Challenges Accusers
Continued from Page One)

Soon after the attorney general
had made his declaration in a formal
statement Senator Caraway, Demo-
crat, Arkansas. who has been leading
the discussion. renewed his accusa-
tions, declaring despite denials made
by Mr.. Daugherty's friends since the
! matter was brought up. that Mr..
Daugherty at the time of Morse's re-
lease took credit for obtaining the
executive clemency.
II will never discuss politics" said
Mr.. Daugherty in his statement, but
there is little of interest to be said
in regard to the articles appearing
in the newspapers regarding the dis
cussions in the Senate and else
where, which constitute an attack
upon the administration and natur-
ally an attack upon the department
| of justice. This may be expected
| from time to time.

fully discussed in the newspapers

Morse Says Caraway
Has Not Right Start

| Bath, Me, May I'm q telegram
sent from his home here tonight to
Senator Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas,
who has charged that Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty was paid fee for OBJ
tanning the release of CHARLES w.
Morse from the Atlanta federal pen
itentiary in 1912. Mr.. Morse declared
that his release was due entirely to
his physical condition. The message
said
IF the press has correctly quoted
you, you have been misinformed re-
garding my physical condition at At
lanta and at the present time. The
| Communication accorded me was based
wholly on my physical condition as
represented to President Taft and At
torney General Wickersham by four
nurses from the Walter Reed hospital
under whose surveillance / was for
two months at Fort Mcpherson, and
four physicians. l think, from the
surgeon generals Office in Washing
ton, whose names I never knew and
from whom I never heard, directly or
indirectly, before or since.
mo physician gave me encourage
ment of recovery except DR.. Mac
Hiafaeva Of Rome. Last fall X-rays
at New York and alsb at the Naval
hospital in Washington developed that
my left kidney was filled with stones.
and surgeons wished to operate at
once. Being anxious to consult DR..
MacHiafaeva before the operation, l
was on my way to Rome when I was
asked by the department Of Justice to
4 return, which I did at once. I have
been trying since to secure a pass
port that may proceed to Rome to
consult him"
In making public the telegram Mr..
Morse said that he had signified his
willingness to appear before any SEN
atorial committee to testify on any
matter on which he could give infor-
nation. He had not received any in
vitation to Washington, he added.

Freeman F. Burr Will
Address the Community
Helpers This Evening

Such Augusta boys as attend the
meeting Of the Community Helpers
tonight will hear q most interesting
talk ON Forest Trees of Maine" by
Freeman F. Burr. These talks are
thoroughly practical and couched in
such simple terms that any boy can
understand what is being said and
store the information away for later
reference. BY degrees, Mr.. Burr
hopes to give the boys a thorough
knowledge of the coumon things of
our State. its plant and animal life,
its mineral resources. its woods lore,
and everything that nature has en-
dowed it with.
Mr.. Burr will use as the basis of his
talk the booklet issued by the Maine
Forestry Department entitled For
est Trees OF Maine and How to
Know Them" The Forestry Depart
ment has requested cooperation in
the observance of Forestry Week and
there could be no better way OF
giving that cooperation than to
teach q group of future citizens
about the forests of Maine. Every
boy who attends will be given q copy
OF the booklet.
This club is open to all boys be-
tween the ages of nine and 81. At
present there will be no attempt to
thoroughly organize with bylaws
and officers. The meetings will be
open to all interested boys and to
such of their parents as would like
to visit and observe the work. 1t is
hoped that the boys themselves will
enroll In such numbers as to war
rant the formation of five troops OF
Boy Scouts within a few weeks. AT
present there is no cost attached to
the membership except willingness
to give time to its projects. Tonight's
meeting will be held at the Chamber
OF Commrce rooms in Market Square.

poses are we'll known" In due time
1t will all be revealed. The depart
ment Of Justice naturally will not be
popular with persons who are being
brought and will be brought to jus
tice in due course. No activities OF
the department OF justice will be in
spired or conducted to help any po-
/ litical party. We are not much In
terested In years ago. What we are
interested in now is the Morse case,
and others.
When the facts are fully known
we would not expect even the per-
sons now being used for purposes
which they do not suspect to ever
refer to the matter again."
After reading the purported inter
view. Senator Caraway said:
"Mr. Daugherty ought to apologize
to Senator Watson. Republican In
diana). who was 50 quick to defend
him here on the floor Tuesday with
statement that the attorney general
never had any connection with the
case"
Senator Willis, Republican. Ohio,
interrupted to remark that Senator
Watson had not stated the attorney
general had no connection with the
case, but had declared the cabinet
officer never had received fee from
Morse.
mo doubt the attorney general
told the senator from Indiana con-
tinued the Arkansas senator, that
he had not connected with the re-
ceipt of a pardon by Morse. The
senator from Indiana undoubtedly
repeated on the floor what he had
been told. It. appears that he has
been misled by the attorney general"
During the colloquoy the name of
Chief Justice Taft. who as president,
granted Morse executive clemency,
was mentioned by Senator Caraway,
who said he was sure the former
President thought he was pardon
ing a man afflicted with fatal
malady."

No pocos repubicanos ha habido
que publicamente hayan expresado su
descontento inconformidad con la ma
nera de proceder del sefior Pietrantoni,
actitud que unos juzgan como rebelde
Y otros como inoportuna.
ST ell sefor Pietrantoni fue con bue

puje al partido republican,, segIn di-

bido plantear Ell asunto con sangre frfa,

de aquel que mas fuerte liable, que mas
gesticule amenace sino las de aquel
que Sc imponen por la fuerza de la ra
z6n por 10 convincente de sus argu-
mentaciones en- favor o en- contra de

No importa senior Pietrantoni que
en- estas u otras elecciones no ganemos
este aquel municipio. No nos preocu-
pan los triunfos efimeros del adverse
rio cIlando Sc vale de medios POGO es-
