Washington May 27.-In support
nf his charge that Attorney General
Daugherty Is shadowing members ot
congress who criticise him Senator
Caraway Arkanaas today read to
the senate a telegram advising him
that Dauxhorty Is having hltn "look-
ed up" in Arkansas. (
Thu telegram signed J. If. Ander-
son and sent from Little Rock Ark.
stated that a man named Mathews
representing himself as an agent of
(ho attorney general has been mak-
ing Inquiries about Caraway In Little
Rock Hot Springs and elsewhere In
Arkansas.
Caraway said he would like to
know how much of the $:00000 ap-
propriated by congress for Daugh
orty's use In prosecuting wsr graft-
ers would ho used in shadow In;
representatives nnd 'senators and
how much In punishing' criminals.
Sensations Expected.
Washington May 27 "Sensational
exposures" Involving former high
government officials 'will be made
soon lii connection with alleged war
frauds according to- Word that was
going the rounds In republican
ranks In congress today.
In both tho sennto and house cor
ridors the "tip" was passed among
majority members that "political at
tacks" on Attorney General Daugh-
erty will bo answered by dramatic
action.
Will Blow Lid Off.
As one house republican a close
friend of Daugherty put It "the lid
Is about to bo blown off this war
gran inmg ami me mess inai win
bo revealed to view will not make a
pleasant sight for some of those
who have been so viciously assailing
tho present administration."
The report that "disclosures" are
to bo mado apparently originated
from a source close to the depart
ment of Justice.
A direct charge that officials of
tho last administration were guilty
of practicing frauds on the govern
ment under stress of war was made
by Representative Reavls Nebraska
republican. Reavls who will resign
soon to assist In the promised pros-
ecutlon of grafters declared "no
crook outsldo the government ever
robbed the government without the
assistance of some crook inside."
Organization Near Complete.
Meanwhile Daugherty .has an
nounced that the war frauds organ
ization of the department is now
virtually complete and that it prob-
ably will bo ready Monday to begin
the. work of presenting evidence to

It will follow the lines laid down
by the house committee of the last

ing divided according to classes of"'

"When the force which the attor

Admits Morse Case.
Daugherty in a letter to -Senator
Watson Indiana read to the senate
late yesterday admitted that he waa
connected with the C W. Morse
pardon case and stated he had re-
