MANY PAPERS
In BERCDOLL
CASE STOLEN
Thieves Enter Office of Rep.
Johnson, of Investigat-
ing Committee.
STRONG BOX is TAKEN
No Clue Has Been Obtained to
Persons Responsible
for Robbery.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Nearly
a thousand copies Of a house com
mittee report on the escape OF
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. the draft
dodger, and a big wooden box con-
tanning certain Bergdoll documents
together with many private letters
and papers were stolen Monday
night from the office Of Rep. John
son, democrat, Kentucky.
The theft of the reports, written
by Mr.. Johnson and printed at his
own expense was not discovered
until late Tuesday.
Entering the window Of the office
on the main floor Of the house Office
building and adjacent to the post
office, the thieves made no attempt
to steal articles Of pecuniary value
and the room was not ransacked.
The box, bigger than a steamer
trunk, was only partially filled with
papers and by shaking 1t around,
Mr. johnson said, the thieves easily
could have learned that it contained
nothing as heavy as a bottle Of
whiskey, a product which it was
said, robbers lately have sought in
the building.
It was dragged through the door,
the marks being plainly visible.
but capitol police, some of them
assigned to duty only a short dist
ance away during the night, declared
it could not have been taken from
the building without their knowl-
edge. They had failed tonight, how
ever, to locate it.
Discussing the robbery, Mr.. John
son said:
II have no hesitancy in saying
that the robbery was for the pur-
pose of securing certain particular
papers, as well as 10 have the OPP
portunity to look over other private
papers OF mine. Since l have been
asked the direct question, 1 will state
that the box contained some papers
connected with the recent Bergdoll
investigation besides very private
and important papers.
CAL circumstances point conclu-
sively to a desire for certain import
ant papers as the object Of the rob-
berry. The box, which was taken
contained nothing whatever of pc
cuniary value. while many articles
OF value were found lying in full
view.
Held Only Papers.
Moreover, it would have been
quite apparent once the box was
lifted that it contained nothing but
papers. It was only one third full
of them and anything heavy in il
would have been rolled around. The
circumstances also plainly indicate
that the person on the outside who
planned the robbery had one or
more confederates on the outside.
1.-THE manner in which the office
was entered and the box, as big as
trunk taken out shows that the
person who managed the robbery
had an intimate knowledge of the
lay out of the office and the build
ing itself
The majority report on BergdOll's
escape was prepared by Mr.. John
son and filed some weeks ago in the
house but no action on it was taken
Mr.. Johnson asked the Washing
ton police TO make a rigid investiga-
ton. They got a number Of excellent
finger prints.

SOUTH AMBOY, June 25:-It
cost Joseph Scheller. captain of the
coal barge Maine" just $25 for his
Sundays recreation. Said recreation,
according to employees of neighbor-
ing barges, consisted of a demon
stration of the pugilistic art with
his wife, Veronica Scheller, as his
sparring partner.
A series of cross jabs and upper
cuts were followed, according to
witnesses, by a solar plexus blow
that sent her Keeling into the cabin,
where she was locked the remainder
of the day without water. The vic
torious marine Georges Dempsey
then threw out his chest. strutted
around the deck, and announced to
his demonstrating neighbors that
the victim was MY wife, and I'll
beat her If I feel like it." .
Scheller was arrested. taken to
