NEW YORK AND CHICAGO
BRANCHES IB Alt THE PRINCIPAL CiTU
CHANCE FOR G. O. P. TO PROVE
ITS SINCERITY
The election of "Senator" Truman
H. Newberry, of Michigan, contested
by Henry Ford, will give the Repub
lican majority of the upper house of
the new Congress an opportunity to
show the nation how much purifica
tion has been accomplished in that
party since it relinquished control
eight years ago. Because of the
slender Republican majority in the
Senate two there is little doubt in
Washington as to the ultimate out
come of the affair. Public insistence,
however, is likely to force a complete
investigation of the huge campaign
fund that the Newberry managers
admit having expended.
Apparently a cheerless and profit
less task will confront the Republican-controlled
senate committee on
privileges and elections. If Newber
ry should be ousted the majority's
control would hang on one vote for
some time, and that one might not
"stand hitched." Moreover, several
Republican senators publicly or pri
vately have been outspoken in their
denunciation of the slush-fund meth
ods in Michigan last year.
"If this enormous expenditure of
money in senatorial campaigns is to
go without challenge by Congress,
then a poor man has no chance ever
to secure a seat in this body and
simply the rich can purchase' a seat
here," said Senator Kenyon, of Iowa,
on the floor of the Senate when he
heard the report that $170,568.08 was
admitted to have been spent in the
Newberry primary campaign in
which ex-Governor Chase S. Osborn
and Henry Ford were contestants. Of
this amount, $99,900 was furnished
by John S. Newberry, a brother, pre
sumably without Senator Newberry's
"knowledge or consent" to quote his
own words relative to this campaign
fund.
. L. D. Dickinson, Republican, who
was reelected Lieutenant Governor in
the same campaign, called upon New
berry to "withdraw from this cam
paign and save the everlasting dis
grace to the party and the state from
a pollution that would stay for
years." Mr. Newberry did not with
draw, this being another case of not
"with my knowledge or consent."
"If Mr; Newberry should be elect
ed, Michigan will have an election
scandal worse than the Lorimer scan
dal in Illinois or . the Stephenson
scandal in Wisconsin. If this is to
be the policy permitted in Michigan,
then none but millionaires, or men
with millionaire friends who will pay
the bills, need apply for the office of
governor or United States senator,
for only they can pay the price." This
was the summing up of the situation
by Merlin Wiley, Republican mem
ber of the Michigan legislature and
manager of the Osborn campaign,
after a detailed indictment that point
ed out the obviously huge expendi
tures necessitated by the Newberry
army's scale of operations. I
The trail of William Lorimer that
finally was followed back to certain
corporate interests of Chicago was
far less clearly marked than that of
Truman H. Newberry, who has two
hurdles to leap. The first, the fed
eral law, says regarding campaign
expenditures:
"No candidate for senator shall
give, contribute, expend, use, or
promise or cause to be given, contrib
uted, expended, used or promised in
procuring his nomination and election
any sum in the aggregate in excess
of the amount which he may lawfully
give, contribute, expend, or promise
under the laws of the state in which
he resides: Provided, That no candi
date for senator of the United States
shall give, contribute, expend, use, or
promise any sum in the aggregate
exceeding $10,009 in any campaigns
for his nomination and election."
The second hurdle is the Michigan
statute, which did not prevent the
expenditure of more than $176,000 in
Newberry's behalf, though reading as
follows:
"No sums of money shall be paid
and no expenses authorized or in
curred by or on behalf of any can
didate to be paid by him in order to
secure or aid in securing his nomina
tion to any public office in excess of
25 per cent of one year's compensa
tion of the office."
Certainly both statutes are ex
plicit enough to demand a thorough
overhauling in the open of Michi
gan's inside political methods.

The epidemic at the Waverly Baby
home, which resulted in the death of
14 babies, wias due to milk from a
diseased cow, according to a report
made to City Health Officer Parrish
Monday by Dr. E. C. Pernot, city
bacteriologist.
On May 28 a city milk inspector
was sent to the home to make an in
spection of the cows, and found one
cow cut off from the herd suffering
from an inflammation. The cow had
not been used for some time, it was
said.
Tests and cultures made by Dr.
Pernot, he reports, prove to his sat
isfaction that the trouble at least
originated with the use of milk from
this cow, and that the disease might
have been transmitted to others by
contaminated fingers.
"It is highly probable," reports Dr.
Pernot, "that before the condition of
this particular cow was noticed that
some child became infected and that
the organisms passing through the
child increased in virulence and were
transmitted to others by contaminat
ed fingers or other means.
"The same streptococci found as
the cause of the babies' illness was
found in the milk from the diseased
cow. A rabbit inoculated with these
organisms developed a large internal
abscess. These organisms are not
fatal to either guinea pigs or rabbits,
but cause serious intestinal disturb
anvea in infants.
"Microscopic examination proved
that barley gruel used with the milk
contained too many coarse particles
from the barley, which acted as an
irritant on the inflamed bowels. This,
however, ,was no fault of the person
whd prepared the food, as these par
tides were not detectable with the
naked eye. '
"In conclusion I am of the opinion
that the disease among the children
had its origin from the diseased cow,
as we have had cases of a similar
character before, and truced their
origin to some cow in the herd that
furnished the milk."
Mrs. D. C. Burns, president of the
Waverley baby home, said Monday
that Dr. Pernot's report was her first
knowledge that a diseased cow might
have been the cause of the epidemic.
She said that milk from the cow in
question had not been used from the
moment that it became apparent that
the cow was suffering from a dis
order, and that all the cows at the
home are inspected at intervals by
city milk inspectors.
Dr. Parrish said that he had every
reason to accept the report of Dr.
Pernot, but that he could not see that
anyone in connection witli the home
would be entitled to criticism, as the
cow had been cut from the herd even
prior to the first report of sickness,
and that at the time of the first call
by the medical authorities the sick
t. - j i i
cow naa ueen imusea lor sucn a
lengthy period that it was virtually
placed outside of all deductions.

BETTER CARE OF SHEEP
PAYS OWNERS IMMENSELY
Seven farm sheep demonstrations
were held last year in Missouri
flock owners cooperating with sheep
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture and the
state agricultural college the results
of which, among other things, show
ed that it pays .well to give sheep
proper care. In two of the demon
strations, where grade animals were
kept, one flock produced 108 per cent
of lambs, which means that some of
the ewes had twin lambs, while the
other flock produced, only 59 per cent
of lambs, "which means that a large
number of the ewes did not produce
any or that the lambs were too weak
at birth to be saved. The wool from
the first flock was sold at 66 cents a
pound, while the wool from the sec
ond flock brought 64 cents a pound.
The cost of feed of the first flock
amounted to $7.05 for each animal,
while the sheep of the second flock
were fed at a cost of $1.34 each. The
total cost, in the first flock amount
ed to $8.36 an animal, as compared
to $2.57 for the second flock. But
the net profit a head the point
which is most important to all sheep
raisers was $5.74 in the first flock
as compared ip. $2.22 in the second
flock, and the net return on the in
vestment amounted to 21.77 per cent
in the first flock as compared to 15.23
per cent in the second flock.
