tell the truth"
Bergdoll wanted some more money
while he was serving prison term
in Fort jay as a dcserter from the
army. so ne was permitted to 20
get IL.
This was the only explanation
offered today by Il. c. Harris. ad
jutant general OF the army, as 10
why Bergdoll was allowed to leave
prison In search OF n pot of gold"
which he had told officials he had
buried In the mountains.
The adjutant general told the
committee he really knew very lit
tie about Bergdoll "as so many
thousands OF cases OF draft evaders"
were handled. lie did know. how
ever, he said. that Bergdoll and his
attorneys were extremely confident
that he would be freed on technical

knew Bcrgdoll was wealthy and was
using his wealth to evadc arrest.
Did it occur to you when he

he needed some more money" Har-
ris replied.

want II to bribe WITH Johnson

. II knew very little OF the Berg
doll case at that time" Harris said.
Harris stated that this was his
first experience with an escaped
prisoner and that he was not familiar
with all the agencies such as the
military intelligence, which he might
have called on.
IL developed that ono Of Bcrgdolrs
counsel was Harry Weinbcrger. who.
Il was stated, had been counsel for
Emma Goldman, and other soviet
deportoes.
Harris received letter from
Weinberger shortly before Borgdolrs
escape, asking for permission for
Borgdoll to remain at Fort Jay, ~
Y, pending an appeal in Bergdoll's
behalf.

AMERICAN LABORERS
DECLARE AGAINST
REVOLUTIONISTS
(ey The Associates Press).

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Sev-
erance of all relationship with the
International Federation of Trade
Unions was practically decided on
today by the American Federation
of Labor's executive council, but
final action on the matter was with
held until tomorrow.
The declaration of the American
Federation on the proposed separ-
alton as considered by the eXecu
tive council is understood to assert
that American labor cannot remain
affiliated with the European organ
izations because of its revolution
ary activities, and because it had
failed to recognize the national au-
tonomy of each trade union center.
The system of dues of the interna-
tional also is declared to place an
excessive burden upon the Ameri
can federation.
The council in it's discussions to-
day is understood to have agreed
that the federation cannot be
brought under the domination of an
organization that advocates the use
of revolutionary violence.

ONE CABINET VACANCY
(Rv The Associated Press.)

MARION, Ohio March 2.-Speeded
by a parting testimonial of affection
from the people of their home town,
President elect and Mrs. Harding left
for Washington tonight to take uD
their duties at the white house. In
the leave taking there were many
colorful touches of regret and Mr..
Hardings final words to his friends
and neighbors voiced a solemn reai-
,zation of the trials that will beset his
pathway But he added that he faced
the Journey confidently with an unfal-
tering faith in the sympathy of his
fellow citizens and providence of Cod
The farewell message of the presi-
dent-elect was delivered from the now
famous front porch of his residence
here to a conclave of several thousand
who had gathered to extend a formal
farewell AS he spoke his voice trem-
bled with emotion and Mrs. Harding
standing by his side, looked out on the
assemblage of familiar faces through
eyes dimmed by tears.
The special train carrying the next
president and first lady of the land,
departed at 1880 o'clock and will reach
the capital at 1880 tomorrow after
noon. Contrary to expectations. the
president elect began his trip to
Washington with one cabinet selection
still to be definitely announced. Yes
terday he indicated that the remain
ing vacancy in his official family, the
secretaryship of labor. would be closed
finally before tonight. There was no
explanation for the
change in plan, but the impression
gained ground that important develop
ments had interviewed
Similarly, the delay was interpreted
as casting increasing doubt on the
chances of James ]. Davis, of Penn
sylvania, to sit in the cabinet. A vir-
tual decision to appoint him to the
la Dor portfolio was said by those close
to the president ELECT to have been
reached during the conferences at St.
but the friends of the 9th

a last minute cancellation of the selec
tiazS now appears easily possible.

CORONER'S JURY
CLEARS ALCORN
Renders Verdict of 'Unavoid-
able Accident" in Tuesdays
Seaplane Tragedy.

