DAUGHERTY WANTS
s TO GET GRAFTERS
VIII Ask Congress to Extend Statute
of Limitations SO He Can Prose
.. cute War Offenders.

Congress will be asked by Attorney
General DaugheTty to act quickly and
pass Senator New 5 bill raising the
statute of limitations bar from three to
six years in order that the department
of Justice may not be defeated in its
program to prosecute war grafters.
II am ready to ask that this legisla-
ton be speedily enacted" said Mr..
Daugherty. 'sIt is necessary that con-
Tess pass the bill to save embar-ass-
ment for the government in the many
cases brought before it for investlga-
tom
Mr.. Daugherty said he was not able
now to disclose the number OF cases
that probably would be affected by the
three wear statute of limitations He
had been Informed that in numerous
cases, however, counsel for prospective
offenders were prepared to plead the
statute as a bar to criminal prosecu-
ton.
1t was Mr. Daugherty S opinion that
the government still can win most of
the cases it has had under investlga-
tion if the remedy is given.

EXPECT MANY
TRACK HORSES
Valley Fair Management Looks for Big
Entry in Races Set for
Sept. 27-2S.

Although it is yet too early to know
definitely how we'll the track events at the
Valley fair will be filled. officials of asso-
citation feel warranted in the belief that
the classes will be unusually large. One
reason for their opinion is the fact that
no races nearer than Great Darlington,
Mass, are scheduled for Valley fair week.
Both Rochester, \. H., and Springfield,
Mass, meets come the week before, while
Brockton and White River Junction are
the week after
BY the time the fair is ready to open
on the morning of Tuesday, Sept %, the
track itself should be in better condition
than it ever was. and it is not unlikely
that the management will offer $100 to
the driver whose horse viii lower the
mark of 2.09H made by Baron Alta in
1919. For 10 years previous to Baron
Atlas performance the track record stood
at 2.10H, made by Gallagher in the fa-
nous free-for-all race of 1909.
That there viii be plenty of music
during the fair program is assured by the
announcement that three bands-Brat-
tleboro. Springfield. Vt, and Shelburne
Falls, AIass.-have been engaged.

More Policemen
Needed, But Force
May Be Reduced
Twenty-Five Men May Be
Laid Off Next Month Owing
To Lack of Funds, Chief
Dempsey Says.

Heads of the police department
may be forced to lay off Is mem-
bers of the force next month on ac-
count of lack of funds, according TO
Chief of Police Dempsey.
Though the department has been
in need of more men for some time,
Chief Dempsey stated yesterday
that even to think of increasing the
force is folly.
The police department was $4,000
short last month, he stated.
I'VE could use 50 more men, he
stated, referring to report in an
evening paper. Sure, we could use
200 and even 500 more men to coed
advantage, but who's going to pay
'em? Truly, there arc parts of the
city that have never had a police
man on a beat There hasn't been
a police chief in Omaha that ever
had enough men to patrol and guard
the city properly"
Since the Dahlman administration
went into Office, 26 police officers
have been dismissed or laid off, the
majority recently.
Not until next year will the de-
partment have sufficient funds to
take on additional patrolmer and
detectives, Chief Dempsey said:
So low are the present funds OF
the police department, Chief Demp-
sew declared, that the heads hest
tate to appoint successor to the
late Captain Anton Vanous. Ser
geant Russell is acting police cap
