BERGDOLL PROBE

Thomas l.. Blanton, OF Texas.
whose objection in the final hours
of the last session blocked a resolu-
tion calling for an investigation of
the escape of Grover Cleveland Berg
doll, notorious draft-evader of Phil
adelphia, yesterday introduced a
resolution in the House aiming at
just such an inquiry. He proposed
that the House Military Affairs Com
mittee conduct the investigation,
his resolution stating that they
could do II with very little expense
to the government, as none of the
members of said committee draw
any extra pay as committeeman.
such committee already having a
secretary and clerk paid for an

committee having access to the
service OF committee stenographers.

Pointing out that the Committee
On military affairs has made no in
vestigation whatever of the dis
graceful escape of this contemplate

thorizes the investigators to PRO
cure all facts relative to fixing re-
sponsibility for said escape and for

RAPS BLUE Law
ASMERCENARY
Advocators Seeking Sal
aries, Says Stanton Park
Association Orator.

combative measures to oppose
proposed blue law" legislation for
by the Lords Day Al
lance were offered by Frank W.
vedder at meeting OF the stanton
Park Citizens Association, in the
Peabody School Monday night.
vedder charged that khe organizs-
tion sponsoring blue law" legisla-
tion was actuated by mcrcsnary mo-
tives and he asked in a resolution
that members of the association
boycott churches that aid In the
campaign to close all Sunday
The whole purpose behind the
said vedder. "is to get
people into church, so that certain
salaries may be increased. 1 believe
that any secular body that Is forced
to appeal to the law for financial as
sistsnce Is in a bad way"
Vedder said he foresaw an increase
in crime, and stated he had been in
formed that motion picture theaters
would have to double their rates IL
a Sunday closing law went into ef-
feet.
Vedder's resolution was referred
to the associations committee on
legislation and will be reported upon
at the next meeting OF the associa-
tion on January 3.

do not feel II to be my privilege
at present to suggest the detailed
and particular methods b which
these objects may be obtained. but
! have faith that the Inquiries Of
our several committees will dis
cover the way and the method.
In response to what I believe to
be tho impulse of sympathy and
opinion throughout, the United
States. I earnestly suggest that the
Congress authorize the Treasury
OF the United States to make to
the struggling government OF Ar
menia such n loan as was made to
several OF the allied governments
during the war: and i would also
suggest that II would be desirable
to provide in the legislation itself
that the expenditure OF the money
thus loaned should be under the
supervision of commission, or at
least a commissioner, from the
United States. In order that revo-
lutionary tendencies within Arme-
mia itself might not be afforded
by the loan a further tempting
opportunity.
Would Free Philippines.
Allow me to call your attention
to the fact that the people Of the
Philippine Islands have succeeded
in maintaining Stable govern
ment since the last action of the
Congress in their behalf. and have
thus fulfilled the condition set by
the Congress as precedent to a
consideration OF granting inde-
pendence to the islands. ! re-
spectfully submit that this condl-
tion precedent having been full
filled, II Is now our liberty and
duty to kee pour promise to the
people OF those islands by grant

they SO honorably covet.
