THIAUCOURT. France. Aug. 90
(By A. P)-France knows how

the destruction she caused during
the war, and every German will be
held In strict accountability for the
repair Of this damage, Premier Poin-
care told the assembled population
OF Thiaucourt which gathered to-

community who fell in the great
struggle. The ceremony had a double
meaning in that the monument was
designed as 10 honor scores Of civili-
ans who died as a result OF occupa-
ton Of the town by German troops.
After reviewing the heroic part
played by the town in resisting the
German drive on Paris in September
1914. and the intense suffering of
the population under German occu-
patton, the premier exclaimed:

the horrors committed by Germany,

BUSINESS STRONG
THOUGH STRIKES
DELAY PROGRESS
Reports Show Undertone of
Quiet Strength - Hopes
for Recovery Mount.

NEW YORK. Aug. 20.-(By a. p
While the past week has brought
little real news Of a constructive
nature. hopes for a speedy settle
ment OF existing labor controversies s
have mounted higher and the coun-
try's leading markets have shown
an undertone Of quiet strength. Hes
fancy which was IN the ascendency
as the week opened vanished as re-
assuring notes were struck for sew
eral quarters.
Failure Of France and England TO
come TO an agreement on the Ger
man reparations question and the
consequent breakup of the London
conference had an adverse effect
here. Some anxiety was also coca .
stoned by delay in announcing an
agreement for settling the coal
strike. which had been expected
hourly in the closing days Of last
week. Fear that other railroad
brotherhoods might join the shop
mems strike added another cause
for alarm.
Several favorable influences soon
turned sentiment into more optimis-
tic channels, however. Among them
were the news from Cleveland that
basis had been reached for a soft
coal strike settlement. calling Of a
meeting at Philadelphia 10 settle
the anthracite difficulty and agree
meut OF the railroad executives TO
meet the leaders Of the big four"
brotherhoods In an effort TO find a
solution for the Shopmen's problem.
More hopeful news from abroad and
a favorable cotton and a consump-
ton report had been a stimulating
effect.
Although only about 20 percent Of
soft coal producing capacity OF the
country was represented at the
Cleveland conference and signed the
agreement for reOpening the mines,
other operators. il IS believed, Will
not be slow to fall into line. Pres
ent high prices and the evident de-
termination to avert a coal famine
will act as a spur 20 production.
These same influences will also tend
to bring a speedy agreement at Phil

.NEWBERRY NOT
GUILTY, HUGHES
SAYS In LETTER
Declares Michigan Senator
Was Wrongly and Most
Unjustly Convicted"
NEVER VIOLATED LAWS
Secretary of State Says Proof
of Violation Failed
Completely.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-(By A
P.)-Sec'y Hughes in a letter made
public Sunday night by the reFub-
lican national committee expresses
the conviction after a review Of the
Newberry case that Sen. Newberry
was wrongly and most unjustly con-
victed"
The secretary writing to the Rev.
Hugh B. McCauley, of Paterson, n.
j.. in response to an inquiry as to
the facts in the Newberry case
gives itself the findings OF the
courts, especially the supreme
court, which set aside the convic-
ton Of Mr.. Newberry, and then con-
cludes:
Despite the long period Of pre-
paration, the rigid investigation, the
careful choosing of their. ground. the
long-drawn out trial and the at
tempt in every way to besmirch and
the zeal. ability and even bitterness
of his purSuers, their endeavor TO
esta blish a violation Of law on the
part Of Sen. Newberry completely
failed and accordingly Sen. New
berry stood as a senator duly elect
ed by the people of the state OF
Michigan and entitled TO his seat in
the senate OF the United States.
Mr. Hughes expresses the belief
that there seems TO be a general
misconception Of the nature of iti-
CATION and its result and Sen. New
berry has suffered in consequence a
most serious injustice"
THE conviction Of Sen New
, berry" he continues. was obtained
under a statute held by the maJori-
~ of the supreme court to be in
valid: rested upon a ground which
did not involve any fnding by the
jury OF moral turpitude: and was
effected only by a most serious mis-
construction Of that statute which
exposed him to conviction regard
less of any moral offense, upon his
part and no matter how high mind
ed he might have been in his con-
duct in the campaign"
Hughes Was Counsel
The secretary who was counsel
for Mr.. Newberry and his associates
participated in arguments in the
case before the supreme court
further declares in his letter that
lit should be borne in mind that
Sen. Newberry's conviction in the
lower court was not based on any
charge of fraud or corruption or OF
the use of money for any illegal
purposes or of any act involving
turpitude
Mr.. Hughes then EXPLAINS that the
/ conviction Of Mr.. Newberry was
+ based solely on the charge that
there had been an expenditure in
his campaign and election Of more
than s3,75O, the limit fixed by the
statute by the state OF Michigan
and that the federal corrupt prac-
tees act made it unlawful for a
candidate TO spend in excess Of the
limit fixed by state law.
sen. Newberry could not have
been convicted" Mr.. Hughes adds
even upon this charge without what
I always regarded. and so stated in
my argument to the supreme court
as an extraordinary misapplication
