(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Sept. 29.—Opinions
conflicting strongly along party lines
were presented todW by majority and
minority reports or the senate privi
leges and elections committee on the
Ftord-tNewberry senatorial election
contest from Michigan.
The majority report cleared New
berry on the corruption and all other
charges and recommended that he be
seated.
The minority report asserted that
Newberry had been elected “by cor
rupt and illegal methods,” and rec
ommended that the seat be declared
vacant.
With the filing of the papers the
case now goes to the senate for final;
action, which will probably not be!
made for several weeks.
fa the meantime it is understood
that Newberry will not attend the!
senate sessions. On two major is- j
sues both factions agreed—that Hen-j
ry Ford the democrat, had not been j
elected and was not entitled, there !
fore to the seat, and that too much j
money had been spent in the Michl ;
gan 'primary.

6000 LUCK SAVED
PROMINENT CUBAN
Dr. Masqueque, of Havana, Cu
ba, is Detained on Charge of
Reckless Driving, But by Pe
culiar Circumstances, Deten
tion is of Short Duration.
By a piece of genuine good luck
yesterday, Dr. J. G. Masqueque, of
Havana, Cuba, is not detained or his
handsome Mercier pouring car attach
ed. It seems the Cuban physician,
with his family, was enroute from Ha
vana to New York and had a collision
wtih parties from the west, b:mnd for
Florida. The latter were in an Ov
erland and it wus damaged to a con
siedrable extent. The accident oc
curred about live miles from Bruns
wick and was witnessed by a local
merchant who telephoned Officer
Long and he went to Darien and
arrested the eminent Cuban doctor,
taking him to the court house.
In the meantime the people whose
car was struck went to the court
house having been informed that Dr.
Masqueque bad been arrested and
proceeded to the office of Sheriff
wri.f nrTWatiifitriVfiuih in custody of an
officer. The officer and thedoetdr did
reach the court house, but went Imme
diately to the court room in which
Judge Butts was holding court. The
matter was stated to judge and So
licitor Scarlett said he did not think I
the physician c< uld be held criminal
ly and he was discharged. All the
while the complainants were serenely
sitting in the office of Sheriff Pyles
and when they Anally went to press
the case against the doctor, he hud
been discharged and was oh his way
to New York, where he will enter the
Cuban consulate and also study med
icine for a year before returning to
Cuba to practice. He states that he
is a nephew of President Zayas, of
Cuba, and appears to be a man promi
nent in the afTairs of his country. He
proceeded on his Journey to New
York while the owners of the damag
ed car from the west are out the sum
It will take to put it In repair. It was)
just a case of luck and while the Doc j
ter may have escaped criminal pro-!
ceedlngs he would evidently have |
been detained for damages.
