 FOR DRAFT EVADER
Counsel for Grover Cleveland Berg doll, Elusive Stacker! Obtains
 Writ of HabeaS Corpus.

New York, March 1.-Counsel for Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, held for court-martial on Governors Island, charged with desertion from the army in evading the selective draft and, with his brother, the object oI a country wide search for two years, today obtained a writ of habeas cor pus in federal court, returnable Fri day His trial is scheduled to open Thursday when the medical board which has been examining Bergdoll for a month to determine his sanity will make its report.
 Bergdoll was arrested in his Phila- delphia home last January. AS soon as he was brought here his counsel pleaded insanity for him thus delaying the court-martial and automatically forcing governors Island authorities to appoint a medical board to hold him under observation flor such time as may be necessary to determine" his mental condition, according to the army court regulations.
 The writ is issued against Lieut.. Gen. Bullard, commander of the de- partment of the east and against the keeper of the disciplinary barracks at Fort Jay.
 The petition for the writ claimed that Bergdol1 is entitled to a civil and not military trial that he is un- justly detained at Governors Island; that his arrest and imprisonment were illegal and were reSorted to for the purpose of depriving the civil depart ment of the judicial power under the constitution and of depriving Bergdoll of fair and impartial trial. 5e'

TAX COLLECTORS
 WORK PRODUCTIVE
Immense Sums of Money Have Been Taken in Through Office

Tax Collector Bernadotte Loomis has interesting figures relative to the collections of taxes this year and in the years before and since he took the reins of that office. Not only last year. but in five of the six years that the present collector has been in office, has the amount of taxes col lccted been ahead of the tax book The collections this year already hay , exceeded the tax book requirements
 His report is:
 In April 1914, when MT. Loomis took the office of collector, the amount of uncollected taxes was S113 3,SS425, not including poll and military taxes. Today that has been reduced over one-half. or to S69,624 90. This has been accomplished in New Britain in spite of the general ten dency to slowly increase rather than decrease the unpaid taxes from year to year, as shown by the reports from other cities. as follows:
 April. 1914 April, 1919 Hartford ....s 72,475.56 $199,05955 New Haven 63,02S.14 5S9,051.S. Bridgeport 346,33619 637,S1929

 From the years 1908 to 1914 the collections in New Britain ran behind the rate books for each year, the total shortage being $49,011.67.
 Since 1914 collections ran ahead of the books every year but one. net gain over the books being $109,220.9S.
