Had Refused to Testify Before
Committee of House of
Representatives.
WITNESS ACTION ENDS
CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS
Announced That He Is Now Will.
ing to Answer Any Ques-
tiOns Asked.
(1y The Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON. MayA 1S.-Facing trial
by the house of representatives on five
separate charges, of contempt for re-
fusing to testify before one of it's COM
mittees, Harry Weinberger, of New York,
one time counsel for Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll. the Stacker, turned about sud-
denly today and announced that he had
decided to answer any questions asked
This action on the part of the witness
ended contempt proceedings but COM
mittee members said his testimony was
relatively of no value whatever in the
task of trying to fix the responsibility
for Bergdolrs escape.
First challenging the right of the COM
mittee to investigate the escape of a
man not actually inducted into the army,
Weinberger launched into a long state
ment, ending with flat refusal to say
what the BergdoIps had paid him, what
and what he had written the late D.
Clarence Gibbony, chief counsel for. the
draft evader.
Later in the day when he decided to
answer questions, he testified that he
got $1,000 in fees and paid none of it to
other lawyers. He knew. nothing, he
said, about the buried gold, for the re-
covery of which Bergdoll had been re-
leased under guard The lawyer ex-
planned that he had decided to answer
after learning that Mrs. Emma C. Berg
doll, mother of the draft dodger, had told
the committee how much the proceedings
had cost.
Mrs. Bergdoll under sentence for aid
ing her sons to evade the draft, was
summoned to appear again tomorrow be-
cause of her failure to produce check
book records and other documents she
had agreed last week to submit.

and anyone is more than paid for the little effort
it takes. In the first place the skin should be
kept scrupulously clean. Use a good cleansing
cream Uiska cold cream l have found to be
the best, follow this by bathing the face with
warm water, then rinse with cold water and dry
thoroughly with a coarse towel. After this
process select beautiher which in addition to
being beautfer has a healing effect on the
skin. The very best have found for this
purpose is derwillo, as it instantly beauties

is wonderful for shiny nose, oily, dark, sallow
skin, freckles. tan, wrinkles and other facial
blemishes Just make this test: Put derwillo
on one side of your face, then look in your
mirror and compare it with the other side you
will need no further argument to convince you
that nothing beauties like derwillo. II imparts
