SENATE TO GET NEWBERRY DATA Evidence Obtained by Dailey Taken to Washington. Walter Lewis, agent In charge or the bnreau of investigation of the Department of Justice, left for Washington ]aat night in charge of a big trunkful of records In the Newberry election fraud case. These records are wanted by the sub-committee of the Senate committee on priveleges and elections which ■will take up Senator Newberry's case Wednesday. Senator Newberry was convicted last year by a Jnry in Federal Court at Detroit of fraud in connection with his nomination for Senator on the Republican ticket in 1918. The prosecution for the Government was in the hands of Frank C. Dailey of this city, formerly United States district attorney. Recently the case was reversed by the Supreme Court of the Cnited States, largely on the ground that the Federal Government has no Jurisdiction over primaries. When Mr. Dailey was preparing his brief and argument for the hearing before the Supreme Court he had the records sent here from Detroit, and when he had finished using them they were turned over to Mr. Lewis. Following the decision of the Supreme Court Henry Ford, who was Newberry's opponent, demanded that the case be taken up by the Senate and os a result the committee on privileges and elections will take the matter up Wednesday.

$60,000 FIRE AT CRESCENT PLANT Mysterious Blaze Is Fought Two Hours by Fireman and Extinguished. Fire of unknown origin caused a loss estimated at $60,000 yesterday at tho Crescent Packing Company’s plant, Gardners T>ene and White River. Half the loss was damage to the building and the other half was smoke and water damage to dressed meats. William Gardner, a member of the company, today said it was impossible to give an exact estimate of the loss but that it would reach at least $60,000. He said the company was protected by Insurance. The first alarm was received at 5:19 o’clock Monday afternoon and a few minutes later Battalion Chief O'Brien sent in a second alarm. It required more than two hours for the department to extinguish the fire. The blaze started In the upper part of the big building where the coolers are located. It had gained such headway before the firemen arrived that the entire roof caved in. George D. Gardner, secretary and treasurer of the company, said no fires were kept in the building other than in the boilerroom. There is said to have been no electric wiring in the upper part of the building where the fire started. John Finn. 417 North Rural street, a dispatcher for the Vandalia Railroad, discovered the fire, and almost at the same instant Patrloman Thomas Fleming, who was on a street car some distance from the Crescent Packing Company, also saw the flames and sent in an alarm. The building Is located on part of the ground that the city had planned to use for a flood wall and there is some doubt about it being repaired. The dense clouds of smoke could be seen for a great distance when the fire first started, but as the streams of water poured onto the flames the smoke died down. Harvey Coonse is president, and H .H. Woodsmall. vice president of the Crescent Packing Company.

Charge Political Trick in T. H. Schools Special to The Times.

Birch Rnyh, physical director of the Indiana State Normal School, who was named as Record's successor, Monday refused to accept the offer, stating that he had been offered a better place with the Normal. Observers close to the school circles, state that behind the ousting of Records is a political ''trick.’* Their explanation is that Bayh was picked to succeed Records because the members planning the attack knew Bayh would refuse.

NAME CONFERES FOR REROUTING Councilmen and Company Officials Meet Tomorrow. City Councilmen Gustav G. Schmidt, Louis W. Carnefix and Jesse E. Miller were named by President Russell Willson to cooperate wit' David Matthews, engineer for the pr'.iic service commission, la investigating a schema of rerouting street cars in the business district at a closed conference of the council with the expert, following the regular meeting of the city fathers on Monday night. Exactly what the officials discussed behind closed doors was not made public, but it was learned the committee will not start work until after the conference of officials of the city and the Indianapolis Street Railway Company is held Wednesday morning. Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby was in the secret meeting for the purpose of helping guide actions of the councilmen so that nothing might be done which would weaken the city's position to demand from tho street railway company that it sign a contract giving to the city all of the rights, excepting that of rate making, which the city had before the company surrendered its franchise, it. was thought. The councilmen were invited to gttend the street railway meeting by Mr. Ashby and the majority said they would accept. The question of rerouting street cars came up last week while members of the council were in conference with the service commission upon the matter of regulating jitney bus traffic. Upon the promise of the council to take some action which would aid in the elimination of this competition with the Street Railway Company the public service commission ordered the 5 cent fare restored. Rerouting of cars so as to make faster i schedules possible would aid in getting ! rid of the jitneys, it w r as figured.

DEADLY INSECT FEEDS ON TREES City Department Sounds Warning on Tussock Moth Egg. Swat the tussock moth egg and destroy its caterpillar before it hatches and starts on a careeer of tree destruction, says a bulletin of the special service of the city park department, issued today. The bulletin is aB follows: “One of the most destructive leaf-eating caterpillars that infests shade trees is beginning to make its seasonal debut. This caterpillar is the larva of the tussock moth. This Insect passes the winter in the egg state. The eggs are deposited by females in September and October in conspicuous white masses. About the end of May the larva begin to hatch. They Immediately take to the leaves, increase in size and go through five molts, when they complete their feeding period and nothing but the principal veins of the leaf are left. The larvel period lasts four or five weeks. -They then pupate remain two weeks, emerge as adults, eggs deposited and caterpillars hatch —two and possibly three broods occur per season. "The most effective and easiest mean* to control them is to exterminate the egg masses as they appear. The feeding caterpillars may be held in check by spraying wUk arsenate of lead, using in the proportion of three pounds to fifty gallons of water. Banding the trees with tree tanglefoot will check migration up the trunk. "Those citizens having trouble with this or any other shade tree or shrubbery pest are urged to consult the special service, department public parks, for suggestions and advice."
