tion or qualification. Upon these
facts. as I then believed them to be
and as I now believe them to be. 1
she." abide the result with a clear
conscience." _
A business man and not an exper-
ienced speaker. Senator Newberry. of
short. sturdy figure. with glasses over
his blue eyes. said he desired to give
the Senate what little information ne
had personally regarding the charges
made against his manner of election.
At the outset he asked that he be not
interrupted until he concluded his pre-
pared address
”I can'not remain silent any longer
dming the consideration of my right
to represent the State of Michigan asl
one of its Senators." he said. "I did
not volunteer to appear before the
committee of the Senate which took
testimony in this matter because 1
really had no information that would
assist in the investigation of the
charges tiled by my opponent. It
seems to be that the time has come to
speak. because my silence might be
misunderstood by my friends.
“As my coleagues in this body
know. and is also well-known by my
associates and constituents in the State
of Michigan. I am not accustomed to
public speech. and whatever service 1
have been able to render to my coun—
try or to others. has been entirely
along lines remote from oral debate.
Therefore. I earnestly request my as-
sociaxes in the Senate to permit me
to proceed with my statement with in-
terruption.
"I shall the state whole case. as I
know it. fully. frankly and honestly.
as in the presence of God and before
my fellow Senators in this great tri-
bunal: and I shall do this just as com—
pletely as I am able to do it. I can
add absolutely nothing to what I am
about to state to the Senate. I must
abide by whatever effect it may have
upon the conscience and the judgment
of the members of this body.
"It is perhaps unnecessary for me
to say that I shall confine inyserr
strictly and entirely to the facts as
I know them to be and shall not at-
tempt in any sense either by argument
or appeal to affect in the slightest de-
gree. the judgment of this body. So
far as I am concerned. I dome that
the facts as they are shall determine
this matter.
"On the sixth day of Junc. 19l7. I
was commissioned a lieutenant-com-
mander in the l'nitmi Stairs Nayy. and
on July Ell. 1917, l was assigned to the
Third Naval District with headquar-
ters in lht‘ lirooklyn Nayy Yard. I
immedlaio-ly took up my duties there
and from that day. July 21!. 1917. un«
til after tho- signing of (he arnlistlco.
November 11. 1918. I “as nt'Vt'l‘ in
EM#‘MAH\IL ._ .. ..,..‘........_, you“... . .
of my friends. but these were made
without my knowledge or consent."
"As every Senator knows. this form
refers only to campaign 'contributions.
disbursements and promises and 1th
nothing else.
“I had not the slightest intention of
misleading any one in making this
statement nor do I believe any fair-
minded man was in the least deceived
thereby.
“The form of report furnished by
the Senate under the act 01‘ Congress
then supposed to be in force (but
which has since been declared to be
void). called for a full. correct and
itemized statement under oath. of all
campaign contributions. names of con-
tributors. all expenditures and the
purposes for which the expenditures'
were made.
“I had not the knowledge required
to make such a verified report. Had
my affidavit so stated this fact. all
miticism would have been avoided. !
made the statement in the form it was
made in. without" consultation with
anyone. and it was literally true. I
had taken no active part in the cam~
paign. I had not even been in Michi-
gan. I had neither received nor ex-
pended any funds and had no personal
knowledge to enable me to make the
report called for.
“On one or two occasions during the
campaign. questions of policy were
discussed between Mr. King and my—
self in New York and in each instance
the judgment of Mr. King controlled.
"As I recollect the facts in one or
two instances. his action was the exact
opposite to what I felt was the best
thing to do. I knew generally what
was going on in Michigan. I had con-
stant knowledge so far as information
was concerned. regarding the progress
of the campaign. but I had no direct
participation in it.
"I knew, as a matter of fact. that a
campaign of publicity was being ex—
tensively carried on. and I realize that
such a campaign must necesarily cost
a. considerable sum of money; but I
did not have the faintest idea as to the
amount of money that actually was
expended until after the report
was made public. The cost of the
campaign was about 5195.000. accord-0
ing to the report. and when i learned
of this amount. I was at once filled
with astonishment and regret.
"The amount expended was more
than ought to be necessary to expend
in any ordinary campaign. Ilut this
was not an ordinary campaign.
"I can further say that in the
quisition of the money. in the solicita—
tion of that mom-y. in the collection.
of that money. in the use of that
mom y I had nothing whatever to do.
1 km w nothing \\ hatevcr about it. not
i-\rll the amount of it.

prehensive and successful campaign.
This is the only amount of money
which. directly or indirectly. I ever
heard mentioned in connection with
the Senatorial campaign in Michigan
until after the primary election _ana
the. report of the committee was filed.
"1 did not solicit or expend. direct-
ly or indirectly. one single dollar in
the campaign in Michigan in 1918. nor
did I know of the contributions made
until afterwards. The two statements
which I made under oath to the'Sen-
ate. are absolutely and wholly true.
The first is dated Aug. 14. 1918. and
omitting the printed form with which
you are all familiar. anal to which I
sincerely subscribed. I wrote in my
own hand. as follows:
"The campaign for
for United States Senator has been
voluntarily conducted by my friends
in Michigan. I have taken no part in
It whatever. and no contributions 01'
expenditures the been made with my
knowledge or consent}
“The second. dated Aug. 29. 1918.
with the same omission and in addi-
tion to the printed form to which r
sincerely subscribed. I wrote with my
own hand. we frllows under the head
of Contributions—None with my
knowledge and consent.’ And under
the head of 'Disbursements’——‘None
with my knowledge and consent.’ I

DANCE!) STOVE ABOUT STORE.
Albert Hal‘ner Tired of Pastime and
Had Three Young Men Arrested.
Charles and Gustave Amundsen and
Archie Wolfe will appear before Judge
George H. Vosburgh. in the down-
town court, this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
to answer to charges of intoxication
and breach of the peace. following an
exhibition of stove dancing in A] Hat'-
ner's store. on Liberty Square. at mid-
night. on Saturday.
The three were arrested by Patrol-
man John Roberts on complaint of
Mr. Hafner. It seems that the three
had imbibed some "home-made wine."
with the result that they became im-
bued with the sertngth of Sampson.
Hercules and Sandow. and, going into
the lunch—room part of the store,
grabbed the pot-1bellied stove. the
symbol of the Hafner Stove Club. and
tried to “waltz it around the room."
A little of this sort of thing went a
long way. and. after they had refused -'
to desist. Were placed under arrest.
Half of East Norwalk was present
early this morning at the court. when
a continuance was made until this
afternoon in the cases.
