Washington, May 10, - Diplomatic
moves for the return of Grover Cleve.
land Bergdoll, Philadelphia draft evad-
er, from Germany are still in progress
Major General Peyton c. March, chief
of staff, of the army today informed
the house committee investigating the
Bergdoll caste. The steps taken could
not be discussed, General March said,
adding that the military movements
ended with the armstice and Bergdoll
could not be brought back by that
means.
General March was asked if Brig.
Gen. Henry r. Allen commanding at
Coblen2, had been censured Tor apol-
ogizing to German authorities for the
attempt to kdnap Bergdoll
He was not" he replied. THE ac-
ton Of General Allen was entirely cor
rect from the standpoint Of interna-
tional law"
The chief of staff added that it
would have been perfectly satisfactory
to him if anybody had succeeded in
bringing Bergdoll back TO prison He
described Bergdoll as a bad speci-
men whom the government was anx.
ous to catch.
Chairman Peters brought out that
while the Bcrgdoll expedition was to
have proceeded directly from New York
to Hagerstown, Md. by way of Phila-
delphia, the military authorities were
notified that Bergdoll had been per
mitted to stop over at Philadelphia

c.ARTER-NANCE.LA SALE WELL
NEAR ADA FLOWING 40 BARRELS

The Carter -Nance-La Sale well
in section 32, js.5e near Ada, is pro-
ducing 40 barrels daily with some
caving in the hole. All doubts as TO
the productivity Of the well have
been removed and there is no doubt
that il will become good small pro-
aucer. The 6-inch casing was set at
n depth of 1855 feet. When oil was
first noticed. the driller reported
that he had reached the top of the
pay sand at 1850 feet. The 5-inch
easing was then run TO the bot
tom and the hole cleaned. A steel
line was run and il was found thar
The bottom was not 1850 but lI55
feet. Ii was also discovered that
the sand had been cased off. The
casing was then pulled 30 feaet
which appears to have been too
high, for some caving resulted, but
the well commenced flowing 30 bar
rels through the caving. The thick
ness Of the sand is not known as il
lies somewhere between 1925 and
1855 feet.
The gravity Of the oil found IN
this well is 3S. and contains % per
cent of gasoline.

responsible for the stop-over and the
1irst word received from Gibboney re-
garding the change in the plan was
the announcement that the prisoner
was missing
"Ansell was the guiding spirit in this
litigation, was he not?" was asked.
Not exactly that. AIr. Ansell was
elected because OF his familiarity
with military law. Ansell had confi-
dence in Gbboney and none of US had
reason to doubt his standing"
Since Ansen had confidence in Glib
honey and General Harris had conf
dence in Ansell. wasn't the result one
of the misplaced conSdence?'
Il think myself there had been mis-
placed confidence or at least poor
judgment" Bailey replied.
If i,boney had not been sure of
Bergdolls acquittal, then he was the
most consummate actor | ever saw.
Mr.. Bailey said he had no under
standing with Gibboney as to who
should control the gold, il found OF
where it should be deposited.
Mr.. Bailey denied that he had been
subpoenaed by the federal grand jury
of Philadelphia.
We've been investigated and nee
essarily feel badly about the whole
thing" he said, but | have never
hesitated to testify and am not afraid
of any grand jury. l have done
nothing that I am ashamed of, and
know the truth will prevail"
Representative Johnson, Democrat
Kentucky, questioned Mir. Bailey about
two contracts between his firm and
the Bergdoll family which We're signed
The first, Mr.. Bailey said. would
have fixed the maximum his firm
could have received at s61 900 HI
said Mr.. Ansell would submit Letters
to throw light on failure to sign con
| tracts.
The chief of staff said his frs
knowledge of Bergdoll's desire 10 bt
liberated under guard to recover golC
was when Major General Harris, adju
| tant general, brought him a letter iron
| Samuel II. Ansell, former acting judg,
advocate general, making the reques
as counsel for Bergdoll. He had asket
General Harris if he thought the ex
petition proper and received an al
firmative answer, General March said
and Bergdolls name next came to hi
attention when the escape was re
ported.
The department made continuous ef
forts to capture Bergdoll, Genera
March said, adding
THE efforts of those men in Gel
many to land him by any means hav
our entire and utmost sympathy"
The committee went into executiv
session to discuss the German phas
of the Bergdoll case with Genert
