NEWBERRY DEFENSE
LAUNCHES ATTACK
ON FORD AND SON
Henry and Edsel Are Center of
Tirade Around Which Adroit
Cross-Exami nation Revolves.
Grand Rapids,, Mich.. Feb. 20.
(I. N. 8.) A bitter attack on Henry
Ford and his son, Edsel, was made
in the Newberry trial today by coun
sel for Senator Newberry and his
12 f co-defendants, charged wlth
vote frauds and conspiracy In the
1918 senatorial campaign.
The attack was made through adroit
cross-examination of Claire Higble,
chairman of the grand Jury which origi
nally heard the-testimony of 100 of the
Newberry defendants, who had recalled
the statement of ten of them. One of
the latter was Dewitt Brown of Steven
son, who had threesons in the war.
WHAT BROWJf SAID
JJinn t itrown leu me grana jury no
was for Newberry because he was In
the navy, because his sons were In the
navy and because his wife was the head
of the Michigan Red Croes?" Attorney
Ooorge K- Nichols shouted suddenly at
Hlgbie.
"f don't remember," said the witness.
"Dldnf Brown tell the grand Jury he
was against Ford because he couldn't

too good to go to France, where his own
three sons had gone?" continued Attor
ney Nichols. I
CALLS FORD PACIFIST
"Didn't Brown tell the men of his
county It wm their duty to vote for
Newberry because if they did not they
would see Henry Ford, a pacifist, in
the senate? And didn't Brown testify
he paid 2f0 frOm. his own pocket to
help elegt Newberry, and that he would
give every cent he had to beat Ford for
the ake of hrs three boys In France?"
Highly could not remember. The
questioning appeared to be one of the
most telling strokes' the defense has reg
istered. Testimony that two of the defendants,
Frank D. McKay and George Welsh, re
turned to Grand Rapids from Detroit
with a fund of from $1400 to $2000 and
thereafter received many visitors at
Republican headquarters, was given by
Fred Vos, chairman of the Kent county
Republican committee.

following years, but it was not until
April, 1909, when he led a small expe
dition to success. The final discovery
of the North Pole was the result of a
five-day dash under most trying cir
cumstances, but It carried Admiral
Peary and the American flag to and be
yond the North Pole.
Admiral Peary was graduated from
Bowdoln college in 1877. He entered the
United States navy as a civil engineer
on October 26, 1881 : was assistant en
gineer in the construction of the Nica
ragua Bhip canal under government or
ders In 1884-5, and wss made engineer
in charge of the canal surveys in 1887.
I5TF.STOR OF CANAL LOCK GATES
He Invented the folding lock gates of
the canal. In 1886 he made a recon
naissance of the Greenland Inland lce
Ap' east of , pleco bay, 70 degrees north
latitude ; he was chief of the Arctic ex
pedition of the Academy of National
Sciences of Philadelphia from June,
1891. to September. 1892, to the N. E.
angle of Greenland (Independence bay).
He discovered and named Melville land
and Hellprin land, lying beyond Green
land, and determined the insularity of
Greenland, for which he received the
Culiem medal of the American Geo
graphical society, the Society of Pa
trons' medal of the Royal Geographical
society of London and the medal of the
Royal Scottish Geographical society of
Edinburgh.
Peary made another Arctic voyage in
1893, which lasted until 1895. during
which he made a thorough study of the
HttU tribe of Arctic highlanders and
discovered the famous Iron mountain
(first heard of.by Ross in 1818.) which
proved to be three meteorites, the larg
est known to exist. He made summer
voyages, in 1896-7. bringing the Cape
York meteorites to the United States.
GOES HIGHEST NORTH
Peary commanded from 1898 to 1902
the, Arctic expedition conducted under
the auspices of the Peary Arctic club
ofiNew York, during which he rounded

