CUMBERLAND, Md, May 10.
The body Of George Norris,
fifty-five years old. a prosperous
farmer. with three shotgun
wounds. was found in the road
near his home this morning not
far from Little Orleans, this
county.
His riderless horse had returned
home during the night and mem

began the search which resulted in
the finding of his mangled body.
Three empty shells were found

ing moonshine.
Norris openly expressed his dis.
approval of the lawless act and had
aroused the antagonism Of a Ger.
tain element through repeated de-
nunciation of moonshine-making and
other unlawful activities in the
community.
Arrests Expected.
1t is reported that the trackman
who was assaulted died last this
morning, but no confirmation has
been received, owing to poor wire
service and lack of telephone com.
municstion. 1t is thought that the
assailants of the track employe were
five brothers, and that they are
also responsible for the shooting OF
Norris.
Search for the suspects is being
made by Peter Mcfarland, county
sheriff, and F. Clements Dineen,
county detective. Arrests are ex,
pected momentarily.

Proposes Giant Warehouse
System to Regulate Flow

Thomas A. Edison, the worlds
electrical genius, appeared before
a secret night session Of the Sena-
torial Agricultural Inquiry Commit
tee, and recommended establish
ment by Congress of titanic Gov
ernment warehouse system for solv-
ing the nationwide agricultural de-
preston, it was learned by Inter
national News Service today.
Is Storage Plan.
The plan which Edison urged
Congress 10 adopt would give Amer
ican farmers an almost monopolisttc
control over the price OF their pro.
ducts, through operation OF a full
year" storage provision.
Edison proposed that the ware
houses would be used as the basis
Of farm credits under which farm
ers could get a fair return on their
products." He specifically urged
that the farmers be given permis'
sion by the Government to store
their products for full year IF
necessary" in order to insure fair
return.
The committee members explained
to the famous inventor that there
were seven bills pending before them
some OF which were modelled along
the lines laid down in his suggestion
Edison was informed his suggestion
would be taken under serious con
sideration in the framing OF future
legislation.
Other Proposals.
Edison offered two other means OF
relieving agriculture depression. He
approved direct financial aid by the
Government to farmers and also
suggested the establishment Of live
stock credits through Federal Re
serve Banks.
In explaining this plan. Edison
said:
THE warehouse credit system
would provide adequate credit facili
ties so that the farmer will not need
to dump his crops on the market
until he can receive a fair price
for them"
The effect Of this suggestion, II
was indicated by Senators attending
the conference, would be to give the
farmer an almost monopolistic con
troll over the price OF his crops.

WILSON s J
COHORTS
ON LIS T.,
IS RUMOR
Daugherty Expected to Make
Cases Public Monday-Sen-
sation Promised.
By WINDER r. HARRIS,
Universal Service.

A series of sensations which will
echo from one end of the country
to the other Is contained in Attor-
ney General Daugherty's formal
announcement of his plans for
prosecuting war frauds, now sched-
uled to be next Monday.
In quarters close to the Depart
ment of Justice it was stated that
the Attorney General will name the
Influential personages' in the Will
son Administration who he said in
his recent letter to President Hard
ing had knowledge of these trans
actions and were in a position to
make disclosures" but who "were
personally interested in concealing
them.'
Will List Defendants.
Mr.. Daugherty's announcement, II
was further stated, will give list Of
the cases ready for Immediate sub
initial to grand juries. Some OF
these cases, IL was tntimated, Will
involve those persons connected
with the Wilson Administration who
are charged with completely in the
frauds.
Most Of the indictments will be
sought in the District of Columbia,
where a special grand jury, just
authorized by Congress. now is be-
ing organized. A large number Of
the cases, however, will be brought
in New York. Boston. and other in
dustrtal and financial centers. The
Pacific coast also will get its share.
The organization to be perfected
for the prosecution of the war
frauds, It Is now revealed, will be
patterned closely after the House
war investigating committee in the
last Congress, of which Congress
man Graham (RepD Of Illinois was
chairman.
The "war frauds division" as It is
to be called, will be divided into five
main sections, as was the House
committee. There will be an avia-
ton section, camps and cantonments
section, Quartermaster corps section,
foreign expenditures section, and
ordnance section, each dealing only
with contracts under that head.
Stimson May Prosecute.
In charge Of the entire division
will be a special assistant to the
Attorney General. Mr.. Daugherty
has stated that he was anxious to
get Henry l., Stimson, of New York,
former Secretary OF War In the
Taft Administration. for this Job.
II he cannot find a suitable man
to take general direction of the war
fraud prosecutions, the Attorney
General said, he WIN take charge
himself. He said he had inter
viewed sixty lawyers within the
last five months, but none would
take the job, Mr., Dausherty added:
"I am In hope that can find Q
man to do the work. l will find
that man II / can. But II I cannot
may have the necessity OF taking
charge myself. And under any cir
oumstances, will devote haTf my
time in that work with the man in
charge. II have to do il myself,
then 1 will give all my time to the
work and leave to my assistants,

Of the department.
