Bergdoll Says He Never ^ill Rethm to U. S. Wealthy American Draft Dodger Is Sort of Idol Near Home in Germany. By International New* Service. Eberbach, Germany, Aug. 20.— Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. wealthy American draft dodger, who recently killed one man and wounded another during an attempt to kidnap him, de clared today he would never go back to the United States. “They will never get me,” he boasted. Asked If he would return, he re plied: "I would have gone back to Ameri ca with my mo'ther (Mrs. Emma Berg Uoll of Philadelphia). If they had not tried to get me by force, but now I will never return.” Bergdoll is a sort of idol here abouts. He has many friends In Eb erbach. Even many officials ere friendly toward him. He gained much sympathy by news that he refused to enter the American army to fight the Germans and In addition he has been well supplied with American dollars since he came to Baden to live. Woman Not Held for Man’s Death Mrs. Anna Gustafson Absolved from Blame for Madse Mortensen's Death. -Mrs. Anna Gustafson, 3026 Califor nia street, was absolved of all blame in connection with the death of Madse Mortensen, 83, 6125 North Twenty fourth street, when she appeared in Central police court Monday morn ing. Charges of reckless driving against her were dismissed on recommenda tion of Deputy County Attorney Paul Steinwender, who said an Investiga tion into the accident which resulted in Mortensen's death three weeks ago showed that she was not to blame. The aged man was driving at Creighton boulevard and Lake streets on July 30 when his car collided with the car driven by Mrs. Gustafson. Hts car was overturned and he and hlB sister-in-law, Mrs. John Morrison, 6514 Florence boulevard, were thrown to the pavement and severely injured. They were taken to the Methodist hospital, where he died. Mrs. Gustafson drove away after the accident, but reported to police the next day. Omaha Bank Clearings Go to $174,000,000 Omaha banks bid fair to shatter the record thty made in bank clearings in 1922, taking the clearings for the first seven months of 1923 as a basis ■ for comparison According to figures received from the Clearing House association by the bureau of publicity, the clearings for the first seven months of 1923 were *1,288,876,307.34, as against *1,114, 240,953.89 in 1922, an increase of *174, 635,453.45. The three big months of 1923 were January, March and May. January's clearings were $194,556,973.77, March clearings were $211,825,572.20 and May darings $187,642,160.46, each having big gains over the sami months of 1922. The unusual big holiday trade Is accountable for the big volume of business done In January, the annual “turnover” of March 1 accounts for the March volume and the increased price of farm products and improved business conditions in general, par ticularly building, account for the May volume With business going on in an even manner, as it has been for some time, with no more “breaks’' in the future, bank clearings are ex pected to keep up their volume throughout the ydhr. Clearings for 1922 were $1,981,529, 000, as against $1,903,168,685 In 1921. Present Indications are that 1923 will show quite as much increase over 1922 as that year did over 1921.

Coolidge Plans Anti-Mob Law i ’resident Concerned Over Vio lent Outbreaks in Four States of Union. By International News Seri Ire. Washington, Aug. 20.—Frequently recuring outbreaks of mob violence throughout the nation today caused officials of the Coolidge administra tion to consider enactment of legisla tion making these offenses a crime against the federal government. With governors of four states alarmed by mob uprisings and martial law proclaimed in one locality, Presi dent Coolidge was reported deeply concerned by the apparent Increased disregard for law and order. The president and other government offi cials were said to be considering the advisability of enacting an anti-mob bill in the next congress. The proposed legislation would ap ply not only to lynch mobs, but to all organizations of maked men who take the law "into their own hands." The Dyer bill, passed by the house hut "talked to death*' in the senate liy a democratic filibuster, will be re introduced in the next congress, it was learned today. The Coolidge ad ministration is expected to support this measure inasmuch as the execu tive wns elected on a platform which pledged Its enactment. Reports from Department of Justice agents at the scene of mob outrages meanwhile are reaching government authorities. Federal agents now are investigating the crimes iu Texas, Ohio, Georgia, Oklahoma and West Virginia. A movement now under way would amend the bill to make any act of mob violence a federal crime. Under this Inventory would come the whippings, deportations and "tar and feather” outrages, frequently at tributed to the Ku Klux Klan. Penal ties of a lesser scale than those ap plying to lynching* would be pro vided. The Dyer bill will be re introduced in the house by its author. Represen tative Dyer, republiean, of Missouri, and In the senate by Senator Short ridge, republican, of California. Spanish Rebels in New Attack Five Hundred Reported Dead in Fresh Outbreak Near Melilla. Madrid.

