NEWbERRY IS
KENYON CHARGE
Iowa Republican SEN
ator Says He Would
Be Ousted if Democrat
Seating Michigan Man
Tends to Undermine
Government, He Adds

Washington, Dec. 16.-Declaring the
money spent in Senator Newberry's
campaign for election to the senate
from Michigan shows the "entire elec-
tion to be tainted" Senator Kenyon,
republican, Of Iowa, asserted in q
speech, In the senate Wednesday,. Oh
the Ford-Newberry election contest,
that if that body voted to seat the
Michigan senator 1t would be under
mining the foundations Of this gov
ernme ent."
"The rule of the people is gone, "
Senator Kenyon said, if the senate
"justifies the expenditure of hundreds
of thousands Of dollars to secure a
seat here"
While the federal act limiting cam
paign expenditures has been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court
since the Newberry campaign, the
senator. declared, it was in effect at
that time, and SO, he added, 1--WE find
the common laws, the federal statute
and the state statutes all violated, the
latter openly, notoriously SO. The
record shows an expenditure Of at
least $263.OO0," Senator Kenyon said,
the testimony it is shown much
larger sum was expended
"If the record showed the expendi-
ture Of million dollars for Mr.. New
berry," the senator continued, II be-
lieve the senate still would seat him"
'The social lobby has been active
in this case and the social lobby is ef-
fective. No argument here is going to
change any votes.
THE matter is pushed at time
when the country can know but little
about it, If Mr.. Newberry were a
democrat he would be promptly voted
out under this record. Some of the
democrats would be found stoutly de-
Tending him.
"a large part of the press Of the
state was subsidized in the Newberry
campaign. At least $4,000 was
spent for publicity purposes. Two hum
dred and one papers were secured.
Mr.. Ford is brought in as a smoke
screen in the matter. Ford will not
secure this seat. If Ford ever said
the things that have been charged he
said about the American soldiers, he
would not have vote in this body. /

he ever said the things that have been

i realize that the stage is COM
pletely set for this performance. The
senate today does not stand any too
well with the people of the United
States. When the brand of approval
was put upon the Stephenson cam
paign in Wisconsin, the senate suf-
fered in the opinion Of the country.
When the brand of approval of the
Newberry campaign is now placed by
the senate upon his seat it will suffer
still more. The price of senatorial

Georgian Testifies to
Senate Quiz Beaten
Man Was Murdered.
Telegram From Anoth~
er Offers to Come and
Back Up the Charge.

Washington. Dec. 21.-Failure Of a
number of witnesses to appear LED
Wednesday. to the adjournment until
January Of the public hearings being
conducted by senate committee into
charges made by Senator Watkins, Of
Georgia, that. American soldiers were
hanged without trial in France.
After adjourning, the committee went
into executive session to determine
what action should be taken in the
case Of several witnesses who. when
subpoenaed, had telegraphed that they
would not respond.
Called as witness, Marion J. wal
lace. of Athens, Ga, declared he saw
a corporal shoot and kill a private sol
der at Camp Wheeler. Va. The wit
ness said he did not serve overseas aDd
had no evidence bearing on executions
On foreign soil The corporal, be said,
was named Crawford and the man
shot, he thought, was Private HALEY,
of Tampa, Fla.
Wallis read from letter from one
of his comrades at Sandusky. Ohio, at
tacking officers from Georgia, and
stating 'he would get even some day."
"Some of these Georgia officers
were pretty bad from that" Wallis
was asked.
Killed Because III, One Wires
'sYes indeed" he replied.
."This seems to be Georgia family
row." said Senator Ernest, Republican.
Kentucky, and Senator Watson joined
in the laughter.
At this point Senator Watson Of
fered telegram received from James
r. Milton, of Chattanooga, Tenn. say
ing he also had witnessed the killing
Of HALEY by Crawford and would come
to Washington to testify to that.
Another telegram from W. f. Brock,
Of Lindale, Ga. said the soldier was
killed because he was i'll and unable to
work and that Crawford was not tried
by court-martial.
Reports Dootored, He Says
Wallis, however had another version
saying that Crawford was tried by
court martial, given 30-day furlough
and then made sergeant. To the best
of his recollection the killing was in
May or June, 1918.
Reports published at the time Of the
Camp Wheeler shooting, Wallis said,
showed that HALEY was shot while re-
sisting arrest but he added. those re-
ports were not true.
did he give the corporal provoca-
ton for shooting him. Senator Watson
asked.
"None whatever. At the time he
was shot, Halley's arm had been brok-
en- BY clubbing HALEY was struck
down with club for refusing to work
and then shot in the back, dying the
next day"
Officers of the war department said
they would examine the records to de-
termine if such case as that described
by Wallis was listed.
After Wallis had concluded his tes-
timony the names Of the five other
witnesses summoned to appear were
called, but none Of the five responded
to his name.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Police are in
vestigating a report that well-dressed
bandit of fine manners, who, single
handed, held up observation car pas
sengers On the Chicago, Washington,
Baltimore & Ohio train on Chicago's
south side Tuesday night, had es-
capped in an automobile driven by a
woman. Children skating on a pond
at Sixty-seventh street, said they saw
the robber leave in car which had
been parked beneath the railroad via
duct.

