The same performance was repeated.
The machine dashed to the driveway,

porch, and went inside.
The police and federal agents did
not take up their guard on the grounds

Mr., Daniel and Agent McDevitt, ac

the bell, knocked and called.

heavy caliber revolver was thrust in
his face. Then Mrs. Bergdoll appeared.
Holding the gun at arms length, she
made her threat to shoot.
II will shoot the first man who

Mr.. Daniel explained who he was,
and that he represented the United
States Government, Mrs. Bergdoll was

fifty and sixty acres Of land were flooded
by coudburst in the Connellsville
coke region, near here, this morning.
Buildings were swept away, mines flood
ed, trees uprooted and railroad tracks
washed out. Wires are down, but early
reports said number Of persons were
missing believed to have been drowned.
The plant of the Republic Lumber
Company was struck by lightning and
burned. The loss is estimated at more
than 800, 900.
Water at Herbert reached a depth of
six to eight feet and prevented firemen
from i'niontown and Counelsville from
fighting the lumber yard fire. a later
report from Herbert said two families
who lived near the lumber plant are
missing. A number of employees also
could not be located after the cloud
burst. At Reruh' the freight station

is the reason he wants to be a flying
instructor. Then he would not have to
kill anybody"
It was reported at the time that Mrs.
Bergdoll offered to give $1,000 to the
Red Cross il Grover would not have
to shoulder gun in the army.
Her pleas were in vain, however, and
Grover was ordered to appear before
the board. He failed to do SO and was
charged with evasion of the selectlve
draft act.
FIees From Justice
Bergdoll disappeared and was report
ed to be in various parts OF the country
and also in Mexico. He. mailed post
cards to friends in this city on which
he derided the authorities and chal-
lenged them to find him. These cards
we're received by the dozen, and 1t was
believed that many were mailed by per-
sons who were in sympathy with Berg
dolls actions. One man was arrested
in this connection.
Not CIassed as Deserter
Bcrgdoll was not classed as n deserter
because it subsequently developed tnat
District Appeal Board No. had talled
to certify him as such. This was duc'
it is said, to clerical error.
The carelessness Of the board IN TINS
respect was called to the attention oil the
Washington authorities.
On July. IS, 1918, United States
District Attorney Kane forwarded CERT
fcates in the Bergdoll case to the ad-
infant general, and Bergdoll, who had
then been a fugitive for eleven months,
was given five days to report to the au.
thorities. He could not be located ana
| nothing was heard of him.
Despite all the quibbling over legal
technicalities, however, Bcrgdoll was
classed as a deserter, and circulars
bearing his picture were sent all over
the country.
Bergdoll Home Closed
3 The Bergdoll home at Fifty second
street and Wynnefeld avenue was
closed, the servants and family chauf-
feur were dismissed, and it was re-
ported that Mrs. Bergdoll had gone
to live in one of the city's suburbs.
Mrs. Bergdoll was subsequently ar
rested, charged with aiding her son to
evade the draft laws, and later ac-
quilted.
Bergdoll was reported to have been
seen here two weeks ago. James Nc
Manus, of Overbrook, former yeoman
in the navy, said he saw Bergdoll driv-
ing near Overlook in an automobile.
He said that when he shouted to Berg
doll the latter waved his hand and put
on extra speed.
McManus reported the discovery OF
Bergdoll to a patrolman of the Sixty
first and Thompson streets station and
an investigation was started.

NEWARK PLANS ICE PLANT
Retailers Say They Have to Buy
Soap to Get Sugar

Newark, n. j., Aug. 90. - Retail
grocers in New Jersey, to get sugar from
wholesalers, have to buy soap at above
the market price, according to a COM
plaint flied yesterday with Samuel !.
Kessler, assistant United States district
attorney. The complaint alleges that
many retailers are unable to get sugar
for their customers, while others say
they can buy only in fifty pound lots
and must buy soap at eight cents, which
is sold in chain stores for seven and
one half cents cake.
So far Newark has eaten SGj OF 90
worth of army foodstuffs. The city
commissioners authorized Mayor Gil
len to find the probable cost and pos
sibilities of city owned ice plant.
II am informed that there are ice
plants in operation in Newark" Mayor
Giilcn said, that manufacture ice at n
little more than 81 ton, and others
that can produce it. at about 50 a ton.
In Newark wholesalers get SS ton.

the matter to the Department of JUS

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll has been
in the public eye during the last ten
years because of his frequent scnsa -
tional cScapades.
He first gained prominence as an au
tomobile racer and took part in many
important meets. Later he became af-
fectcd with speed mania on the public
highways. He was arrested scores of
times for violating the speed laws, but
dehed the police and constables and
continued his mad pace regardless of
repeated warnings.
Ills undoing came when he collided
with the automobile of w. B. Nell
vaine, of Haverford. A warrant was is
sued for his arrest and after a search
OF several days he was captured in a
garage at Thirty first and Dauphin
streets. He made stubborn resistance
and it required seven detectives to take
him to police station.
Jailed for Three Months
He was subsequently sentenced to
three months in Jail in Norristown. The
JAN term did not in the least affect his
mania for speeding.
Bergdoll subsequently turned 20 avia =

started his career as an aviator by rae
ing train from Philadelphia to Devon.
lie beat the train and then to celebrate
the victory flew to Atlantic City.
About this time BergdoH's brother
Charles made application in Common
Pleas Court No. l for a commission in
lunacy to. test the sanity of Grover.
The plaintiff contended that his brother
ded guardian. Two boys testified
that Grover burned them with an X-ray
machine and later locked them in a
closet and blew smoke through the key
hole. .a ....
At the hearing of the application Mrs.
Emma Bergdoll, his mother, declared
that Grover was sane and asserted that
he had more sense than those who
: brought the suit. He was subsequently
declared sane by an alienist.
BY way of change in tactics Berg
doll then turned to journalism and
started newspaper while. in the fresh
man class at the University of Penn
sylvania. The publication was called
''Praecursor. The paper caused gen :
eral Indignation at Penn and was sup
pressed after one issue. The students
urged Bergdoll's expulsion from the
University.
Drafted in 1917
Bergdoll was drafted for service or
August II, 1917. He did not appear
for examination and his mother asked
exemption. She requested that her sor
be made flying instructor, in which
capacity, she said, he would be more
valuable in the country's service.
She said that Grover was mortall,
