Senate Progressives Refuse to
Accept NeWberry Explanation.
Foil Shows Enough Votes to
Seat Michigan Scion.
IBORAH ISSUES STATEMENT
Declares Money Used at Pri-
mary Same as at Election.
State and Federal Statutes ViO-
lated by Campaign.

washington. Jan. 10-Senator
Borah and other progressive RepubH-
CANS of the senate refused today to
accept the explanation of Senator Tru-
man H Newberry that he was not re-
sponsibIe personally for the expendi-
lures by his family and friends of
nearly 100000 in the Michigan cam
paign of 1918 which resulted in his
nomination
Senator kenyon and other senate
progressives declared that the primary
law was at stake in the issue which
the Michigan senator had raised, and
that the principle involved was
whether a candidate might become
the beneficiary of a corrupt election,
even tho he subsequently absoIved
himself of personal participation in it.
G. o. p. Claims VictoFS.
Republican leaders continued to
predict that they would be able to
command the majority necessary to
keep the Michigan senator in his seat.
A canvass of the Republican side
was said to have disclosed enough
votes to ensure an administration vic
tory, altho a number of progressive
Republicans fatty declined to vote for
Newberry.
Borah In Statement.
Borah summed up his attitude iE
the following statement of his reasons
for his refusal to vote to keep New
berry IN the senate:
"A thoro examination of the law
and a careful study of the facts rela
tive to the Newberry controversy led
me to the following conclusions:
First, that the primary is a part of
the election process. and the improper
use of money in the primary has the
same effect upon invalidating the pri-
mary as at an election.
Second, that the amount expended
in the Newberry election was such as
to lead to the conclusion that it was
intended to, and did corruptly affect
the results of the primary.
Third, that no man can be the
beneficiary of corrupt election when
such corruption was had in his behalf
whether he personally participated
in the corrupt methods or not.
Fourth, that the committee which
expended this money was Newberry' S
committee. If not actually selected
by him, it was accepted by him and he
cooperated with it so that the COM
mittee's acts became his act.
Fifth, that Mr.. Newberry had such
knowledge of the expenditure of the
money and the doing of the committee
as to charge him with responsibility
for whatever the committee did.
Sixth, that the Michigan state stat
ute was repeatedly violated.
Seventh, that the federal statute,
not yet declared unconstitutional, was
violated.
Eighth, that the election being
tainted with corruption and controlled
the use of money, the same is void and
the seat occupied by Newberry should
be declared vacant"

Why YOU NEED
iron
To make you strong and "brainy"
and put the power into your
blood to overcome dis
ease germs

The food you eat contains carbon. When
your food is digested it is absorbed from
the intestines into the blood. When the
carbon in your food comes in contact with
the oxygen carried by the iron in your
blood, the carbon and oxygen unite and
by SO doing they give off tremendous en-
ergy, thereby giving you great force,
your blood carries no oxygen and without
oxygen there is nothing to unite with the
carbon in your food, so that what you eat
does you no good-you do not get any
strength from tit is like putting coal
into a stove without a fire. You cannot
get any heat unless the coal unites with
the fire.

the greatest energy carrier in the body is

FARMER SUES TOWNSHIP.
Frank DoleziIek Says New Road
Would Take Part of Farm.

Rossville township was made de-
PENDANT in a suit filed in the district
court today by Frank Dolezilek, a
farmer, to enjoin the township from
relocating a road which he says al
ready encroaches on the northern
boundary of his farm.
Dolezilek says he has no complaint
to make concerning the present loca-
ton of the road, but that according to
recent survey made it will encroach
from twenty-five to forty feet farther
than it now does. He alleges that the
survey is inaccurate and asks that the
township be restrained from carrying
out it's plans.

into the Watson charges that Ameri-
can soldiers in France were indis-
criminately shot and hanged by their
officers was resumed today by the
senatorial committee before a room
packed with spectators and witnesses
eager to testify.
Senator Watson, Democrat, of
Georgia, author Of the investigation,
declared at the outset that an effort
wOtild be made to get IN touch with
Frank H. (Hard Boiled) Smith to
clear up the fate of Benjamin F. King,
a Wilmington, N. c., soldier who, ac-
cording to testimony, was the victim
o ia. lynching bee at the famous Rue
st. Anne prison in Paris. Smith is
now supposed to be in the Mexican
army
"VVhen soldiers were hanged in
France, could any soldier have found
out why he was hanged?" Senator
Brandegee asked Col. Walter A. Beth
el, former advocate general of the
a. E. +.
YES" replied Bethel.
''Was any effort made to prevent
news of hangings getting to this coun-
try?" asked Brandegee.
NO" replied Bethel.
Bethel said he did not think any
soldier was permitted to write home
about the death of any soldier.
by what authority did a court
martial order a man hanged instead
of shot?" asked Brandegee.
Based on custom-the articles of
war are silent on that. We followed
the British manual" replied Bethel.
Cut lizard BoiIed's" Term.
Bethel revealed that he was respon-
sible for the reduction of sentence
from three years to eighteen months
in the case of Hard Boiled" Smith.
Il advised General Pershing I
thought eighteen months was enough
for the case" Bethel said.
Bethel under cross examination by
Watson, declared Smith was convicted
of numerous "outrages" and brutali-
ties against American soldiers.
When the committee resumed there
were a half dozen witnesses on hand
to testify concerning the charges that
have been made against Maj. H. L.
Opie of Staunton, Va, that he shot
down his own men. Opie tearfully
denied the charges last week. He was
accompanied today by his counsel, Col.
John H. Cutchins.
Whole Company Saw Killing.
Charles E. Fox, of Richmond, Va.
corroborated a story previously told
and which Opie had denied. that the
major killed one OF his own runners.
while L was hurrying grenades,' -
testified Fox today, Il saw a runner
approach Major Opie. I couldn't hear
the words. but 1 saw Opie pull his
gun and shoot him.
The boy whirled his hands around
in the air and fell.
