Two inches fell at Pickerell. In this vicinity the precipitation was .67 of an inch, or a total of 1.7G since Friday. Two automobiles, both driven by traveling men, were caught in the deluge in the Cornhusker highway, near the turn going into Pickerell and both cars were washed off the bridge. The occupants were unhurt, chough their cars were marooned in the gulley at the roadside. GREAT CHARACTER ACTOR Joseph J. Howling, seen as "Place Hough." the gambler, in Benjamin B. Hampton's great production, "The IT. P. Trail," a Ilodkinson release, which is the featured- attraction at the Parmele Friday and Saturday, is conceded to be one of the greatest character actors appearing today on the silversheet: Among the produc tions in which he has been seen to great advantage by Plattsmouth movie fans are "The Miracle Man" and "The Spenders." In the former, Mr. Dowling had the prominent role of the healer and it will be recalled how well he handled the assignment. Any performance which Mr. Dowling gives is invariably marked by such superb artistry - such sympathetic, intelligent insight into the role he is called upon to portray that it is small wonder he should be one of the most eagerly sought for actors on the screen today.

M'ADOO IS FOR DISARMAMENT. Washington. May 10. W. G. Mc- Adoo. former secretary of the treas ury, tonight espoused disarmament as a curative for the economic and social troubles of the world, in an address before the national league of Masonic clubs. "Disarmament or bust!" he declared. "That is what the people have got to face." Painting a picture of world-wide suffering from excessive taxation, Mr. McAdoo declared that taxes in all lands would soon become unbear able unless some intelligent plan were evolved for disarmament. "The excessive taxn'ion is subjective," he said, "because the war has- been fought and the debts have got to be paid. There if no telling when they will be liquidated. "I wouldn't have America disarm unless we have an understanding with other powers unless we have and agreement and I want to em phasize the word agreement. If we agree ,on disarmament and preserve the relative strength of all nations concerned theve will be no danger."

CLAIM WHITEWASH IN BERGDOLL CASE Held Primarily Responsible by Ken tucky Congressman for Escape Effected by Draft Evader. Washington. May 10. The charge that Col. John E. Hunt, former com mandant at the disciplinary bar racks at Governors Island, was "whitewashed" by a court-martial resulting from his alleged failure to take proper precautions to prevent the escape of Grover Bergdoll. was ;nade today before the house inves tigating committee, failed to tell what precautions he had taken to safeguard Rergdoll while on a gold "hunting expedition to Maryland. Colonel Hunt had been on the stand nearly five hours when he was tak en in hand by Representative .lohn scn. democrat. Kentucky, for a gril ling cross examination. Some of the questions worn ex tremely blunt and of a personal na ture. Then, after asking for a yes or no answer as to whether he had been given a fair trial whether he had been aggressively prosecuted, Mr. Johnson quoted him from the good standing .f the accused. "Is that a vigorous prosecuting speech?" Mr. Johnson asked and Hunt replied it was a plea for his cenviction as he saw it. John T. Sherburne, of IJoston. counsel for the committee, in'erpos.ed that it vas only fai to read from the judge advocate's address. course which the committee ap proved. Plain Charge of Whitewash. "It is my purpose to show," Mr. Johnson declared, "that the court -martial record contains more than a suspicion that this witness was while- washed and that counsel participated only in a half hearted prosecution." . Extracts from the judg advo cate's address uuoted by Mr. Johnson set forth that the prosecution did not think or intimate Colonel Hunt wanted Hergdoll to escape, or was in a conspiracy and that it was rea lized Hunt was the "sorriest of all." that the prisoner got away. Sympathy was expressed by the pn secutor for the colonel, now re tired, and it was mentioned that he had made "a magnificent record as an officer," hut that this was not the question at issue, and that there had been a technical violation of military regulations in a way to bring dis credit upon the army. The extracts read at the insistence of Mr. Sherburne related to the sug gestion of General Harris, adjutant general, that a commissioned ollieer placed in charge of the expedi tion, a suggestion not carried out. Tlie prosecutor asked for a verdict of guilty on tlie specification. Colonel Hunt, recently recovered from a long illness, took no part in the discussion. During his examin ation he described plans tor Lerg doll to leave under military guard in search of the buried gold and de clared no officer available and that he had had the utmost confidence in Sergeant O'llare, who was di rectly responsible for the safe re turn of the prisoner. Asked by Chairman Peters if the escape was due to his own lault or to tlie incompetency of the gaurd. Hunt denied he was responsible and added that he did not want to characterize the conduct of the ser geant as dereliction if duty. Mrs. Bergdoll to Be Summoned Mrs. Emma C. IJergdoll. mother of Grover Cleveland IJergdoll. Phil adelphia draft .evader will be sum moned to appear before the house committee investigating Iiergdoll's escape to explain wtiat necanie or tne $105,000 in gold obtained frcm the treasury which her son was released to recover. As she is awaiting sen tence at Philadelphia within the next few days on conviction of conspiracy to aid her son in evading the draft, the date of Mrs. Hergdoll's appear ance has not been definitely set. "Our next step will concern dis position of the gold we now know was taken from the treasury." John S. Sherburne, couneel fi.r the com mittee, said today.
