ADVISORY BODY NAMED
FOR WAReFRAUD PROBE
Daugherty Says Plan of Investi-
cation Will Be Made
Public Shortly.

Attorney General Daugherty has
announced the formation of an ad-
visory council in the war frauds
investigation, predicting that the en-
tire scheme of the governments or
shnization to inquire into such ac-
tivities would shortly be revealed.
The advisory council, consisting of
three members, has for some time
been at work in Washington, the
Attorney General said. The member
ship consists of ex-senator Thomas
OF Colorado, whose connection with
the war frauds investigation was an
nounced some time ago, and Judge
7. NJ. Bitger of Columbus, Ohio, and
Judge Cfhrles Kerr of Kentucky
Judge Bitger, the Attorney General
said, had for twenty five years served
on the bench in Ohio and was con-
sidered by the Department of Justice
to be Judge OF very high class"
Judge Kerr resigned his position
as federal judge in the Panama Ca
nal Zone to accept this new post. His
resignation has been accepted by Presi-
dent Harding. who wrote a letter in
that connection expressing the coun-
Try grateful appreciation" for Judge
Kerr's services.
The plan of organization of the en-
tire war frauds section of the De-
partment of Justice, the Attorney
General expected to announce later
in the day. There had been, he said,
much loose and Cheap talk" concern
ing the work of the war frauds sec
ton. The time had come, he thought,
to reveal some of the actual ma
chinery by which the government is
gong after war profiteers.

Fifty Cents

l often wonder where he is,. James
Bulger, once my bosom friend;
along the highway he may whiz, or
through the solemn forest wend.
No matter where, he may have
trekked, through palaces or Bedouin
tents, he yet at times must recollect
that he still owes me fifty cents:
Perhaps he fees in frenzied haste
fore a wild midocean gale; perhaps
he's in some arctic waste, with polar
bears upon his trail. / picture him
in camp asleep, when stars peep
through the cloudy rents, and when
he wakes l see him weep because
he owes ME fifty cents. No man
can have tranquil mind, or know
the peace that does not fade. if he
has left some debts behind, the
debts he knows he should have paid.
The memory will haunt him still
when he communes with other
gents; and when he sleeps upon the
hill, his dreams will be OF fifty cents.
l care not for that ancient loan, four
bits won't make or break man !;
but Bulger's soul must creak and
groan whene'er my name he haps
to scan. He's lost the peace that
is sublime, his halidom is full of
dents. his fame is tarnished for all
time because he owes me fifty cents.
