Mrs. Bergdoll Is
Convicted for
Aiding Slackers
Mother of Draft Evaders Held
for Complicity In Protecting
Sons, Both of Whom Are
Under Sentence.
Philadelphia. Sept. 29. M'S.
Emma C. Bergdoll und her four co
deftfiidanls were found guilty last
night of conspiracy lo aid two of
her sons, drover and Erwin, evade
the draft. The verdict was returned
before Judge Dickinson x in the
United States district court.
Mrs. Bergdoll, her son, Charles
A. Brayii, and former . Magistrate
James L. Romig, were found guilty
on every count under which thev
had been indicted..
Albert S. Mitchell and Henry
Schuh were acquitted on the indict
ments in which they alone were ae
ftndants, but found guilty with a
-.ecominendation for mercy on the
pint bills. v
Ou application pf their counsel the
('.efendants were released ou $10,000
bail each pending a motion for a
hew trial. , "
Total of Seven Indictments,
There .were seven Jndicfnients, "'n-
hiding 56 counts. In two of the in
dictments, all fivev defendants were
t barged with ronspiring 4ith Grcv
er and Erwin Bergdoll to assist
hem in evading the draft. The
other five indictments charged esrli
defendant separately with conspir
ing with ,the Bergdoll brothers to
evade the urate.
During the trial automobile hunt
ing and fishing trips enjoyed by the
two Bergdoll brothers while they
were being sought by the govern--uent,
were described by witnesses
for the prosecution. It was testi
fied that Mrs. Bergdoll was present
v. the start on several of these trips
and prepared lunches for her sonn1
and thftir guests, former Mapis
trate Romig, according to the testi
mony, was on several of these trips
pud, together with Mrs. Bergdoll,
had withdrawn $105,000 irt gold
from the treasury in Washington J in
exchange for bank notes..
Accused of Hiding Fugitive.
. Braun, who changed his name be
cause of his brothers' escapades, was
accused of harboring Erwin at his
home. Mitchell, an automobile sales
'Than, and Schuh, formerly proprietor
i f a cafe in this city, were implicat
ed in the furnishing of an automo
bile for Erwin's use.
In his charge todayi Judge Dick
inson said:
"It "is too much to expect any
mother to surrender her own son."
Then he added; , .
"Pityjamd sympathy tir a dfeserfef
are no,' excuse ffor Whoring a-JeJ
serter or aiding his' escape.
"The questibn that faced the jury'
he said, "was whether the .defend

"', Republicans Block Move!
The liftt8e: was disposed. ito make
some amendments 'to .the fevenue
law at the session of last spring, hut
the rcpuNkan leaders in tlie' senate
refused to agree to &fl'cli a 'program,
believing that revisipn'of both rev
cnue aneVHariff laws should be de
layed Until, after the inauguration
of the jhexty president. Late im the
last session ;thc house passed a bill
lia$ed on recommendations of the
Treasury department, amending the
""Revenue- law to simplify its admin
istration. E?en this biH which made
no changes" in tax rates, was held
up jii the senate finance committee
where it is now--pending. It is new
possible that'the senate might agree
V- ta pass this measure at the winter
session, but ' its provision would
have no -material effect' 'upon the
ordinary run of taxpayers., ,
So.me changes in 'the revemie law
mighV be possible during the com
ing winter if the republican organ-;
"Nation in cogress had any well de
fined program on the subject. While
opposition to the excess profits tax
developed considerable strength at
the last session, there we're some
I republicans and probably a majority
of the democrats, who continued to
defend .the tax. Failure of any one
to offer x substitute, plan for rais
ing revenue which could meet witU
any general approval was the chie(
stumbling block in the way of its
repeal. "While the sales tax wfs ad
vocated in some quarters, sentiment
on the proposition did nto crystallize
to the pofnt where its adoption was
made possible.
- Present .prospects are that there
can- ,bc no , substantial decrease in
the amo'unt of revenue which must
le . derired from taxation for sev-.
- rrat years to come. .This -means that
1t the excess-profits tax is to be re
oealed. some other means must be
figured ont for obtaining the amount
of money which would thus be lost.
' With taxes in all -directions already
high, there seems, no way to work
out a solution unless some new
chemc. such as a sales tax. be
adopted. -

Youth Who "Buys''

