PROSECUTION CONTINUES jp:
TO PILE UP EVIDENCE !r<
IN NEWBERRY CASE,
By producing a letter from James'cf
F. 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

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

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."
