UNTERMYER SUGGESTS
CHANGE IN TARIFF BILL
Would Glue President Power
to AnnuI Any Rates.

Samuel Untermyer. counsel TO the
Lockwood housing committee. sought at
the committees hearing yesterday to es-
tablish that high tariff on building
materials made the combination Of do
nestle dealers easier. George ". Jesse.
Republican member OF the committee,
interrupted to say that that conclusion
did not necessarily follow.
you do not understand the Repub-
lican idea OF the tariff" said Assembly
man Jesse.
'Oh. yes l do" retorted MIR. Unter-
myer, "and / agree with the point Of
view. But a tariff against foreign COM
petition will work a monopoly or com
blnation at home"
When Assemblyman Jesse suggested
that Mr.. Untermyer's theory was one OF
free trade. Mr.. Untermyer replied:
II, would draw the line by putting In
the tariff bill provision whereby the
President, upon proclamation. at any
time upon proof OF existence OF com
bnation at home could do away with
the tariff on the article affected"
The session was devoted largely to
buildings In Buffalo.

Text of Daugherty's Letter.
The attack on Mr.. Daugherty In the
Senate followed the reading of the letter
sent to Senator Watson. Here is the let
ter:
MY DEAR SENATOR:
To-day for, the first time have
had an opportunity to read the Con-
gresstonal Record of May IL. page
6.726. relative to the colloquy in the
Senate regarding my connection with
the Morse case. have read news
paper comment on this discussion.
but II was of a general character,
and 1 thought 1t required no particu-
lar attention on my part.
I remember very well q general
discussion we had some time ago re-
garding the Morse case. / certainly
did not in that discussion make the
statement to you tnat l had no con-
nection with the Morse cases. civil and
criminal. Ny connection with these
cases was well known throughout the
country, because of extended public
ity some years ago. ! never denied
: it. and have no disposition to deny
it now. Nothing was done by me or
anybody else In connection with these
cases that could not be known to the
WhOie WuIlu WllnOut ieilcCtiOH upOI
any one.
Morse was released upon the recon-
mendation of Attorney-GeneralW Wick
ersham, who based his recommended
ton upon the reports Of eminent ply
sicians of the Government. includ-
ing the Surgeon-General of the Army,
and the records in the department
show all the facts pertaining to the
physical condition of Morse when he
was released. which was the sole
ground for Executive clemency.
AS for compensation. never re-
ceived anything from Mr.. Morse per-
sonally. All I ever received from
anybody in connection with the Morse
cases. both civil and criminal, was
about $4,000, advanced to me by Mr..
Fielder. and was about half enough
to pay my necessary expenses and
disbursements connected with over a
years active investigation, prepara-
tion and service In the cases.
I regret. Senator. If you misunder-
stood me.
Sincerely yours,
VI. NJ DAUGHERrY.
Attorney-General.

the Senate rules probably will be re-
1ected at the Republican conference To-

vote. Supporters of the new rule admit
they cannot muster that many votes
Members of the tariff bloc have been
restless over the slow progress being
made on this pending bill, and for that
reason they inspired the cloture move.
Their appeal met opposition from lead
ing Republicans, among them Senator
Lodge (Mass.) and Moses IN. HI.
During the debate on the cloture sew
eral Democratic Senators expressed the
opinion the tariff bill could be passed
by July Is under present rules. They
dentsd any filibuster. and contended
their sole purpose In discussing the
measure at length was to let the Amer

Meant to Repudiate Charge.

The evident purpose of the letter was
to repudlate the charge made by Senator
Caraway in a recent speech, In which
he stated Mr.. Daugherty had deceived
his friend, Senator Watson. by denying
he had any connection with the Morse
case.
To support his position Senator Cara
way read the debate between him and
Senator Watson on May IL. when the
Daugherty case first came up in the
Senate. tIst
In that debate Senator Watson said
Mr.. Daugherty had no direct connection
with the Morse pardon; that he did not
receive any fee. and his contact with Mr..
Morse while in the Atlanta prison was
for the purpose of procuring from him
certain information for another client.
After reading the Record Senator
Caraway merely observed: THAT lam
guage permits of no ambiguity. Now
the issue resolves itself In one of verac-
ity between Senator Watson and the
Attorney General"
Then Senator Watson (Ga.) read into
the Record some additional statements
from the informant to whom he referred
yesterday with reference to New York
liquor cases. They were as follows:

why did Mr.. Daugherty cause the

acts of Mr. Daugherty when he came
into office.

to resign from Congress to assist Mr.
Daugherty. issued a formal statement
In which he said:

Attorney-Generar. Statement.


Mr.. Daughertys statement outlining
the organization of the graft prosecu-
tions follows:
There will be organized a separate
division known as the War Contracts
Division under the personal direction of
the Attorney-General and the assistant
to the Attorney-General. Guy Goff.
This division is the outgrowth of the
existing organization within the De-
partment of Justice which has been in
vestigating and carrying on the war
contracts work.
"lt is now necessary, due to expan-
sion of the existing force, TO find inde-
pendent quarters where these special
counsel can carry on their work inde-
pendently of the Department of Justice
routine. 1t has been my endeavorr to
obtain quarters for these men in the
War Risk Insurance Building. where
they may be free TO devote their time
and attention TO these matters.
Five lawyers OF recognized ability
are TO be given full charge under the
direction of the Attorney General of all
cases growing out OF war contracts.
The work will be divided practically
as II was by the select committee on
expenditures In the War Department of
the House OF Representatives. That
regarded as feasible for this work for
the reason that the testimony taken by
the five subcommittee has been used
as a basis OF much OF the investigating
work already done by the department.
THE Jurisdiction Of these several
subcommittee was rs follows: No. 1,
Aviatlon No. 2, Camps and Canton
ments No. 3, Foreign Expenditures
No. 4. Quartermaster's Corps and No.
8, Ordnance.
Each Of the five lawyers in direct
charge also will have an associate Of
special ability and fitness for this work
and In addition thereto will be given
such other assistance as Is deemed
necessary. including attorneys, investi-
gators and accountants.
"While each of the five lawyers mem
toned will have charge OF a particular
part of the work as stated, II Is pro-
posed that the entire force Of lawyers
shall cooperate and work together as
a body. To this end general confer
ences will be held from time to time so
that the opinions Of the entire force
can be procured upon doubtful and diff
ncult questions as they ARISE. In thts
manner each group will have the bene-
At OF the counsel and advice of the
others whenever desired.
"a point OF contact on the war fraud
cases viii be established between tho
Department OF Justice and Senators and
members of the House OF Representa-
tives and such other persons as may
have facts to bring 10 the attention OF
this division so that all complaints and
al cases where fraud II alleged TO have
been perpctrated or In which the Gov
ernment is claimed 90 be entitled TO RE-
covery will be given consideration.
TT Is the purpose Of the department
that these war fraud cases be cleaned

effort to uncover alleged frauds against

Mr.. Daugherty also sent letter to
the Senate denying he ever repre-
sented that he had not been an attor-
ney for Charles w. Morse in his effort
to get out Of the penitentiary. The
reading of this letter, addressed to
Senator Watson Ind.), who had de-
MED that Mr.. Daugherty had served
as Mr.. Morse's lawyer, was the signal
for another assault on the Attorney
General. The letter was read by Sem

Senator Watson, who has not yet re-
turned from his visit to Indiana.
Nothing was done by me or anybody
else in connection with these cases that

Daugherty told Senator watson, adding
that the only pay he got was through

amounting to about $4,000. or half
