Is Renewed
Senator Caraway Place Let

Show Interest in Re.
Ieaw of Shipbuilder.
Says Confidence Broken
Wellington. May 23. Renewing
h' attack, on Attorney General
Daugherty in the senate loilay, Sen
ator Caraway, democrat. Arkansas,
placed in the Congressional Kerord
alleged copies of two more letters
purporting to show that Mr. Daugh
erty was directly interested in oh
taining the release from the Atlanta
penitentiary of Charles W. Mow,
the shipbuilder.
The letters, published tdav in a
local paper, the senator said, showed
that Mr. Daugherty was engaged
as counsel in the iase became he
had the confidence of former l'rcsi
lent Taft, Mho commuted Mr.
Morse' IS-year sentence, and
charged that Mr. Daugherty had
"abused" Mr. Taft's confidence.
One of the letters purported to he
from Thomas C. I'elder. New York
attorney, alleged to have been asso
ciated with Mr. DauRherly in the
Morse pardon case. The other, al
leged to have been written bv Frank
,L. Seeley, editor of the Atlantic,
Georgian, to Mr. Felder. said that
Mr. Morse owed his liberty and his
life "to yours and Mr. Daughertv's
efforts." Both letters bore 1917
dates.
Prevented Rectification.
Commenting on statements in the
letters that Mr. Fcldcr and the pres
ent attorney general took steps to
'. prevent revocation of Mr. Morse'
release when it was charged that
fraud had been practiced upon Pres
ident Taft, Senator Caraway as
serted that Mr. Felder and Mr.
Daugherty, if not cognizant "of the
original fraud, prevented rectifica
tion. "If they were not a party to the
fraud in its original preparation,"
' ssid Senator Caraway, "they be
came accomplices after the fact."
Senator Moses, republican. New
Hampshire, when Senator Caraway
' had finished, answered that "the
tohole performance" in connection
with discussion . of the Morse case
was a smoke screen to hide demo
cratic cabinet officers who served
tinder the last administration. . The
Morse and Bosch Magneto cases,
now before the department of jus
tice, the New Hampshire senator
said, . promised to . seriously crn
' harass a former attorney general and
- former secretary of , the treasury."
The evidence- .' submitted - in the
Morse case, if placed before a jury.
Senator Caraway ' declared, would
convict both ' Mr. Daugherty and
Mr. Felder of fraud.
Engaged by Editor.
The letter by Mr. Felder, purport
ing to have ben written to Leon O,
.Bailey, New York," detailed connec
Vtions, said that Mr. Felder was en
gaged by Mr. Seely, the Atlanta edi
tor, and 'that Mr. Fcldcr arranged
to renew .Mr. Morse's commutation
plea just before expiration of Mr.
Taft's term. ,
The letter said that Mr. Feldcf
and Mr. Daugherty was informed
by Dr. A. L. Fowler, prison physi
cian, that Mr. Morse appeared to
have Brights disease.- '
The Seely letter , was largely a
summary of the events leading to
'.the1 alleged retention of Felder as
i counsel for Morse. Felder's name,
the letter said, . "was suggested to
' Morse by. Seely after the banker
cotivitt had tried - every possible
' avenue of .' relief." Reference was
made to the writer's keen disappoint
ment because of Morse's failure td

Memorial Planned c
for Illinois Doctor
St. Louis, Mo., May 22. Phy-
i sicians here are considering estao-
lishment of a permanent memorial
to Dr. Heber Robarts of Belleville,
111.; who died from X-ray burns sus-n
tamed during experiments with ra
dioactive substances.
Dr. Roberts began experimenting
with, X-ray 20 years ago and con
tinued his researches, although the
loss of four fingers, cse by one
warned him of the approaching dan
ger of death through his work. Weeks
before his demise he realized he
could not survive the ravages done
to his system by the burns.
.Summoning his physician friends,
be submitted to them a diagnosis of
his own case. This was after he had
visited sanitariums at Baltimore and
Washington and had been treated ac
cording to hia own formula for re
lief of such cases. .
Recognized as an authority in
X-ray treatment, Dr. Robarts deter
mined to take charge of his own
cure. But the malignant burns had
spread too far, .and despite applica
tions of radium, of which he pos
sessed a large store, he could not
stop the spread ofthe deadly toxms
to his chest.
Post-mortem examination of the
body confirmed the specialist's diag
nosis of his own case.

The Egypt sailed from London
for Bombay, Friday, with 44 pas
sengers and a "crew of 290. A roll
call on board the Seine after the
disaster showed that at least 15 of
the passengers and 80 of, the crew
of the Egvpt were missing.
Americans Missing. -
Two American women, Mrs. M.
L," Sibley and Miss V. M. Boyer,
were on .board the steamer Egypt
and are missing, according to the
Peninsular' and Oriental line offi
cials at London. " 1 -;
R. F, Bevan, another " American,
was saved. - t
- The collision occurred during - a
dense fog within 22 miles of 4 the
Armcn lighthouse. The dinner gone
was about to be sounded on board
the Egypt. Many of the passengers
and most of the crew were oii deck.
The shock threw several persons into
the sea; others jumped and a num
ber went down with the ship, which
sank in 20 minutes.
Bodies Taken to Brest.
The Seine, badly damaged, reached
Brest yesterday with 29 rescued pas
sengers, more than ?00 of the crew,
and the bodies of 20 ad. The cap
tain of the Egypt is among the saved.
When the collision occurred there
was a rolling sea.. Some of those res
cued charge that the Indian sailors
on board the Egypt usurped the life
boats, compelling a large number -of
the passengers and crew to shift for
themselves.
Those who jumped into the sea
and who could swim scrambled about
frcm bits of wreckage to which they
might cling. Many , of these were
rescued. They floated about in the
fog after the Egypt went down, call
ing for help. The sound -of their
voices directed members of the crew
of the Seine in small boats who were
patrolling the sea picking up both
living and dead.
Among the known missing are ihe
doctor and chief engineer of the
Egypt. .-; ,
The Egypt was a vessel of 8,000
tons. The Seine was bound for
Havre when the collision occured.
The Egypt went down in 400 feet
of water. She carried $300,000 in
gold, besides" consignment of mail
for India. So far one mail pouch has
been picked up, but nothing else ex
cept the wreckage from the crash
was found on the surface.
The ship's officers did not even

