WASHINGTON, Sept 29-CUnited

money to win Congressional cleo
tions was condemned by Repubh-
can and Democratic reports on the
Ford-Newberry election contest, sub
mitted to the Senate today by the

Michigan. on the grounds that his
credentials are stained with fraud
and tainted by illegal expenditure
was demanded by the Democrats on
the committee.
Although admitting that s195,000

paign, the Republican report denies
the charges Of illegal use of money
and says the Michigan Senator did
not have direct knowledge that this
large amount was being raised.
Newberry should be allowed to re-
main In the Senate. the Republican
majority report says.

PICK JURY TODAY TO
TRY MRS. SOUTHARD

TWIN FALLS. Idaho. Sept. 20
Omitted Press THE jury which will
try Mrs. Lydia Southard, alleged "fe-
male Bluebeard" on a charge Of
murder. is expected to be completed
before night
The state had six peremptory
challenges left and the defense seven.
Mrs southard is specifically charg-
ed with poisoning her fourth hus-
band, Edward Meyer. and there was
much speculation today as to how
the prosecution expects to introduce
Testimony regarding the alleged muir
der of three previous husbands, a
brother-in-law and her two-year-old
baby. The defense is confident the
State cannot employ such testimony
under the State law. which pro-
hibits attempts to show bad repu-
tation or character previous to acts
leading up to an alleged crime un-
less the defense tries first to sprove
the opposite.
District Attorney Stephen inform
ed the United Press that presenta-
ton OF the case against Mrs. South
ard would virtually take the form
Of her biography.

RUSSIAN TRADE
Rabinoff Tells Harding
Peasants Now Have
Stable Association
HAS WITHSTOOD
SOVIET ATTACKS

WASHINGTON. Sept. 20 Omitted
Press) .-Presnien Harding Is con-
sidering proposals for reopening
trade with Russia, on an extensive
scale, II was learned at the White
House today
His final ection will await recon-
mendations from officials of the
American relief adminjstration now
in the heart OF soviet Russia Sug
gestions that the United States en-
courage trade with the Russian CO.
operative associations have been laid
before President Harding by Max
Rabinof, formerly director OF the
Chicago Opera Company, and later
economic adviser to the Kerensky
delegation during the Paris peace
conference, who has just returned
from a trip to the Baltic provinces.
Rabinoff, in an hours conference
with President Harding last night,
told the President that the Russian
cooperative associations, embracing
membership OF over $4,000. 600
peasants, offers a stable organiza-
tion with which American business
men could do business.
''The soviet government tried by
various means. first to destroy the
cooperative organizations and then
to capture them but these attempts
failed ane the co-operatives stani
today as stable organizations with
which America could trade" Rabin-
off said today.
''The Russian peasant will be a
greater consumer OF manufactured
goods than ever before. Once he
was content with loaf of black
bread and a bottle of vodka. but
with the spread Of popular educa-
ton his wants are increasing and
American merchants will find in the
peasants market with untold pos
sibilities.
Russia needs American products
badly, Rabinoff said, and this outlet
lwould also assist in the revival OF
American export trade.
He pointed to the example OF
Great Britain as demonstrating the
practicabuity of resuming CONNER
cial relations. Rabinoff sat In at
conferences OF Kerensky and Lvoff
during the days of the first provis-
ional government, following the over
throw of the czar. but he has never
affiliated himself with Bolshevist
leaders. he said.