the Peary Arctic club, and returned In
October, 1906, having reached "highest

expedition In July, 1908, on the Roose

Cape Columbia. , February 15, 1909, on
the five detachments. The detachments
were sent back one after the other, the
fourth in charge of Captain Bartlett,
leaving Peary near the 88th parallel ;
from this point, with one member of
his crew and four Eskimos, Peary made
his final dash of 130 miles to the North
Pole In five days. The pole was
reached on April 1909, and Peary at
tained the dream or his. life.
SPENDS 8 HOURS AT POLE .
Peary spent 30 hours at and beyond
the pole. The Journey to the pole was
made in 27 "marches and the return trip
to Cape Columbia was made in 16
marches.
For bis discover of the North Pole,
Peary was given the thanks of congress
by a special act of congress, made a
rear admiral and showered with decora
tions and honors from every govern
ment in the world.
PORTLAND MAN WAS SURGEON
OF GREAT ARCTIC EXPLORER
"Admiral Peary was able to cope
with any difficulty that a human being
ever met with." declared Dr. L. J. Wolf
of Portland, who was the personal sur
geon of the Arctic explorer on his ex
pedition to the Far North In 1905-06. "I
admired him above all men I knew."
Dr. Wolf was in New York at the
time Peary was making preparations
for his next to the final discovery of the
North Pole, and hearing that Peary
wanted a surgeon, applied for the posi
tion.. There were 21 white men and 23
Eskimos In the party that spent a year
and one half battling the Ice and snows,
until they were finally forced to turn
back without havlhg attained their goal.
Xfr. Wolf, upon his return to civili
zation and his leave taking of Ad
miral Peary, never saw him again until
1917 on his lectin e trip in the North

By Vella Winner
"The allies were united in impos
ing destruction for the sake of an
ideal but are not united In. impos
ing this sajne ideal upon themselves.
and in thia, failure is found the
greatest weakness that confronts the
world today, said Coningsby Daw
son, author and. soldier, who is a
guest at the Hotel Portland and who
will be heard in a lecture this even
ing at the Masonic Temple.
"America performed a speedy and
splendid service In the manufacture of
food, clothing and munitions and In the
mobilizing of men, and those who par
ticipated in the battles acquitted them
selves with credit.
"But no sooner had the last gun been
fired and the armistice signed the guns
were not cold and the Ink was not dry
before the old pre-war political and
commercial jealousies of peoples and of
nations began to assert themselves and
instantly demobilization began, the men
must be rushed back home and Into the
factories lest some other nation sur
pass us in the mad scramble for money.
"Germany seized upon this weakness
and has been making capital out of it
ever since. She is fomenting trouble
and turmoil among peoples and nations.
We need not look far in this country to
see the hand of Germanay and the
things she is doing In Great Britain are
well known to the entire world.
"The evolution will not come In five
years, but perhaps in 15 years when
the affairs of the nation are in the
hands of those young men who saw
what war really meant through the
smoke of battle, and I have supreme
faith In them.
"If you were to ride over Europe in
an airplane today you would see a vast
country devastated and laid waste, but
in the center there would be a beautiful
green, untouched and unblemished coun
try and that would be Germany. She
Is lying in wait and she is witnessing
with great glee our early falling away
from the high war Ideals."

EXAMI5K ROBERTS TODAY
The entire day waS spent in hearing
the statement of Eugene Barnett, one
of the defendants, and In the attempt

! DOESN'T REGRET KILLINGS
On the witness stand Thursday after
noon Eugene Barnett admitted that he
did not regret the killing of the soldiers
of Armistice day.
Special Prosecutor W. H. Abel asked
him If he was not Indignant over the
shooting of the soldiers.
"No, sir," Barnett answered.
"That wasn't a nasty subject with
you was It?" asked the prosecutor.
No. sir."
"You were entirely willing to have
the soldiers killed?"
"Whenever a man is doing something
that he ought not to do he should take
the consequences."
"You think he should be shot down in
the street, do you?"
"I approve of anything that Is neces
sary." "So far as you are concerned those
soldiers were killed with your approval?"
GOT BIS GCPf
"I can't say they were killed with my
approval, but If the law does not protect
the man he has to protect himself," the
witness answered.
"You were not angry, then, over the
killing of the soldiers?" next asked the
prosecutor.
"I was not." replied-Bamett.
"But you were angr over something
else and went out 10 miles to get your
certainly did."
When J. C. McAllister was summoned
to the stand he said that Barnett had
lived with him In his rooming house at
Chehalls in 1915.
He said that Mrs. McAllister. Bamett
and a stranger were in the lobby of the
hotel when the parads passed by, and
later, when the ex-service men com
menced tearing down the porch In front
of the I. W. W. haU. Barnett suggested
that he had "better get out."
CEHTAI3TLT LOOKS SCARED
Barnett had no gun while in the Rod
erick, the witnesses asserted.
"Do you remember Janck (assistant
prosecutor of Lewis county), Allen and
Cunningham talking to you on the day
of Warren Orlmm's funeral, and that
you told them there was no one In the
.lobby of the hotel V Abel Inquired,
i "They didn't swear me they didn't
swear me," exclaimed McAllister, ex
cltedly. "What's the matter? Are you seared
to death T What are you so . nervous
about?" asked Vanderveer. thoroughly
exasperated, a few minutes later, when
he was reexamining the witness. Mc
Allister replied that he wasn't scared,
but he bore an appearance of extreme
nervousness all the while that he testi
fied. BATS BABUETT WAS PBESEICT
Mrs. McAllister was next called to the
stand. She said that she was 49 years
old. Her husband had testified that
he .was 61 years old. Mrs. McAllister
said that she had rented the L W. W.
hall to Brltt Smith at a rental of $20
a month and that the organisation occu
pied the quarters four months.
The organization members conducted
themselves in orderly manner, she said.
Referring to Eugene Barnett. he was
known to her as "Wttle Gen," she said.
She had known him about eight rears.

