Howe for mayor this spring" was a slogan being passed about town Saturday following the announcement that the well known alderman and biviness man will probably be a candidate fo the place at the head of the city government in the approaching city campaign. Not only is his candidacy already being much and favorably discussed but it is also bringing out some other possible names for city offices. Ald. W. C.

Waiters, who is now representing the sixth ward in the council for the third consecutive term, and whose friends point to his record as one that credit on him as a public official, is frequently being mentioned as a candidate for city treasurer. Since entering the council he has closely familiarized himself with the details of city affairs and is considered well qualified for that important position. Mr. Walters has always classed himself with the rank and file of the laborers. Another Lansing citizen well known among the people generally who is talked of as a candidate for treasurer is Herbert E.

Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain has long been prominently identified here with labor as one of its leading spokesmen and representatives, and has always taken an active part a3 a citizen in city affairs. He holds I the confidence of people in all walks of who are acquainted with him or who know of his past record. Under the city charter the treasurer is a one term office, two or more consecutive terms being prohibited.

For that reason A. E. Hurd, present city treasurer, may not succeed himself for a second term, 80 one or more new candidates mus be sought for that office. TRACE CASH TO NEWBERRY (Continued from page 1.) ply. "I say only that I do not member it." "Did Mr.

Davis say his expenses ran from $30 to $35 a week and that he never received any, money from Paul King personally?" asked Mr. Nichols. "He said that he got his money from Mr. Emery or Mr. Turner," replied the witness.

"Were these men asked what their purposes and intent were in undertaking the campaign work?" "They were not," said Potts. He was then excused and Higbee was recalled. Higbee remembered that Joshua Boyd and "a Mr. Smith" were before the grand jury could not remember in what towns they resided or whether they came from Charlevoix or Kalkaska county. Higbee remembered that Harris told about his visit to McKee's office on his first Detroit trip and that he told King his private affairs and activities in war campaign work were taking so much time that he could not devote much effort to the Newberry campaign.

Mr. Nichols had the witness recall that Harris described the peculiar geography of Charlevoix county but he could not remember whether Shanahan was mentioned as having charge in the city of Charlevoix. Neither could he recall whether Harris had explained what items the $71 returned. "Do you recall that Harris said King told him that Newberry's. friends would provide enough money to take care of the campaign?" "I do not recall it." "Will you say he did not?" will not say that." Mr.

Littleton. "I thought you wished the notes for the purposes of cross examination." said the court. "So We do." said Mr.

Littleton. "I am reading them so as to suggest points to Mr. Nichols and save time." "Very well." said Judge Sessions. A moment later Mr. Nichols handed the notes back to the witness.

"It seems to me you read everything in the notes," he said. "Oh, I beg your pardon," said Higbee, "but I did not. I merely glanced at them as I recited what was "Well in recited all the facts. I word for word." said Mr. Nichols.

She said she hired 20 or more girls for this work at 50 cents an hour, either Emery or Turner paying the salaries. She said- there was money in a box kept locked in the office vault that she had seen only Emery or Turner handle it and that she had seen "bunches of wrapped bills in.

Mrs. Hamilton told of going to Saginaw to report the convention of the woman's relief corps, for which work she had arranged before joining the Newberry forces. told Mr. Emery I would not go unless could be spared," she said, "but was told to go by all means, as Newberry had just come out for woman suffrage and I might be able to do some good." Mrs. Hamilton said she met William Mickel at Saginaw.

"He told me he was a Democrat working for Newberry," said Mrs. Hamilton. "He said he was going to put up some man on the Democratic ticket who would have no show berry if he had to run "Was Helme's name mentioned?" asked Mr. Dailey. Helme's Name Mentioned.

"It was, but I cannot remember in just what way," said Airs. Hamilton. The witness then told what she had learned about the Bolo club at Saginaw from William E. a defendant. She said it was explained to her that the war vetorganizations could not endorse a political candidate, so the club was organized, endorsed Newberry and notified the Detroit headquarters.

She said the Bolo club was also discussed with her at Saginaw by James W. Dailey, the Muskegon contractor, who is the only of the 135 men indicted who not been arrested. "Did you ever take letters dictated of of of of of of of of of of of of THE STATE JOURNAL FEBRUARY 7, 1920 by Mr. Emery to Mr. Newberry?" she was asked.

"I have taken such she said, "they related to conditions in the campaign." Mrs. Hamilton said she had talked with Paul King's secretary, Clifford Sibben, concerning "several" trips he had made to New York with King to see Newberry. She could not remember how many such trips there were. She next said that form letters prepared in Detroit under New York date and sent to that city for Newberry's signature were addressed to postoffice box. Then Mr.

Dailey brought out that when King was in New York mail was forwarded to him from Detroit headquarters. "What was the address." asked the prosecutor. "The same box number to which mail addressed to Truman H. Newberry was sent," said Mrs. Hamilton.

Chamber Music Heard at Best Berkshire String Quartet Delights Large Audience at Auditorium. Devotees of chamber music listened to a varied and delightful program Friday evening when the Berkshire String quartet. composed of artists of unusual ability, gave their joint recital with Lois Johnson. a soprano possessing voice of splendid quality and ceptional range, assisting. When the quartet started to play the writer drew a sigh of relief for there would be no need search through a vocabulary worn thin by use.

Anything expressing praise would do from "amazing" to "zenith-touching" inclusive. Apparently anyone who has ever heard the Berkshire String quartet would need but to be told that they appeared at the Prudden auditorium on such an evening under the direction of the Matinee Musical and the Michigan Philharmonic bureau. The rest is, or should be, the silence of wonderment and inexpressible pleasure. Likewise Miss Lois Johnson with her high soprano voice of rare quality and sweetness added another laudable achievement to her credit and was forced to respond to encores time and again which site did most graciously. Her high notes were reached with ease and grace.

