McGregor, Upper Peninsula Field jo agent, to -Newberry in nPvv York,!p which said that the campaign wasj ( progressing in the Upper Peninsula ii \ and that many railroad and mining, u companies had come out for New-1 berry, the prosecution yesterday jc tried to show that Senator New- a berry was aware of the amount of a money being spent in his campaign, j A sensation of the day was the t( testimony of William R. Barber of j ? Harrisville, County Clerk of Alcona: County. Mr. Barber testified that;E Benjamin F. Reed, a Newberry field ti agent and one of the indicted men, !d had th patened him with defeat forjS re-election if lie aid noi suppunpi Newberry. "I suggested a county i chaifman to Reed, but he wanted me j to take the position," said Barber, v *\ "I told him I could not, for I had Jc friends among all the Senatorial Jc campaign workers. Reed told me liu had better be careful, for Newberry h was organizing every county in the i State and that all kind of money ii would be spent." ' ti Roy E. Whinney, a Deputy oherilT, (tl admitted that he had worked for! C 1 Chacc S. Osborn in the Upper Penin-, sula during the campaign and was !tl paid $10 a day and expenses for nineiS days. * ( : 'a REDFIELD STANDS In BEHIND LANSING t( New York, Feb. 14.?The caoiner n I meetings called by Secretary Lansing c; were "necessary if the nation's busi-.w ncss was to proceed regularly," For-!si mer Secretary of Commerce William\w C. Redfield declared in -a statement w here tonight in which he expressed the belief that "other causes" than. tl the calling of the cabinet sessions by'ti Mr. Lansing "lay behind the presi-'u dent's request for his resignation." ip ""?he request for Secretary Lans-i^ ing's resignation was a great surpriso! and shock to me," said Mr. Redfield,' who was a member of President Wil-: son's cabinet until November 1 last. B was nrp?.ent at the first meeting P of the cabinet under Mr. Lansing. ,s< The members sent word to Mr. Wil-jC son through Dr. Grayson that theyjb were meeting, and expressed hope 'C that the president would have a|h' speedy recovery. Admiral Grayson |b' brought back an inquiry from Mr. j-A Wilson as to what business was on!? hand, and the cabinet members re-1 ' plieu chat they had met in conference I 1 to determine their duty in view of hie disability. "Xo word of disapproval of our meet'ngs ever came from the White House to the best of my knowledge. The cabinet gatherings were volun-j tary, informal, and, to my mind, nec-: essarv, if the nation's business waste proceed regularly and with intelli' l-J gem Knuwreugc ui ..???* >?. i 'T accept my share of responsibili-1 ty for what was done. To my Unow-j lodge there was never the faintest ( suggestion in word or spirit that the I cabinet members were trying to do! anything except help President j Wilson during his illness as far as we were able. "Of course, T can speak only of | what happened up to the time of my I withdrawal from the cabinet. As the' published correspondence brings out, I I am forced to believe that other j causes than the request by Secretary' Lansing to his colleagues to meet^ for consultation lay behind the presi- c dent's request for his resignation." j P Omaha, Neb., Feb. 14.?Former i j President Taft manifested great sur-j * j WO DAYS "THE Admission rise today at the news of the isignation of Secretary Lansing. "What did the cabinet do at the i anference?" he asked. "Does anyi I1 ne know what they did that - could i. ossibly have., been displeasing? It j ?ems to me the most natural thing 1 the world for them to have met nder such circumstances." The former president with a huckle disclaimed desire to express ny opinion on the theory that he was n "exDert witness." The former president spoke here oday. St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 14.?William [. Taft, only living ex-president of j lie United States, said here late to- j ay that the public will side with ecretary Lansing in the controversy nth President Wilson which rssulted 1 the resignation of Mr. Lansing. "I believe that Secretary Lansing ras acting altogether within his ights in calling conferences of the abinet members." Mr. Taft said. ''T *ould not call them cabinet meetigs. "To my mind calling such meetigs does not constitute any assumpion of presidential authority within ie meaning of the constitution." ' / . New York, Feb. 14.?Referring to le resgnation of Secretary Lansing, peaker Gillett said: "I have known him for many years nd while we differ politically, every ran felt easy in the trust committed ) his hands. I do not want to say ere anything of political signifiance, but it seems to me hard that hen his chief was disabled, he lould not have been able to confer 'ith his colleagues in matters with hich they were charged. "I can not refrain from adding latl believe that in our administraon of affairs there had been more 'illirigness to consult and ascertain ublic opinion, America and the orld would be brighter today."
