 Against Bergdoll

Washington, Aug. 1S--Samue1 T1l- den Ansell, former acting judge ad- vocate general of the army and of the prisoners legal counsel Colonel John F. Hunt and Colonel c. c. Cresson were charged with conspiracy in con- nection with the escape of Grover Cleveland BergdoI1, the draft evader, member of special investigating com nittee filed today with the House.
 Characterizing. Anser as "the mas ter mind" in the plan by which Berg doll was released from a military prison under guard to dig up a pot of gold the majority report recommend ed that he be disbarred from prac ctic- ing in the courts of the nation above whose safety and integrity he has placed gold.
 A minority report filed at the same time held however, that there was no testimony to support the charge that Ansel1, through whose efforts counsel the prisoner was released "conspired to effectuate his escape" or that his motive was improper.
 One Republican - Representative Luhring of Indiana-and two Demo crats, Johnson of Kentucky and Flood of Virginia signed the majority re- port The minority views were pre- sented by Chairman Peters, Maine and Representative McArthur, Ore gon, Republicans.

 Thrilling Raid
 OnBig Yacht

Cleveland, Aug. 1s-Captain Will jam l.. Curry, of Toronto, six other men and four women, were captured by police early today. in a thrilling raid on a large steam yacht, declared by the police to be used by one of the strongest whiskey rings running booze between the United States and Canada.
 Ninety-five cases of various kinds of wines and liquors were found aboard the yacht. which was seized at Whiskey Island, west of the Guy ahoga river.
 Captain Curry is believed to have been in command of the rum-runner Tranquillas which was captured at Rocky River, near here, June 30, with a cargo of Scotch whiskey aboard which was later divided by members of the police department at Lakewood, a Cleveland suburb. and caused resignations of Chief P. S. Christensen. together with IA of his men.
 The arrests followed a tip from Capt. Hans Hasen of the United States coast guard. that the yacht with a merry party aboard was acting suspiciously in the outer harbor late last night.
 Charges of violating federal profli- bition laws was placed against the men. The women will be held by the federal authorities pending an inves- tigatiOn-

State Witnesses F Fail
 To Appear; Jitney
 Cases 4 e Continued

Failure of the two state witnesses. the men who were sent out by the states attorneys office to ride the Walnut Beach jitneys. to show up at the Milford town court this morning caused another postponement to be made until 9:30> next Tuesday morn ing. These two witnesses, William Nolan and Louis Back, who failed to answer when called to the witness stand by Prosecutor Omar w. Platt. are believed to have ridden the buses. operating under the .'club plan" un- der the title of the Bridgeport Bus association, and to have rendered cash for their fare in order to, get evidence against the operators.
 Clermont Louis was the first of the nine jitneurs to be called this morn ing, and Platt read the warrant to him charging him with operating Q jHney bus contrary to the wording of the law. He pleaded not guilty after consultation with Attorney Rob ert J. Woodruff of New Haven, and W. F. D. Fitzpatrick of the Brid ge- port Bus association.
 The prosecution commenced it's case by placing Officer C. S. Douglas of the Milford Police department, on the stand. Douglas and Sergeant H. J. GaEbronner made all of the Il ar rests, two of the jitneymen having been apprehended twice. Douglas told of making the arrest and of the machine being operated under a com marker and certificate. He

World War Veterans Will Take Steps To
 Aid Ex-Service Men

The World War Veterans are out to do something really constructive to help the ex-service man in dis tress At netting held last night in Carpenters Hall. the present quar- ters of the organization, plans for raising funds were discussed and rat flied. The veterans want to lease a building to be used as a, club house and dormitory for ex-Service men who are without jobs and homes. The main purpose is to provide a place where such men can go and get a clean room for the night, and get under a shower bath, and then get a decent meal in the morning Hundreds of these former soldiers are now wandering around the city Tn a vain search fox work, many Of them are receiving two days em- ployment per week from the ener- gency employment fund, but it is not easy for a man to live these days on a little over s5 a week.
 The plan is to hold a two weeks drive for funds, beginning Monday day, for which the city authorities have already given their consent. CIifford Unger, secretary and treas urer of the local post, is in charge of the drive for money and has committee of members to work with him. The committee realizes that this is bad time to ask for funds from the public.

