Indianapolis, Evansvilie and Frank fort, Ind. These cases, beginning in 1915, resulted in some 200 convic tions. Bank Record Inspected. Bailey and Houck came to Michigan last AuiruHt. Bank records were in spected and the visitors lists of safety deposit vaults gone over. "With the tale of these as a starter, the investi gators were sent out. They visited "small fry" politicians first, offering them vague hints of what might come from a mythical campaign of a cer tain Michigan politician. Objections to small returns were followed by "confidential1 comparisons with the i Newberry campaign- I Generally, it was said, these lesser political leaders fell Into the traps, telling what they had received ' and explaining who 'ought to handle the money" in given wards of towns. The tiext grade of political ' leader was then approached and by this method, it was said, a clear trail was blazed to the "higher ups." "When brought into the grand jury room and confronted with accurate accounts of their con versations with the agents, tTie men generally, it was said, repeated their stories. Two Lawa Banes of Indictment. The government's legal experts, headed by Dr. Dailey. H. raleshonter of Grand Rapids, a former assistant district attorney, and Oliver .Pagan, indictment expert for the department of justice, took both state and federal Laws as the basis for the indictments. The federal corrupt practices act of 1110 limits the expenditures of sena torial candidates to $ 10,000, and re quires that four statements be filed with the secretary of the senate, one preceding and one following first the primary and then the election. . The Newberry affidavit cited in the second indictment was filed in correspond ence with this act. The second federal corrupt prac tices act which the indictments al lege was violated was passed in Oc tober, 1918. It made bribery of vot ers a crime after several federal courts held that such an act was not an offense against the laws of the I United States. This law came into ' being after the Michigan primary, but just ahead of the election. Limit Is Fourth of Salary. The state laws were brought in be cause the act of 1910 provides that if a state limits campaign expenditures to less than the $10,000 named in that act, then the state law shall apply to campaigns within that common wealth. As ft happens, the Michigan statutes limit campaign expenditures to a fourth of the yearly salary of the position sought for each primary or election campaign. An aspirant or United States senator in this state may, therefore, it was argued, spend only $1875 on the primary and an equal amount on the election cam paign. The law forbidding use of the mails to defraud was first used in election cases by Mr. Dailey in the Terr Haute indictments. It was applied to the Newberry case as probably cover ing various letters sent to campaign uoiuriDuiors, wnicn letters, it was charged, were worded so as to deceive the recipients as to the amounts al ready collected by the Newberry treasury. 176.568 Kxp-ndlturc-s Shown. lo meet a probable defense that benator Newberry was ignorant of the amount of money and its sources used In his campaign, the government in tended to use a statement issued by the senator's managers shortly after tne nrst rumors or. corruption began to be heard. This statement showed receipts of $178,856 and expenditures or nb.bt or the contributions, J on n . berry, the senator's brother, was credited with $99,900; A. Victor Barnes of New York, president of American Book company and a Wother of Mrs. Truman Newberry, with $25,000; Henry B. Joy of De troit, another brother-in-law of the i senator, with $25,000, and Mrs. Henry! K. Joy the senator's sister, with $10,000. The government attempted to show that all these persons conferred with Truman H. Newberry while he was a candidate, thus indicating his knowl edge of the campaign. It also has a number of letters which he wrote to politicians while the campaign was on. Frederick Cody, formerly a Detroit school teacher, but now of New York and connected with the American Hook company, was named as one with whom the candidate conferred. Conspiracy Is Alleged. These circumstances were also used as a basis for the allegation of the second indictment, that there was a general conspiracy to aid the senator to obtain office Illegally. There are two counts to this indictment, one Telating to the primary affidavits and the other to the election statements. The second indictment starts with a cou nt which charges expenditures in excess of the legal limit in the primary, in the primary and election combined; the second count a1 leges the same charge with relation to the primary alone, and the third repeats It as to the election aione. The fourth count charges violation of the state election law, in that more than $6750 was spent in the two campaigns. In this connection, it is pointed out that while the federal law does not forbid advertising in newspapers the Michigan statute specifically excludes etuch a pre-election practice. The statement of expenditures listed by the Newberry campaign managers in eludes items which total about $148,- 000 for newspaper advertising. Propagandists Alleged Hired, The count details that with the ex cess campaign funds, district and county agents and managers and r.urnerous secret propagandists and detectives were hired and their ex penses paid; moving picture film were bought and much literature dis t ributed, all of w hich acts were leged to be In violation of the Mich igan law. The government agent paid they had proof that one movi tilm alone cost $8000. The fifth count charges conspiracy to commit thousands of offenses against the federal act of October. 1918. forbidding payment of money to voters. The sixth count bristles with accu sations. It alleges that certain de fendants each contributed more than the total amount allowed by law, Knowing all the time that they were Violating the statutes and that certain Unusally Acceptable Gifts "LIKLY" LUGGAGE Your family and friends will greatly appreciate traveling equipment, on account of its usefulness.

It is also charged that more than J100.000 was paid to newspapers, campaigners of all de grees, for office and hall rent, dinners and other entertainment. The charge that James Helm wa" hired on salary and expenses to run against Ford in the democratic pri mary follows, and then come accusa tions that republican candidates for county offices were paid money upon condition that they support the New berry senatorial aspirations. The count concludes with allegations or wholesale bribery of voters, election boards and other officials. Vltnewne. ' umber Hundreds. Witnesses were summoned from every part of the state and represent ed both political parties. They num bered into the hundreds and included both men and women. Chase S. Os born. former governor of. Michigan nd one of the republican candidates defeated for the nomination by Mr. Newberry in the primary election, was the first witness summoned. Truman H Newberry, secretary or be navv in the cabinet of Theodore Roosevelt, was declared elected over Henry Ford. Detroit automobile man ufacturer, the democratic nominee, in Michigan's last senatorial election. Mr. Ford's name appeared on both the republican and democratic ballots in the nominating primary and this fact. together with the charges that money was freely spent in the election of Mr. Newberry, resulted in the making of radical changes in the Michigan election laws by the last legislature. Election Content Better. The republican nomination was curried bv Mr. Newberry after a very hard fight. Mr. r ord received tne democratic nomination. The election campaign became bitter, charges and counter charges being preferred by adherents of the two candidates. Mr. Newberry, who, it was claimed, spent no time in the state during the cam naien because of duties in the New York naval district, was Ilnally de clared elected by a majority of 567 riavs after the election.- The vote was: Newberry. 2L'0.054: tora, ZI2.4S Mr. Ford filed a petition with the senate at the last session, contesting Senator Newberry s right to a seat. . resolution proposed by Senator Pomerene. democrat of Ohio,-asked senate investigation, but received no action in the committee on privilege! and elections to which it was referred The resolution was re-introduced in the present session but, .at the sug gestion of Mr. Ford's counsel, action was deferred. PETITION'S STATUS TO STAY Henry Ford's Move to Unseat Xeir - berry Still Pending. Newberrv had not returned to Wash ineton tonight, but it was believe bv other senators that the action of the Michigan grand Jury in his case would not change the status of th petition that he be unseated filed by Henrv Ford and pending before th senate committee on privileges and elections. The outcome of the proceedings i Michigan would be awaited, it was said, as tbe senator hardly would be called upon by the committee to de fend his title to his seat in both places at the same time. ?es of criminal s-yndicalism In Cen- traiia and Chehalis. as well as 11 murder charges. 22 cases of criminal syndicalism in Tacoma, four in We natchee, four in Walla Walla and two in Bellingham.
