Gas Explosion Injuries 4
Policemen and Tenants Hurled
Downstairs by Blast

Two patrolmen and two residents of
the building were burned and bruised
early yesterday morning by the ex-
piosion Of gas that had accumulated
from a partly open jet in the kitchen
Of Frank Patterson's home at 1907
Park Avenue. Those injured were Pa
trolmen Joseph Smith and Oscar
Johnson. of the East l26th Street police
station, and Herbert and Frank Smith,
brothers, of 1907 Park Avenue They
were taken to Harlem Hospital!
The brothers smclled the escaping
gas when they got home, and sum
moned the patrolmen. The odor was
traced to the door of Patterson's home
and they awakened him, telling him to
be careful not to strike q match. The
light in the hall was burning, how
ever. and it is thought that when Pat
tcrson opened the door an eddy Of gas
reached the flames, which shot back
into the cas-hlled kitchen. The four
men in the hall were thrown down
stairs.

Bedtime Stories
Buster Bear Gets a Sharp Reminder
BY Thornton w. Burgess
You'll some times find Ct stab of pain
Prores for yoaer everlasting gain.

Buster Bear had spent very pleas
ant summer. You see, it had been a
great summer for berries, Strawberries,
raspberries and blueberries, all kinds
Of berries. Now, when berries are
plentiful Buster Bear is happy. So all
happy. Day after day he had filled his
stomach with all the berries it would
hold, and what more could any one ask
to be happy? Yes, Buster Bear had
spent a very pleasant summer.
Now it was early fall, and the berry
season was over. Even the late blue
berries were about gone, and Buster
find enough for meal Easy living
had made him lazy, and now he grum-
bled little as he hunted for berries.
You know, easy living is apt to make
folks lazy, and when they are lazy they
are apt to grumble if there s any work
to be done.
So Buster grumbled as he hunted for
berries in the Old Pasture. After
while he came to sunny spot where
few late flowers were in bloom. Bus
ter had been roaming about the greater
PaAI VI Ile HlSHt DeIore, ana LhlS
sunny spot was very tempting, very
tempting indeed. Buster stopped
grumbling. With a sigh of utter con-
tentment he stretched out in that sunny
place for nap. In two minutes Bus
ter was asleep, and in two minutes
more he was dreaming.
Now, Buster had chosen to lie down
right on lot of those late flowers.
He didn't give them thought. He
gave them no more thought than if
they had been plain grass. His only
thought was that they made him a COM
Portable bed, very comfortable bed.
So far as Buster Bear was concerned
that was all they were good for.
But there was some one else who
thought very differently. 1t was Busy
Bee. She knew all about those flowers.
That particular place was one of her
favorlte places just because of those
flowers. You sce she had use for them
From them she gathered the honey
which she was working so hard to store
away. 1t was hard to find flowers
enough these fall days, and she was
jealous of every one.
So when she came back and found
Buster Bear sleeping there right on
those flowers she became SO angry that
for moment or two she couldn't do a
thing but buzz. She buzzed and buzzed,
and the more she buzzed the angrier
she became. She buzzed right in one

Court. Their mother, Mrs. Emma C.
Bergdoll; their brother, Charles A.
Braun; James E. Romig, Albert S.
Mitchell and Henry Schupp went on
trial jointly on charges of conspiring
to aid the two brothers in the evasion
of military service.
Fitzhugh Lee Creedon, twenty two
years old, told Of being summoned to
Erwin BergdolPs home at Bromall, near
here, and invited to accompany him or
a trip to the South. The next morning,
April "a or 25. 1919, he said, he went
to Mrs. Bergdoll's home in this city,
and, together with Romig, a former
magistrate, who acted as adviser to
the family, he went in an automobile
to Hagerstown, Md, with both Grover
and Erwin.
Braun, the brother, who changed his
name because OIL Lne HoLOrleCy Drought
on the family by the escapades Of his
younger brothers, was with Erwin and
him the night before they left. accord
ing to the witness. They suggested
that he go South with Erwin and that
the latter start chicken farm, Creedon
said.

the Bergdolls for several years and
had gone on several trips with them
before they were called for military
service.
Other witnesses were called by the
government TO show that Erwin and
Grover had been properly inducted
into the service, had failed to report
for duty and subsequently were listed
as deserters trtA the United States
Army.
Erwin is now serving q sentence in
Fort Lcavenworth, while Grovcr, who
escaped while on a trip to this city
under guard from Governors Island, is
a fugitive.
Erwin is expected to be brought into

have left Fort Leavenworth Saturday,
under armed guard. Mrs. Bergdoll
awaited his appearance in vain to-day.
She was in excellent spirits, and said
jubilantly that Erwin's visit would
save her a Western trip.

responded to keep the flames from
spreading. The damage is estimated
at $150,O0O.
Firemen in the engine house next

sent in an alarm. AS soon as they
opened the shutters of the building
flames leaped out and it was seen that
