The senate staged its daily shindy over Mr. Daugherty and his acts. Senator Lenrpot, Wisconsin, republican, arose and read a letter written by Mr. Daughehty t oSenator Watson, In diana, May 22. frankly admitting his connection with the successful effort to obtain the release of Charles W. Morse from the Atlanta penitentiary during the Taft administration. Mr. Daugherty also acknowledged in the letter that he had received $4,000 from Thomas B. Felder for hi ex penses and service i nconnettion with the Morse case but added that this did not morethan half repay him for the money he disbursed out of his own pocket. The attorney generals letter to Senator Watscvi was written as a re ply to the charge made by Senator Caraway, Arkansas, democrat, in de bate recently. At the time Mr. Cara way made the charges Senator Wat son rose to Mr. Daugherty' defense and emphatically denied that (he at torney general had had any connec tion with the Morse case. He stated that Mr.- Daugherty had so informed him. In the letter made public to day by Senator Lenroot at the re quest of Senator Watson, who is in Indiana, Mr. Daugherty stated that Mr,. Watson must have- misunder stood him. Senator Watson, Georgia, demo crat, presented a memorandum sub mitted to him by a young man who furnished him with the information upon which he based his charges he made against the attorney general yesterday. Attorney General Daugherty to night, in announcing plans for the prosecution ot war contracts cases, said that the work will be subdivided along the same general lines as was the inquiry conducted by the Graham investigating committee of the house. The' war contracts division will be divided into five sections, one of which will relate to aviation con tracts, another to camps and canton ments, another to foreign expendi tures, another to quartermaster con tracts and the fifth to ordnance. The war contracts division will start oper ations on Monday. Mr. Daugherty announced that Meier Steinbrink of New York will become one of the principal assist ants to the attorney general. He will handle aviation contracts, , "Prosperity Special," Blackmail Slayer Largest Train to Cross l Returned to Jail: U.

The locomotives are so large, Sam uel M. Vaucklain, president of the lialdwin works said, that it was im possible to haul the train through Philadelphia, Harrisburg or Pitts burgh. It will require at least six engines to haul the train around Horseshoe curve, in Pennsylvania. Neither will it be possible, he added, for the great train to cross the Mis sissippi river at St. Louis, over the Eads bridge. Throughout the journey each of the locomotives, which are to he used in the freight service on the heavy grade in the far west, will be manned by a.n experienced engineer. "Return of Prosperity."

The city council in open de fiance of the announced intention of the PlatNmouth Water company, an casern owned concern, to advance its rate on June 1, adopted by un.ii,. imous vote an ordinance establishing the rate to be charged by the water company, both to the ciiy and private consumer during the second 10-year period of its franchise, the rates be ing very nearly the same as those in effect now. The company proposed to charge consumers of less than 2, 0(10 cubic feet per month, 40 cent per lOt) feet, and varying on a sliding scale to as low a 10 cents per 100 cubic feet for all coinnmcd in excess of 14.IHH1 feet per month.

Bail Cancelled. White Plain. N. Y.. May Jo-fHy A. P.) Suprec.e Court Juttre Young thi morning iued a writ of liatwa corpu in the cac of Wal ter S. Ward, vice president of the Ward Baking company, who wa narreted la-it flight on a charge of kilting Peters ol Haverhill, Ma., near the Kciimco reservoir about two week ago. The writ wa erved on Sheriff George Werner, directing hint to bring Ward into court for a hearing on the question of whether he wa again to be relrawd on bail. A bail bond of $10,000. accepted shortly after he surrendered last Saturdav, stating he had shot Peters in self defense after being blackballed by him, was cancelled yeiterday when District Attorney Week had told the court there were certain discrep ancies in his story. Ward, who had been out on $10,. 000 bail following his confession of killing Clarence Teter. former navy man, was re-arrested yesterday after were advanced from $ to $10 and fire hydrant rental from $40 to $W per annum. The rates established by the council vary from 22 1-2 cents per hundred for the first 400 cubic feet per month to 10 cents per hun dred for all in excess of 4,000 cubic feet per mouth, and $6 per annum flat rate for residence and $40 for fire hydrants, of which the city pays rental on 92. The ordinance alo withholds per mission from the company to tear up paving to repair their mains any where in the city except on written authority and providrs for the fur nishing of an indemnity bond guar anteeing that where such permission is given, the pavement will he rcUid in as good condition as before and maintained for a period of five years. iractically the only increase over present rates allowed is for install ation service. The former charge was $8.50 while now the company will be required to install -inch lead pipes from its mains to the property line, complete for $15. This is in tended to do away with the frequent necessity of tearing up the paved streets to repair leaks in the cheaper lines, as has been done frequently in the past. . City Attorney Rawls advised the council that under the charter gov erning cities of this class the council can regulate water rates to private consumers, although they are denied that privilege with electric and gas rates. The lighting and gas com pany announced a raise in rates on its own initiative more than a year ago. The water plant has been ap praised twice in the past few months, once by.company engineers and once by a special engineer hired by the city, the intent being to purchase it and operate it as a municipal plant. before Supreme Court Justice Sec- gar with a,'i affidavit declaring that new evidence had cast doubts on Ward' confession. The bail bond of $10,000 was mentioned and Mr. Weeks' petition stated "this bail now appears to be insufficient." The affidavit concluded by asking that Ward again be held without bail.
