TO RUSH
COAL TO NORTHWEST
ON PRIORITY ORDERS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Operators
of bituminous mines in western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee must
provide winter stock of coal for the
northwest before filling orders for
other sections.
Acting under new emergency orders
issued yesterday by the interstate
commerce commission the railroads
serving mines in the states named not
only will give priority in the move
ment of coal to the northwest but will
give preference in the supply of cars
for such shipments as well. The car
riers also were directed to place an
embargo on shipments to any other
section should such shipments be Of
fered by the operators.
Rushes Shipments.
Under the orders the railroads will
bend every effort to get 23,000.000 tons
of coal, the estimated northwest's re-
quirement to Lake ports before the
closing of navigation due to ice. To
do this 1t was estimated more than
1000 cars must be dumped daily at
Lake Erie ports before Nov. 1.
The order likewise Is expected to
avert the threatened coal shortage in
central Canada, much Of the supply of
which Is moved through lake ports
Necessity for the order, which merely
amends previous orders issued since
the coal shortage crisis became acute,
was urged upon the commission by a
committee named at the recent con-
ference of operators and railway exec
utives and is in line with the plan
worked out at the conference.

YOUNGER BERCD0Ll
GIVES HIMSELF up
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 21.-Erwin Berg
doll, half brother of Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, who disappeared from his
Philadelphia home about two years ago
and since has been sought on charges
of draft evasion, today surrendered at
Governor Island. With him when he
surrendered was Judge Roemig, of
Philadelphia, personal friend of the
Bergdoll family who himself is under
indictment. Bergdoll, who surrendered
to trial judge advocate Mayor William
8. Kelly, was Immediately imprisoned
in Castle William. He was accom-
panied by his half brother, Charles
Braun when the trio entered the
Judge advocates office.
Judge Roemig said: I'VE have Err
win Bergdoll desirious to surrender"
He was Immediately taken to prison.
The surrender of Erwin Bergdoll
was not a surprise to federal officials
here. They had been expecting it for
some months.
He disappeared in May, 1918. after
failing to answer call for war serv-
Bergdoll had fled.
The effort to capture the notorious
draft evaders has been unremitting.
The search has led to Mexico, Canada
and every section of the United
States.
The career of Erwin has been al
most as sensational as that of Grover.
He was the most noted of the four
Bergdoll brothers as a motor car rae
er, brea king a record in the 2O0-mile
Fairmount Park race.
Like Grover, he was a terror to mo-
torists and pedestrians and the su.
burban roads around Philadelphia
Communities protested and he paid
many heavy fines for "scorching."
Erwin is 80 years old. His wife
died last year while he was a fugitive
Mrs. Bergdoll said today she is
heartily glad he has surrendered. She
hopes Grover will do likewise, she
said.

HARDING May

LEAGUE PACT
Speech of Acceptance Ex-

Issue on Foreign Policy of
Wilson.
MAY DETAIL THE PLANS
fBy Associated Press)

MARION, Ohio, July Ex-senator
.1aidlngs speech of acceptance, to be
oenVered here tomorrow, is expected
Dy MS close associates to give prom.
lnence to the foreign policy Of Presi.
dent Wilson and the League of Ma
tlons In such way as to advance the
campaign toward a squarely joined is
sue between the two political parties.
Those who know the mind of the
presidential nominee declared their
confidence today that he would make
declaration squaring with the party
PLATFORM and the party record and
bridging successfully the Republican
d1fference Of opinion which threatened
a split at Chicago.
Will Oppose Wilson.
The exact form of the declaration
was not revealed, but 1t was said au-
thoratively that 1t would follow the
trend of the senator's recent state
ments on the subject and would be
particular militant in it's opposition
to the Wilson policies, to which the
Republican nominee regards the Demo-
cratic party and candidates as pledged
unreservedly.
In addition to declaring unthinkable
the acceptance of the league as Presi.
dent Wilson fashioned it, however, the
senator is expected to express in di-
rect terms his belief that America
should not remain isolated and to
take the position that the wars sacri-
fees will prove in vain unless there
is established new order with added
security to peace and civilization.
Details Lacking.
1t is a subject for speculation how
far he will detail this position, or to
what extent he will clothe with prac-
tical suggestions the declaration of
the Chicago platform for an Internal
ional peace tribunal
1t is regarded as unlikely that the
nominee will enter into a detailed
discussion of the league covenant, or
will speak effectively of reservations
or interpretations.
He is expected rather to hold his
utterances to the broad principles in
volved, hinging his argument to a
plea for American rather than world
ideals. He is believed to be certain
to couple with this a declaration that
the failure of the United States to
adopt Mr.. Wilson's league will not be
construed abroad as an evasion of
duty, but will be, Interpreted as arising
from devotion to the Integrity of the
nation.

PROHIBITION PARTY
DIVIDED ON BRYAN
FOR PARTY LEADER
(By Associated Press)

LINCOLN, NEB., July 21.-The Pro
hibition party opened it's thirteenth
annual convention here today prepar-
ed to give over much of the three days
of day and night sessions to jubilation
over the downfall Of John Barleycorn.
To this end several celebrations have
been arranged and a dozen or more
orators have prepared speeches felici-
tating the party on its fight against
liquor and condemning the Republican
and Democratic conventions for lack
of definite action on the question.
Indications were that such matters
as nominees and platform planks will
give way for at least two days to the
jubilee.
The opening session, however, found
the delegates apparently facing the
peculiar situation Of being almost
unanimously in favor Of William Jen-
nings Bryan as their presidential nom-
inee and yet being divided as to
whether the convention should name
the Nebraskan as it's leader in the
full election.
Becomes Big Question.
The Bryan boom which has had
innumerable ups and downs In the
past 48 hours as various information
was received concerning Mr.. Bryan's
attitude on the nomination, today had
become the foremost question before
the delegates and one which many say
may result in floor fight.
Mr.. Bryan's friends here, who claim
to be speaking for him, firmly reiter-
ate previous statements that he will
not accept the nomination, will not
run on any ticket and feels that the
party should not name any candidates.
confining its activities instead to local
campaigns.
Oppose Nomination.
Groups of delegates yesterday had
planned to try to have Bryan nominal
ed unanimously regardless of his own
views. A series of night conferences
by other delegates resulted and today
there Is a definite movement to pre-
vent Mr.. Bryan's nomination on the
ground that he should not be placed
in an embarrassing position, although
the delegates working against his nom-
ination declare they personally favor
it If he will accept. Nominations are
not scheduled until Friday.
The convention was called to order
by Virgil G. Hinshaw, national COM
mittee chairman. Aaron s. Watkins,
Of Germantown, o., was made temper
ary chairman and delivered the key
note address. Committees on creden-
tials, organization. rules and resolu.
tions were appointed and at the after.
noon session 1t was planned to hear
their reports.
