about Is minutes, at IL O'Clock.
Mr.. Berg some time ago sustained
an injury to his leg, and vein was
severed at that time. The injury had
never healed entirely, and had given

had been under physicians care.
His condition was not regarded as
serious, however.

Mr.. Berg was the contractor for the
construction of the new main building
at Augustana, and the work nearly
ruined him financially. He made
mistake in his bid, but fulfilled the con-
tract to the letter, though he lost very
heavily, and was compelled to give up
his business afterwards. He had built
four of the churches of Moline, the
court house of Fulton county, the high
school at Geneseo, the Grant and Lin
coin schools in Moline, and many 9th
er big buildings in this part of the
state.
Work mt Arsenal.
Mr.. Berg was native of Sweden,
where he was born Feb. Is. 1889. He
engaged i'll business as a contractor
there, with success. He was married
in 1865, and in 1865 came to the United
States with mis- wife and settled at
Rockford. He removed to Rock Island
in 1880, AMI was employed for two
years on construction work at Rock
Island arsenal, as d foreman. He then
removed to Moline and engaged in the
contracting business.
Surviving Family.
Mr.. Berg WAS an inventor, and hal
designed number of mechanical de
vices, including a clamp hook and 4
platform used in roof construction.
Mr. Berg is survived by his wife and
six sons, Anton, Heening, Carl and
Reynold at home, and Arthur and Rob-
ert residing in Chicago Mr.. Berg was

NO C4RRIAGES FOR ARMY.
Controller Of the Treasury Says Of
fcerS Do Not Need Br0ughams.


Washington, Aug 1.-THE accounting officers Of
the Treasury have decided 20 put end to What
they regard es illegal transactions the part Of
army Officers who have teen purchasing with gov
eminent funds certain vehicles which regar ded
as not within the class mentioned in the law as
constituting the means Of army transportation
The incident which called direct attention 10 this
situation was the purchase of brousham by q
high army officer in Chicago. He called upon
by the Controller of the Treasury report why
such vehicle was purchased out Of the public
funds. and he replied that it intended for use
when the Secretary OF War; prominent public Of
hcisls Of this government and distinguished for
eigners visited Chicago. The Controller has found
that the Secretary Of War is entitled 10 his travel
ling expenses when away from Washington and
that he does not need army carriage retained
in any city for his convenience.
When army officers are travelling under orders.
they receive mileage actual travelling expenses,
so they do not need broughams in Chicago or else
where In the case Of distinguished foreigners, the
Controller holds thst Congress contemplated no
such provision. unless IL especially authorized.
II has been decided that there must be end
10 the purchase of what the Controller regards
fancy vehicles, end which are not wagons draws
or Other vehicles mentioned in the law Ne says
that Congress has placed prohibition upon such
purchases in the ease Of government officers in
Washington. and he believes the same rule should
hold good in the Of army officers who are
on duty in other places
II is question as 10 what extent this decision
will affect automobiles. Much criticism has been
caused by the use Of some Of the automobiles and
other carriages by members Of the families Of
army officers in Washington ana other places.
The Controller insists that this shall be regu
lated and where there IS not specific authority
for the purchase OF q vehicle for the convenience
and comfort or entertainment OF a representative
OF the government The acquisition OF such vehicle
shall not he charged UP 10 the fund for army
transportation
The decision Of the Controller may make q I'M
comfortable for some OF the army officers who
nave signed vouchers or made disbursements for
carriages and automobiles. since they may be held
personally responsible To the government for the
expenditure OF public funds not authorized by the
statutes IL will require IN such instances legis-
lsuVe relief in order 10 spare disbursing officer
from an announcement refund.