Unavoidable accident" was the
verdict of the coroner's jury that IN
vestigated the killing of four colored
people hit by a seaplane driven by
Ensign John Walker Alcorn, u S. NJ,
(T), near Muscogee wharf on Tues
day.
Fourteen witnesses were summoned,
including Miss Genevieve Schuler, the
young lady who was reported to have
riden with the airman just previous
to the accident.
The testimony of all the witnesses
was practically the same, varying only
iIre mirror details, It was about evenly,
divided whether they believed he had
trouble with his motor. The. testi-
mony summed up was that Ensign
AIcorn flew to the beach just east OF
Muscogee wharf about 1880 Tuesday,
noon, and was met by a man and
woman. The woman got in the plane
and for 25 or 80 minutes was in the
air with the ensign, while the man
waited on or near the wharf till their
return. She then left the plane and
started west down the beach and thei
birdman once more went on his flight.
After circling out over the bay and
city near the beach several times. En-
sign Alcorn circled around a kite, the
string of which caught in the tail of
his plane It was here that some of
the witnesses testified that he seemed
to be having trouble with his motor.
and that he was apparently heading
for the bay
The left wing Of the plane seemed to
be much lower than the right and he
seemed to be having trouble in turn
ing the machine to the water 1t was
then that he struck the people on the
beach.
The trend of the testimony of the
witnesses was that the ensign was
doing stunts, apparently for the
amusement of the spectators, many Of
whom were out to see him.
Among the witnesses at the inauest
was Miss Schuler, who testified that
she had just previous to the accident |
been flying with Ensign Alcorn, but |
had alighted from the plane Miss
Schuler said she had gotten the op-
portunity to go up in the plane through |
a friend of Ensign Alcorn Mr. Hart. |
and that she had met the ensign about /
a month ago for the first time She |
stated that this was her first trip in /
a plane.
The inquest was held by Coroner
w L. Johnson and the jury was com
posed of the following members: Err
rest McVoy, E. A. Clubbs, Frank Hat
ton, W. V. Cole, NJ. A. Durant Tom V.
Hannah.
A naval court of inquiry was held
at the Naval Air station yesterday,
but did not finish its work, and will
be in session again today.

ALLIES DISCUSS
GERMAN ANSWER
Says Proposal Does Not Merit
Either Examination or
Consideration.
(ey The Associated Press)

LONDON, March 2. - After the
meeting of the allies today a state
ment was issued from the conference
embodying a summary of the German
proposal and comment thereon. THE
plan prepared by the allies at Paris
for the payment of reparations," says
this statement, relieves Germany OF
substantial proportion of the amount
payable by her under the treaty OF
Versailles"
Then follows a summary of the Ger
man proposal. and the statement says:
This proposal does not merit either
examination or discussion. To dem
onstrate it's true character it is suffi-
cient to note the following;
First, the German government as
sumo they are at liberty to calculate
the present value of the fixed annui-
ties on an s per cent basis. This table
is applicable in the Paris plan only
TO discounts of fixed annuities made
in the first two years.
Second. the German government
ignores the value of the variable an
nuities provided for in the Paris plan.
the amount of which depends upon
the value of German exports.
Third. the annuities payable under
the Paris plan are in addition to
whatever sums may be found to have
been paid on account of reparations.
Fourth, the German government
assesses at $4,000, 900 900 the value of
deliveries made by them on account of
various obligations imposed upon
them by the treaty. The reparation
assesses their value at less
hn tn
be credited to the German government
in respect to these deliveries in the
reparation account will be found to be
very small.
Fifth, the German government uses
an s per cent table for the purpose of
arriving at the amount due from them:
they propose at the same time that the
interest upon their debt shall be linn
tied to per cent.
sixth, the German government pro-
poses that their securities shall be re-
lieved of taxation in the country of
issue. thus burdening the country of
issue with part of their liabilities.
Seventh, on the assumption that
the amount which Germany will pay
during the first five years will be
! ,500,000,000 pounds and that the whole
obligation will be discharged in 80
years, the amount she will have to pay
for the 25 years following that period
to provide for the interest on the
sinking fund of her whole debt will be
3, 900, 100000 pounds year. The pres
ent value of German payments on this
will amount at the outside
TO somewhere about $4,000, 600, 600
pounds. 1t is only necessary to COM
pare this sum with the various pay
ments made under the Paris plan to
expose the entire inadequacy of the
German proposals."
