Attorney for Suspended New
York AssembIymen Speaks
Five Hours in De.
fenSe of Clients.

Albany, N. Y, March 3-Morris
Hillquit, summing up in five-hour
speech in defense of the suspended
socialist assemblymen who have
been under investigation for the pas.
seven weeks, told the assembly judi
ciary committee it had no right TO
impose upon these five men qualifica-
tions for Office not demanded by the
constitution.
Declaring that the whole proceed
ing against his clients was "a par,
of the national hysteria against radi-
calism," Mr.. Hillquit demanded that
the judiciary committee frame a re-
port recommending the seating of
the FIVE socialists and completed his
summing up with a warning that if
the assemblymen are unseated that
stain upon democracy will never be
washed off, never be removed"
That precedent once created"

he asserted, will work towards the
undoing of the entire constitutional,
representative system so laboriously
built up and upheld in this coun-
try"
Mr.. Hillquit, replying to charges
made against socialists, said:
That the socialist party was rev.
olutionary and that socialists are
revolutionists in the sense that they
favor a program that will take the
industrial system out of the hands
of private individuals and turn it
over to the people to organize it
properly.
That socialism has come to build
and not to destroy and that the mass
action the socialist party has in view
is the legal organized action of
large masses in the community.
Protest Was Duty.
That the socialist party did its
sacred duty to protest against the
war, inasmuch the socialist party
did not believe that democracy
WoulQ De assured as the result OF
the war.
That the socialist party has a
right to tell candidates elected on
the socialist platform to get out
of the party should they prove un-
true to platform pledges and
promises.
That the socialist party is not an
anti-national party and that if So
cialism is international, so is capi-
talism, art and modern life.
That the socialist party does not
approve of the soviet government of
Russia and does not seek to intro
duce a soviet form of government
in the United States, although SYM
pathizing with the Russian social
lists in the maintenance of their
soviet government.

Belgian Chamber Favors
Votes for Women Idea

London, March 5.-The Belgian
chamber has voted in favor of votes
for women Fl years of age, as well
as men, in communal elections, says
the Brussels correspondent of the
London Times.
An amendment offered by Burgo-
master Max excluding women Of
notorious misconduct" was adopted
In view of the fact that voting
at elections is compulsory, the pres
ence of only one woman in the pub
lie gallery during the debate would
seem to indicate women take little
interest in the question.

GOVERNMENT TO
ASSIST MOBILE
General Hines Urges Federal
Aid in Building Terminals
for Warrior Barge Canal

Washington, May 22-Development
Of the South American trade, affecting
all gulf points, depends largely on
cheap bunker coal, which can be OBJ
tanned from Alabama fields by use
of the Warrior river waterways sys-
tenn. Brigadier General Frank T. Hines,
tation service, today told the house
interstate commerce committee.
Though appearing before the COM
mlttee on senate bill, restoring the
New York barge canal to state opera
tion, General Hines discussed water
transportation generally, including the
government operation of the New York
system, as also the government lines
on the Warrior and the Mississippi.
There is no place where bunker
coal can be supplied so cheaply as at
Mobile" declared General Hines, ex-
planning that local officials are pre-
pairing a project for development Of a
terminal that will be adequate for
handling bunkers. He urged that the
committee consider advancing gov
with the government to be repaid from
earnings of the terminal. The Mobile
project Tor the terminal has not heen
submitted to the war department, but
General Hines said he understood that
it contemplated government aid.
ANY aid that can be given should
be given for the sake of our own for
eign trade" declared General Hines,
regarding the Mobile project.
General ines opposed the provision
of the senate bill giving the New York
state operators preference right in the
purchase of bargeS on the New York
canal. After government relinquish-
ment of the canal, he said, the barges
and other government-owned equip
ment should be transferred to other
governme operated water lines on
the Mississippi or the Warrior.
Secretary Baker in a letter sub
mitted to General Hines, took a similar
position.
Now is the opportune time," said
General Hines, in this connection, ITO
make real test Of the waterways.
The railroads for the first time are
willing to cooperate. They are short
of equipment and they could not catch
up with all their demands for three
years"
The first month of war department
operations of the New York canal, he
continued, showed a material cut" in
the loss experienced from the opera
ton under the railroad administration
last year, General Hines said. The
operation of the Warrior and Missis-
sippi lines showed big reductions. he
added, but their full efficiency will
not be reached until made equipment
is in operation.
The deficit on the Warrior and the
Mississippi during last February, the
last month of railroad administration
control, was approximately 100000,
while in March, the first month of
control by the war department, it was
$4,000, General Hines said.
..This loss on the Warrior and the
Mississippi would have been much less
but for an accident at Memphis, where
we lost cargo" said the general.

