NEW TREATY DELAY SEEN
Democrats Believe Opponents
Hope for It's Withdrawal by

Washington, Feb. 20.--That the Re-
publicans of the Senate are quite willing
to kill time and not press the peace
treaty in the hope that President Wilson
will withdraw itr in connection with the
Adriatic controversy is the impression
gaining ground among certain of the
Senate Democrats.
Senator Lodge, after an illness Of one
day, returned to his desk yesterday, but
the peace treaty was not placed again
before the Senate. The upper chamber
continued to debate an appropriation bill
and there was no worthwhile develop
ment in the treaty situation. 1t is proba-

the matter.

TW0Cl ClERGYMEN NAMED
IN REWbERRY BRIBERY
One Said to Have Taken $25 for
Gasoline; Other 500 for
Manse Repairs.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 20.-1he
prosecution in the Newberry trial put in
grand jury testimony, yesterday, showing
the statement of some Is minor defendants
before the grand jury in which they adj
mitted getting small sums for county
work. In nearly all instances, it Is charged,
no reports were made of their expense.
There was no cross-examination.
Dewitt Brown, Deputy Game Warden,
Menominee, indicted, said in his grand
Jury testimony that man named Harris
told him Roger NJ. Andrews, publisher
of two newspapers and Newberry Upper
Peninsula manager, also indicted, Kot
$50. 900 for his part in the campaign. This
testimony was permitted TO stand only
as matter of information.
Brown referred to his own part in the
campaign and admitted he received a
small sum OF money, the testimony
showed, but was made a deputy game
warden.
Henry A. Montgomery, former news
paper man and Chase S. Osborne's pub
licity agent in the Senatorial campaign,
testified that Milton Oakman, Wayne
county clerk at that time and defendant
Newberry. This statement, he said, was
made the night of the primaries, and
Montgomery was not sure if OalSman
was kidding" him.
"How much did you get for your work.
Montgomery said Oakman asked him at
a saloon party.
81 got nothing" said the witness
''Oakman then said You are blanked
fool Why don't you look out for your
self? / do. got $40, ,0OO.' But, on pre-
vious meetings, OaBman told me he was
not getting anything" said Montgomery.
The prosecution offered this testimony
to show that Oakman and Others had
made a deal with Newberry early in the
campaign on their first trip to New York
to see Newbeny.
MANY employees in the county clerks
office at the time Oakman was clerk were
called to show that Oakman had urged
them to support Newberry. Many of the
witnesses were unwilling, and attorneys
for the prosecution worked hard all day
to get from witnesses full statements. So
wearing was the work that court ad-
Journed at o'clock.
Judge Sessions spoke twice TO witnesses
as TO their testimony. The first caution
was when the Rev. Benjamin Jones of the
not sure he could remember getting
in which he was told Newberry had given
500 to help fix up the manse in response
to solicitation on political grounds from
Jones.
do you not identify this letter from
Newberry?" asked Daley.
The Rev. Mr.. Jones said it might be
copy for all he knew.
'|Didn't YOU tell Hobson and myself
very recently this letter came to you from
Newberry during the campaign"
Cant say; maybe / did, but | can't
identify that letter as the one. 1t may
be-
DALEY then asked if the witness was
even sure he ever got letter from New
berry.
Judge Sessions said the witness could
say Yes" or NO if he got letter from
Newberry.
Yes, | think that is the letter / got. I"
said Jones.
We'll, why did you not say so, then?'
said Judge Sessions.

BY Priscilla Dean

"Is beauty only skin deep?"
l once asked that question of a
famous beauty specialist.
Indeed, it is not" she replied.
Beauty of the skin is evidence Of
good respiration and sound body
structure; beauty of the countenance
indicates sweet soul and beauty of
form results from wholesome activi-
ties. 1t cannot be disputed that all of
these are more than surface quail
ties"
So the old adage about beauty being
only skin deep can be cast into the
rubbish heap.
We know that the eyes are windows
of the soul. Through them is re-
fiected the light which radiates from
within How the flash when we are
angry; how dim they become when we
are sad. There are people who try to
conceal their true characters and, in
cidentally avert wrinkles by training
their faces to be immobile and ex-
pressionless Few, if any really sue
ceed For, whether person wills or
not, the face sooner or later becomes
indelibly stamped with its owners
personality. An inexpensive counte-
nance effectually hide passing emo
lions, it cannot veil the natural curve
and contour of features and the effect
of those emotions on the mind and dis
position.
Did you ever notice the perfect re-
pose manifested in the faces of re-
ligious and other thoughtful, we'll disci-
plined people? One often speaks OF
the former as beautiful when, speak

ing from an artistic standpoint, many
have irregular features and pronounced
defects. One can also notice a re-
rose and immobility of countenance
in well-trained sevant or clever rogue
but one seldom speaks of them as
beautiful, even though their features
may be regular and their compilations
good.
Why? Because in the case of the
religious and studious people the mos.
abiding emotions are of the higher
order, peaceful, Intellectual and up
lifting. The emotions of the latter are
exactly the opposite and are disturbing
influences mentally, even if the face
is trained to remain impressive.

Adequate Wiring
At Home

To get the full advantage out OF
electric appliances it is necessary to
have adequate wiring and wall recep-
tacles. For instance, each room in
which vacuum cleaner can and is
used should have an outlet in the wall
to which the vacuum cleaner can be at
tached. To take out a lamp socket
is not the best practice.
The cheapest time in which to ade-
quately wire the home at the least in
convenience is when the house is first
built The home builder should care
fully look after his electric wiring and
see that it is adequate. 1t is estimated
that the ordinary home for family OF
six ought to have at least 81 convent
ence outlets.
