NEWBERRY HEARING, | WILLIAMS, Ariz., Alexander Pearson, Army flier, today flew into the Grand Canyon, landed and took off again during an exploration of 3:: canyon to study its air currents for Physical Violence Avoided After Ford’s Attorney “Clears for Action.” Working through two prolonged sessions, the Senate committee hear- ing Henry Ford's contest for the seat of Senator Newberry of Michizan yesterday considered how far Senator Newberry was informed as to the ex- penditures in his 1915~ campaign. abated one row that threatened physical violence, and about forty minor ones between opposing counsel, and revise¢ the sick list among subpoenaed witnesses. A neutral medical expert reported that Henry B. Joy, Detroit capitalist. whe helped finance the Newberry campaign, might be killed by excite- ment or exertion, and the demand for his attendance was dropped. B. F. Emery, office manager for the Newberry campaign commiftee, how- ever, was reported by his wife as , “Somewhwere in Canada” when the in- vestigating doctors sought him, and reenwal of search was ordered after Senator Edge, republican, New Jersey, commented that all the details of money handling as the witnesses de- veioped them “seem to be up to Emery.” His name came prominently into examination when Charles A. Floyd, the campaign secretary, was being quizzed by Wiillam Lucking of Ford counsel, about checks for ap- proximately $35,000, which he said were “reconcilement checks,” matters of bookkeeping arrangement and rec- ording, but not duplicating expendi- tures. “You've been living off Newberry and his friends down in Detroit ever since this campaign,’ haven't you?' Mr. Lucking demanded. and Judge Murfin, Newberry counsel, exclaimed that the question was “nasty, dirty, common,” and that the witness didn't have to answer. shut up!" Lucking retorted, ring for action. Chairman Spencer, ter enforcing a truce, drew from | the witness an answer that the ques- tion and all its implication was “posi- tively” untrue. Paul H. King, Newberry campaign Tnanager, was cross-examined by Al- fred Lucking, for Ford, on the general question of Senator Newberry’s famil- jarity with the campaign. He explained scores of communications passing be- tween himself and the senator, who was a_naval officer held to his post in New York all through the campaign fight, and their bearing on the cam- paign. “I didn’'t take up the question of finance with him,” he said to the reit- erated questions, “because I knew John S. Newberry (the senator’s brother) was financing the campaign, and that I was practically unlimited as to expenditure.” REORGANIZATION JOINT | COMMITTEE T CONFER President’s Representative Calls Meeting for Preliminary ‘Work Tomorrow. | i | i The joint committee on reorsaniza- tion of the government departments has been called by Walter F. Brown of Toledo, Ohio, the President’s rep- Tresentative on the committee, to meet | body of seven-year-old Matilda Russo, | missing since tomorrow morning. ' The other mem- bers are Senators Smoot of Utah, ‘Wadsworth of New York and Harri- son of Mississippi, and Representa- tives Reavis of Nebraska, Temple of Pennsylvania and Moore of Virginia. A considerable amount. of prelimi- | nary work has been done. in the way of obtaining data regarding the du- ties and personnel of the various de- partments and bureaus of the gov- ernment. There is much overlapping of work, and it is the aim of the joint committee to bring about such a re- organization as will do away with this duplication, bring about greater efficiency in the government service, and, above all, save the government and the taxpayers money. Many suggestions for the reorgani- sation of the government departments have been made. Some of them are contained in a series of bills intro- duced by Senator McCormick of Illi- nois, republican. One project which will be considered 1s the combination of the War and Navy departments under one head in a department of na- tional defense.

COLLE! culture, MOORESTOWN, N. J., June 11.—The last Saturday evening. which was found today buried in _the cellar of a negro's shack not more than fifty yards from her own home, had been stripped of clothing and the throat and abdomen deeply cut or hacked. Police of Burlington and _Camden counties are sceking Lewis Lively, a thirty-five-year-old negro, in whose cel- lar the mutilated body was found. The crime was discovered yesterday and kept secret for twenty-four hours in hope of capturing the negro and the fear that if it became known summary vengeance might descend upon him because of the inflamed sentiment of the townspeople. While the authorities at first an- nounced the little girl had been mis- treated, a physician after an autopsy today expressed his opinion that she had not been attacked. In Lively’s house there is a small negro boy, whom his wife adopted. This child and the Russo children, who are of Italian parentage, had frequently quarreled bitterly, the po- lice say, in explaining their bellef that the murder was the result of a race feud.

National League Opposes Action to Remove Oil Duty, Scoring American, “Avarice.” SINGLE-TAXERS PROTEST [DENIES MURDER CHARGE. U. S. STAND ON MEXICO {xrs. Southard Pleads Not Guilty to Slaying Fourth Husband. TWIN FALLS, Idaho, June 11— Mrs. Lydla Southard pleaded not guil- ty today when arraigned before Pro- bate Judge Duvall on a charge of murdering Edward F. Meyer, her Disapproval of the administration’s |fourth husband. Mexican policy was expressed in a res- olution adopted ‘yesterday at the con- cluding session of the National Single Tax League. The resolution opposed any action by the American govern- ment to secure removal of the 35 per cent export duty on oil recently im- posed by Mexico, as an unwarranted-in- terference upon the powers of that gov- ernment, and deplored the “avarice' of American oil interests. No -grounds have been offered to the State Department to show that the duty was discriminatory or confiscs tory, the resol d, and speakers who discussegl the subject expressed the fear that interference by the American gov- ernment migl.t lead to further compli- cations. Efforts of the single tax:party to promote a single tax program were indorsed in another resolution adopt- ed. Some of the leaders of the league contended that this resolution was a ‘mere formality and did not indicate an amalgamation of the two organi- zations. James Robinson of Philadel- phia, national organizer for the tax party, however, declared the confer- ence action meant “the swan song of the group as ah organization.” He told the conference that the only hope of the single tax movement was through a _political party which could expand into the various states and thus develop a nation-wide strength. Those who opposed the resolution of indorsement hurled charges &t the tax party supporters, questioning i their motives and accusing them of seeking to obtain group control of the single tax movement. The reso- lution was adopted, however. FLOOD TOLL IS 106. List of Casualties Shown at Vari- ous Points in Colorado.
