TRYING TO HIDE
Senator Watson, Georgia,
Charges Attempt to Screen
Actions in Morse Case.

A statement issued by the Depart
ment of Justice giving the history
Of the c. w. Morse case. which ended
lanta penitentiary, brought a charge
on the floor of the Senate yesterday
by Senator Watson Of Georgia, demo-
crat, that the Attorney General was
attempting to build up screen" be-
hind which to hide. The Georgia
senator predicted he would be un-
successful, however. and that the
present controversy may result in
disruption of the cabinet.
Senator Watson referred particu-
larly to the petition. contained in
the statement from the department,
showing that some of tie men now
urged release for Morse.
Discrepancy in Statements.
Senator Caraway of Arkansas, DEM
ocrat, declared that previous state
mentS issued by the Attorney General
had asserted that the shipbuilder
was released because OF his physical
condition and not as result of other
efforts
The controversy has become a ma
w
ing that many republican newspapers
had also attacked the Attorney General
and had demanded that he quit office.
The senator said that developments in
the controversy had shown that Mr..
Daugherty was mot much more of a
lawyer than Fielder, and practiced law
In the same way--by lobbying"
Public Demands Action.
Senator Watson further declared
that the country no longer believed in
the many promises made by the At
torney General" and would not pay
heed to his threats to prosecute war
time grafters until he really acted in
the cases.
TT begins to appear" the Georgia
senator continued. that it is hardly
possible to punish rich men any more

nuentlat friends gets picked up and the
big ones slip through. And 1t is had
