Churchill Downs this afternoon when
Benjamin Blocks unbeaten Norwich

victory in Americas most priced
thoroughbred test, the Kentucky

started within the next three weeks,
officials at the Department of Jus

They made this prediction when
1t was learned that House leaders

bill tomorrow providing for another

General Daugherty, 1t was said, TO
convene the special grand jury i'm
mediately upon authority being
granted by Congress and lay before

under the jurHdiction of the Dis

House TO ProSide-Funds.
The grand jury bill had been
passed by the Senate before the
storm of criticism over alleged lax
ity in prosecuting grafters broke
out. and it is believed the Senate
will quickly agree to minor amend
ments made by the House So that
the bill can be finally enacted and
signed by President Harding by the
end of this week. Impanelling of
the jury could then be started.
Another important move will be
made by the. House tomorrow II
plans of the Republican leaders
carry. This is passage of the bill
giving the Department. of Justice
a s500000 operating fund in the
graft cases.
The money will be used in the en-
ployment of special Investigations
and counsel. Under provision
of the appropriation bill. stuck in
at the last minute upon the insist
ence of Democratic members of the
House appropriations Committee,
only one special counsel can be
paid a salary of more than $4,000
year. This allows Daugherty to
go as high as he wishes in the sal
airy of one man, who will have gem
eral charge. under the Attorney
General in the investigations and
prosecutions.

The statement of Daugherty that
1T will take perhaps five years t.
clear up all the cases" was the tar
get for attack last night by a group
of Representatives who have in
sisted that the sudden activity" at
the Department of Justice is "only
a smoke screen to steer Congress
away from an investigation"
Representative woodruff. ,Repub-

some of the cases until the public
has forgotten about them ana they

his inference was that -sbersons

Be Back Of Proposal.

to electrify his Detroit. Toledo and
Ironton railroad was held in transpor-

cation of the trend of transportation
development in the future. Although
no definite information was obtain
able, it was stated that Ford's recent
embarrassment because of short
age of coal led him to the conclusion
that future disarrangement of this
sort could be obviated by certain
electrical extensions.
Ford's Banner Fork coal mine is
some 200 miles from the terminus of
his railroad. it is explained. and al
though there was ample coal at the
mine, the connecting roads were not
able to deliver it to Ford.
