UNTERMYER REVIEWS
DAUGHERTY ATTACK
Replies to Col. Hayward and
Calls for Action on Big
Trust Cases.
AssA1Ls MONEY POWER
Attorney Here Gets Small
Prosecutions Only, Says
"a Lockwood Counsel.

Samuel Untermyer yesterday answered
United States Attorney Hayward's de-
Tense of Attorney General Daugherty.
Mr.. Untermyer had criticized the Attor-
ney General for failure to press the
prosecution of indictments found by the
Lockwood committee. In his latest
statement Mr.. Untermyer said:
MIR. Hayward knows that I have
never had q controversy with the Attor-
ney General of any kind except con-
cerning his peculiar and suspicious an
tics and his 'do-nothing policy in these
antitrust cases that our committee dis
covered for him and have been and are
vainly trying to get him to prosecute.
His record up to date Is one of COM
parative failure. Going after handful
of little fellows and letting the big ones
escape is no great Accomplishment.
That is the record.
He has handed Mr.. Haywards office
the comparatively unimportant cases
and withheld the important cases from
him. He has persistentiy refused our
requests that the General Electric Com
pany and the cement cases be put In
charge of Mr.. Hayward. Let him ex-
plain, IL he can. his protracted nom
action in the General Electric case in
which the influence of J. p. Morgan &
Co. has been and remains so potent. and
his performance in another OF these
cases against our protest to which
will not at this time refer by name for
reasons that Col. Hayward understands.
There are a dozen or more Of these
cases involving hundreds Of defendants
that are in danger Of collapse because
nothing whatever has been or Is being
done. They are being utterly neglected
and Mr.. Hayward knows 1t better than
any one else. He has neither the money
nor the organization for prompt and
effective prosecution.
He knows that my only anxiety Is
to help rid the country of these indus
trial cancers. that this result cannot be
accomplished without the aid Of the
Department Of Justice and that am
not getting proper cooperation from
Mr.. Datgherty and never will. where
adverse influences Of great financial in
terests arc concerned, as in the case of
the General Electric Company and q
few others p.
''The cases are literally dying from
sheer neglect and will soon be dead un-

something to force the Attorney Gem
erals hand. That is what am trying

300 Miles on One
 Gallon of Fuel Is
 Claim for Engine
By Associated Press

Syracuse, N. Y- April 27.- Three hundred miles by an auto- mobile on gallo nof fuel cost- ing 5k cents, Is the claim II. H. Elmer. treasurer and general manager of the Globe Mnllenble Iron and Steel company of this city, makes for mn engine de- signed by himself. revealed to the directorate of the company at its annual meeting here today. Internationally known engineer ing experts, including Arthur Wells. chies engineer of the Bethlehem Steel corporation have inspected Mir. EImer's en- zine and are said to have pro- nounced 1t hundreds of years ahead of the times.
 Three full sized models were tested before the directors to- day. One of the models, one cylinder, three hoursepower en- zine ran continuously for IS hours on one and one-qunrter pints of fuel, the directors stated.
 The fuel used is oil. either min eraI, animal or vegetable. No fg- hilton or carburetor Is used. One of the models has attained speed of from 2,500 to 5000 revo- lutions q minute. he claims. The principle of the discovery Is based on the chemistry of oil, according to Mir. Elmer.
 A committee to arrange for t.. immediate development of the en- zine was appointed by the com- pnny directors today.
