Newberry May
Resign His Seat
And Rum Again
Friends at Washington Say
He Will Ask Virldication
From Michigan Voters
i'm a Special Election
Will Be Opposed by Ford
Senator Has Nothing to
Lose, as He Is Believed
Certain To Be Ousted
BY Carter Field

Copyright. 1922, New York Tribune Inc
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.--Truman II.
Newberry will seek vindication at the
hands of the voters of Michigan in the
near future, according to some of the
stanch friends Of the Senator here,
They believe the Senator will resign
and will at once open a campaign for
reelection.
Those friends Of Mr.. Newberry as
sert that he will ask Governor Gros-
beck to call special election to fill
the vacancy caused by his resignation,
and will enter himself sas a candidate
They say he will makefa solemn pledge
not to spend one cent more than the
Michigan statute provides s--one-halfy OF
the years salary Of the office which
the candidate is seeking-and that he
will not accept any contributions what
ever. AS the salary OF United States
Senator ID only $1,000 a year, this
would limit Mr.. Newberry TO an ex-
penditure Of $3.50 in the campaign.
1t is known, OF course, that many
friends of the Senator all through
the state and many Republicans who
are sick and disguested at the con
stant prating about the Newberry is-
sue will be delighted to take uff their
coats and work for him without the
Ford's Opposition Counted On
: Mr.. .Newberry has been assured OF
this and has been told by men who
have no particular axes to grind that
they believe he could win at q special
election, despite the evident fact that
the Democrats from all over she coun-
try would unite il drive to beat him.
1t is certain also t t the powerful in
fluence Of Henry Ford, who not only
has his enormous factories near De-
troit but has agents all over the state,
would be exerted to the utmost against
him. s
Ford would be against Newberry not
only because Newberry'ss campaign Of
1918 kept Ford out Of the Senate, but
the sort Of campaign Newberry would
eye for Henry Ford's Presidential am
bitions.
Newberry's friends want him to make
his fight chiefly on the Henry Ford
issue-taking the ground that the fight
In 1918 for which he has been SO much
criticized, even If it were true that he
was personally responsible for the
sums Of money expended by his friends
while Newherry himself was on was
duty with the navy, was justified.
The justification, according to his
friends, would lie in the fact that il
this fight had not been made Henry
Ford would have been elected to the
Senate, Such an election they want

disastrous at the time when the coun,
try was at war, in view. of Ford's paci-
fist ideas and in view of the exemption
of Edsel Ford from the draft.

cial election he would be personally

ALI Scotland Yard at Work on
Chiefs Mysterious Poisoning

r ~ .
LONDON. Nov. 10 (By The Associated
Press. Sir William Norwood, Chief Of
Scotland Yard and Commissioner OF
Metropolitan Police, isFsuffering the ef-
fects of an insidious attempt on his
life, it became known to-day. Last
night he was seized with what was
thought to be heart attack. but to-
day it became definitely established
that he was the victim, of malicious adj
ministrations of poison, the origin Of
which is undetermined. ALI subordl-
nate officials of Scotland Yard have
been called to headquarters to assist
in the Investigation.
Scotland Yard has declined any de-
tailed information beyond what; is con.
tanned in an official statement which it
issued. 1t appears that the chief had
luncheon at club yesterday and in
the afternoon was attacked with a se-
we're vomiting spell which brought or
heart attack. This caused cont
plete collapse while he was dressing
to attend Guildhail banquet.
Only drastic remedies, including the
administration of oxygen, enabled him
to survive the night. This Morning he
was removed to hospital, where he
still remains in critical condition.

Shipping Board
To Hold Liners
Under u. S. FLAG
Resolute and Reliance Were
Transferred TO Foreign
Registry Through Prior
Agreement With Owners
Exceptions May Be Made
Where Operators Can Show
Dry Losses Officials May
Permit Them to Change

