Senator Kenyon read from some Of
the speeches made during discussion OF
the Lorrimer case ten years ago.
The most impressive speeches made
on the Democratic side Of the Chamber
were contributed by Senators Owen OF
Oklahoma and Mcclellan Of Tennessee.
Mr., Owen declared the arguments made
by Senator Willis in support OF his

penditures of money In the Newberry
case were not unlawful

Spencer) in charge Of this case" said
Mr.. Owen. Says that the laws of Michi-

future to spend money in this way.

times q few of the Democratic Senators
mildly applauded the Republican Pro.

the final debate were contributed by
Senator's Borah, Kenyon, Willis, Spencer.

Senator Borah vigorously denounced
the Willis amendment to the Spencer
resolution. He declared that In adopt
ing the resolution the Senate would say
to Mr.. Newberry:
You may hold your seat but you will
hold it here and sit in the presence Of
your colleagues and before the people
Of the world as one who has obtained it
in violation of that which imperils the
very life of the republic"
The Idaho Senator urged that the
Spencer resolution be stripped to the
only legitimate question before the Sen
ate, which was whether the seat had
been declared vacant because the elec-
ton was corrupt.
"If Mr.. Newberry Is entitled to his
seat here" said Senator Borah. "lets him
sit on an equality with the Senator from
Ohio and the Senator from Idaho. Why
should he sit here under cloud for four
years IL he did not corrupt the election,
IL he says. as before his God and his
conscience, he did nothing dishonorable.
How dare you place the brand OF shame
/ upon him in this way?"

The final debate regarding Mr.. New
berry's right to represent Michigan In
the Senate was both brilliant and dreary
in spots. The Democratic program ap-
peared to be predicated solely on politi-
cal consideration and the opinion was
expressed by even some of Mr.. New
berry's supporters that the partisan
aspect with which Democratic argument
was tinged probably strengthened one
or two of the Republican Senators who
had been wavering.
Some of the Democratic Senator'S used
forcible language. In scoffing at Mr..
Newberry's assertion he had proved his
patriotism by entering the navy during
the war Senator .Heflin (Ala.) declared
that instead of proving himself friend
Of his country Newberry was an enemy
and a contemplate scoundrel."
Other Democratic Senators appealed
to their Republican colleagues Of past
Progressive tendencies to vote to keep
Mr. Newberry out of the Senate. An
appeal of this sort directed by Mr..
Harrison to Mr. Nelson of Minnesota
brought the sharp admonition "you let
the Senator from Minnesota reach his
own decision. He does not need any
instructions from the Senator from
Mississippi"

money Under this section OF the stat
utes there is not a word OF limitation
and there never has been in the State OF
Michigan. If the Senator's interpreta-
ton is right the aggregate expenditures
Of the campaign under the law would be
half years salary for the whole CAM
paign expenses in great state ike
Michigan"
.aThere is no doubt about It," retorted
Senator Owen.
Senator McKellar OF Tennessee. who
opened the debate. ridiculed the assertion
of Senator Newberry that he knew abso-
lutely nothing of the vast expenditures
of money made In his behalf during the
1918 primaries.
Does he believe there is q man in this
body" asked Senator Mcclellan, so gull
lible as TO believe such statement? He
says he was struck with amazement
when he learned of the big sum of money
used in his behalf. and why should he
be willing TO reap the benefit of it?"
"Money Only Got Votes"
Referring to the large vote given Sem
ator Newberry, Mr.. McKellar asserted
the latter was not known to 1000 citi-
zens of Michigan. THE fact is" he
added, "the votes were obtained solely
by the use of money, as Newberry had
done nothing for the State Of Michigan to
cause the people of Michigan to rise up
and give him such a vote of confidence.
Now, in view of the disclosures in this
case, he should resign and appeal to the
people of his State for review of their
votes"
Senator Myers OF Montana expressed
the opinion that it would be most un-
fortunate thing for the country and the
Senate if we vote TO allow Senator New
berry to retain his seat in view Of the
evidence of the case Nothing that we
have done for years will bring this body
in such dsrepute with the great mass of
people Of the Republic"
Beyond justifying their support OF the
Spencer resolution, which was amended
by Senator Willis, the Senators who
voted to seat Mr.. Newberry did not take
up much time In adding to the speeches
already made in his defense.
The debate over the Newberry case
will go down in history as one of the
shortest of the sort. The controversy
over the Lorrimer case continued for
more than two months. The actual de-
bate over tho Newberry case occupied
less than two weeks.

