GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Kcb. 2.
Tho fraudulent eloctlon conspiracy
which the government charges
against United Slates Senator New
berry and his co-defendants had Its
inception in iNew York in 1917, ac
cording to the opening statement
which Frank C. Dailoy, assistant ut
tornoy gonoral, made- to tho jury in
United States district court here to
day. He named Senator Newberry
and Frederick Cody whom he describ
ed as "a legislative agent for large
corporations, particularly the Amer
ican Telephone and Telegraph com
pany, and the American Hook com
pany' as the men who madu the
"preliminary arrangements." He
added:
"They had determined to purchase
tho 'United States senatorship in
(Michigan for Mr. Newberry."
Mr. Dailey told tho jury that the
senator was then on "patriotic work"
in Now York city as a lieutenant com
mander in the navy, adding that tho
American Book company "was large
ly controlled by the Barnes family,
to which Mr. Newberry was related
by marriage."
Mr. Dailey said that Cody was com
missioned to biro a manager for the
campaign and that .1. G. Ilayden,
"Washington correspondent of tho Do
troit'News, was offered $500 a .month
but refused tho position, because "he
did not wunt that kind of a Job." Mr.
Ktlllcy Bald solicitations of Ilayden
ceased suddenly aftor tho lattor had
advised Mr. Newborry "not to con
duct (i 'barrel campaign.' "
Mr. Dailey then shifted tho scene
to Detroit whero ho said In 'February
thero was a conference of Michigan
politicians known as "Cody men."
This conference, ho said, selected
Paul II. King, one of the defendants,
as manager of tho campaign.
Sixnids Vast Mum I
"During the campaign," said Mr.
Dailey, Mr. King paid o'ut a vast
sum of money."
The prosecutor then sketched the
publicity campaign of the Newberry
organization charging that they
sought advertising Hpaco in "every
newspaper and magazine in the
state."
Ho then turned to tho uso of mov
ing pictures, saying that Thomas It.
Phillips of Detroit, one of (ho defen
dants, was sent to New York to nogo'
tiate for them. '
"Phillips purchased about 1000
feet of an old film showing a review
of tho United States navy." said Mr.
Dailey. "Tho sub-titles were changed
bo as to make tho pictures applicable
to tho propaganda for which tlnV
wero intendod. Air. Phillips also em
ployed a moving picture company to
take 125 feet of new film.
"Mr. Newberry posed in various
attitudes in tho new film. Ho went
to a battleship located on dry land In
a New York park aud stood on the
brldgo of the ship and turned slowly
to face tho audience while tho cam
era caught him In this attitude.

The council also approved tho

The council considered an ap
plication for the admission of

Indian Privy Councillor From Ben
aal Warns Enolaml of Danqer if
Turkish Sultan Is Deprived of
Temporal Power 52,000.000 Mos
lems in India Would Rebel.
IONDON, Feb. 2. Temporal au
thority is essential to tho sultan of
Turkey and he should bo allowed to
remain in Constantinople as caliph of
tho faithful according to Umir All,
Indian privy councillor, who for the
hist 45 years lias held many offices
In Bengal.
"The proposal lo drive the Turks
out of Constantinople is a concession
to religious fanaticism and if the
Turkish administration is remo'ved
fi'om the city the bitterest resentment
will manifest Itself in India and all
Mussulman countries," he says.
About seventy million Sunni Mos
lems and twelve million Sliiaii Mos
lems in India, ho says, are in agree
ment as to t ho sultan's continued rule
at Constantinople.
After saying that tho principles of
Islam are fundamentally opposed to
holshevism, the emir goes on:
"Maintenance of the temporal au
thority t,T the sultan is necessary. His
temporal and spiritual power cannot
lu separated. Moslems wero assured
in tho lato war that tho caliphate
would not bo interfered with and that
Constantinople, Thrace and the home
land of the Turkish race would re
main In thoir hands; and on this as
surance Mohammedan troops bore
thoir tull share of the righting In var
