Sale Of Property
Of Schuyler Mill
Go. Authorized
Judge Woodrough Signs De-
cree Relative to Bankrupt
Wells-Abbott-Nieman Firm
Stockholders to Lose.

Federal Judge Woodrough signed
Ia decree authorizing the public sale
/ OF all the property of the Wells-Ab-
bctt-Nienlan company yesterday aft
ernoon.
The largest property OF the bank
rupt company is the mill at Schuyler,
Neb, valued at several hundred
thousand dollars. The decree speci-
flies that one-fourth of the purchase
price must be paid in cash, and the
rest within 10 days, before contir-
nation. ~
1t is probable that the sale will
not take place for at least four weeks
as publication of the sale must be
made in Schuyler papers fox 1our
weeks, starting October Is.
All creditor claims against the
company must be filed by Decem-
Der l.
The company was thrown into
bankruptcy more than month ago
on petition of Carl Modesto, orc
of the stockholders. The Peters
Trust company and William J. Coad
are receivers.
The signing of the decree will
mean that stockholders will lose
everything and only creditor banks
will be paid.
An attempt was made to save the
company by reopening the Schuyler
mill on funds advanced by our
creditor banks, but four of these
banks withdrew support, deciding it
best to hold the sale.

conflicting along party lines were
presented today by majority and mi
nority members OF the senate priv
ieges and elections committee on the
Ford-Newberry 1918 senatorial elce.
ton contest from Michigan.
The majority report cleared Sena'
tor Truman II. Newberry. the re-
publican candidate. OF corruption and
all other charges and recommended
that he be legally seated. The dem
ocratic members, on the contrary
asserted that Senator Ncwberry was
elected By Corrupt and illegal meth
DDS and practices" and recommended
that his seat be declared vacant.
With the filing OF the reports the
case now goes to the senate for final
decision. which will probably not be
made for several weeks. In the
meantime. il is understood. Senator
Newberry will not attend the senate
sessions.
Agree on Two Issues.
Only on two major issues were
the republicans and democrats in
harmony in the reports filed today.
They agreed that Henry Ford, the
democratic contestant, had no. been
elected and. was not entitled to the
seat from Michigan. They also
agreed that too much money had
been spent in the Michigan primary.
The democrats. however. contended
that Senator Newberry was re-
sponsible, personally, for the expen-
ditures, while the republicans held
he was not.
Recommendations OF the majority
report were:
That the contest be dismissed and
that Newberry be declared elected
senator and that his qualification
has been conclusively established and
the charges made against him have
rot been sustained.

sented by Senator Pomereme.

Senators King, Utah, and Ashurst,
III lLoidp WSiS.
That the irregularities relate to
the primary and that Henry Ford
is not entitled to seat in the SEN
ate of the United States. The re-
port further says:
We find that corrupt and illegal
methods and practices were EN-
ployed at the primary election and
that Truman H. Newberry violated
the corrupt practices act and the
primary act of the state of Michigan.
and that by reason thereof, he ought
not to have or hold seat i'll the
senate of the United States and that
he is not the duly elected senator
from the state of Michigan, and we
recommend, therefore, that his seat
be declared vacant"
Separate Minority Report.
A separate minority report also
was submitted by Senator Ashurst
who declared Senator Newberry's
credentials were stained by fraud
and tainted by illegal expenditure of
The testimony showed, he said
that the 1918 Michigan campaign
"partook more of the character of
an auction than an election"
Both majority and minority men,
bers agreed that it was established
ronclusively that in the general cleo
ton Senator Newberry had received
a majority of the votes. Mr.. Ford's |
charges of bribery, illegal voting, un-
due influence and intimidation of
voters in the general election were
declared by the majority to be with