 T ax Increase
 In 10 Years

On the 1919 grand list of the states cities, towns and boroughs S38,7S9,- 714-17 in taxes was levied, an increase of approximately s25, 100000 from the s13,039, ,413.S7 levied in 1909, accord ing to figures available in the tax commissioners department And while the ten years increase was nearly double the total tax of 1909, the 1909 figure was doubled in 1917 when the total taxes levied aggre gated s26,4S0, ,907.59.
 The total 1918 taxes levied by the cities, towns and boroughs was S29,- 913e65.69, which shows that while the increase between 1909 and 1917 was S130OO,Oo0 the increase in taxes levied on the 1918 and 1919 grand lists was nearly s10,O0O,0oo in one year. Figures for the 1920 taxes are not yet available, but it is believed that these will be in proportion to the 1919 figures because there has been no decided movement for a re- duction in the tax rate throughout the state.
 The unprecedented increase of nearly s1O,OO0,O0o in taxes in one year, between 1918 and 1919, was caused by war prices, high building costs and the general increases in the wages of school teachers, according to the tax officials The increase from 1909 to 1917 was gradual one, it was said, but the 191s-19 increase was unavoidable because of unpre- cedented conditions.

Claim New Evidence For
 Burch Case

Los Angeles, Aug. 1s-Investigators for the prosecution of Mrs. Madalynne jointly indicted in connection with the staying August of J. Belton Kennedy, broker, were viewing with interest today the published state ment of Ralph R. Obencha1n, d1vorc- ed husband of the young woman de- fendant, that he had uncovered evil dence that probably would jail an other man within five days and re- suit in the freeing of both prison CTS.
 They declined to comment
 The activity of the defense was fur ther manifested late yesterday, it was learned, when an expected witness for Mrs. Oberchain arrived here from Honolulu, in answer to cablegram from Mrs. Obenchain. The woman is Mrs. Frank Demond, Mrs. Oben- chains friend, who, it is said, was with her up to a few days before the staying of the broker.

could not remember on cross exarni- nation, whether any other signs were conspicuously exposed saying that the vehicle was for members only.
 At this point Platt called for the two desired witnesses who were not forthcoming. Chief of Police Maher made a hurried trip to get in touch with the States attorneys office in New Haven, and Judge Robert I. Munger, Ansonia, hearing the cases in place of Judge Jervis D. Brown of the Milford Town court, disqualified in this case because of having repre- sented jitneurs in other actions, de- clared a five minute recess, hoping that the prosecution and defense could agree on some sort of proceedings which would not necessitate a continu- ance.
 This was not possible of accom- p1ishment, because the defense does not wish to show it's hand until forced to by anything the state may pro- duce against the busmen. After the recess a general discussion between the judge and counsel, resulted in the postponement until next Tuesday morning after Woodruff had suggest ed that the cases be noI1ed, and new arrests made later ,inasmuch as he leaves Saturday for a trip of 10 days.
 Platt stated that delay of that length would not do, inasmuch as (Continued on Page Six.)

 Deadlock On U.S.Dernand

Berlin, Aug. 1S-German-Anleric peace negotiations for a separate treaty were reported today to have reached a deadlock over the American demand that Germany must recognize for the World War.
 Chancellor Wirth is consulting with leaders of the various political fac tions, and if no satisfactory solution is reached the Wirth cabinet may re- sign, opening the way for creation of a Nationalist ministry.
 The Wirth government is the sub ject of attacks from all quarters. not only on account of the American peace treaty, but because of the necessary tax burden it is imposing on the coun- try and because of the threatened loss of Upper Si1eSia-
 Chancellor Wirth and his advisers are trying to find a way to side step the war responsibility clause of the proposed American treaty, but so lar they have not found a. way to do so.
 Washington, Aug. 18.-There are no serious obstacles in the way of the informal negotiations for a peace treaty with Germany, which are now being carried on in Berlin by Amer ican Commissioner DreSel, the state Department announced today.
 Officials refused to confirm or deny Berlin reports that Germany is refus- ing to accept responsibility for the war. but expressed confidence that the negotiations would proceed sat- is factorily.