The Spanish . minister of war has ordered every army corps to be held in readiness for field service. General Echague. Spanish com mander in chief at Melilla. and Ab dabel Krill, commander of the rebels are directing their armies In person. The rebel offensive is said to have resulted from the action of the Spanish in sending out convoys In sufficiently protected, thus inviting attack. The Navy department is sending battleships to Morocco to bombard rebel positions on the coast. Several unattached tribes have joined the Spanish. Public sentiment is pessimistic. Wave of Crime Sweeps Dtroit Policeman Shot Dead, Several Wounded by Bandits Who Raid Roadhouse. IV* JiiternfitioniU News Srr* ire. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 20.—A wave of outlawry ewept Detroit Sunday, re sulting in the death of a policeman and wounding of several persons and continued today when a collector for the General Ice Delivery company was held up and robbed of $5,000. Five men were in custody suspected of connection with a raid on the fashionable Allendale Inn, where four men and two women were shot and 75 gay patrons lined up against the wall and robbed of cash and Jewels estimated at $20,000. A posse of 1,000 citizens is besieg ing a swamp six miles south of Monroe, where a sixth suspect is be lieved in hiding. The bandits an nounced their appearance on the dance floor of the inn by firing re volvers into the ceiling and their weapons continued to bark at every display of fight. Police believe the same gang re sponsible for the death of Patrolman Oscar Reinhardt, who was shot on the Monroe road when he attempted to halt occupants of a speeding auto mobile. Two youths, both 16. were shot, one perhaps fatally, when they en gaged in a pitched battle with police after holding up a motor car on a road leading to the city.

Yankton business men have notified Omaha business men that they are making elaborate plans for the enter tainment of Omaha ns who will visit Yankton Wednesday, August 29, to attend the second day of the Yank ton county air, which haa been designated as "Omaha day.” Letters of acceptance to the Invita tlon Issued to Omaha business men last week by prominent Y’ankton busi ness men have been received at Yank ton from the fallowing Omahans: George JJrandeis, J. L. Brandeia * Sons: Ford E. Hovey, president, Stockyards National bank; C. W. Rue sell, vice preaident, M. E. Smith A Co.; Walter W. Head, president malia National bank; F. H. Davis, president First National bank; John L. Kennedy, president United State.' National bank: Everett Buckingham, Union Stockyards company; T. U. Byrne of Byrne-Hammer Dry Goods company: David Cole and others. The visit to Yankton will bo .»pcn sored by the Trade Extension Mar ket week, wholesale and retail com mittee!! I f the Omaha Chamber of Commerce. A special train of nine Pullmans, Including dining and hag gave cars will leave Omaha Tuesday night at 10 o'clock and will go di rectly to Mitchell. Towns to be visited on the way from there to Yankton will be: Kthan, Dimock, Parkston, Tripp. Kaylor, Scotland, Tyndall, Tabor and Yankton. Doc Waggoner and his famous saxaphone band will accompany the party and play at all stops. The party will remain in Yankton from 2:45 p. m. until midnight, returning to Omaha in time for breakfast Thurs. day morning. The visit to Yankton is different than the usual trade trip. It is really the first "call" Omaha has made to Yankton, this territory having been shut off from the Omaha trade terri tory because there was no bridge across the Missouri there. With the completion of the Meridian highway i bridge, now under construction, Yankton and its vast agricultural and livestock territory will be placed in direct contact with Omaha, little more than 150 miles away. Omaha is the nearest market center and will be the logical market for these pro ducts. In addition, direct communi cation will be established between Omaha and the northwestern states via Yankton.