the witness narrated, and told them to
close up ranks. Two soldiers started
from, the ranks toward the hall.
She , heard the sound of shattering
glass and of splintered wood and then
the shots.
"Afterwards they tore everything else
to pieces," Mrs.'McAUister testified ex
citedly. "They must have gone wild,
I guess."
Vanderveer was not allowed to press
questions showlp'g how many attempts
had been mads to fire the Roderick
hotel since the raid was made; but In
his arguments to the court, he said two
efforts of this nature had been at
tempted. "Did you get a revolver then?" asked
the attorney.
"No, sir," she replied.
"Did you have one afterwards?"
"No. sir."
TESTIMONY CONFLICTS
In the morning Barnett had testified
that Mrs. McAllister had a revolver
and that It was taken from he by the
soldiers.
Mrs. McAllister said that she was in
jail for 22 days after the shooting. On
Armistice day she put out flags in cele
bration, the witness testified.
Barnett had testified that he took off
his coat preparatory to giving fight
when the soldiers rushed the hall, but
Mrs. McAllister said that he did not do
this. She denied that she was an L W.
W. sympathizer.
The witness testified to being ac
quainted with Mrs. Ben Casagranda,
wife of one of the victims of the shoot
ing, but said that she had never told
her that it was her husband's own faillt
that he had been killed.
On cross-examination she admitted
that she did not see any of the soldiers
reach the I. W. W. hall as she was not
in a position to see them as they ap
proached the building.
MEMORY IS FAULTY
When Prosecutor Abel began asking
her' as to a statement she had made in
the Chehalls county jail, the witness
said that there were so many examiners
that she was nearly frightened to death
end did not remember what she might
have said on that occasion.
one denied that anyone was shoo t in

anyone was shooting from upstairs In
the hotel, although she had previously
testified that she heard the shooting
from "overhead."
"Barnett, in his testimony, said that
he had sung the L W. W. songs many
times, and was familiar with -the parody
on i "Onward. Christian Soldiers," in
which one of the phrases of the I. W. W.
version Is to "file your bullet nose flat."

testified to knowing the defendant and
of seeing him about to cross the viaduct
over the Northern Pacific tracks, in
the northern part of Centralia, en route
to town on the morning of Armistice
day. Ray said that Barnett was dressed
in "chaps" and other garments of cow
boy garb, and that he asked Barnett to
borrow them to use in a masquerade.
BOY PROYOKE8 LAUGHTER
Mrs. Alma Roy, also of the Logan dis
trict, said that she knew Barnett by
sight, and saw hi m riding to town that
morning.
The jiext witness brought a ripple of
surprised laughter across the court room.
John Mahar, 11 years old. hardly came up
to Vanderveer's waist when the latter
ushered him into the court room.
With considerable awe at the austere
layout before him, the youngster held up
his right hand for the oath.
"And -do you know what happens to
boyt. who hold up their hands and swear
tc tell the truth and don't tell It?" asked
Vanderveer solemnly, after the derk
finished.
DID SOT SEE RIFLE
"Yes. sir." piped John. With serious
face and knitted brows he proceeded to
edlighten the jurors to the effect that
while he was "shooting marbles on Mar
ion street" he saw Gene Barnett riding
back from Centralia across the viaduct.
This was In the afternoon.
WMlliam Mahar, Eastern Railway k.
Lumber company employe, also saw Bar
nett under c6ndltions described by the
other witnesses.
Similar testimony Vw given by Philip
Mahar, Edward Ayera, 18 years old, and
E .Mahar, all of the Logan district,
while Oeoree Towner, residing "toward

