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. Aug. 20.—Dispatches from
Mellila today estimated the losses !n
the latest attacks by rebellious Riff
tribesmen on the Jforoccan front at
500. Both sides have rushed up re
inforcements.
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.
Fourteen other holdups were re
pbrted to the police.

Yankton Fair
Draws Large
Omaha Crowd
Many Big Business Men to Go
to South Dakota
on Special
Train.
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.