car at the Sixty-third street station and
forced the passengers TO stand in line.
After robbing four men he reached Mr..
and Mrs Herbert L. Stansbury. of
Tucumcari n. NJ, and their three
small children.
Madam" he said, "will you please
take the children to the other end of
the car. / am mot interested in any
valuables woman may have, and |
do not want to frighten children. If
you please"
AS Mrs. Stanisbury and the children
obeyed his request. he relieved Stanis-
bury of his pocketbook.
AS he continued down the line Of
passengers, the conductor appeared at
the front end Of the car.
It's quite possible" he told his
victims. that the conductor is armed.
If he isn't he can call men who are.
That would mean shooting, and some
of you might get hurt. ! don't want
that to happen, so / will leave you"
He jerked the emergency rope, back
ed through the door. and as the train
slowed down leaped out on the rail
and disappeared.

into custody by the police.
A check of valuables taken by the
bandit was said by the police to total

Gas From Straw.

gas derived from the destructive
distillation Of straw is being produced
on a small scale at the experimental
farm Of the Omitted States Department
of Agriculture at Arlington, Va, says
the JourHt Of Industrial and Engi-
neering Chemistry in recent article.
This gas has been used for motor
fuel, for cooking and Illuminating pur-
poses, but its commercial value has
not yet been determined. The Office
of development work of the bureau of
chemistry is now making a series of
tests upOn it.
Fifty pounds of straw will produce
about 200 cubic feet of gas, and the
problem Of iQuefying or condensing
the gas in order to enable it to be used
practically as a motor fuel is now in
process of solution.

The Useful Volcano.

The scarcity Of coal is stimulating
the search for other sources of heat
and power. Much has been heard of
''white coal'' or the ingenious use Of
water power. In Italy they have hit
upon another plan which promises to
revolutionize the industry Of the coun-
try There are several places in Italy
where the internal heat of the earth
comes so near the surface that it may
be tapped In other words, the vol
canoes are being harnessed to supply
power. The tests already carried on
are reported to have proved very sue
cessful and the work will doubtless
be greatly extended. The heat thus
drawn from the earth IS converted into
electric energy which is transmitted
for great distances and employed to.
run railroads and operate mills. There
is practically an inexhaustible supply
of heat or power and it is believed that
the pressing coal problem of Italy will
eventually be solved.-Boys' Life.

Years ago a representative of British

for one good dog.
The mountain, according to the

Russians in the days when Alaska was
a Russian possession, and several ship
loads of ore had been carried away. e

LET THEM START IN EARLY
Here's Writer Who Advocates Hav-
ing the Children Select Their
Vocations When Young.

We heard the other day of a child
who had begun to write poetry at the
age of five. It must be quite shock
to the parents to realize so soon that
their hope and pride will never have
to worry over an income tax. blank.
On the other hand, finding out the
truth early in life will save them many
4d1sappointments and considerable ex-
pense. They can begin at once to save
money by sending the child to the
barbcr's.
The child ought to be very easy to
amuse. Give it a piece of paper and
a pencil, and let it rave. For If a
child begins to be a poet at the age
of five, it stanza reason that the child
will go, from bad to verse. There is
nothing that parents can do with a
born poet but admit it.
In some respects it would be an ad-
vantage to the human race If all
children indicated their future career
at the age Of five. There would be
fewer plumbers trying to play the pi-
ano, and fewer ribbon clerks trying to
win lawsuits.
A child who, at five, smashes every
thing in sight ought to be trained for
Wall street, and one that seemed in
clined to swallow everything should
make good congressman.-C Chicago
Herald and Examiner.

There is no inaction in life. From
the cradle to the grave there is a con-
tinual going forward or going back
ward-there is no still zone. Where
ever life is there must be motion, ac-
tivity, of some form Or other. We can
not stand still in our tracks and watch
the world roll by. We must either win
or lose life's victory day by day. We
must either fight for our existence Or
be swept out--of the ring, crushed and
defeated. In business life also there
can be no inactivity. With competition
and contending forces all around, no
one can remain idle,- if he wants to hold
his own. If we look into the book of
our own lives, turning the pages one
by one, examining the record we have
made during the past year, we will find
that we have either pressed onward or
fallen back. Let us all press forward.
and upward in the year to come.
