nurse DECLARES
MISSBERG TOLD
OF ENGAGEMENT

Nothing new was unearthed to
throw light on the circumstances at
tending the death OF Miss Florence
Berg. former Queens hospital nurse,
in the fifth and probably the last
hearing of the inquest. this afternoon.
That Miss Berg stated she was en-
gagged to Capt. John B. Ludy, physi-
clan of the department hospital at
Fort Shafter. was the testimony OF
Mrs. Thorton Hardy, who was the first
to appear in the inquest.
Miss Frances G. Travers, nurse OF
the Queens hospital, whose name has
appeared frequently in the case in con-
nection with Miss Berg's dying days,
added absolutely nothing new TO the
case. She told of one visit to the
Engleside where Miss Berg was stay
ing and then she was told OF the odor
arising from Miss Berg's room.
August J. Bumke, German watch
man of the Queens hospital, stated he
saw Miss Berg with an army officer
on two occasions after dark.
Werner Roehl, superintendent Of
the Queens hospital, testlhed tnat ne
had known Iliss Berg for one year
and seven months, and during that
time she had always made good i'm
preston and attended to her duties
He then repeated what was first
learned by the StarBulletin, early in
the developments of the case, that
Miss Berg had been discharged from
the Queens hospital because OF her
delicate condition.
The housekeeper of Queens hospi-
tai, the superintendent testified, first
told him of the rumors of Miss Bergs
condition. He then had Mr.. Alsup
observe Miss Berg and he ratified the
first information received. Miss Berg
was then discharged for the good of
the service and the discipline of the
Queens hospital" Insisting that she
hear the real reason, she was told
that she was discharged because OF
her physical condition.
Superintendent Roehl stated that he
never saw Miss Berg in company with
a man other than Capt. Ludy.

Egg Famine Hits
Honolulu; Supply
Is All Exhausted

- ONOLULU is On the verge of
an egg famine today. With
- no shipments of California
eggs in two weeks, that source of
supply was exhausted last week
and the ensuing tremendous de-
mand on the island product soon
exceeded the local supply.
According to P. A. Swift, man.
ager of May & Co.. not an egg
was to be found for marketable
purposes in Honolulu today. The
arrival OF the Matsonia tomorrow,
however, is expected to ease up
the str;cCc2cy.
Eggs at a dollar dozen and
butter q, a dollar pound are
winter probabilities. declared Mr..
Swift The prospective shortage
of eggs and butter is no myth, but
a sober reality because Of market
conditions on the mainland. Be-
cause of the high price Of grain
farmers and poultry men are
killing off their fowls rather than
pay exorbitant prices for feed.
The early transport of thousands
of American soldiers to France
has resulted in an enormous de-
mand by the government for can
ned milk and as a result the con-
densers are buying up all the milk
in the market, taking the supplies
from the fresh milk people and
from the cheese and butter max
ers, consequently leaving a small
er supply of butter.

Heads of Railroads
Meet in War Council

Washington, March q. = Twenty
presidents and other high officials of
American railways, representing all
the transportation systems of the
county met in Washington yesterday
to plan the military mobilization of
the transportation facilities of the
country under the auspices of the
Council of National Defense. The
conference was arranged by Daniel
Willard. president of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company, at the request
of Newton d. Baker, the Secretary of
War. Mr.. Willard is chairman of
the recently formed transportation
committee of the advisory commission
of the council.
The railway presidents had a pre-
liminary conference with Secretary
Baker; also conferences with General
Kuhn, head of the Army War College,
who has been at the front as n mill
tary observer for the United States
army in all wars of the last quarter of
a century, and Colonel Chauncey
Baker, who handles the transportation

army. After these conferences the
railway presidents went to the head
quarters of the Council of National
Defense and in consultation with Mr..

Amendments to Naval
Bill Are Designed As
Possible War Measure

Washington, March 2.-Without
discussion the Senate to-day approved
the action of the Naval Committee in
eliminating from the naval bill the
provision reaffirming it to "be the
policy of the United States to adjust
and settle its international disputes
through mediation or arbitration, to
the end that twar may be honorably
avoided"
1t was put in the bill in the House
by Minority Leader Mann.
In resuming consideration of the
navil bill under an agreement to vote
on it's final disposal at o'clock, the
Senate worked under a rule limiting
each Senator's discussion of any item
to five minutes. The opposition to
another navy yard on San Francisco
bay, to supplement the Mare Island
yard, was on the ground that it could
not be used within at least five years
Senator Works wa some of those
who objected. Senator Phelan, also of
California, observed that the amend
ment did not provide for Los Angeles
and San Diego in Senator Works part
o fthe state.
Money at Once
The Senate also adopted another
committee amendment making all
appropriations in the bill Immediately
available instead of waiting until
July 1. In urging Senators to accept
the amendment, Senator Lodge said
the present situation required passage
of the naval bill and also an extra
session of Congress.
"The country" he Sid, 'fs in a sit
uation where it may be at war at very
short notice. The navy is our first line
of defense. We want all of these ap-
propriations Immediately available. To
tie up the money until next July would
be a great mistake. This money we
need now. If we do need 1t we shall
need 1t very much indeed.
II also think there ought to be an
extra session of the whole Congress.
In the present situation the whole
American government ought to be
here, matters ought not to be left en-
tirely to the minority. Congress ought
to be here in this condition of public
affairs. If necessary appropriation
bills ann be held up but this naval bill
ought to pass, for no one can tell when
we will need every dollar, with the ut
most Quickness."

President last night, in transmitting
Secretary Lansing's certification of its

document within the last week, but
without disclosing when the govern

was produced by the government dur

of many that the President probably
knew of the existence of the docu-
ment when he decided to delay no