town that morning, stopped and chatted
with him for a few minutes, and that
he wvas unable to discern that Barnett
was carrying a rifle anywhere about

the end of his incarceration came so

Man Who Taught Thousands in
War Arrives in Portland to
Give Series of Demonstrations.
With a record of life saving that
would fill a big book with thrilling
stories, W. E. Longfellow, Red Cross
life saver and first aid expert, ar
rrved in Portland Thursday from
Washington, D. C, to deliver a series
of lecture-demonstrations on sate
swimming methods. Longfellow,
for seven years a Red Cross worker
and prior to that an expert in the
same line at New York, is said to
have the greatest personal collection
of life saving "stunts" In existence
During the war the visitor taught
60.000 fighting men how to rescue their
drowning comrades, as well as how to
carry Injured men fromthe battlefields.
His course of Instruction reached army
doctors, ambulance men and engineers
as well as the combatant troopers,
ACCIDENT RECORD REDUCED
"We have reduced the annual record
of drownings from 10,000 In 1912 to
5000 last year," Longfellow said today
"but swimming, boating and other water
sports have increased fifty-fold. We
are not advocating a lessened interest
in water sports., but a safe interest.
Heretofore all attention has been gtven
to speed and like elements, whereas
we preach safety. It is our purpose to
investigate, when organized here, every
swimming and boating accident and to ,
prevent them by learning and correct
ing their causes.
"Every swimmer is a notential life

learn how to approach a drowning man,
how to break his holds, how to ' prevent

such things annually causes the death
of thousands of healthy men and
women."

pany. One pointed out that 5 per cent
of his salary, earned as a salesman, was
spent in paying carfare.
A barber yesterday insisted that he
and his wife poured approximately 5 per
cent of his monthly income into the cof
fers of the company. He comes to the
teity about 30 times every month and uses
the cars In the neighborhood of six
tunes on other jaunts.
I ABE INCREASE OPPOSED
Fare Is paid both ways. The wife
travels approximately 21 times to and
from home every 30 days, he estimates.
The total monthly carfare of the two is
about S6.84. He makes $130.
"I certainly don't want to see fares
rise," he says. "I can't stand much
more, and as it Is I think I pay more
than my share. Others that the com
pany helDS. the business houses and
el others, should pay their share." He
strongly favors removal of part of the
corporation's expenses, he declares.
A law student, working In the day. is
another that took a position favoring
less expense to the car rider. He makes
$120 ay month and rides to and from
the city once a day In addition to five
trips a week in the evening, three to
school. His car fare for the month is
estimated at $6, or 5 per cent of his
Income.

about all I can well afford to pay in
car fare now. I would like to see meas
ures to relieve the car rider of part of

1 An elevator operator declares that
she can't afford to pay any more than
cents. "I want any change made
that will hold the fare down. The pen
nies run into money now." she com
mented. She draws J60 a month. Her monthly
car fare Is about $4.80.
GIRL MAKES COMPLAINT
A telephone operator drawing $75 a
month also requested yesterday that
she be counted among those who want
a change.
"I see no reason why I should have to
pay more when those who are benefited
by the railway company pay nothing,"
she remarked. "And besides, I am pay
ing about all 1 can now. It Is pretty
hard for a girl to pay board and room.,
clothe herself, and meet other expenses
and still pay between $5 and IS a month
for car fare."
She estimates that she makes 47
round trips a month to the city for a
total fare of 15.64 or $67.68 a year.
It is the car rider who pays the bills
of the railway company. He is the only
source of revenue. Approximately
$4,500,000 was collected from him last
year, and more than a million mare
than that sum is asked this year.
