HEARINGS
ON RAILROAD AID
Chairman Clark, of |. C. c.,
Bans Cross-Examination of
Official Until Later.

Chairman Clark's decision not to
allow cross-eXaminations until rail-
road officials have concluded their
testimony served today to speed up
the hearings of arguments on the
carriers petition for rate increases
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Protracted delays, through
lengthy questioning OF carriers rep
resentatives by lawyers for various
shippers. caused the, commission to
decide that the hearings must be ex-
pedited.
Besides sidetracking long cross-eI-
aminations, the commission also has
decided to eliminate from the formal
arguments, as far as possible, dupli-
cations In the presentation of facts
by various rail officials. This is due
to the fact that data of general
character Is applicable alike to situa-
tions in all of the carrier groups and
requires no detailed argument Com
missioner Clark stated today that
counsel for shippers will have ample
opportunity later to question officials
OF the roads.
With the arguments of the eastern
carriers in official classlficati ton terri
tory already submitted. and the south
ern carriers now in the midst of their
arguments. there was prospect that
the western group might be reached
and concluded before the end of the
week.
In addition to the executives OF the
roads the chief operating officials in
the various departments are being
heard in detailed arguments, to sup
port the demands for higher rates
needed to produce enough revenue TO
place the roads on paying basis.
Clark said today that immediately
after the submission of all the car
rier's briefs. the commission will at
once hear evidence Of n general char
acter applicable TO all OF the rail ter
ritories, In opposition ia the proposal
Of the oarriers.The hearings will con-
tinuo at least two weeks longer.

PALMER WASHES HANDS
OF BERCDOLL'S ESCAPE

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, convict
ed draft-evader. who escaped, from
military guards. has nothing to fear
from the Department OF Justice.
Attorney General Pslmers office
passed the buck" to the War De-
partment again today, on the ques-
tion of responsibility for Bergdolls
smooth getaway to hunt for alleged
hidden gold.
I'VE have no further interest Of
ficially in the case, as 1t is outside
the Departments jurisdiction" it was
said with a degree of finality.
Attorney General Palmer's connec->
ton with the Bergdoll pilot" ceased
when no effort was made to release
him under habeas corpus, it was said.
Spokesman for the Attorney Cen
eral said they are holding tight to a
letter written by a lieutenant of the
military intelligence office. disclos-
ing the alleged plot" They main
tanned that it was not the duty OF the
Department OF Justice to acquaint the
adjuant general of the army. assum-
ing this already had been done.
Early capture OF Bergdoll was pre-
dicted today by Samuel T. Ansell and
Edward S. Bailey, Bergdolls local
counsel, who increased their reward
for his apprehension to $500.

Georgia. -
The Cox-Edwards men have be-
sought Kenyon and Reed to ask OF
these men IL they did not hear Baruch
make his talk at Atlantic City and to
ask the witnesses also:
How much did Treasurer Marsh
and Assistant Treasurer Jameson
collect for the Wilson Third Term
McAdoo Crown Prince Fund under
the guise of an appeal for $4,000, 900
TO finance the national cci mittce for
1920?
why was 1t that the White House
group withheld from certain Demo-
cratic Senators list of half mill
lion Democratic voters, to whom ap-
peals for funds were made"
How much of the Jameson fund
was spent by Chairman Cummings
and his cronies in their transconti-
mental tour year ago TO cultivate
sentiment to make Woodrow Wilson
the President OF the League of Ma
ttons and McAdoo President?
was there ever an accounting for
these expenditures?
why have Democratic National
committeeman opposed to Wilson and
McAdoo been refused all information
as 10 collections and disbursements"
The Washington times., 1920-05-27

The managers also urged that prac-
tically every member of the Demo
cratic national executive committee
be summoned ito testify before the
Senate committee which Is inquiring
into Presidential campaign expenses.
At the Inquiry the following colo
guy took place:
you've found some active symp-
toms of a campaign for w. G. McAdoo
as a candidate against Mr.. Palmer"
Chairman Kenyon asked.
"It has all the earmarks, though
I've seen that Mr.. Baruch said he
wasn't candidate" c. c. Carlin,
manager of the Palmer campaign, re-
piled. Somebody got the votes out
for Mr.. McAdoo in Michigan. 1t
doesn't seem to have any headduar-
ters or tailquarters, though we have
the literature"
Messages were sent TO Chairman
william S. Kenyon and Senator'S
Borah and Reed after conferences
here between Walker w. Wick, ma
tional campaign manager for Ed
wards; William f. McCombs, who Is
working hard for Cox, and National
Committeema Hudspeth, of New Jer-
sey, an ardent Edwards man.
Wick, who listened to Baruch's tes-
timony before the Kenyon committee
and witnessed his renewed intimacy
with DR.. Grayson, President Wilson's
physician, was so amazed that he was
speechless when asked to comment
upon that testimony yesterday.
But the Cox Edwards machinery
was put in motion to urge:
First, that Baruch be specifically
asked n he did not make this OFFER
in the Hotel st. Charles, Atlantic City,
on September 81, last, to Chairman
Cummings and his associate members
OF the Democratic national executive
committee:
"If you will drop Palmer and back
McAdoo for President, / will guar
antee to underwrite the McAdoo cam
paign for any amount from ten mil
lions upward"
Second, that Baruch be asked IL he
has not ever since been conducting a
McAdoo campaign, using the name
and of6ce Of Deputy Police Commis-
sioner Wallis, at III Broadway, as a
means and clearing house for personal
and written demands for campaign
contributions.
Questions TO Committeeman.
The Cox-Edwards managers have
also demanded that these Democratic
national committeeman be sub
poenaed:
Marsh, Of Iowa, treasurer: Norman
r. Mack. of New York; Fred y. Lynch.

over fifteen Thousand were secured.
While the larger number were secured
in Multnomah county, yet several thou
sand have come in from various coun-
ties in different parts of the state
The first bill which was originally
drawn was objected to by some of the
residents of Harvey county because it
was likely to interfere with the pro-
posed irrigation project on the head
waters of the Silvies river At a con-
ference in Portland at which both
sides were represented the bill was
changed SO that it is now satisfactory,
both to the irrigationists and to those
who are interested in the protection ol
wild birds and in saving Malheur lake,
as the greatest wild bird refuge in the
country, eXponents of the plan claim.
That the present bill has the hearty
Endorsement of the people of Burns is