BERCDOLL HAD
MOTOR WAITING
Attorney Tells, How Draft Evad.
er Planned and Executed
Flight From His Guards

Philadelphia, May 22.-The method
used by Grover Cleveland Bersdoll,
convicted draft-dodger in escaping
from his federal guard in this city yes
terday was explained today by James
E. Romig, a former magistrate and
friend of the Bergdoll family. Mr..
Romig has figured. in the Bergdoll case
ever since he became deserter from
the army in 1917.
"On Thursday morning I was told
that Grover would arrive at the north
Philadelphia station at S:42," said Mr..
Romig. Il went to the station. Grover
got off New York train with two
guards. We all got in motor car
and drove to Mrs. Bergdoll's suburban
residence. There we left Grover and
the guards"
According to Mr.. Romig's story
Grover went driving that afternoon
with his guards. In the evening he,
Grover and the two guards drove to
Phi hiladelphia, returning home at mid
night. One guard slept with Grover
and the other in an adjoining room.
Yesterday morning the mechanician
was working on Growers car. Mr..
Romig understood it was being pre-
pared for journey. He was to ac-
company Grover, but he didn't know
where.
+ How about a search for S150,0e0
Grover is said to have buried in Mary
land?" he was asked.
Il do not know anything about that"
Mr.. Romig told the details of the
escape. I'VE were in the library,
Grover, the two guards and myself he
said. Grover was reciting Shakespeare.
Just when he had us all laughing, the
telephone bell rang. Grover went into
another room to answer it. When the
bell continued to ring, one of the
guards said, "he didn't answer that"
The sergeants looked for Grover. I
joined in the hunt, but no trace Of
him could be found. We then found
that Growers car which the mechani-
clan had been repairing in the garage
had disappeared"
MY God,' said one of the guards,
where has he gone to-"
Il telephoned Gibboney, attorney for
the family, and he came out at once.
He seemed greatly upset. Then he
telephoned to the police, to Washing
ton and to Major Hunt at Fort Jay

Home Service Fund Appeal
Comes to Official Close
Special Committee of Workers
Will Conduct Cleanup Early
This Week, However

The Salvation Army's second home
service appeal in the west Florida zone
came to an official end last night with
the quota still short of being filled. Bad
weather and the scarcity of workers
are given as the major causes for the
failure of the drive to reach the high
total set for it on the basis of last
years success.
In spite of the shortage, Zone Man.
ager Rollo and City Chairman McAllis-
ter and Cross feel that the appeal was
a success. The difficulty of obtaining
sufficient workers handicapped them
greatly and many other causes, among
them the stormy weather at the start
of the drive, contributed to holding
down the contributions.
Many men who were not interviewed
by the regular workers will be visited
by special committee from the Saliva
ton Army. Checks should be made
payable to P. K. Longe, zone treasurer.
Atlanta, May 22.-Although the South
Atlantic division of the Salvation Army
comprising the states of Georgia, Flor
ida, North and South Carolina has
raised about 100000 of it's quota of
100000 in the Salvation Armys sec
ond home service fund appeal, the cam
paign will be continued next week to
allow those cities which are now be-
hind, to complete their quotas.
Edward Young Clarke, campaign di-
rector for the South Atlantic division.
announced today that only about 80
percent of the entire territory has failed
to raise its quotas. 1t also was stressed
by Mr.. Clarke that while several cities
such as Charlotte, Spartanburg, Au-
gusta, Lagrange and Miami have gone
beyond their quotas. this will in no
way relieve those towns whose quotas
have not been subscribed. Each city
must raise its own quota" said Mr..
Clarke, because the funds raised in
each locality are to be spent there
and if the full amount is not raised
the work of the Salvation Army in
that particular section will be ham
pered just to that extent" In several
of the larger cities of the territory
such as Atlanta, Macon and Jackson
vile the campaign will be continued
this week.