Rum Pouring Into Country

 The liquors are entering through American ports for consignees in other countries, in very large volume, according to reports to the Treasury today. The liquor shipments are made possible by the Treasury's ac- ton in lifting the ban upon so-caIled intransit liquors" Secretary Mellon directed collectors of customs today, not to interfere with the entry of liquor supplies at customs houses, when the liquor is being shipped by foreign concerns to other foreign destinations.

F Forty-One Liquor Cars
 To Be Auctioned Aug. 30

New Haven, Aug. IS - F'orty-one motor cars, seized by the Federal au- thorities while used for transporting liquor in violation of the prohibition law, will be sold to the highest bid der at auction here on Tuesday, Aug. 10:30 o'clock at the storehouse of the Smed1ey Company. 456 Chapel street, this city. The auction is of more than usual interest, as it will be the first public sale of automobiles Seiz- ed because they were being used for rum running purposes.
 Although the Volstead act had been on the statute books for some time, it was not until the early part of the present year that any decision was given by a United States judge which might indicate just what ac- ton could be taken toward cars used by liquor runners. And that first decision came in this state.
 Booze Cars Held.
 Booze cars had been held by the prohibition enforcemene officers and local authorities in various parts of the state. Finally Assistant United States Attorney Cohen decided to press the matter in a test case in or der to secure the opinion being await ed everywhere.
 This case was that of the United States against Sylvester. MT. Cohen argued the case for the United States. During the trial it was shown that Sylvester did not own the car out right, and had but small equity in it, a trust company having a lien on the machine. When it was proposed pany protested and demanded that it either receive the machine or com penSatlon equivalent to it's lien

An investigation has been started locally in the belief that a temporary branch of the Camorra existed in Bridgeport that was credited with the violent deaths of at least five men. A member of the Detective Bureau is in New York today attending the hearings of seven Camorrists under arrest and will confer with Captain Michael FTachettf, of the New York Italian squad, who is handling the cases.
 The murders in Bridgeport that may be added to the charges against the men under arrest include those of Vito LaMonica on March 29, 1920; "Bosco," a candy butcher, and his suspected assai1ant in 1918, and an Italian on North Main street and Scarafina, his suspected slayer, in 1916. In each of the double mur- der cases. the second man met his death. through fear of others that he would be arrested and divulge in- formation concerning activities of the gang.
 The similarity of the names of two of the murdered men with other vic tims in New York and Detroit further strengthens the belief of the police that the New York gangsters were involved.
 La Monica is said to have deserted his wife in New York ten years prior to his death. A Mrs. Joseph La Monica of 142 Cherry street, Man haitian, has charged Anthony Calbone. also of Manhattan, with the murder of her husband on Aug. 6. It is be- heved tat La Monica and the sec ond husband of his deserted wife both lost their lives because of the anim osity of the gang of so-called Good Killers to Mrs. La Monica.
 An Italian character known to the police as "Bosco,'' also met his death here, and Pietro Bosco and Joseph Bosco are two of the victims of the gang in Detroit.
 Each of the local killings were branded by the police as gang mur- ders," committed to insure the safety of other members of the gang. Three or more assailants were implicated in each case, and each were traced as far as New York. Circumstances sur rounding the local cases bear such a similarity to the workings of the Ca- morrists that the police are certain the connections between the two are more than theoretical.
 Vito La Monica, who met his death on March 29, 1920, was shot down on his front porch at 656 Beachmont avenue when he answered a knock