Kprtial CorrMHndrt of The B.
Jefferson, IaL, May 22. (Special
Telegram.) Omaha's trade excur
sion jigged things up in 17 Iowa
towns today. Practically without ex
ception the country merchants were
found to be in a happy frame of
mind. ' Thcv were visibly impressed
of $17,000 on a week's tour of Oma
ha's trade territory.
Aside from western Iowa -being
badly in need of rain, .there isno com
plaint. The rich black soili s mak
ing good again and muc hof the corn
is up, although the season is back
ward. Farmers are making money
feeding cattle and hogs. They have
no difficulty making loans and old
debts are being rapidly paid off. One
bank at Carroll has $4,000,000 on de
posit.' .
Business Best in Two Years. "
Business i the towns is better
than it has been for two years. This
became evident at the first stop in
Missouri Valley, where the shops of
the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road, with a monthly payroll of
$20,000. went on a five and a half
day schedule today, and it is said
that they will go on full time June
1. There, were three months last
year when these were closed down.
. An astonishing amount of street
paving is being done in these Iowa
towns. Eighty blocks of paving are
now being laid in Missouri Valley.
Carroll is t olet contracts tonight
for paving 80 blocks also. At Dcni
son $500,000 worth of paving was
put down last year. The people on
the streets are well dressed. Girls
are bobbing their hair and wearing
earrings, to the joy of jewelers.
.More Implements Sold.
A wholesale jewelry merchant who
is among the 100 Omaha -business
pilgrims of trade states that if no
other line of business is' hurt worse
tha,n his, conditions must be "good;
Shoe and clothing jbbbers sayrthe
same about their lines. With the
opening of the active season on the
farms, more implements are being
sold. Manufacturers representatives
say that the tenant farmers are still
unable to enter the market except for
repairs, but that there is developing
a considerable cash trade. , " '
Building p.nd repairs, on . the farms
which were put off for a year are
now under way, and the lumber bus
iness is alive once more. Iowans,
whether tow-n or country dwellers,
are co-operating. The friction which
at one time set them against each
other is not even appearing ill the
primary campaign which ends June S.
At Woodbine an organization mod
eled after Ak-Sar-Ben is contributing
to the better feeling. It is called
En-lb-Doow. Its function is to put
on a musical show at which the farm
ers of the country are initiated and
entertained.
Banker Plays in Band.
An example of the genial good
fellowship which permeates thase
communities is found in H. E. Wal
dron, president of a bank at Glidden.
In his youth he was a pitcher for a
big league ball club, and . when he
came to Glidden he built op a team
around himself that for years car
ried away all honors. Now and then
he again takes the mound. Now,
however, the age and taste of this
village financier leads him to play
the-traps in the Community band.
The Omaha party was. entertained
tonight in Jefferson with a dance at

'bosses' don't get too rich, we shrug

Mexico Seeks
American Aid
to Refund Debt
No Backing to Be Given Until
Obregon Government Rec
ognizes Valid Titles
of Property.
By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.
Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee.
Washington, May 22. (Special.)
The arguments which Secretary of
State Hughes applies to Russia are
equally applicable to Mexico. In
fact, in shaping its policy towards
Russia, the State department has
Mexico in mind. Secretary of State
Hughes points out that any rehabili
tation of Russia must come about
through the use of private capital'.
He adds that private capital will not
invest in Russia until it is convinced
it will be safe. That safety demands
a government that will offer suf
ficient guarantees for life and prop
erty and will place stress on the
sanctity of contracts. i
Exactly the same situation exists
in Mexico. There the Obregon gov
ernment refuses to eliminate the ob
noxious article 27 of its constitution,
under which, confiscatory power is
alleged. Neither will the Obregon
government agree to nullify it by a
treaty agreement. Accordingly, the
State department holds there can be
no recognition of Mexico until it
recognizes the sanctity of contracts.
Secretary of the Treasury Adolfo
de la Huerta is on his way from
Mexico to the United States to con
sult with New York bankers con
cerning the refunding of the Mexi
can debt." He will be told the New
York bankers will be glad to take
over the Mexican debt, provided
they can be assured of government
backing. This backing will not -be
forthcoming until the Obregon gov
ernment has undertaken to Tecognize
valid titles, not only of . oil proper
ties, but. of all- American-owned
property.
Every gesture made by Secretary
of State Hughes towards soviet
Russia has Mexico in .mind.
