VERDICT UNJUST.
G. O. P. Publishes Let.
ter From Secretary
on Election Case.

Washington, Aug. 2O.--Secretary
Hughes. in a letter made public Sun
day night by the republican national
committee, expresses the conviction
after a review of the Newberry case
that Senator Newberry was wrongly
| and most unjustly convicted.
The secretary, writing to the Rev.
Hugh B. McCaulley of Paterson, n. j..
In response to an inquiry as to the
facts in the Newberry case. gives
IN details the findings of the courts,
especially the supreme court, which
set aside the conviction Of Mr.. New
berry, and then concludes:
Despite the long period of prepara-
tlon, the rigid investigation, the care
full choosing of their ground, the long
possible way to besmirch, and the zeal,
ability and even bitterness Of his pur-
suers. their endeavor to establish vio-
iatlon of law on the part of Senator
Newberry completely failed, and ac
cordingly, Senator Newberry stood as a
senator. duly elected by the people Of
the state of Michigan and entitled to
his seat in the senate of the United
States"
Mr.. Hughes expressed the thought
that there seems to be general mis-
conception of the nature of the litiga-
ton and its result. and Senator New
berry has suffered in consequence a
most serious Injustice
The conviction of Senator Newber-
ry.' be continues, was obtained under
a statue held by the majority Of the
supreme court to be invalid; rested
upon a ground which did not involve
any finding by the jury of moral turpi-
tude and was effected only by a most
serious misconstruction of the statute
which exposed him to conviction re-
gardless of any moral offense upon his
part and no matter how high-minded
be might have been in his conduct in
the campaign
The secretary. who rs counsel for
MIR. Newberry and his assistants. par
hcipated in the arguments in the case
before supreme court. declares in his
letter that it sho,fld be borne in mind
that Senator Newberry's contention in
the lower court was not based on any
charge of fraud or corruption or of the
or for any act involving moral turpi-
tude.'
Mr.. Hughes then explains that the
of Mr.. Newberry was based
solely on the charge that there had
been expenditure in his campaign and
election of more than $3.50. the limit
fixed by the statute by the state Of
Michigan. and that the federal corrupt
practices act made it unlawful for can
1idates to spend in excess of the limit
fixed by the state law

ALIEN SMUGGLING
THROUGH CUBA IS
SUBJECT OF NOTE
U. S. Wants Island Republic
To Erect Entry
Barriers.

Washington, Aug. 20.-tBy The AS
sOciated Press. )-Represen have
been made to the Cuban government in
a statement looking to steps to pre-
vent further smuggling of Chinese and
Europeans from the island republic
into the United States. In the note
transmitted through the Cuban lega-
ton here, the American government is
understood to have taken the position
that from the number of aliens admit
ted to Cuba and the fact that there is
said to be no employment available
there for them. it appears that entry
to Cuba is obtained upon the belief
that eventually the aliens can be SNUG
gled into this country.
Creation of entry barriers by Cuba,
it is believed by department Of labor
officials charged with enforcement of
the immigration Jaws, would go long
way toward Kidding the United States
of its smuggling difficulties. 1t is un-
derstood to have been at the sugges-
ton of Secretary Davis that the repre-
sentations were made.
DR.. Arturo Padro Almeida. secre-
tary Of the Cuban legation, said Sun
day he was hopeful of closer co-opera-
tion between his government and the
United States as n result of the rep
reservations which he declared he had
communicated to Havana. with the
necessary concentrations.
Approximately 10000 Chinese and
about 10000 aliens from all over Eu-
rope are now in China awaiting oppor-
tunity to enter this country surrepti-
tiously, in the belief of Secretary Davis.
Constant smuggling of aliens into the
United States. many of whom "are
communists and undesirable
citizens" Mr.. Davis said, constitutes
a menace to the government and should
bs halted without further delay"

WRECKER PULLS
SPIKES; z DIE
IN TRAIN RUINS
Reward Offered for Ar
rest of Plotters at
Gary, Indiana.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-(By the Associ.
ated Press).-The wrecking Of express
train No. 80, en- route from New Yorl
to Chicago, with the loss of two lives
near Gary, Ind. early Sunday morning
resulted from the deliberate removal OF
q spikes from one of the rails, Mich
igan Central railroad officials an

ward was offered for the arrest Of
those responsible.

