Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, May 2.-Decision to.
day by the supreme court freeing
Senator Newberry Of Michigan fr~S
the sentence of two years in the peas
tentiary for alleged violation OF the
federal corrupt practices act is of far
reaching import.
In declaring the corrupt practices
act void the court has raised the
question OF the power Of congress to
regulate primaries for the nomination
OF federal officers and of the possible
necessity of a constitutional amend
ment to provide such authority, paI-
ticularly to enable the creation OF
national primary for the nomination
of candidates for president. Sixteen
other defendants in the Ncwbertv
case will also go free as result OF
the supreme courts decision. = The
nine members OF the supreme court
were unanimous as to the reversal
of conviction in Senator Newberry's
case, but they arrived at this COR
clusion through widely separated
channels OF legal reasoning.
Hold Law Void.
The majority opinion. delivered BY
Justice McReynolds, held that the fed
eral corrupt practices law under
which Mr.. Newberry was convicted
was unconstitutional. Five justices,
including Justice McReynolds, CON
Cured i'll this opinion. Four of the
five took the ground that congress
had no constitutional authority at the
time OF the passage of the corrupt
practices act i'll 1910, to enact sucl,
law. One of the five, Justice McKen-
ma, agreed to this, but reserved his
opinion as to whether congress has
not the power now since the adop-
tion of the 18th amendment to the
constitution in 1918, providing for the
direct election of senators, to pass
laws regulating primaries for the
nomination OF senators.
Three justices, in dissenting opir-
ion read by Justice Pitney, held that
congress, under the provisions of thu
original constitution had the power to
regulate primaries. Chief Justice
White concurred in this contention
generally, but expressed his views III
another dissenting opinion
Retrial Is Ordered.
All four of the dissenters held
however, that the conviction should
be set aside and the case retired be-
cause of error in submission to the
/ jury.

OF the supreme courts decision Sen
ator Hiram Johnson of California an
nounced that he would introduce

NoCompromise
In Ship Dispute
Benson Asserts
Call on ''All Loyal Citizens to
Rally to the Support of
Their Flag'-Davis
Seeks Compromise.

Washington, May 2.-Announcing
a policy of no compromise on the Is
per cent wage reduction in the set
tlement OF the controversy between
the shipping board, American steam
ship owners and Marine workers,
Chairman Benson tonight called on
"all loyal citizens to rally to the
support of their flag
Full protection" he said, will be
given by the shipping board to all
those who come to its assistance in
keeping ships in operation
Economic conditions fully justify,
he said, the readjustment in wage
scales and working conditions as
made effective by the board May l.,
when the old agreements expire and
the gratifying success" with which
the boards efforts to keep its ships
in operation are meeting, he added,
indicates that the men aboard ship
agree with the position taken by the
board. The chairman said he was
willing to meet and talk with the
union heads here but not to nego-
tiate on a wage reduction.
Chairman Benson's statement was
made after conference with Secre-
taries Davis and Hoover, although
none would discuss the conference.
In spite OF the stand taken BY Chair
man Benson, Secretary Davis con-
tinued his efforts to settle the dis
pute by conciliation. He called w.
s. Brown, president of the Marine
Engineers Beneficial association, in
to conference at which present
wage scales and working conditions
were discussed. Indications were
that the secretary was pursuing the
methods he has followed in previous
labor disputes, of talking separately
with representatives of the contend
ing factions in an effort to obtain
concessions from each that would be
acceptable to the other.

They are the Lady Emus birds, &C
cording to Bronx Zoo attendant,
that they are just like ostriches, only
different.
Mamma Emu has reversed the
table entirely on the old man. The
Emus at the zoo have a flock OF

known kind of eggs.
Ever since the origin of this
species" says Curator Crandall, "the

ter half to do all the work. They
are the original suffragets."

Bergdon nCiven
His Release by
Maj. Gen. Harris
Tells House Committee of Re-
leasing Draft Dodger to
Search for Pot of
Buried Gold.

Washington, May Maj. Gen. P
C. Harris, adjutant general Of the
army, told house investigating COM
mittee today that he was responsible
for the release under guard OF Grow
er c. Bergdoll, convicted draft
dodger, to go out secretly and hun,
for a pot of buried gold in the noun
tains of West Virginia. Bergdoil
never returned from the chase.
1t was on the plea of Samuel 7.
Ansell, formerly acting adjutant gen
eral of the army, General Harris
testified, that the prisoner was Net
out The general said he had been
assured by Mr.. Ansell, attorney for
Bcrgdoll, that the story of the hid
den treasure was true and that he
would be sent back.
General March asked me if l
knew of any objection to granting
the request" the witness testified,
"and l replied that Mr.. Ansell
thought Bergdoll had hidden about
$150O00 in gold, and General March
said go ahead or words to that ef-
feet. | did not go to the chief OF
staff for authority for the act. The
order was written by my assistant
and I approved it."
Queried on Secrecy.
Former Brig. Gen. ]. H. Sher-
burne of Boston, counsel for the COM
nlittee, and members wanted to know
why the expedition was surrounded
with such secrecy. The general said
he assumed, at least. that the pris-
oner's family was respectable and
that he would be Inundated if Re
was seen travelling under military
guard.
"Was there any sympathy year
ago for this draft evader." asked
Mr.. Sherburne.
There was no sympathy for him.
l believe he was entitled to the same
consideration as other prisoners"
"Then there was no suggestion as
to why the authorities were directed
to avoid publicity except to spare the
feelings OF the Bergdoll family?"
Chairman Peters asked.
The general replied that if the
newspapers had got hold of the facts
they would have given the trip con-
siderable publicity.
Westcott's Name Used.
The name of ]. w. Westcott OF
New Jersey. described as the man
who had placed Woodrow Wilson in
nomination at the Baltimore and St.
Louis convention, was brought into
the hearing as one OF Bergdolfs
lawyers. -
Previous to Bergdolps escape
and while the lawyers were prepar-
ing to appeal from the five-year SEN
tence,' General Harris testified, Mr..
Ansell told me the Secretary of War
would remember Mr.. Westcott as he
had nominated President Wilson
This was done, l suppose, to show
his prominence as all attorney. | did
see correspondence between the
secretary and Westcott. After Berg
dolls escape l heard that about a
month before Westcott had seen the
secretary in connection with the ap-
peal"
WAS Mr. Westcott to see the sec
retarv to determine what answer the
army would maker" the witness was
asked.
"He wanted the secretary to give
| the case his personal attention.

Sleepy sickness was first noticed in
