MORE WOE PILES UP
FOR MRS. BERGDOLL
Sued for $4,000 by Lawyer as
New Trial Is Requested
in Federal Court
CONGRESS PROBE IS ASKED

While Judge Dickinson, in the United
States District Court. was hearing
motion for new trial for Mrs. Emma
C. Bergdoll and her four CO. defendants
today. the mother of the wealthy draft
dodgers appeared in Common Pleas
Court as defendant in suit by Henry
J. Scott to recover $4,000 in coun-
sells fees.
At the same time. in Washington.
Representative Thomas L.. Blanton, of
Texas. attacked Julius III. Kahn, chair
man Of the House military affairs com
mittee. and Philip =. Campbell. Of the
rules commission, for failure to order
an investigation Of the Bergdoll case.
Argument heard by Judge Dickinson
for a new trial for Mrs. Bcrgdoll and
the others convicted of conspiracy to
obstruct recruiting, to hinder the draft
and conspiracy to aid desertcrs. was
presented by Theodore l.. Bean. of Nor
ristown. who was vigorously opposed by
United states Attorney McAvby and his
assistant, 4. Henry Walnut.
Mrs. BergdolI Absent
Three of Mrs. Bergdoll's co defend
ants. james II. Romig. Arthur 8.
Mitchell and Charles Braun, were
present. Mrs. Bergdoll and Harry
Schuh were absent.
Mr.. Bean based his reasons for new
trial on the contention that Grover
Bergdoll and his brother. Erwin. never
were properly inducted into the mill
tary service. because they were not
given ten days notice TO report. and
that their induction cards were rub
bcr stamped" instead of signed by the
udjutant general.
Judge Dickinson reserved decision.
In his suit TO recover $1,000 coun-
sci fees for services in 1918. Mr..
Scott, before Judge Barratt in Common
Pleas Court No. 2, contended he had
served as Mrs. Bergdoll's counsel in
July. 1918. when Mrs. Bergdoll's pri-
vate and legal papers were seized and
when it appeared her real estate would
be confiscated because of her pro Ger =
man tendencies.
Fee Called Reasonable
Former Mayor John Weaver, William
! A. Gray. William ii. Wilson, former
director of public safety; Thomas j.
Meagher and other prominent attorneys
testified that $4,000 was not an cxor
bitant amount for the services rendered
| by Mr.. Scott.
Mrs. BcrGdoll will take the stand in
her own defense this afternoon. She
will contend that an agreement was
made between herself and Mr.. Scott
whereby he was to receive only $1,000.

the other light canton crepe.
A sleeveless sport coat Of brown
velOurS is bound on all edges with a
bright shade Of blue leather.
a midsummer cape suit shows
skirt and cape Of white flannel striped
in green. The cape is lined in green
crepe de chine. this same material he
ing used for the long Slip-Ovcr blouse
worn over the skirt.
A smart sport skirt Of wool striped
in vivid shades is fringed at the hot
tom and fastens all the way down the
left side with buttons and loops. There
is n single huge pocket placed very
low at the right side. The wide sash
is weighted with wool fringe on the
ends.
JabOts of laces or organizes are
worn with every strictly tailored suit.
Very chic the red leather hat worn
with the white flannel sport suit. Red
crepe de chine lines the short flaring
jacket, the oval shaped panel on front
of the skirt is also worked in a red
Stitchery.
What lovely bathing accessories are
seen in the New York shops Have
you already seen the charming Sepa-
rate girdles made entirely of rubber
flowers? They are really exquisite
and would transform the plainest suit
into a thing of beauty. They are love
ly in color and as well made as the
evening cOrdelieres.
To carry at the SeashOre, the lead
ing houses show huge Chinese para
sds painted in exotic colOrs and
bOasting exceedingly long handles.
They are pretty and must be very
practical, affording a real protection
for the woman who doesn't swim a.
much as she parades up and down the

Have you seen the new checked oil
Bingham bathing suits? They are
adorable. The skirt is made of mar
row panels that tie on as an apron
over the trousers. The blouse has a
smart sailor collar, turn-up cuffs and
buttons of black OilclOth. The cap

question refers TO the bright red shade

Pillar box is correct volunteers a

The term pillar box red" is said to
have been coined by an American silk

Paris, which are not the vermilion red

country.
