BERGDOLL FOUND
HIDING AT HOME
Long Hunt Brought to Close
Brother Still Away.

Philadelphia, Jan. T. Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, wealthy son of
a former brewer, and charged with
being draft dodger and deserter
from the army, was captured today
while hiding in the palatial residence
of his mother on the outskirts of this
city. Tonight he is a prisoner on
Governors Island, in New York har-
Dor, awaiting trial by courtmartial.
The capture of Beredoll, whose
brother, Erwin, widely known auto
mobile racer, is still missing, also
charged with lodging the draft, was
as sensational as has been his career
in the last five years. More than
dozen federal and city officers partici-
pated in the raid on the Bergdoll
home. Resistance was offered by the
mother, Mrs. Emma Bergdol, who
threatened to shoot the officers and
was disarn1ed only after struggle.
She was held in $4,000 bail on
charges of assault and battery with
intent to kill and conspiracy to pre-
vent the execution Of search and
arrest warrants. Bail was furnished
by her son-in-law.
Grover Bergdolf disappeared in Au-
gust, 1917, and search for him as an
alleged draft dodger was made all
over the United States and Mexico.
Several times federal agents searched
the three residences maintained by
the Bergdoll's in this vicinity.
Mrs. Bergdoll threatened death to
any officer who entered her home
when they appeared at the mansion
today, federal agents said. Strategy
was used and the front and rear en-
frances were forced at the same time.
It was at the rear that the mother
struggled with the police and was dis
armed. A search of the house re-
vealed Grover hiding in a window
box seat on the second floor of the
home.
After preliminary hearing at the
federal building Bergdoll was taken
TO New York under heavy guard. Be-
fore leaving he said he had roamed
all over the United States and had re-
turned home only few days ago.

Curiously enough, Ida and Ada
are practically synonymous, accord
ing to etymologists. Certainly the
names were used INTERCHANGEABLE.
In early times, Ada was thought to
be an entirely separate entity and
was believed TO be derived from
Adah, meaning ornament, and the
name Adah was given to the wife OF
Lamech in the old Testament. But
later chronological authorities be-
lieve that Ada is merely a Latinized
form OF Fad, meaning happy or
rich, and the same as the German
Ida.
Ida originates from Frau Uote.
mother of Kriemhild, who interpret
ed her dream and predicted the
death Of her bridegroom, Ortwin
Of Metz. A number of feminine
names came from Uote or Uta. and
finally the name Audur was en-
volved. Audur was a viking daugh-
ter one of the first Icelandic set
tiers. In England. under Norman
rule, there appeared Auda and Aida,
the latter the wife Of Orlando the
Paladin Another Aida was a queen
nous bearer of the name was a
daughter of the house of Este in
1893. High German called the name
Oda, but low German made II Fad,
and from this latter Ide and Idette
were evolved, both OF which be-
came enormously popular.
Ida was the name given to the
granddaughter of King stephen,
who became the Countess of Bou-