Frons The Triba.e's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.--Anticipat-
ing that the Daugherty dry ruling may
prompt other American ship operators
TO request the Shipping Beard to aas
thorize the transfer of their tonnage
to foreign registry, as was done yes
terday In the case Of the passenger
liners Rasoiute and Reliance. it was
said to-day by Chairman Lasker and
other shipping officials that no whole
sale transfers would be granted.
While the request Of w. Avereli
Hartman, operator of the Resolute
and Reliance, is the only one that has
been presented to the board since the
PRONUNCIATION Of the order prohibiting
the selling of liquors on American flag
vessels it was indicated to-day at the
board that other operators may seek
to have their vessels documented un-
der foreign flags so they may engage
in this traffic.
wholly contrary to the intent of the
merchant marine bill, which gives the
Shipping Board authority to pass on
4
American operators were privileged to
remove their ships from the United
States flag. One. official pointed out
that one of the primary objects of this
legislation was to expand the Ameri-
can merchant marine, not only for the
purpose of providing ample carriers
for American exports and imports, but
from the viewpoint of the possible use
of merchant craft in the event of war.
Prior Agreement Covered Two Liners
The shipping act provides that no
American ship can be transferred from
the United States flag to foreign rep
istry unless at least five members of
the Shipping Board give consent in a
resolution. In the case of the Reso-
lutte and Reliance it was specifically
agreed between their owners and the
Shipping Board that they had the right
to retransfer the vessels to foreign
registry any time within period Of
three years after their purchase from
Dutch interests.
Officials of the Shipping Board to-
I day expressed the belief that the pas
sage of the proposed ship, subsidy bill
would enable American operators to
continue their ships In all trade routes
without financial loss, despite the dry
ruling. 1t was said, however, that
should an operator make a showing
that he was unable to operate at q
moderate profit without handling
liquors consideration may be given to
his request for transfer of flag.
]. b. Smulls president of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, disclosed to-
day that there were fewer American
ships in operation now than at any
previous time. Out of 1882 vessels
owned and controlled by the govern
ment, representing total deadweight
tonnage of 9,894,527. only .393
were in commission. OF the I,2Te
steel passenger and cargo vessels
owned by the government only 377 are
in service OF the government fleet
Of eighty tankers, fifteen are in, active
use. Only one of the fourteen govern
ment refrigerators is in use. OF the
remaining ships Of all classes, includ-
ing tugs, concrete and wooden ships.

Way Found to
Boost Pay in
Hylan Cabinet
Board of Estimate Votes
Increases for Two Posts
and Subterfuge Would
Permit LII More Raises
Reappointment Is Ke,
Members Could Resign and
Accept Positions Again
After Salaries Were Up

Salary increases for the thirteen
members of Mayor Hylan's cabinet,
which were forced out of the new bud
get by the popular outcry against the
star chamber proceedings by which it
was sought to jam them through, were
revived for at least two Of the mem
hers at yesterdays meeting Of the
Board of Estimate. The Board voted
unanimously to increase the pay of the
Commissioner Of Health and the Com
missioner of Correction from $500 to
$4,000 year after January 1. when
those Offices will be vacated by DR..
Royal s. Copeland, United States Sen.
ator-elect, and James A. Hamilton, Sec
retary Of State-elect.
The two vacancies among the depart
ment posts and the decision to reward
the new heads with 25 per cent In
crease is believed to have opened up
q way for the Hylan administration to
increase all of the cabinet members
salaries by the use of simple subter-
'fuge. The increases for the new Health
Commissioner and the new Commits
sioner of Correction arc made legally
possible only because they are to be-
come effective after the incumbents
leave their posts. There seems now to
be no good reason why increases should
not be voted the eleven other depart
ment heads, effective on January or
any other day, permit them to resign
| on that d.y in order that the increased
pay wou- d go to the next appointee,
and then have the Mayor reappoint
them.
Section &c Of the City Charter, un-
der which salary increases are made,
provides only that the Board of Alder
men may vote increases in pay to city
officials on the motion of the Board
of Estimate, except that in the case
of elected officials or heads of depart
| ments the increases shall not become
effective during the tenure of office
of the incumbent. ~
The Board of Estimates action was
entirely unexpected by those who had
seen the strained efforts of the Mayor
to include salary increases for the
department heads during the time the
new budget was being made up. While
secret sessions were being held sson
the new budget, increases were pro-
posed by the Mayor and approved by
the budget committee. AS soon as
this was made public, there were so
many protests from all quarters that
the committee rescinded it's action the
next day, and Mayor Hylan proclaimed
that there would be no increases for
any one because to grant them would
be. to boost the budget beyond the
constitutional debt limit.
Comptroller Craig made the. motion
yesterday on the plea that first-class
| men could not be attracted otherwise
and that it was everywhere acknowl-
edged that the commissioners were un-
derpaid
Objection was voiced at first by
Borough President Edward Riegelman
of Brooklyn, but after whispered
conference with the Mayor he voted in
the affirmative, saying. "Well, as long
as it's going to be a Brooklyn man I'll
withdraw my objection"
