2 THE. BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1921. Efforts to Find Go-Between for Bersdoll Fail House Committee Iuvestigat ing Escape of Draft Slack er Takes Recess for Week or More. Chlcaro Trtbniie-OmBh Be Loaned Wlr. VVashingtoa, May 24. 'Efforts of the house investigating committee to locate the supposed, "go-between" who', furnished Grover G Bergdoll with the cash which enabled him to escape to Germany, fell flat today. The committee then' took a recess for an indefinite period, probably a week or more. When if reconvenes it may hear several mpre witnesses before it begins writing its report. Charles A. Braun, brother of -the escaped slacker, was' the principal witness at today's hearing. He changed his named to Braun because he got tired of bearing the stigma of the name Begdoll. He told the committee he always expected his brother to get into trouble and de cided to change his name before this happened. Braun emphatically denied that he had ever given Grover a dollar. On the contrary, he said, when he heard that Grover was planning to attempt to escape he sent his chauffeur to Governors Island to urge his brother to make no such effort. The chauf feur, however, was unable to see Grover, he stated. , : , . Braun has received letters from Grover since ttte . slacker reached Germany. He received one several weeks ago and promptly destroyed it, he said. T didn't like the tone of tt," he said. "It was very antagonistic to the United States." The witness denied any knowledge of his mother's $105,000 pot of gold. "I don't know any more about it than you do," he told members of the committee. As a matter of fact, he said, he hasn't been on intimate terms with the rest of the family since he tried to have his brother, Grover, adjudged insane in 1915. Braun told how in 1917 he sold a farm in Delaware county, Pennsyl vania, to Grover for $43,000. He said it' was his understanding that Grover wanted the farm so that he could claim exemption as a farmer. - Questioned further about where Grover. got the money to travel to Europe, Braun said it would not have been difficult for him to have col lected from $90,000 to $200,000 before hij flight.

Deadwood, S. D., May 24. (Spe cial.) Carmelo Cucci, formerly of 1102 South Thirteenth street, Omaha, sroes on trial here soon in the present term of United States district court, charged with stealing a large amount of dynamite from the Tro jan Mining company and . making one sipment of the explosive to al leged confederates in Omaha. Cucci is a miner and was tormer- ly employed by the, Trojan company. One hundred and six sticks of dynamite was discovered in the storeroom of the American Express company, 1312 Farnam street early in November. This dynamite, which was enough to blow up a whole city block in Omaha, was consigned to Antonio Roberto, who was' chief witness against Luciano Radicia, sr., 3012 Burt street, tried and acquitted last Tune for the murder of Joseph Marino. Roberto disappeared. He former ly lived at 1320 South Twentieth street. Another shipment of dynamite was addressed to Michael Iannazzo, 1102 South Thirteenth street. Both ship ments were made to Omaha by Cucci, police believed. Because of the connection of Roberto with the Radicia murder trial, police believed. the finding of the explosive in Omaha would lead to the unearthing, of a "black hand" ring in the city, with intentions to avenge the death of Marion. Activities of the Omaha police have been held up until the end of the Cucci trial. . Mrs. Stillman to File for Divorce Under Compromise One Point in Settlement Which May Cause Hitch Is Husband's Demand That She Leave U. S. New York, May '24. Two fresh point's of interest developed today in the James A, Stillman divorce trag edy. ''. Of keenest bearing upon -the pendi ing agreement to compromise the present suit brought by Mr. Stillman, is the revelation that Justice Mors chauser had let it become known that he would not consent to any settlement which did not specifically recognize the legitimacy of young Guy . Stillman. Of great importance as regards the future of Mr. and Mrs. Stillman's martial relations came the disclosure that," after Mr. Stillman had with drawn the nresent action, it is planned for Mrs. Stillman to initiate a suit for ' divorce on her' own be half and file it right here in New York state. Mr. Stillman will not contest. Mrs. Stillman, it is on the pro gram, will name Mrs. Leeds as co respondent. Mr. Stillman will make the usual answer of denial, but wi.l not contest, thus paving the way for a possible decree for Mrs. Stillman. The' new action will bring to surface nothing attacking Mrs. Stillman's conduct and, therefore, she will stand before the court "with clean hands" and be entitled to a divorce under the laws of New York state. There is said to be a single hitch to the formal - signing of the. com promise' agreement. This disagree ment, concerns a demand on the part of Mr. Stillman that his wife consent to- take up her residence in Europe for a period of- at least five, years. The apparent objection is for Mr. btillman to have a clear coast to re main in this country, but Mrs. Still man is refusing to consent to five years' exile and is expected to win out on this point, as she has on all others at issue. There was a conference of attor neys for both sides Monday and the last f the disputed questions -were canvassed, but there was no official announcement of the complete agree ment having been accepted. Tourists Reach 16,000 ; Customers Second Day (Continued JFrom rare One.) the vacuum cleaner, this mill turns out ISO dozen. brooms a day. A car loadfof. whisk brooms was shipped this 'week to Marshall-Field 8$ Co.; in; Chicago. Shipments'are- made to all parts of the country and the Deshler product is known m ureenland, Cuba and Hawaii. , The packing houses buy in great quantities from this prairie factory. ' 1 ri. J. atruve, the owner of the broom factory, is given most of the credit tor making Deshler what ' it is today. The idea of building up industries in rural' towns is his, and has been carried far. Local caoital has built a manure spreader factory, a coffee roasting plant, an ice fac tory and is establishing a knitting mill which will use wool produced in this neighborhood. , Fine Spirit Displayed. There is more to the spirit of Deshler than mere commercial striv ing. On the main street, for instance, stands a rest station dedicated to the use of visitors. Farmers and their wives and children rest here when on shopping trips. Deshler makes common cause with the farmers.' The dairy farmers about here maintain a large co-operative creamery and thus have a stake in the town. Tomor row a mass meeting of farmers will be held in a big tent, afc which Wil liam Langer and A. C. Townley will debate the Nonpartisan league ques tion. Deshler is not siding with either ' faction, but welcomes all farmers alike. Along the line, through' Jefferson, Thayer and' Nuckolls counties, paved streets are frequent Nelson is show ing its confidence, in business con ditions by paving a mile of broad streets with concrete. The reception of the trade tourists there was un usually hearty. In recognition of this, Dan Desdune's band hit up a piece of jazz and J. P. Neslebush and Gas Miller staged a dance which was recorded by the moving picture camera. "Dead Man" Revived. Another novel entertainment was put on at Hebron, where W. E. Ncsbit, Omaha booster, rode in a hearse and was revived by the shouts of the Omaha, men .that Hebron-, was a live town, that there were no dead ones in it. -: ' Business conditions are reported to be improving and bankers are show ing confidence. In. the village of Nora is a bank with. $153,000 -depos- While other crops are godd, there is great difference of opinion concern ing the wheat crop. ' From Falls City west reports have not been en couraging. In spots the freeze is blamed, in i others, lice, and about Deshler, dry rot. Chester says that a 12-hour rain would be of great benefit Estimates of damage to wheat vary from 25 to 40 per cent and the yield is set at from 10 to 15 bushels an' acre in many places. The day's tour ended with an en tertainment in the city of Fairbury. 47 Will Graduate From Broken Bow High Broken Bow, Neb, May 24. (Special.)
