Asks Soap on Free List.

incidentally I want to appeal to the
Republicans to put soap on the free list.
They treated Mr.. Morse, so Fielder said,
with soap SO as to give him the symp-
toms of Brights disease when he did
not have 1t. ! understand Brolaski has
tuberculosis of the kidney. and l pre-
sumo the treatment is the same. / hope,
therefore, the Republicans will not make
1t an expensive process. Let us put
soap on the free list so Brolaski can
have the same symptoms that Morse
had and Fielder and Daugherty can then
get the same results"
Reading another article in which At
torney-General Daugherty was quoted
as saying he would not take a million
dollars for his position, Senator Cara
way said:
Evidently the Attorney General is
getting on to the opportunities of the
office. Before he had it and knew
what he could do with it, he said he
would not have given thirty cents for
it. AS soon as he found out how he
could work it and the advantages there
are in it, he would not take a million
dollars for it.
II am not going to be so imprudent
as to ask what wonderful resources
have beer discovered that the office
possesses. If the Attorney-General had
wanted me to know of course he would
have told the newspaper men,"
In the House, Representative Wood
ruff reviewed what he called "a most
belated but nevertheless a feverish at
tempt" by the Attorney-General for
the prosecution of war grafters.
"All this has been DONE" he said.

House / threatened the impeachment
of the Attorney General IL he did not
promptly do his full duty in regard to
these cases."
Phillips Case Brought Up.
The Phillips case was discussed at
length by Representative Larsen.
II am not here to protect Mr. Phillips
or any one else" he said. IF Mr. Phil
lips is guilty. do not know whether he
is or not--he should suffer the penalty
of the law and any one else who is
guilty should be made to suffer the
severest penalties that can be inflicted
by the law. But 1t Is my purpose at this
time to call attention to what I believe
Is big scheme uf the Administration,
especially of our Attorney General, not
to prosecute Mr.. Phillips but simply to
shield himself from the public criticism
being so well directed against him.
doubt very materially whether he will
be indicted. doubt very materially
whether 1t is the purpose or intention
of the Department OF Justice. especially
the Attorney General. to indicc him. The
future alone will determine this question
If he is guilty I hope he will be indicted
but 1 doubt whether It Is even contem-
plated that such should be done"
Declaring that the action of the At
torney- General and his detectives In
trying to encompass the arrest OF Mr.
Phillips appeared nonsensical. Mr..
Larsen continued:
1T must be apparent to every one
that the whole thing was staged with
the view Of obtaining as much news
paper publicity as possible. A Republic
can was selected away down in Georgia,
where there were no Republicans to be
offended, where there exists no Republic
can party and never will. and. Of
course, as a part OF the program he
was TO be arrested. not for the pur-
pose of prosecution, ] fear but for the
simple and sole purpose Of diverting
public attention. The Attorney Gen
eral had promised us some days before
that he would start out on a prominent
Democrat. oh. yes. We were pre-
pared along that line. but when the
performance was pulled off IT was a
little Republican. Quite performance.
