 To Demand
 Show Down
By J. BART CAMPBELL.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Democratfc leaders of the Senate agreed upon a day on the right of Senator Truman H. Newberry to hold his seat.
 The Democratic plan was as fol- lows:
 l. A motion to be made probably by Senaor Pomerene, Ohio, to recom- init the whole Newberry case to the Senate committee which investigated the expenditure of about $195, 900" structions to the committee to sum- mon Newberry to reply to questions by committe members; or,
 2. A motion to be made probably case the previous one fails, that Henry Ford be declared not entitled to a seat in the Senate; or,
 8. A motion to be made as the last resort. that Newberry not be entitled to his seat.
 The first motion is expected by Democratic leaders to prevail. and to receive considerable Republican sup port, 1t was stated. It would prob ably bury the entire Newberry case in committee for an indefinite period.
 It was declared by Republican leaders of the Senate that the real oeuvres was to keep Newberry in his seat and the whole Newberry con- troversy "open," as a prospective "is- sue" of the = coming congressional
 
 If Newberry were to be unseated Dem ocrats would be deprived of an issue upon which they are banking, 1t was explained.
 The situation on the Republican side was said to have narrowed to four "doubtfuP' Republican votes, those of Johnson of California; Vel Ter of Maryland; Poindexter of Wash ington and Lenroot of Wisconsin. s A canvass disclosed that Willis of Ohio. Capper of Kansas. Jones of Washington, and Sutherland of West Virginia, are almost certain to join the six Progressive Republican sen ators already committed against New berry, it was stated.
 The ''sure ones'' are Borah Of Ida ho; Kenyon of Iowa; Norris of Ne braska; Ladd of North Dakota; Nor beck of South Dakota, and La Fol lette of Wisconsin.
 Senator Crow of. Pennsylvania, un- able to be present on account of his continued illness. had been paired with Senator Kendrick of Wyoming, a Republican "for'' with a Democrat "a against This is the only pair thus far recorded.

RELATIVES OF A. S. HARRIS
ARRIVE FROM RUSSIA

Mr.. A. ). Harris returned last Thurs
day night from New York, bringing
with him his father, Mr.. Simon Har7
us and his sister, Mrs Marie Lavitte,
and her little daughter, Rose Lavittee,
aged Il who have just arrived in this
country IRON Odessa, Russia.
he Old gentleman who is 20 wears
Ola, was prosperous grain merchant
IN Odessa till the World War broke
out and all his property was wiped
out and during the trying Years after
wards he and his family suffered manv
hardshlps from the lack of necessities
or HE. For several years during the
war, Mr.. "A. S. Harris the son, was
unable to communicate with his faith
err though he made many attempts to
get money to him. After he was able
to get letters to him and get replies
it was still very difficult to get money
or supplies to him for long time. Fl
nally through a relief association, he
was able to get food to his suffering
kinsmen.
Mr.. Harris has been for two wears
or more trying to get his father and
other relatives over here to make
their home with him, but immigration
laws and lack of consular representa-
ton with the Soviet government of
Russia made the task of getting them
out of Russia very difficult Mr.. Har-
ris was greatly aided by Senator VIM,
]. Harris.
Finally in June the elder Harris and
Mrs. Lavitte and daughter left Odes-
sa for Constantinoplc where they
could get in touch with United
States consul and arranged for en-
trance into the United States. But
there was delay and then the Turkish
trouble around Constantinople came
on and the gravest fears were entertain
ed for their safety While in Constan-
tinople, this unfortunate family en-
dured severer hardships than they had
at any time before.
But at last they got away from Con
stantinople and reached New York on
about Nov. 1st, where they were de-
tanned for about week getting by
immigration officials.
he old gentleman leaves one daugh-
ter behind in Odessa. Her husband
could not leave and of course she re-
manned with him.
He is hale old man and shows ev.
idence of being very vigorous, ant
as soon as he learns enough English
to converse with Americans, will fiji
in with his new surroundings.
Mr.. Abe Harris had not seen him
for 10 Years, having left home when
he was boy of about 10. Mr.. fake
Harris of Cincinnati, formerly of this
CITY is another son.
Mrs, Lavitte's husband was killed
during the war-Ocilla Star.
