended that
they had showed S225 600 was paid out 20
purchase seat in the senate for Com
mander Newberry. Testimony given az
the trial stated one defendant In n con
versation said he knew $500, 600 was spent.
NEwBERRY ACCUSED
OF LEADING PLOT.
Paul II. King headed the Newberry
campaign committee In Michigan. The
government claimed that Senator New
berry and Frederick Cody Matched the
alleged plot to corrupt the 1918 elections
in Michigan, while they resided In New
York They sent for King 20 come to
New York and made him manager OF
the campaign, the testimony showed
Newberry worked directly through
King in carrying out the details OF the
campaign. the government contended.
Correspondence which passed between
King and Newberry, as presented in the
trial by the defense, showed King wrote
as many as eight letters a day TO his
chief.
The case hinged on the question Of
whether or not Senator Newberry
caused to be expended" an amount in
excess Of the sum allowed by the Mchi-
gan statutes in procuring his election.
This amount is $3.50
The defense contended that Newberry
had nothing to do with the spending OF
the large sum Of money; declaring that
he did not contribute one cent to the
campaign fund and eyas not informed OF
the huge amounts spent In his behalf dur
ing the campaign.
a BFduu jury sulumoutu III lue du-
tumn Of 1919 returned indictments accus-
ing 1875 men Of conspiracy to violate the
federal statutes by spending an excess
sive amount of money in the campaign.
A conspiracy to defraud the whole state
of Michigan by using the mails in the
alleged fraudulent election scheme was
also charged.
These were the two main accusations
which went before the jury. Four other
indictments were either quashed or com
bined with these two principal charges.
The trial covered a period of eight
weeks. More than 400 witnesses testified
for the government and approximately
$50 for the defense.
King was the only leading defendant
to take the witness stand. He never
completed his testimony. After giving
his direct testimony. he suffered a phys
ical breakdown and was unable to pro-
coed with the\cross examination.

their escape in a Chevrolet car which
they stole in the town, were captured

read to the senate committee by Sec

and suggestions based on 'independ-

the Judgment of any one on that
side of the water" The admiralty
was helpless to the point of panic"
in the face of the existing submarine
situation, the message said.
Every plan we suggest, they re-

THREE WHITE CONVICTS.
FLEEING, CAUGHT HERE

ing oil. He suspected that the men
wanted were somewhere nearby in
the woods, and he rushed back to
Americus and obtained the track dog
which he put on the scent. While
following the dog in the woods he
took a short cut at one place and
suddenly came upon the three lying
on the grass where two of them were
still asleep. Drawing his pistol he
called for them to give themselves
up, which they did and he marched
them to Mr. Horne's farmyard where
they were searched. They were then
loaded into Deputy Summers car
and brought to Americas where they
were placed in Jail to await officers
from Pike county.
The three convicts were Grady
Davis and E. A. Daniel, serving from
one to three years for auto theft;
and A. j. Johnson, serving three to
five years for another offense. 1t
was coincidence that Davis and Dan
iel were originally arrested by Sheriff
Harvey and Deputy Summers here
last fall on warrant from Albany,
their escapade involving several au-
tomobile transactions in this vicinity,
including one at Souther Field. Davis
is said to have relatives in this vicini-
ty and Daniels home was formerly
near Plains, while johnson was sent
up from Columbus. 1t was expected
by officers that they would come in
this direction after their escape.

