NEWBERRY CASE
ARE DISMISSED
Judge Sessions UphoIds Au-
thOrity Of Congress to Re-
guIate Election Laws.
TRIAL COMMENCES JAN. 27

~ Associated Press
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Jan. -.
The authority OF congress to regu-
late not only the election of IS mem
bers but their nomination as well
was upheld by Federal Judge C. W.
Sessions here Monday. in dismissing
a general demurrer 10 indictments
against Truman II. Newberry. United
States senator from Michigan and
l3f others charged with violation of
the election laws. As a result of
the decision the trial will commence
as scheduled on January p.
In arguing for dismissal Of the in
dictments counsel for the defendants
attacked the constitutionality of the
general election laws and the appli-
cation TO the present case of the
mail fraud section of the United
States criminal code.
PASSES Over Counts
Judge Sessions passed over the
counts charging violation of the post
al laws with the statement that any
fraud. no matter what its nature if
the mails are used in its further
ance comes within the meaning of
that section Of the criminal code.
The attack upon the first four
counts Of the Indictments the court
said. were the important issues rails
cd in the demurrer. These counts.
however, were based upon the ad-
mitted authority OF congress to enact
legislation governing election and
nomination Of its members the court
ruled
Explains Laws.
Considering the federal election
laws i'm conjunction with the state
statutes, Judge Sessions declared"it
Is clear If they are valid that the
respondent, Truman r. Newberry
could not lawfully give or cause to
be given any sum in excess of $3.50.
one-half of the annual salary OF
member OF congress. in procuring his
nomination and election and some
such sum could be expended for no
other purposes than those enumerat-
Cd IN the statutes Of Michigan.
The Indictment charged that be-
tween 100000 and S1,OOO.OOO were
expended on behalf of Sen. New
berry during the 1918 campaign.

USES BUBONIC PLAGUE
SERUM TO CURE FLU.
Paris Physician Finds Remedy After
Experimenting on Self and
HaStn't Lost Case.
Especial Cable TO the Hernld !

PARIS. Friday.-The recurrence Of the
influenza epidemic on a large scale in
Europe and America has directed special
attention to discovery OF Paris phv-
sican who. after long continued expert
ments claims to have found a remedy for
grip in its various forms. This consist Z
simply of hypodermic injections, OF -le
anti-plague serum produced at the Pas
teur Institute here.
While not going so far az to assert that
grip really Is form of bubonic plague.
Dr. Charles Foley, the discoverer OF the
remedy. points out that the same serum
may be applied successfully In the same
group OF diseases. His experiments began
on himself. following a laboratory acct
dent in October. 1915. i'm which he inocu.
lated himself with iLiiuenza microbes.
lie demonstrated that the anti-plo que
serum, which acts as n preventive OF
plague also cures grip.
Incidentally DR. Foley declares that
encophalitis letlargca, or sleeping sick
ness, is not TO be taken nghtly, as it has
been heretofore, for it is serious phase
OF the influenza attack, frequently having
fatal results.
SO far not single case has been lost by
Dr. Foley, who regards his remedy as
sovereign. Tho Polish government has
called upon him to undertake a fight
against tho plague IN that country and he

Maine Governor to
Learn State Rights
Confers with Charles E. Hughes on
Legality of the Prohibition
Amendment.

Governor Alillikeu and Attorney General
st Urgis OF Maine. conferred with Charles
Y. Hughes here yesterday TO learn the
rights Of states which ratified the phori-
tition amandment TO the constitution. -
while Rhode Island is trying TO find out
from the United states supreme Court
the rights of those which did not ratify IT.
This was the only comment Governor
NIillken would make on his purpose IL
taking counsel with Mr.. Hughes. although
he added the explanation that III there
o. chance to put another stone on John
Barleycorn's grave, I'm for it, Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Sturgis were even mort
reticent
The Governor declined 20 discuss the
report that he had asked the Governors
OF moro than n score Of states 20 meet him
here for the conference with Mr. Hughes.
Themnderstanding was that Mr. Milllken
had asked concerted action on the part of
the Governors Of States which have ref
erendum clauses in their constitutions.
The antl-prohibtion forces have contendcd
that action in these states in ratifying the
amendment without submitting IL TO a ref1
crendum was invalid, and court action al
ready has been instituted In several states
to test this contention.
IT was lea rncd that the Association Op-
posed to National Prohibitions has given
notice Of It's intention 10 petition the Maine
Supreme Court. probably next month. for

Flames Sweep the Vanderbilt
Galleries in Federation

"LIFE" MODELS FLEE
Lightly Clad They Make Their
Escape from the Students
Glasses.

