Washington. May 24.— Mrs. Emma Bergdoll Monday flatly declined to tell the House committee investigat ing the escape of her son, Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. anything about the $105,000 "pot of of gold.” Her refusal prompted Representa tive Johnson, democrat, of Kentucky, a member of the committee, to de mand that she be cited before the {far of the House of Representatives for contempt. i lie coiiiiuuiee nnauy, nuwever, decided not to take action on the contempt charges. Snaps Back at Committee. “I don’t think it is anyone's busi ness but my own,” the millionaire draft evader's mother replied to nu merous questions regarding the hid ing place of the money.

Braun, brother of the -escaped draft evader, who changed his name. Investigation of Mrs. Bergdoll’s papers by the com mittee had disclosed a check for $5,000 given by Mrs. Bergdoli to Mr. Braun. Members of the committee Bought to show that this was turned over to Grover Bergdoli to finance his flight. ‘‘That's a Lie,” She Says. “That’s a lie," Mrs. Bergdoli de clared angrily. "Charlie never paid Grover a cent." Mrs. Bergdoli insisted the check represented the first payment on a loan of $50,000 she wrs extending to Mr. Braun* . The committee spent most of the day going over Mrs. Bergdoll’s ac count books. What Attorneys Got. Entries showed the late D. Clarence Glbboney, of Philadelphia, attorney for Grover Bergdoli, had been sent $12,600 and that Henry Weinberger, New York lawyer, was paid $5,000. Henry O. Scott, Philadelphia attor ney, who defended Grover's mother in her own case In the federal courts that recently resulted In her being fined $7,000, was paid $10,000. Her troubles over Grover, Mrs. Bergdoli testified, had cost about $40,000 to date. “It is all charged to GroverJ’ she said. "I got into trouble on his ac count." "Are you going to make Grover pay, all the costs Including your fine'.”’ asked John H. Sherburne, counsel for the committee. “Sure, He Ought to Pay.” “Sure, he ought to pay it,” replied Mrs. Bergdoli. The draft evader’B mother testified she had turned over a total of $700 to the officers in command at Gover nor’s Island while Grover Bergdoli was Imprisoned there. “He told me he wanted it to buy candy with and pay for movleB,” Mrs. Bergdoli said. “Grover is so gener ous. When he has candy he wants everybody else to have some and he bought candy for all the prisoners there.” Capt.

"I want understanding between the government and the people. •'I want understanding among the nations. And I want our America to have nothing to do with any na tion that is not willing to sit ,at the table and come to an understanding. "I want understanding between the captains of industry and those who make up the tolling forces. “I want understanding with those who come to our shores to participate in the benefits of residence In Amer ica. I want them to come to an un derstanding that there are obligations as well as privileges nt American citizenship. And I want it under stood that a man must give as well as receive from the government which shields him. “Nay, more, I want an understand ing between those who would pre serve our form of government and those who would destroy It.

' FAILED 10 ALLOT House Blasts Hopes of Thirsty By Adopting Amendment for $200,000 to Retain Prohi bition Agents. ___ V Washington, May 24.—The House Monday blasted the hopes of the thirsty who had expected to revel un checked with John Burleycorn until July 1. An appropriation of $200,000 was added to the second deficiency bill so that Ihe 700 federal prohibition agents now being discharged because of a lack of funds could be retained and enforcement continued until new funds are available. Adoption of the amendment fol lowed a bitter partisan debate. Dem ocrats charged that the treasury de partment officials who favor lax en forcement were discharging the fed eral agents without even asking con gress for the money to retain them. Republicans declared that prohibition Commissioner Kramer had violated the law himself by falling to so allot his appropriations for the present year that his funds would last until July 1. They promised the commis sioner will speedily be removed from office. Wheeler “On Job." “Dry” leaders swarmed In on the House Just before the amendment was adopted. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon league, and Commissioner Kramer took the amendment to the capltol and turned it over to Representative Volstead, of Minnesota, author of the enforcement code. Representative Byrne, of Tennessee, wanted to know why treasury offi cials had not appeared before the ap propriation committee when the de ficiency bill was being drafted and submitted an estimate for continuing enforcement until July 1. Who Cut Request? “That Is not an Indictment against congress but against the administra tion and the department of treasury charged with the enforcement of this law," said Mr. Byrne. “I dare say the commissioner of prohibition prepared an estimate. Who was it that cut out the request?" Chairman Good, of the appropria tions committee, said the committee had received no estimate. “The gentleman knows full well that Mr. Kramer had this year $6,900, 000 for the enforcement of prohibi tion," Chairman Good continued. "The law provides that he shall so allot It by months and quarters that there will he no deficiency at the end of the year and that he could we? » the de ficiency If he thought nee dry. Mr. Kramer did not waive It. ,, Is there fore, liable to the penal provisions of the law providing that he may be re moved and that he may be sent to jail. Having put himself In that po sition he -was hardly In a place where he could come to congress and ask for additional funds. Why Not Removed? "If Mr. Kramer has not enforced the law to the best of his ability tell me why he has not been removed by the president,” demanded Representative Byrne. "I think the gentleman need not worry about the early removal of Mr. Kramer," Interposed Representative Langley, republican, of Kentucky. “I anticipate that he will be removed.” "Even If he Is removed that will not relievo the situation," Mr. Byrne as serted. "Oh, yes It will," replied Mr. Lang ley. "A competent man will be ap pointed to enforce the law.” JAPS YIELD FOR CHANGE IN ANGLO-JAP TREATY Washington, May 24.—Japan has yielded to the British view that the new Anglo-Japanese treaty must be amended. It was learned on high gov ernmental authprity Monday. The change will be In article IX, which states Great Britain does not have to aid Japrn against any na tion with which Great Britain has "a general treaty of arbitration." As a matter of fact. Great Britain has only “a peace commission trea'j" with the United States, It was pointed out. Taking advantage of this tech nicality, Japan was insisting that article IX be again written, as it stands, into the new pact. The prime ministers of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa In tervened and threw their influence against Japan. These colonies did not base their demand for Revision on the ground of Japanese exclusion, al though that is understood to have been the fundamental thought, but merely upon the possibilities for trouble in article fx itself. Because of her immigration problem in the British colonies, Japan yielded to "save her face,” It was said here. The peace commission treaty be tween America and England contains clauses under which there can be no quarrels. It was ratified in Septem ber, 1914.

A wage for workers that will provide comforts and recreation as well as meie living. Not So Easily Intorpretod. His remarks on war loans and taxation were not so easily h»« terpreted. BillU . “The exigencies of war com pelled the government to take by taxation much wealth from our people to be loaned to our allies. This Is the basis of their obliga tion to us, and it Is not a good form In which to hold the obliga tions of one people to another people. It is altogether to be hoped that In a reasonable pe riod we may change the form of these obligations and distribute them among all the people." Hughes Unable to Attend.

The welcome President Harding re ceived from the New York populace on the present visit was If anything more uproarious and enthusiastic than on Ills first visit. Wherever he and Mrs. Harding appeared they were cheered. "It Must Not Be Again.” The most solemn and Impressive moment of the day was when Presi dent Harding at the memorial serv ice in honor of the nation's dead In Hoboken, placed a wreath of rosea and orchids on the coffin of Private Joseph W. Guyton, the first AmericaA soldier to be killed on German soil.
