MOVING OF BERGD0LL

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22-
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, rich draft
dodger who escaped from two army
sergeants at Philadelphia yesterday,
was permitted to leave Ft. Jay on rep
resentation of his counsel that he had
secreted a large sum of money in a
place known only to himself. Secretary
Baker said today in formal state
ment
Mr.. Baker denied the published re,
port that he had authorized the NOV
ing of Bergdoll and said his first
knowledge that the prisoner had left
Ft. Jay was when Adjutant General
Harris reported his escape. The sec
retary added that on receiving this
report he directed an immediate and
thorough investigation.
AFTER his escape l was informed
that General Ansell (former acting
judge advocate generaD and Colonel
Bailey General Ansell's law partner)
counsel for Bergdoll, some days ago
represented to the Adjutant General
that Bergdoll prior to his arrest had
secreted a large sum of money in a
place known only to himself and had
made obligations to have Bergdoll
brought under guard and accompanied
by his lawyers to get the money"
PHILADELPHIA, May 22-Grovel
Cleveland Bergdoll, the wealthy draft
dodger who escaped from noncommis
stoned army officers at his moth er's
home here yesterday in high power
ed motor car, was still at liberty to
day. Both federal and city authorities
said that an all night search had fail
ed to reveal even the direction ir
which he went.
Shortly after Bergdoll got away the
police covered all avenues of escape
around the city and every place he
thought he would be likely to go was
watched throughout the night. Flyers
describing the fugitive and the car ir
which he made his escape were sem
to all sections of the country and il
was announced that systematic
search would be made for him.

on the merchant marine bill, hoping
to work out differences between the

WAR PENSIONS Wall
ON RED TAPE AND
ENGLISH deficiency
Ry MARY HENkE.

LONDON, May 7-Outside the war
pension offices in London one sees a
very obvious explanation Of the pres
ent social and labor unrest. Every
day there is a crowd of men waiting
about these Offices for admission.
They are often middle-aged and al
ways shabby and they have it in for
the government which forces them to
wait days before considering their
claims to a pension for war injury.
Critics of the English pension system
denounce it for its snobbery. If a
lieutenant has been injured in action,
he draws compensation for his rank,
and private who received the same
injury gets less money because he was
a man of lower status in the army.
/ The system used in the United States
which treats generals and privates
, alike, is often quoted in contrast.
Must Go Through Office.
Men who apply for pensions are
! forced to a long wait because such
applications ust go through the CEN
trail office al ndon.
! Often the who live in the prov
| inces are for 20 come in to London
to hasten matters, and most OF them
cannot afford the trip.
| The administration is denounced as
, chaotic and one reason for this is the
variety of funds, sponsored by the
Prince of Wales or some other not
able.
! If there was one single government
fund on which to draw, critics declare,
matters would be simplified.
| The amount of war pensions is very
| lew compared with allowance for