Art treasures OF an estimated minimum
value Of $4,000 were destroyed by a fire
which wrecked the galleries in the Fed
GRAFTON of Fine Arts Building, at No. 2l5
West Fifty-seventh street. yesterday
Damage to the building itself
viii probably bring the total loss oc-
casioned by the fire to s1.0O0coO. Paint
ings. sculptures, tapestries and architec-
tural designs by we'll known artists fur
nished priceless food for the flames,
which reduced the art galleries TO n
charred mass in half an hour. Practically
all Of the art objects had been assembled
at the Fine Arts Building for the thirty
fifth annual exhibition of the Architcc-
tural League of New York, which was to
have opened at the very hour that the
fire started.
Not enough of the exhibition was left
to fill two by four space. All the art
objects were on exhibition at the risk of
the owners, and it was said that in prac-
ticaly every case there was a total loss.
The fire was discovered n few minutes
before ten o'clock, just as the officers
of the Architectural League were busy
putting the final touches on the eXhibi-
ton. 1t is believed that defective insua-
ton was the cause. Russell +. White
head and Chamberlain Dodd, of tho
league. who were first to see the blaze
creeping among the tapestries in the Van
derbilt Galleries. divided their attention
between an attempt a eXtinguishing the
blaze and warning the nine hundred
young men and women members of the
Art Students League who were attending
classes i'm the main section Of the build
ing. The students marched from the
building into West Fifty-seventh street
in orderly fashion and without panic.
Models Flee, ScnntiIy Clad.
The fire was extinguished before il
reached the class rooms Of the Art stu
dents League. which are on tho upper
floors Of tho Fifty-scventh street section
OF the building. Several models who had
been posing in life" classes were forced
to make hurried exits in rather scanty
draperies.
There was no possible chance TO save
any OF the exhibits. Tho flames filled
the open spaces Of the galleries in an in
credbly short time. and by half-past ter
clock all that was left was n mass OF
charred. blackened and cracked pieces OF
sculpture.
Mr.. Whitehead. chairman OF the Cata-
logtIe and Press Committee. said that the
loss could be placed at 4 minimum OF 9
million dollars. Arthur Crisp. vice presi
dent of the league, said that the tota
damage might run as high as million
and a half. "Of course he added, "tht

Bipartisan Committee Aban-

LODGE STANDING FIRM
Won't Accept Any Change in
Article X. and Monroe Doc
trine Reservations.
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

Especial Despatch TO the Herald).
WASHINGTON. d. c., Friday.-Hope of
settling the controversy over the peace
went glimmering today, when the in
formal bipartisan committee, consisting
of four Republican and five Democratic
Senator's finally abandoned it's work and
agreed to adjourn sine die
Everything now points to a renewal of
next two weeks. Ratification of the treaty
depends upon the complete surrender OF
the Democrats and their acceptance Of the
Lodge reservation programme or the col
lapse OF the strong group of Republicans
who have announced their determinat ton
tions are changed So long as President
Wilson continues to maintain his uncom-
promising attitude there seems to be little
chance Of Democratic surrender The
Republicans apparently are more stanch-
ly in favor of the Lodge programme than
ever. Therefore no means of breakinV
the deadlock are apparent at this time.
After the announcement that the BIZ
partisan conference mad blown up. SEN
ator Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, the admin
istration leader. stated that Senator
Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, would give
formal notice in the Senate tomorrow Of
his intention to move on February 10 to
resume consideration of the treaty. SEN
ator Hitchcock is counting on enough Re-
publican mild reservationists" joining
with the forty-three pro-treaty Demo-
Gratis to give the necessary majority to
carry the motion.
Wrecked on Two Rocks.
The bipartisan committee was wrecked
on tho rocks of Article " of the league
covenant and the Monroe Doctrine. The
Democrats insisted the pledge given by
President Wilson to protect the terri
tcrial integrity of the league members
must not be impaired. The Republicans
would not agree to any pledge OF this
nature. The Democrats also demanded
that the Lodge reservation which would
give the United States the sole right to
interpret the Monroe Doctrine be stricken
out. The Republican reply was a point
blank refusal.
Senators Lodge and Hitchcock. on be-
half of the committee, gave out state
