LEUTH WORSE CASE, DRAGGED IN War Fraud Cases Cause of Attacks, Says Attorney-General In Formal Statement. "Washington, t. c., May 24. At torney - General raugherty was charged Dy Senator Caraway, demo crat. Arkansas, speaking today In the senate, with having assigned secret service operatives to shadow mem bers of congress. ' . Mr. Daugherty had never denied the charge recently made by H. L. Scalfe, discharged department of Justice employe, that secret service , men had been assigned to follow members of the bouse, the Arkansas senator said. He knew of a witness, he added, who would testify that "secret service men are trailing mem bers of the senate as well as spying on members o the house." Another statement made by Sena tor Caraway was that the attorney general and C. B. Felder, New York attorney, "suggested" that .Charles W. Morse, indicted shipowner, had a kidney disease when they were en deavoring to obtain hla commutation trom the Atlanta penitentiary, dur ing the Taft administration. Mr. Caraway's statements, in the course of another long address on the Morse case and war fraud prosecu tions, were made in commenting on a statement by the attorney-general that hla connection with the Morse case was shown by letters of ex- WHAT COIVGRBS DID AS ITS DAY'S WORK.

Interstate and foreign com merce committee continued hearings on legislation propo sition to repeat the- guaranty section of the transportation act of 1920. President Taft and ex-Attorney-General WickerBham.- Mr. Daugherty's statement also suggested that his war fraud prosecutions were the cause of the attacks upon him. This was de nied by the Arkansas senator. Referring to Mr. Daugherty as "the titular attorney-general.'" Senator Caraway said that Mr. Daugherty's statement was "not candid," and that he used that term to be polite and not to state what he really meant. The Taft and Wickersham letters, Senator Caraway stated, did not show Mr. Daugherty's connection with the Morse case, as stated by Mr. Daugh erty, because, the Arkansas senator declared, they did not show that Mr. Daugherty and Mr. Felder had a con tract calling for J25.000 to obtain Morse s release. Chemical Used, Is Charge. "They did not show that Morse was given some kind of a chemical to make his kidneys bleed," said Sena tor Caraway, nor, he added, "a con tract with Morse that he (Morse) must sunmit to whatever they sue Rested In handling his case," said benator caraway. Reverting to the charge that Mr, Daugherty had sought to have Mr. Feider, as attorney for the Bosch Magneto company, employ Mr. Scaife, the discharged department of justice employe, as an assistant in defending the company, Senator Caraway said that "it Is up to the attorney-general to explain that situation. ' "He owes it to himself and to the administration which appointed him and to his party to deny that charge.1 Senator Caraway had previously described Mr. Scaife as the govern ment's chief witness against the Bosch Magneto company and had said that Mr. Daugherty sought to have the chief witness hired by the op posing side." , Attitude Is Explained. The Arkansas senator said he wen Into the controversy because of at temps by republicans to answer his criticism of Precident Harding for a ef using to see the child crusade' members which wanted to make personal plea for the liberation from prison of fathers held for violation of war-time laws. The president should have talked with those children. Sen ator Caraway declared, for "on that earns day he saw two varieties of actors, a circus performer and played a round of goir. "And I still Insist," he went on, 'that, had those children money so that they Could pay 125,000 for an expensive lawyer, like the ttorney general is, they would get some con fcideratlon." Declaring his conviction that the people of the United States "have confidence in the department of jus tice being fair, judicious and effect ive," Attorney-General Daugherty in a formal statement said that prosecu tion of war fraud cases would be carried out as expeditiously as pos sible, irrespective of attacks being made upon him in connection with the Morse case. His first direct reply to the charges made by Senator Caraway, demoerat, Arkansas, and others said In part: "The correspondence of ex-Presi- t'ent Taft and ex-Attorney-Gencral Wickersham, which was again pub lished this month, really shows my connection with the Morse case of many years ago. "The incentive and motives insplr Ing this and other agitations will not accomplish the results hoped for by those behind the scenes."

Negotiations with France for the funding of that nation's war debt to this country, it was indicated at the treasury, might be expected to take the form more of arranging the meth od of liquidating the obligations of that nation when its funds are avail able rather than with the expectation of payment of interest in October, when the period during which inter est on all the allied debts was de ferred terminates. While treasury officials have been non-committal to a great extent over the prospects of this country obtain ing any .large interest payments in October on Its' Jtl.000,000,000 of de mand notes of the various nations, the impression has been given that $300,000,000 from Great Britain is all that Is expected with any degree of confidence. . This assumption was borne out by Secretary Mellon in a letter to Chair man McCumber of the senate finance committee in which he listed the pros pective British payment as revenue which might be counted upon abroad ih tne estimates of the income of the United States for the fiscal year of 1923.