A. A. Clark, Counil Bluffs cap
italist and owner of the Grand hotel,
A. Lacy, manager and holder of a
;10-year lease on the hotel, and all the
employes ofthe hostelry, besides a
tiumber of Omaha and Councjl
filuffs . business men, wiped their
eyes yesterday and are still wonder
ing what, it's all about.
On September 21, a dapper young
man, walked into the .Grand hotel
and registered as H. D. Dyer, Akron,
O - ,
He talked high finance. He t61d
of hi wealthy fathef, 72 years old,
back in Akron, who wanted to buy
a gooc hotel and place luoi in charge
ot the catc. , v .. . ,
Liked Grand Hbtel.
Cvcr liked the Grand hotel and
esked i'or the owner. He dickered
with A. A. Clark concerning the
purchase of the building, but when
told Lacy held u 10-year leas
anged his plans to purchasing the
lease from Lacy and the fixtures and
urniture from Clark. -
He named satisfactory terms, Je-
pendent on the arrival of his father
from Akron. Both Lacy and ClarU
ceclined to divulge the amount of
fered. This amount -was apparently sat
isfactory, however, for tbv said they
agreed to meet his proposition.
Promises Many Raises.
Immediately 'Dyer consulted em
ployes of the hotel. He told tbrn!
he was going to purchase, the estab
lishment and that they were' all in
!ine for a substantial increase. He
also hired additional employes.
At the Continental ' furniture
company in.Council Bluffs he tenta
tively purchased ?J,600 worth ot new
furniture.
Crockery and new linen vas ar
ranged for in Omaha and the change
in management was to take cttect
as soon as the Hder Dyer should
arrive m Council Bluffs last night or
this morning.
Buys $7,000 Car.
Meanwhile the younK man closed
a deal with Frank Vandcrpool for a
new $7,000 automobile, and made
tentative purchases of expensive
clothing with the leading ' haber
dashers.' Thursday morning he declared he
Lintended to cash a check for a large
amount, but when queries were sent
to Ohio concerning his standing in
Akron and the truth of his story,
Council Bluffs banks declined to
handle the check. '
Also 'Tuesday, he endeavored to
assume control of the cafe at' the
hotel, which is now under the man
agement of Charles Gundrum.' '
.Shortly before V.oon he lett the
hotel. When he did not return, it
was presumed he had gone to meet
his father but when he failed to ap
pear Tuesday night or yesterday,
.Manager Lacy investigated his
room. : ' - -
. ( . Find Cook's Outfit.
There he found a black grip in
.which was equipment for a pastry
cook, from white cap and uniform
to the little tinsel tools used In the
making of fancy pastry.
His room rent is unpaid.
He's gone.
. His castje was pure air, Clark and
Lacy now beli;ve, and they both
now1 -declare they did " not place
much credence in his story from the
tart.
Especially when he signed the
name Akron on the register bookas
"Ackron."

though Henthorn is only asking fpr
$200. Highlander policies were writ

out on these policies, but. on advice
from the state insurarite department
that these policies were not collect

the republican nominee also spoke
for greater care that federal appro

the whole nation rather than to win

harbor legislation he condemned
particularly and made a plea for an
intShd waterway policy that would

Scores Wilson's Methods.
"I cannot frxpkess myself too
strongly against one-man govern

tralized power,' he said. "I am
against the spirit of encroachment or
assumption which-may lead one oi
the great 'departments of our gov
ernment under the constitution to
invade or aslume the functions of
another. Washington warned against
it in his' farewell address.. .
"Even though it is verj-' old-fashioned
to believe in Washington, I do
believe- in the caution he uttered.
Our government must express -the

respect the right and obligations of

gress. I am going to consult and
converse with the men and women
of America. Transportation is the
very key to all our industrial; agri

"There are still s,ome ox carts and
isolated sections, but we are living
in a motor age. We are doing big

them in a bigger way. But npthing
ought wholly to supersede the water
highway. Our problem is to end
expenditures which are made to re
joice a local community, and apply
them effectively to make the water
ways the ways of - commerce. - , I
mean to seek to apply our federal
resources to proving the utility of
improved riverways before trying to
satisfy a nationwide desire to-turn
a federal duty into federal favor. I
am thinking of . the riverways
throughout the republic, on the
waters of which. ought to ride a vast
commerce, which indexes widening
trade and common good fortune.'..

Tells of Alleged Intimida
tion by Man Whose, ;
Tirst Wife Was
Murdered.
A quiet, demure aud apparently
highly educated yqung woman, Mrs.
Stella Nethaway, second wife of C.
L. Nethaway,-gave her testimony in
her suit for a divorce before Dis
trict Judge Sears yesterday.
She declared he compelled her to
write a letter on one- occasion while
he stood near hen holding a con
cealed knife.
"I was in terror for my very life
from two weeks after our marriage,"
declared this handsome young wo
man. '
; "He was constantly talking about
tne negro question and negro lovers.
He called me terrible names and
grew so loud that I frequently had
to shut the windows to keep the
neighbors front hearing." , p .' ,
First Wife Murdered.
Nethaway's first wife was mur
dered several years ago and her body
was found buried in a shallow hole
on the railroad, rigjit'of-way north
of Florence in. a place that has come
to be known ' as the "Nethaway
cut." . -' ' '
For this crime a negro was sen
tenced after two' trials to a term of
20 years ip the penitentiary. 11
Nethaway was indicted by the
grand jury - which investigated "tlie
court house riots. f a. year ago, The
jury which tried him disagreed and
his case-- is set for a secpnd trial
during the coming court term.' - -
It was alleged tha he conspired
and by inflammatory speeches urged
on the crowd to lynch the negro
and burn the court house the night
of the riot.
Pre-Nuptial Contract.
Nethaway married his present wife
in Omaha December 2. 1?18. He
had met her in Chicago. She was
Miss Stella Bump. V : .
After a few weeks' life with him
she returned to Chicago.
A pre-nuptial contract to protect
Nethaway's property, which she tes
tified, he compelltd her to sign, waTr
introduced in evidence.
Judge A'.- L. Sutton, counsel' for
Mrs. Nethaway, called Sheriff Clarl:
to testify regarding Nethaway's al
leged activities during the, court
house riot.
Letters, both typewritten aud
written by hand by Nethaway, wctf
introduced. Many -of these are incoherent.

and. District Attorney T. S. Allen
from cancelling the licenses of com

that government officials cannot be

Mr. Allen also asks that the ac
tion be dismissed as against him be
