exposures" involving former high
government officials will be made
soon In connection with alleged war
frauds. according to word that was
going the rounds in republican
ranks in congress today.
In both the senate and house cor
ridors the 'tip" was passed among
majority members that political at
tacks" on Attorney General Daugh-
erty will be answered by dramatic
action.
VIII Blow Lid OF.
AS one house republican, close
friend of Daugherty-put 1t. 'the lid
is about to be blown off this war
graft thing. and the mess that will
be revealed TO view will not make a
pleasant sight for some of those
who have been so viciously assailing
the present administration"
The report that disclosures" are
to be made apparently originated
from source close to the depart
ment OF justice.
A direct charge that officials of
the last administration were guilty
of practicing frauds on the govern
ment under stress of war was made
by Representative Reavis, Nebraska.
republican. Reavis, who will resign
soon to assist in the promised pros
ecution Of grafters, declared mo
crook outside the government ever
robbed the government without the
assistance of some crook inside"
Organization Near Complete.
Meanwhile, Daugherty has an
nounced that the war frauds organ
izatlon of the department is now
virtually complete and that II prob
ably will be ready Monday to begin
the work Of presenting evidence to
grand juries.
It will follow the lines laid down
by the house committee of the last
congress which investigated war de-
partment expenditures, the work be-
ing divided, according to classes OF
contracts.
"The work of the war contracts
division" Daugherty said, will nat
urally fall under the headings Of
aviation, camps and cantonments,
foreign expenditures, quartermaster
corps and ordnance.
when the force which the attor-
ney general is organizing has been
completed he will have under his
direction one of the most notable
law firms ever created in the United
States, composed of the best legal
talent obtainable."
Admits Morse Case.
Daugherty in letter to Senator
Watson, Indiana, read to the senate
late yesterday, admitted that he was
connected with the @. w. Morse
pardon case and stated he had re-
ceived about $4,000 from T. B. Eel
der, Atlanta attorney, for expenses
in the case. He stated that he had
never told Watson he was not in
volved in the case, as the senator
stated in the senate a few days ago.
Favorable action by the rules COM
mittee in authorizing passage by the
house of the Woodruff resolution
ordering a probe of war graftersl
will be considered by the rules COM
mittee next Thursday, it was learned
today.
This will more effectively "kill''
the proposed probe than the action
of the house yesterday when it re-
fused to permit Representative John
son, South Dakota. to force action
through point Of personal privi-
lege. It will also relieve Speaker
Gillett Of the embarrassment of
having to decide when Chairman

Belfast, May 27.-Arson squads in

Following a night OF terror. during

bugs today captured and burned a
warehouse and a factory.
A constable and a civilian by the
name OF Robert Grainey were shot
and killed this afternoon bringing
the total dead for the week to 80.

STAGE

George Arliss comments that
the American theatre seems
striving for the strange and un-
usual, and "thcre seems TO be "a
tendency to believe that any
thing which gls away from the
old traditional forms of enter
tanment is worth while. "
Being different attracts atten-
tion, but it isn't necessarily an
Improvement. Oscar Wilde wore
a sunflower when he toured
America, but that didn't change
Oscar Wilde.
What really wrong with the

of original thought. And freak
