Attorney General Init
mates He Is After
Big Fellows
(By Associated Press)

Washington, June i14.-Investiga-
ton by the Department of Justice of
all major wartime contracts with the
government has been begun, Attorney
General Dougherty announced to-
day.
To handle the work, which has the
approval of President Haring, Mr..
Dougherty said a special bureau is
being organized which will have as
its head some we'll known man of
proved ability and a staff of experts
in different lines of business.
The purpose of the investigation,
it is explained, is to sift the war
time dealings of business concerns
and individuals with the government
so those guilty of dishonesty may be
punished and those whose dealings
have been fair may be cleared of
what, he declared, were suspicious
prevalent in the public mind that all
of the government war contracts are
open to question.
Declaring that the investigation
was not directed principally at "the
little fellows" the attorney general
said, eve will throw back any min
nows we catch in our net and let
them start over again"
At the conclusion of the work, Mr..
Dougherty said he would submit a
report to the President, but in the
meanwhile would not disclose the
progress of the investigation lest
the governments work be hindered.

the floor for more than an hour, with
characteristic speech, bristling with
satire and invective, the movement
bore all the aspects of concerted
attempt to precipitate general po-
litical debate, but the republicans de-
clined the challenge and made no re-
ply.
On President Harding, Senator
Harrison's attack was frontal, as he
belabored the republicans over pas
sage of the emergency tariff bill,
which he characterized as an utter
violation of party pledges" in its in
ception and IAN admitted failure in
~ ,ment"; for their difficulties in
- middle of the job of passing a
y resolution of peace with Germany
concerning which he taunted Senators
: Lodge and Knox, the republican
spokesmen on foreign affairs; and
for alleged failure to get together
with the President to reduce taxa
tion. President Harding, he asserted,
'invited tariff lobbyists for confer
ences" to Washington, and admins
tration appointments, including those
of Governor Bone, of Alabama, and
Chairman Lasker, of the shipping
board, he held up in scorn, winding
up with satirical reference to General
Sawyer, the Presidents personal phy-
sician.
Speaking from the center of a
group of democratic senators, who
pointed his barbs with question and
suggestions, he lashed out by name
at republican senators who refused
to be stung into retort. Only one,
Senator Kenyon, republican of Iowa,
interrupted because there is so much
laughter on the democratic side |
can't hear the jokes"
Strange Grammatical AcrObatics
Strange grammatical acrobatic
performances, they were, exhibiting,
Senator Harrison told them, remind
ing them that "the distinguished
senator from Washington, Mr.. Poin-
dexter" in charge of the naval bill,
came away from the White House
with gloom on his face because
President Harding could not Sustain
the Borah resolution for naval dis
armament.
"And then like clap of thunder
out of clear sky the whole crowd
over there" he added, pointing to
the republican ranks, Changed right
around.
"You promised to establish peace
right off the reel' he told them, "yet
your simple little resolution is not
passed yet. The resolution framed
by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania,
supported by your majority leader,
Senator Lodge, whose name is
household word, is demolished in the
house. They have offered you an in
suit and it is said the house resolu-
tion, not the senate's, has President
Harding's favor.
"Yes", chuckled John Sharp Will
liams, of Mississippi, "they have
mixed the babies up"
d Roots Emergency Tariff
The emergency agricultural tariff
which was offered to "raise the cost
of everything on the workingman's
table,, Senator Harrison said, had
done mo good to the farmers of the
country, though you wouldn't let us
take the tariff off the things the farm
er has to buy.