But He VIII Not Accept
Unless He's Sure He's
His Old Self
BY JAMES HENLE,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 12.-Ignace j
Paderewski has an offer of $1,000
600 from an American manager for
piano-playfng tour to include the
United States Canada and South
America. But he will not accept this
unless he can persuade himself that
he has retained all of his former
skill.
This will be more difficult for him
than for some artists. He is not ex-
traordinarily gifted by nature. He
has attained his eminence by unflag-
ging application and for nearly three
years he has hardly touched a piano.
Paderewski's hands are small for
those of an artist, at the height of
his career he could never span more
than an octave.
Coming to the u. S.
1t is probable that Paderewski will
come to this country soon and spend
the summer in California. If he feels
that he cannot give concerts he will
probably devote himself to compo-
sition
On his estate, Riond Bosom, at
Morges, Switzerland, Paderewski is
living in retirement.
He has given up his private fortune
of $2,000,000 merely for an idea.
For six years he has contributed ev.
cry dollar he has made-above his
bare living eXpenses-to this same
idea. He has received nothing tangi-
bfe in return.
But Ignace j. Paderewski has had
a large part in creating a nation.
The great pianist, once the darling
of society, the favorite of London, Of
Paris, of New York, of Chicago, OF
Vienna, of Madrid, is now living upon
the royalties from phonograph re.
cords and piano-player rolls.
He may never be able to play as
he once played. But Poland lives
and when her history is written Pad
erewski's name will be written in
huge letters.
Last Time in 1917.
The last time that Pederewski play.
ed in public was at the reception Civ.
en- to Marshal Joffre in the Metro
politan Opera House here, June
1917. The arrangements were bad
ly planned, and Joffre entered just al
the worlds premier pianist was play
ing Chopin's Polonaise Militaire
There was craning of necks to see
the veteran, and a rustic went about
the house. 1t was an embarrassing
moment. But Paderewski continued
to play.
''Finis coronat opus" he remark
ed when the finished. ("The enc
crowns the work.
WAS Honored."
When an apology was made to hin
for the interruption, he replied: g
was honored by being able to PLAY
the military march for the hero q
the Marne."
From that moment until he resign
ed the premiership of Poland on Dec
Ii, 1919, Paderewski had no time fol
the piano. His endeavors on behal-
of Poland and the Allies had begur
with the outbreak of the war.
Until America entered the war h,

BABY PARADE
DRAWS THRONC
TO PLAYGROUND
May Fete Great Success
Infant Prize Win
ners Announced
THE PRIZE WINNERS.

Most attractive carriage and baby
all ages-First prize, silver loving
cup, Mrs. Max Cawood; second, blue
ribbon, Mrs. Chas. Poole.
Same, for baby under six months
First prize, gold locket and chain,
Mrs. t. c. Tillman; second, blue rib
bon, Mrs. Marvin Yates.
Same, baby over six months-First
prize, gold pin, set with pearl, Mrs.
Mildred Luthy; second, blue ribbon,
Mrs. Thurlow Evans.
The baby who won the loving cup
is a girl, Lista Cawood, aged 20
months.
Mrs. Cargill stated this afternoon
that reports from committee chair
men showed receipts on hand from
the fete of $29O.25 with two commit
tees yet to report. These are expect
ed to bring the total to almost $500,
all of which will go to the playground
fund.
Il think we should call this the real
dedication of the Americas municipal
playground" was the remark of J.
Ralston Cargill Tuesday at the play
ground when the May Day fete, with
nearly 1000 Americas people looking
on, had gotten well under way. ''It
is the first event we have had," he
continued, that has brought the pub
lie generally together at the play
ground. That is the purpose and
spirit of ito provide place of
recreation where all may come and
feel part ownership and real in
terest. We have people here today
who have never been here before.
They will come back, now that they
have seen what is being accom-
plished."
And that was the big story of the
playground May Day fete. Of
course there was the BIG event, the
baby parade, gorgeously beautiful
pageant of be-ribboned, dimpled darl-
ings, riding in wonderful fairyland
creations fashioned from their baby
carriages, wagons, velocipedes or
what-nots; there was the crowning of
the charming and handsome queen of
the May, surrounded by her ten be-
witching maids of honor; there was
the Maypole dance, by a company
of most attractive girls just approach
ing womanhood; there were the folks
dances by score of smaller girls in
a series of costumes; there was the
Yama Yama dance by two charming
maidens in bewitching attire; there
were the school boys overall brigade
on parade; and there were the Boy
Scouts in stunts. 1t was a program
of two hours of pleasing entertain
ment, which seemed to tire no one de-
spite the fact that there were no seats
available, the exercises being held in
the open on the level field of the play
ground area. But the representative
attendance and the manner in which
the whole affair pleased were the most
important, although less conspicuous,
features of the afternoon.

The program staged under the di-
