Cited by Witness
Where proper ventilation of tunnels
does not obtain, it Is possible for loco
motives to create carbon monoxide, a
deadly poison, according to testimony
submitted today to . the public service
commission at the continuance of the
tunnel Investigation resulting from the
St. Johns tunnel trouble of Christmas
night
Fred Rasch. examiner for the com
mission, testified that when one train
follows another through tho tunnel
without sufficient time elapsing for tho
air to clear, carbon monoxide can be
created through further chemical action
to the carbon dioxide emitted by tho
preceding train. !
Dr. F. R. Menne of the University of

other stockholders in the United Motor
Bus company today filed suit against
tho company and Its officers, asking the
court for appointment of a receiver to

A clever scheme of making money,

guise of legitimate business, is charged
to the officers In control of the company.
It is claimed the concern was formed to
operate motor busses, but that. Instead.
U hag P rivals owners of cara make out
bills of aald to tho company and then
operate the cars as though they belonged
to tho company, H
The private owners each pay the com
pany $10 a month' for the privilege of
using the company's name. It is charged.
The concern Itself has never been In
active business, but has profited off the
"Uttle fellow." according to the com
plaint The firm la capitalized at $10,
000 and la receiving SiOOO a month from
the small bus operators, it Is charged.
The officers of the company have of
late concealed the books and failed to

tions at the time they invested their
money.

"The senator from Arkansas will not
press his question if the senator from
Michigan seeks to impose any conditions
from him,' Caraway shot back.
SPEAKS OF SUFFEItnrO
"Senator Newberry has suffered the
tortures of hell," Townaend shouted.
"He would give his last dollar if he had
never entered the Michigan senatorial
race. Ue has suffered persecution and
sorrow and misrepresentation ; his heart
and feelings have been torn hy cowardly
slander and Uea."
Townsend denounced Ford aa he quot
ed from newspaper reports that Feat!
planned to conduct a widespread cam
paign thi year against the reelection of
any senator who voted to allow New
berry to retain his seat.
If Truman Newberry and his friends
bought bis election thousands of peo
ple of Michigan sold it to him." Town-
send said. "But there hasn't been one
scintilla of evidence that fraud or cor
ruption was employed by Truman New
berry and bis friends.
"The charges made against Newberry
ar not only an indictment of Senator
Newberry but of the people of Michigan,
and 2 don't believe it has been properly
brought."
WOULD PBOTECT 5KWBERBT
Reverting to the possibility of New
berry permitting himself to be ques
tioned by his colleague when he reads
statement tn hi own defense in the
senate Monday, Townaend said he would
lose much of the respect he had for
Senator Newberrj if he permitted hia
senatorial critics to cross-examine or
heckle him."
Senator Newberry la a senator here
and ho has a right to com here, if he
comes at all. as the peer of any other
senator here," Townsend continued. "He
has demonstrated that by the integrity
of hi oeraonal life."
Townaend demd erapnaueairy inai
Newberry "had Jn any way directly or
indirectly, financed nuj primary cam'
palgn."
EAJf AGAUrST WISH
Senator Newberry'a distinguished pa
triotic services had won for him th
personal friendship and regard of for
mer President Roosevelt, Townsend con
tinued, as he reviewed Newberry ca
reer first as assistant secretary and then
aa secretary of the navy daring the
Roosevelt administration.
"Senator Newberry knew little about
polities, he was in no sense a politician,
he waa a business men," Townaend aald.
He did not want to enter Michigan poll.
tics or become a senatorial candidate.
He-consented very reluctantly to do so,
when his friends urged upon him that
it waa hia patriotic duty to help prevent
Mr. Ford, a pacifist, from entering the
senate.
"Mr. Ford had spent thousand of
dollar in newspapers, advertising, vrg
ing; the reelection of M. Wilson en th
plea that kept us out of war, and
Mr, WUson sought to reward him by
drafting him as a senatorial candidate.'
POT7JTDS DESK
"We an suffer from our fool frienda,"
Townsend said aa he denied that New
berry possessed any personal knowl
edge of the expenditure of money by hi
relative and friend in furthering his
senatorial candidacy.
"To much money waa spent in Michi
gan for Truman Newberry' own good.
Townsend shouted as he pounded the
desk before him with hi fist. Ther
were three candidates for the senate tn
Michigan in 1911 and they wr ail mil
