dlacharged dopurtment of Jutlc m
ploye, that aecret service men had
been aaalgned to follow members of
the house.-the Arkansas senator said.
He knew of a witness, he added, who
would testify that "secret service men
are trailing; members of the senate as
well as spying on members of the
house."
Mr. Caraway's assertions In the
course of another lonR address on the
Morse case and war fraud prosecutions
were made In comment lug on a state-j
motit by the altorney general that hla
connection with tha Morse case were
shown by letters of former President

slmin. Mr. nnngherty't statement also siir
ecsted that his war fraud prosecutions
were the cause for the attacks uon
him. This 'was denied today by the
Arkansas sotfator.
. Daugherty Not Candid
Referring to Mr. Daugherty as "the
titular attorney general." Mr. Caraway
said that Mr. Dniigherty's statement
was "not candid" and that he used
that term to be polite and not to state
what he ivnlly meant. The Taft and
Wlrkershum letters, Mr. Caraway said
did not show Mr. Daugherty's connec
tions with the Morse rase, as stated
by Mr. Daugherty, because, the Arkan
sas senator declared, they did not
show that Mr. Danghetty and ' Mr.
Kelder had a contract calling for
$25,000 to secure Morse's release.
'They did not show that Morse was
given some kind of a chemical to make
his kidneys Meed," said Senator Cara
way, nor, he added, "a contract with
Morse that )e (Morse) must submit
to whatever they suggested Iti hand
ling his case," suid Senator Caraway.
Itevertlng to the charge that Mr.
OniiKhnrty tiad sought to have Mr.
Kelder aa attorney for the Bosch Mag
nolo company, employ Mr. Scalfe, the
discharged department of Justice em
ploye as an assistant in defending the
company, Senator Caraway said 'that
'It Is up to the attorney general to
explain that RlUmiUm."
"He owpb It to himself and to the
administration which appointed him,
and to his party to deny that charge."
Senator Curawny Jiad previously de
scribed Mr. Scalfe as the government's
chief wltneaa agnlnat the Bosch Mag
neto company and had said that Mr.
Daugherty sought to have the chlel
witness "hired by the opposing side."
Iieclarlng his conviction that the
people or tho Vnlted States "have ccm
fidence in the department of justice
being fair, JiuIIcIouh nnd effective,"
Attorney General Daugherty, In a for

Senator Watsm In an address which"
he had discussed with President Hard

brought about substantial results In
relieving the "evils of eight years of

another speaker. He praised the
Harding administration declaring that
"America Is to be congratulated on an
official record so splendid." He Bald
that the convention marked the be'
ginning of "our harmonious advance
toward a common victory in Novem
ber." 'During the coming battle and there
after we Indiana republicans will
strive in generous rivalry with our
brothers and sisters in other states to
set the highest of all the standards of
loyalty to, and love for that noble
leader of our party, the president of

administration we take such pride,

"The supremo and only immediate
duty at hand in domestic affairs is to
restore American business to full
strength und full vigor. The reduction
of governmental expense so well and
efficiently begun by President Harding

of extravagance is put out.
"The laws of taxation must bo still
further revised until they are made
wholly consistent and harmonious
with economic law so that capital, the
lifeblood of business, may flow freely
through tho veins of Industry and the
arteries of trade.
"It hns been the glory of republican
statesmen that they were guided by
fundamental principle and never by

The Jurors complained that
their bailiffs, both elderly men,

demanded that younger bailiffs
be appointed to take tbe jurors

Judge Claire C. Edwards, to

MILWAUKEE. May 24. Wisconsin
will be the storm center for n attack
on prohibition this year. Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel of the anti
Saloon league of America today told
delegates attending the Wisconsin law
enforcement convention. California,
New Jersey, Idaho and Massachusetts,
he declared, also will receive strong
attacks from the anti-prohibitionista.
In speaking of light wines and beers,
Mr. Wheeler said: "They will ask for
light beer today, strong beer tomor
row. Whiskey will follow and the de
bauchery which comes from the traffic
will be inevitable.
"The whole bootlegging, rum run
ning, law defying army, is concentrat
ing tor an attack upon the constitution
by means of a beer and wine amend
ment. We have defeated them thus
far both in congress and the state
legislatures and have uniformly de
feated their efforts to destroy the pro
hibition amendment and its enforce
ment j , j jg
Law and Order
"The Issue which we face today is
that of law and order. Until the
eighteenth amendment is repealed,
law-abiding citizens must support it
and help to enforce it. If the liquor
opposition can break down this part of
the constitution by the methods now
proposed every other group opposed to
other laws can use the same methods
and soon the government Itself would
be destroyed."
William J. Morgan, attorney general
for Wisconsin, followed Mr. Wheeler
on the speaker's stand:
"Because our republic has lived for
13S years, do not think that it cannot
be destroyed," . he said. "Venice.
Rome, Carthage and Athens all fell
because they forgot obedience to their
laws, the foundation on which rested
their prosperity.

mission Makes- Sweeping
Reduction of From 12 to
14 Per Cent New Rates to
Be Effective July 1 Agri
culture Unaffected.
WASHINGTON, May 24. iBy M
elated Press). Horizontal and nation
wide reductions in freight rates aver
aging about ten per cent were ordered
today by the inter-state iommerci
commission.
The cut waa fixed by the comniln
slon at 14 per cent In eastern terri
tory; 134 per cent in western terri
tory and 12 M per cent in the southern
and mountain Pacific territories.
All reductions are effective July 1
and constitute a greater cat than win
generally expected. The commission
in ordering tbe decreases held that tlm
nation's railroads are entitled to earn
5 per cent of the value of their pro
perty rather than the approximately
six per cent fixed as a reasonable re
turn in the transportation act of 19L'fi
Transportation charges on passen
ger travel and Pullman charges wens
left unaffected by today's decision.
The order of the commission fixing
the new level of rate defined the per
centagea of reduction as follows:
In the eastern group (also-between
points in Illinois territory, and be
tween Illinois territory and the eastern
group) 26 per cent instead of the 40
per cent authorized in the decisions
last cited (the rate increases of 1920 1.
In the western group (and between
the western group and Illinoia terri
tory) 21 5-10 per cent Instead of th-J
35 per cent so auth; rized.
In the southern and mountain Paci
fic groups 12 6-0 per -cent instead of
the 25 per cent so authorized.
On inter-territorial traffic except a.s
otherwise provided herein 20 per cent
instead of the 33 1-3 per cent bo auth
orized. Agricultural products will not be
affected by the reduction. The reduc
tion of I64 per cent made in the wes
tern hay and grain rates last fall an 1
the voluntary ten per cent cut nfade in
all agricultural products by railroad
January first will be substituted fur
the decision on these commodities.
6 Per Cent Return
In the matter of reasonable return
the commission pointed out that until
March 1. 1922 the railroads had been
legally entitled td six per cent annual
earnings on the aggregate value "t
property used in transportation.- The
sum was fixed by the transportation
act as the amount equal to BVi per
cent with one-half of one per cent ad
ditional to be granted in the discretion
of the commission tor Improvements
and betterments.
The commission exercised this dis
cretion and the reasonable return con
sequently has generally been known
as the "six per cent return."
The commission in modifying the
fair return standard reviewed testi
mony taken by it in the general rat"
case and concluded that "a substantial
reduction in the percentage of return
might be unsettling in its effect par
ticularly in light of the fact that t he
return allowed In 1920 wag not real