The Injured:
c. H. Stockwell, Niagara Falls, n. Y
A. b. Heath, Buffalo, n. T.
The wreck took place about a mile
east of Gary at 2:1O a. M. while the
train. which carried no passengers. was
travelling at q speed estimated at more
than 30 miles an hour in an effort to
make up lost time. When the heavy
engine struck the rail from which the
spikes had been removed, it ploughed
along on thN lies for some distance and
then turned completely over. The two
enginemen were dead when removed
from the wreckage.
The cause of the wreck remained q
mystery for for some hours, because of
the confusion at the scene and because
of the fact that the rails and ties had
been pioughed up and tossed about like
matchwood for hundreds of feet Eight
cars loaded with merchandise followed
the engine into the ditch, the others
remaining on the track.
An investigation by Martin Quinn
special agent Of the road, revealed the
fact that, while the road had been
ground into an unrecognizable mass
from the spot where the train had left
the rails, enough remained at the place
where the engine had been thrown from
its course to furnish mute evidence of
the work of train wreckers. Every
thing ahead of the gap, however, had
been destroyed.

Remains in Air Two
Hours, 10 Seconds in
Motorless Airplane

Gersfieid, Germany, Aug. 20,-
(By tho Associated Press. .)-Herr
Hentzen, a student filler of the Han.
over technical school, late Saturday
afternoon In the glider tests on the
Rhoen mountains established q new
glider record BY remaining in the
air two hours and ten seconds.
Aentzen used the same single
deck sail plane in which another
student named Maertens previously
had made flight Of sixty.six min.
utes.
He reached an altitude Of ono
hundred meters above the summit
of the Wasserkuppe, which is at
an elevation of $50 meters, and
later mounted to a height Of 200
meters, which he maintained
throughout his Uniform flight, cruis-
ing with a wind velocity of from
seven to nine miles. When the
wind subsided Hentzen attempted
straightaway flight in an effort to
capture a specia prize of 100000
marks The glider landed at the
same spot where Maertens came
down Friday. The present Ger.

splendid vindication of the theories
advanced by Gustav LiIenthal, con.

Washington. Aug. 19.-The reports
from London the past week that Pre-
mier Lloyd George has sold a prospec-
tive book for something over S4OO, 900
or nearly twice as much as the kaiser
could command for his Forthcoming
narrative. have caused Washington to
wonder what Woodrow Wilson might
have realized in the way of fortune
if broken health had not frustrated
his plans to wrote complete history
of the World War.
OF course, Lloyd George has been a
far more turbulent figure, both in and
out of the war. than Mr.. Wilson ever
was, but there was time. and all too
brief, for him. when the stricken sage
of street was the commanding per-
sonality fthe world.
1t was that hour tnat Mr. Wilson
determined to write, not single book,
but series of volumes dealing with
the beginning. the conduct and the con-
clusion of the world war He had
planned it as a masterpiece, excelling
his earlier history of the American
people. While he was still on the crest
of the wave, there was talk among the
democrats of third term for the war
time president, but to members of the
national committee who called on him
and suggested such q course, Mr. Will
son replied he was impatient to get at
his history work and he would welcome
the close of his second term.
That he has been unable to move
toward even q start on the mementous
task upon which he had set his heart.
shows how grievOus Mr. Wilson's ill.
ness has been.
Mr.. Wilson would have had de-
tached view of the beginnings of the
war, which undoubtedly would have
been valuable history. for of these be-
he once made the statement.
1--WE have no concern" pronounce
ment which startled the allies out of
their boots.
Mr.. Wilson. however, never was in
close touch with the actual fighting of
the war That part of the struggle
did not interest him. He never went
to a munitions plant or an arsenal or
a cantonement while he was president
and America was going at full speed.
In this he differed from every other
world ruler. Lloyd George had every
detail of the war at his finger tips.
He loved war and the scent of war.
ne was COubLuHtty sdt luc lTOuJ. his
report to parliament from time to

The best summary. the best explanation
Of the fighting that came from any
sources.
. President Wilson was a man of many
ambitions. Some he realized to the
'ull, but the ambition to become the
recognized historian of the world war
vas denied him. The keenness of this
to him perhaps only a
lew can realize.
There was another man who might
rave written a great history of the