She was accompanied on the piano by Miss Elizabeth Ruhlman in an excellent manner. The members of the quartet sisting of Hugo Kortschak. Emil Ferir. Jacques Gordon and Emmerman Stoeber were accorded a reception and ovation by the audience when they appeared for their evening concert. Space exigencies prevent discussion of each number on the program.

Handel-Halvosen's Passagalcia for violin and cello was rendered by Mr.

Gordon on the violin and Mr. Stoeber on the cello. This was followed by a group of four gongs by Mias Johnson. She sang "Concentration." "Old Maid Song." "Nightingale Song" and "Tarantella" and was again importuned to respond to several encores during one of which a background was provided by Mr. Gordon on the lin.

The last number on the program was Schumann's "Quartet No. 3. in A major," which was in four ments. Nowhere in the program was there any tendency to exaggerate but the work of the artists characterized by qualities of delicacy, sensitiveness and winning Unusual unity of musical interpretation was felt and the artists' artistic conception and proficient technical abilities were remarkable Ag to tone coloring and and also as to mechanical rendition, it was a performance of excellence marred only by those persons (though fortunately few in number) who felt obliged to leave the auditorium before the end of the program in the most audible manner possible.

Collingwood is working toward, and for the purpose of discussing the project he has called a meeting of all probation officers and county agents in the state to meet in Lansing on Feb. 18. At that time steps will be taken to perfect the organization of a state association of probation officers. This movement was started Aug. 27, at a meeting held in the Chamber of Commerce at which Superintendent Frost, of Industrial School for Boys, together with Judge C.

B. Collingwood and Judge Richard Raudabaugh of the Lansing municipal court spoke regarding the probation farm' project. All of the speakers endosed the project and state officials including the governor are known to be in favor of it. Probation Officer Williams of Detroit was made chairman at the August meeting but his recent resignation left George Collingwood, Lansing probation officer, at the helm and rather than see the project die for lack of executive direction he has called the meeting this month in his capacity as "Practically secretaryiate in the union has an organization of probaofficers or an association of some kind," says Mr. Collingwood.

"There is no reason why we should not have one in Michigan. The organization of such an association will be the first thing which we will do. We will then take up the project of a probation farm and see if some definite conclusions and a plan of action cannot be arrived at. We do not intend to encumber our meeting with a long program and dry, lengthy speeches which will sound the praises of the probation farm project. We intend to meet for business.

TEACHERS' CLUB OF STATE MEETS HERE Salary Question is Discussed by Superintendent Knapp of Highland Park.

Take care of the deserving first was the theme of the address delivered Supt. T. J. Knapp of Highland, Park before 100 members of the State Federation of Teachers' clubs who met for annual banquet in the Central Methodist church Superintendent Friday afternoon. Knapp's subject was "'Teachers' Salaries" and he covered subject thoroughly.

"Do you really want your salaries raised?" he asked. "Have taken consideration what you are asking for when you demand an increase in saiary? In order to secure your raise you must justify it and there must be some compensation given the public in return. Remember that the price will have to be case your salaries are creased. situation in Lansing is a difficult one because of the high tax rate. There are many places where the tax rate is lower and yet more money is raised.

Conditions are not the same all over the state. I do not Want to discourage this talk about a minimum salary. Such a thing is easy to talk about but that kind of talk has no place at the present time. "Generally speaking, the beginning teacher is of very little value. Her prospects should concern her, however, and it should be her aim to make herself worthy of a larger salary.

The beginning teacher is not of the indispensable type. The figures in Lansing show that it is not the teacher who has been here only a year or so is in a bad way so far as her salary is concerned. It is the teacher who has been on the force for some time several years." Superintendent Sexton of the Lansing schools and Clarence E. Bement also spoke.

There still seems to be need for mental and physical rest with nobody able to guess accurately just how long Mr. Wilson will have to in seclusion. It is a fact however, that people around the white would be disappointed if the president were not back at his desk, during the spring months. No specialists have lately visited the white house.

Two of them happened to be in town, each on a different errand about three weeks ago, and they dropped in for a social call and not a medical examination. That means the president's case is no longer regarded as complicated or doubtful but that a course of rest treatment has been I prescribed in which medical attention is not such an important factor. The president is naturally restless. He wants to do more work should. He keeps in close touch with Secretary Tumulty, either by telephone or personal conference.

The White House is not such an easy place to keep in an even temperature which is one reason why the president had had to be kept on the upper floors of the executive mansion, most of the time before an open fireplace. It can be hardly said that official business doesn't reach Mr. Wilson when it should.

There are numerous questions which must necessarresolved by cabinet officers on their own responsibility but when it comes to the treaty controversy and matters of appointment to high offices, Mr. Wilson is personally occupied with them. He gets daily reports from Senator Hitchcock and a resume of what is happening in the political world from his private secretary so he manages to keep informed. It is a distressing confinement to Woodrow Wilson who has kept Washington on the jump for the last seven years in a pace reminiscent of his arch political foe Theodore Roosevelt. But while it is true of Washington always that the pace of the government is set by its chief executive, the extraordinary nature of the problems has confronting the government impressed upon observers the truth of that phrase in Mr.

Wilson's speech accepting the Democratic nomination in 1912 wherein he remarked in another connection but with a forcefulness equally true today that "there is no indispensable man."
