Seating of Newberry
Act of Infany Which
Words Can't Describe

Washington, D. c., Jan. 28.-The senate told
Friday by Senator Reed democrat Missouri that never
in all the history of legislative bodies in the world had
shameless resolution been adopted that of the senate
in confirming Senator Newberry, republican, Michigan,
in his seat.
'There is not man who voted for this resolution"
Senator Reed said who did not brand in red letters
above and his political record the word dishonor
No word of tongue and word of pen describe the
degradation of that resolution and the sefconfessed
degradation of those who supported it..
The tongue is parayzed in an effort to describe
thing like that If he wrong, why did you not wipe
out the effect of the wrong and not adopt t Senator
Reed continued
"You say: This thing that craws and has forked
tongue is poisoned serpent Therefore, will admit
it to the family circle and allow to wind it's folds about
the arms of our children
"You say This is dog with the rabies. Every time
he sinks his fangs into the flesh they carry with them
deadly disease and therefore will turn the dog loose
on the community"
"You say This is thing black with nfamy. There
fore, we will spread it as a mantle the senate
chamber
"You say: This is deadly eprosy that, introduced
into the body polite, will destroy the virtue of the
tion Therefore, will introduce it's victim in the SEN
ate and bring the disease here
"You say This office sold for money. There
fore, he who bought it shall be confirmed in his title
you say: The thing is crimson in it's crime and
reekng rotten in all it's parts Therefore, it shall be
introduced into the senate chamber to vote on bill con-
corning the welfare of the state
You wrote the epitaph on decency in this body and
you have preserved for all time in the records of the
state
"A word ought to be introduced into our tongue
word that would describe this sort of thing that has
happened Newberrysm. 1t will not serve much USE
however, because the thing that have described never

TRAINING
CAMP FOR
VETS HIT
Vocational School for
Disabled Men Called
"Farce and Fraud by
Judge Marx

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 28-That
vocational training at Camp
Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, is "a
farce and a fraud" is the state
ment made by Judge Robert S.
Marx of this city, national COM
mander of the disabled American
veterans of the world war, in a
report presented in Washington
today to Martin B. Madden, chair
man of the committee on appro-
priations of the house of repre-
sentatives. The report is the re-
suit of a personal visit made by
Judge Marx to the camp.
"The school rooms have been
made over in a make-shift fash
ion," says Marx in the report.
I'm the electrical school, which
has an enrolment of 80, there
were only 81 men actually pres
ent, and of this number only two
were doing anything"
The equipment, he said, was
such as could be picked up around
any abandoned camp. Students
told him that the reason they
were not working was that equip
ment had not come.
"It looked like real work was
being done in the tailoring
school," the report said. "There
were only two or three men who
seemed to be idle, and it appear
ed that instructions were being
given
The shoe repairing school, the
report stated, was the busiest in
the camp.
eve did not find a single stu
dent who expressed satisfaction
with the methods of teaching or
with the courses of instruction he
was receiving" Judge Marx said.
Many of the students wanted to
go homo but were afraid to ask
fearing they would be dropped
from training entirely and thus
losing the chance Of rehabilita-
tion."

Diversion of
TrafficFi1les
Is Requested

Inyhis annual report filed with
Secretary of State Kozer today, T.
A. Raffety, chief of the state traf-
ric squad, recommends an amend
ment to the state law whereby a
portion of fines imposed upon traf-
fic law violators arrested by mem
bers of the state squad, should be
diverted to the state fund for the
purpose of defraying the expense
incident to patrol of the highways
by the state squad.
A total of $1o,933.95 in fines
was imposed upon the 500 traffic
law yiolators arrested by members
of the state squad during 1921,
Raffety points out in his report.
This entire amount went into the
county treasury although prac-
tically all the work incident to the
apprehension and conviction Of
the Yiolators was performed by
state officials.
Raffety's report also recon-
mends the enactment of law per-
mitting magistrates and the secre-
tary of state to revoke the opera
tors or chauffeurs' license Of any
person who, upon competent au-
thority, is adjudged to be an ha-
bitual user of narcotic drugs.
During the year 1921 total of
500 arrests were made by members
of the state squad for violations of
traffic laws with fines imposed
aggregating $10,933.95. Fees paid
into the state treasury by reason
of the activities of the state squad
aggregating another $11,955.75.
Expenses of the department dur
ing the year aggregated $685.
552.36 of which. $S90S.S0 was
spent in the purchase Of auto
mobiles, motorcycles, loadometers
and other equipment and $1e,-
643.56- was paid out as salaries
and expenses Of members Of the
squad and for repairs to equip
ment. Figuring the equipment at
the end Of the year worth 80 per
cent of its original cost Raffety's
reports shows a profit of more
than 10 per cent earned by the
state squad during the year.

-Eor weeks, according to the DO

posing as "the wild Dutchman, /"
was introduced to Lambertson,
who hired the detective to drive
him to the scene of the attempted
wreck.

began to run as the limited ap-
preached. When within a few
hundred yards of the derail, the
train began to slacken speed, and
Lambertson, believing himself be-
trayed, turned on Sergeant Cato
with his revolver.
Cato dropped to the ground and
other detectives stationed in the
surrounding brush opened fire.
Lambertson fell to the side of the
embankment with four bullets in
his body, just as the limited with
its hundreds or more passengers
drew to a stop within five feet of
the derail. Lambertson was paced
in the baggage car, the derail was
removed, and the train proceeded