Senator Willis displayed considerable
asperity in taking issue with the state
ment Of Senator Borah.
II drew that resolution" said the
Ohio Senator. "and cannot permit the
Idaho Senator to read into 1t that which
is rot there and that which was never
intended to be there"
1T might not be intended to be there"
retorted Senator Borah, "but it is there"
II understand the Idaho Senator to
say the resolution condemns only what
Mr. Newberry expended" disputed Sena-
tor Willis. He will not find any such
language in it."
Senator Borah read the resolution and
then declared IL condemned Mr.. New
berry for spending money in the pri-
mary. You condemn and dcnounce his
primary expenditures and then say to
Mr.. Newberry that he can hold his seat"
Senator Lenroot, another Progressive
Senator, who was counted on TO vote
against Mr.. Newberry, thereupon re-
vealed his purpose to favor the latter.
He commended the Willis amendment to
the Spencer resolution.
at seems to me very clear it is proper
for the United States Senate to condemn
the expenditure OF S195,000 in the State
OF Michigan, although the Senate In
voting for the resolution may be con-
vinced that Mr.. Newberry Is as guiltless
as a new born babe, and may also be
justified in concluding that the cxpendi-
ture of huge sums by his friends hurt
him in the election instead OF aiding
him. a conclusion / have reached and
In which I firmly believe"
Senator Kenyon made a spirited APP
peal to his Republican colleagues to vote
to exclude Mr.. Newberry. His address
caused some supporters of the latter a
great deal OF uneasipess. He declared
the people of the country would not be
favorably impressed by the decision OF
the Senate to admit Mr.. Newberry to it,

citing these urgent needs:

We need men to tell us the costs

New York University has re-
sponded to these two Voices to
the limit of her ability. That
she has not done more toward
the supply of these needs is due
to the inadequacy of her re-
rources. The student is doing

Newberry supporters were dealing with
a situation not particularly from par
tisan standpoint but one in which patri-
otism weighed heavily.

piled Mr. Mclean. II do not care to

down, "and 1t will be good and hot"
Characterizing the Newberry case as
the ''most important domestic issue be-
fore the American people," Senator
Walsh (Dem), Massachusetts. declared
that to say a candidate could shift his re-
sponsibility as to expenditures was to
say he could shift the responsibility OF

Whatever the verdict here. there is

said Senator Walsh. .'and they will say

History of the Case.

The Michigan Senatorial election
contest between Henry Ford and Mr.
Newberry runs back into the early
summer Of 1918. when President Wilson
personally requested Mr.. Ford to enter
the race for the Michigan Senatorship.
Charges were spread broadcast By
Ford supporters accusing the Newberry
committee with having spent more than
$250.O00 in the primary campaign. and
the further assertion was made that
illegal influences had been brought TO
bear and intimidation Of voters resorted
to by the Newberry committee in OBJ
tanning the nomination for their candi-
date.
Mr. Ford filed charges and a contest
of Mr.. Newberry's election with the
Senate January 4, 1919, and a recount
Of the election ballots was Immediately
ordered by the Senate. The recount,
completed in February OF that year.
gave Mr.. Newberry a plurality In the
general election Of 1894.
Mr.. Newberry took the oath of Office
and assumed the duties Of Senator
the following May 10, and a day later
Mr.. Ford filed with the Senate addi-
tional charges of illegal expenditures
and conspiracy in the primary by Mr..
Newberry and his campaign committee.
Grand Rapids, Mich, then became the
center Of the stage, for November 20,
1919, Mr.. Newberry and 1874 other men
were indicted at the instance Of the
Department of Justice on Federal
charges Of conspiracy to violate the
corrupt practices act. The Senator and
sixteen Of his codefendants were con-
victed in the trial that followed. He
appealed to the Supreme Court Of the
United States, which held the corrupt
practices act unconstitutional and set
aside the conviction May 2. 1921.

Buskins, the funny little fairyman

When Buskins found out who the

"Oh. thank you" said Mr.. Peer

Buskins pulled a handle and the

There appears to be difference Of
opinion as to the origin Of the sur
name Scales. According to one ex-
pert the name is probably derived
from "shealing" a scandinavian
word indicating shepards hut.
The historian of the American
Scales family however, says that the
first of their ancestors 10 bear the
name was a commander Of the d.
vision OF william the Conqueror's s
army whose duty It was TO scale

he had assisted William the Con-

he was known as hugh de Eschalers,
Hugh OF the scalers." Then the
name became de Scales" That is
the old story and we further read
that for many generations after

NEW CASTLE FIRES

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEW CASTLE, July 13.-Two flre
alarms sounded within a few min
utes of each other caused consid-
cradle excitement here last night.
The first alarm was sent in from
the plant of the American Manga
nese steel Company. where the
stable was found to be in flames.
The Good VIII fremen responded
with their apparatus and extinguish-
ed the flames. The loss was esti-
mated at $500.
shortly afterwards another call
was received, this alarm being from
Seventh and Clymer streets. The
home of James Weldon was threat
ened with destruction, but qllick
work on the part of the fremen
saved the property. The loss was
estimated at $50.
