May 9. - In a de- tailed statement concerning the prosecution of war fraud cases, pre-1 pared at the request of the President and transmitted today to the house, Attorney General Daugherty declar- ed that examinations so far, completed disclose in each instance "sufficient indication that a crime had been com- mitted to warrant submitting them to a grand jury." Would Investigate Laxity Presented on the eve of a Repub- lican caucus, called to consider a leg- islative program including a Republi-, can resolution for investigation of charges of alleged laxity in prosecu- tion by the department of justice, the attorney general's letter provoked a partisan row, in which Representa- tive Barrett, the Democratic leader, broadly intimated that it was intended to smother the proposed investigation. Charging that "little, or nothing,"' had been done by the former adminis- tration "to bring war robberies to light," Mr. Daugherty wrote the Pres- ident that the country would soon have reason to know that influential personages in the government, who had knowledge of these transactions, anti were in a position to make dis- closures, were personally interested in concealing them." The }depart- ment, he said, was handling upward of 200 war contract cases, and if re- coveries were obtained in all, the total would reach $100,000000. Fraud Seems Widespread It was a terrible thing, the attorney general said, to charge a citizen with robbing his own government, and for that reason he had insisted on a pains- taking investigation in all cases in- volving charges criminality. Given half a million dollars, and with the passage of an impending bill for 23, addtiional judges and an extra grand jury in the District of Colum- bia, Mr. Daugherty said the work They 're Prominent In Senior play Dress Rehearsal of "Pomander Walk" Proves Show Ready for Presentation TICKETS ON SALE FROM 2 TO 6 O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON Last nights' dress rehearsal proved that "Pomander Walk," the Senior Girls' play to be given at 8:15 o'clock tomorrow night at the Whitney thea- ter, is in every way ready for presen- tation.

JONSTON DELIVES ADDRESS TO PRESS CLUB "The responsibilities of the newspa- per man of the future" was the key- note of an address given last night before the Press club by Mr. A. P. Johnson, managing editor of , the Grand Rapids Press. "There is a great tendency toward socialism in the newspapers," said Mr. Johnson, "and the greatest task that lies ahead of the future journal- ist is to uphold the standard institu- tions of today. The newspapers of to- day have not the interests of the world at heart," continued Mr. John- son. "They are ruled by the desire to make money. Until the newspaper realizes its responsibility toard hu- mahity and is governed by e ideals. of justice and truth, journalism will continue to be in a static rather than a constructive state," At the conclusion of Mr. Johnson's speech, J. N. Sahni, a graduate stu- dent of the 'journalism , department, made a few remarks on "Journalism in India." Mr. Sahni came from In- dia primarily for the purpose of Study- ing American journalism. EFFORT OF CERCLE IS WELL RECEIVED SCENES OF PLOT ARE LAID WITHIN FRENCH MONASTERY Mimes' production of the '"Thee Cloister" a play by Bayard Wellier next Friday and Saturday nights will be the first presentation in America of the famous French drama. This pro- duction' has another interest as being the first attempt Mimes has made to put on poetic drama, a direct depart- ure from the work on the opera and the other musical c nedy productions. No Female Characters The play, which is written entirely in blank verse, has gained distinction as being "a play without a woman." There are no female character parts and no mention of a woman from be- ginning to end. It was written in 1899 and produced fn Brussells, Paris, and London. Several American com- panies are working on the piece in New York but this is the first attempt to produce it in this country. The action of the play is laid within a monastery and the characters are all monks of the cloister. The drama has a religious plot which the characters weave and work out more by forceful, beautiful rhetoric than by direct. ac- tion.. ' 'the cast of "The Cloister" has been working on the play for more than two months, under the personal di- rection of E. Mortimer Shuter. The. complete cast of characters has not yet been announced. Thomas I. Un- derwood, '23L, will play the part of Brother Thomas, a heavy, forceful character. Dom Mark, the gentlest ionk of the cloister, will be portray- ed by Lauren B. Stockesberry, '24, S. of M., and Dom Balthazar by Carl W. Guske, '22. The play is in four acts, none of then exceptionally long. The main action passes between the three char- acters named above. Tickets for both performances will go on sale ' at the Mimes theater to- morrow at 10 o'clock, but mail orders will be received at. anytime until the UNTERJIIEYER DESCRIBES HER AS CONVERSATIONAL DYNAMO In Amy Lowell, the distinguished poet who will read at 8 o'clock to- night in Hill auditorium, is found one of the most interesting personalities in modern. poetdy, according to those who know and understand her. Louis Untermeyer who rocently spoke in Ann Arbor,'*says of Miss Lowell, "Of the limited company of authors, no indi- vidual has been more fought for, fought againt, and generally fought about than Amy Lowell. She has been hailed and hooted in the trilile capac- ity of person, propagandist, .and poet. Nothing is so characteristic of Miss Lowell as her power to arouse. She is a conversational . dynamo." Also it has been said of Miss Lowell, that she is the least formula-bound poet now writing. Her work is in polyphonic prgse, the freest of free verse. She feels that a poem is not an isolated phenomenon, but rather a thing linked up with the poet's per- sonality, his inheritance, and circum- stances of his life. Miss Lowell's outstanding position in the field of moderA American poet- ry, her unique personality, and the fact that she will read and interpret her own poems, is expected by many to make this fourth program one of the best of the poet series.
