WASHINGTONTS WATCHING FOR NEW THINGS IN SENATE PROBE Ford Filed Notice of Election Contest Before Newberry Took His Seat POMERENE OF OHIO LEADING THE FIGHT to Make Investigation of the Charges (By United Press.) Washington, Dec. 22.—Politicians here and the country over are watch- ing developments in the sensational Ford-Newberry election case with keen interest. Each party is seeking to benefit—democrats by claiming they forced the investigation, and re- publicans by asserting they welcome it. The controversy rags around two widely different men—Henry Ford a popular figure because of his specta- <ular rise from a humble mechanic to the world’s greatest Automobile man- -ufacturer; Truman H. Newberry com- ing from a rich family, prominent in society and trained in the etiquette of official life in Washington through former service as Secretary of the Navy in 1908.09 and as a commander in the navy during the« war. Newberry, as is usual with new .senators during their first term, has taken little active part in the pro- ceedings of the senate. He has made no speeches of length and has only taken the floor at rare intervals to introduce a pension bill or a bill for a bridge of local improvement in his home state. Newberry Active. He has been fairly active in com- . mittee work, however, especially in the senate naval affairs committee, ' ‘where his former experience as secre- tary of the navy, also as assistant -secretary and later as a commander, has been of value. He also takes part Jn the senate banking and currency -committee’s work which has included consideration of the noted John Skel- ton Williams case involving charges of unfitness as comptroller of the cur- rency. Many important financial ills have come before the committee which Newberry through his experi- ence as a business man, has taken an . active interest in. o Ford Started It. The fight against Newberry started at the previous congress before he had taken his seat. Henry Ford filed notice that he would contest the elec- tion on December 31,1918. The sen- ate was then controlled by a demo- cratic majority and Senator Pomer. ene, Ohio, was chairman of the com- mittee on privileges and elections. Hearings were held and the senate + finally voted to order all papers and ballots of the Michigan .senatorial election preserved in anticlpatiop of a possible future récount. Resolution Drawn. When the republicans took control at the extra session beginning last May Senator Pomerene offered a reso- lution for complete investigation of the senatorial election to include both Ford and Newberry organiza- tions and to cover both the primaries and the election proper. This resolu- tion was referred to the committtee on privileges and elections, ordered reported out and was then referred to the committee on continent ex- penses which is required to approve all resolutions requiring expenditure of senate funds. The resolution was then allowed to lie without actien until Senator Pomerene threatened to.make an oren fight unless the com- mittee got busy. In a few days the resolntion was reported out of the renate. Represent Senate. The committee on privileges and elections {s expected to make the in- vestigation for the senate. Senator Dillingham, Vermont, is chairman. Other republican members are: Ken- ., Sherman, Ill., Fall, N. M., ., Spencer, Mo., Wadsworth, N. Y., Watson, Ind., and Edge, N. J. Demccratic members are: Pomerene, 0. (former chairman), Reed, Mo, Walsh, Mont., King, Utah, Wolcott, Del. and Ashurst, Ariz. How It Is Done.

Jill—What will papa say if he knows you touched liquor? Jack—He knows it already, Jill—What did he say? Jack—He sald, “Well, Juck, I don’t mind if I do.” Surely a Great Man. Henry had just started to school and was filled with the patriotic spir- it of the times, as well as kinder garten wisdom. “Was Francis Scott Key a great man?” he asked one day of the folks at home. “I think he was, why?” *’Cause I think a fellow that writes a song what everyone has to stand up to, must be a great man.” THE BEMIDJI'DAILY PIONEER Uncle Sam Is to Epnd Chemical Warfare Service ) ASHINGTON.—Announcement by the war department that will enlist ‘W92 and concentrate at once at the Lakehurst proving grounds 1,000 men from'the chemical warfare service indicates Uncle Sam will not neglect the devélopment of this branch of the mod- ern ‘army. i ——— When the war ended America had Senate Committee Is Appointed | mago wonderful advancement in the methods of chemical warfare. There havé been prominent army officers who have suggested that the conflict was | foreed to a quicker éonclusion by the work that was done at Lakehurst, ex- pressing the belief that German spies may have carried information as to the eficlency with which the United States employing these new devices could ex- terminate armies and cities. The recruits will be enlisted in the infanry and imniediately assigned to the chemical warfare service. Only white men will be ‘accepted. Lakehurst was selected by the government after a countrywide search for sites as the most available place for its tests of ordnance and chemical warfare materials. One of the most famous gases developed there was a mustard variety ten. times stronger than that employed by the Germans against the Americans, Experiments showed that it frequently killed on contact. Another gas, which the country has already learned could have wiped out Berlin life in a night, was perfected in & remarkable series of tests. —_— ——————— Riches In Apricot Stones.

MEAT INJURIOUS TO THE KIDNEYS Take a Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Blad- der Bothers We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. - ' The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the over- work; they get sluggish; the elimin- | ative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained-in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervugs and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weath er, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tahlespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemonjuice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus eAding urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink, and no- little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active. gllllllllllfllllllllllIIIIIIIII||=I|I|III|IIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIllI|I|||IIIIIIIIII'|‘|III||IIIIIIIII|IIIIII|II||I||III||||II“llIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHIIIIIIII_,L';':: can help you.
