SLACKER'S MOTHER
 SAYS SHE DID NOT
 BUYLIBERTY BONDS
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Not one dollar of the s105, 900 gold obtained from the treasury was put in a pot for burial in the mountains, Mrs. Emma c. Bergdoll of Philadelphia testified today before a house com mittee Investigating the escape of Grover c. Bergdoll, her stacker son.
 Again picking up the trail of the treasure, the committee found it and then lost it. for Mrs. Bergdoll frankly declared that she had buried it some where around Philadelphia, that no body else knew the spot, and that il was just where she placed it nearly two years ago. The draft dodgers mother was positive in the statement she never took 1t to Hagerstown 1 Md. where it was supposed to be.
 Mrs. Bergdoll declared that doc ' tors, lawyers and others had cost her upwards of s30.000 since her sons es- cape.
 1 Answering an appeal for help. Mrs. BergdoT declared that less than a week ago she had sent Grover. who l is in Germany, s10.000.
 What is Growers intention about staying in Germany" John H. Sher- burne. counsel Tor the committee. asked. and Mrs. Bergdol1's eyes | sparkled.
 AS soon as the armistice Is signed he is coming home" and the laughter infuriated her.
 Well, there are thousands of other
 slackers, and they never mention anybodys boy but mine" she cried.
 "There are plenty of them in Phila- ldelphia-nearer home than Ger many"
 Asked how much Grover was worth. Mrs. Bergdoll made mental
 calculation and answered. Half . million"
 There was some questioning as tc
 whether he owned any Liberty bonds and on her answer in the negative. a member said:
 Do you own any?"
 Yes, but I didn't buy any. I got a couple of fifties the other day in a trade for a house."
 Tn giving a detailed account of tw' . trips to Washington for the gold and returning with it to Philadelphfa while James F. Romig. former police
 ma agistrate, drove the car, Mrs. Berg doll denied that she was acting foi her son.
 Tt was mine to do with as pleased" she said. Nobody can fin,

 word about any buried treasure unti after the escape, and that the late ? D. Clarence Gibbony, her attorney had told her that her son had bee, | let out 10 pay her a friendly visit
 None of her money. Mrs. Bergdo testified. was turned over to Grove for use in getting out of the country ! Mrs. BergdoH was called afte Romig, her confidential adviser. whC z like the mother. is awaiting sentenc | for conspiracy to aid BergdoI evading the draft, had been pu

 KRAMER FAvORS. BETTER LAW TO. .CHECK|LLEGAL LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, May 13.-A Seri ous problem confronts federal prohi- bition enforcement officials in the prevention of sales of alcohol. osten- sibly for medicinal and industrial purposes, which later are diverted in to illicit channels, Prohibition Com missioner Kramer told the house ju- dietary committee today. The com missioner appearing at the commit tees request to discuss the new Vol stead anti-beer bill, declared that federal agents have established something like good control over the Illegal whiskey traffic but that the new task was rapidly developing into one of magnitude.
 Mir. Kramer said the law which MT Nolstead has proposed to supplement his first dry code goes to the source of the evils" and makes positive and definite the powers of federal off 1 ciaIs on enforcement work. The rul- ing of former Attorney Genera | Palmer permitting prescription o1 l beer as a medicine had upset the bu reaus policy with respect to beer, Mir ] Kramer said, adding that the ruling i had opened the stable door for some ] body to steal the horse"
 "The Palmer opinion seems to ! cover everything" the prohibition chief continued, "even we are beine pressed by doctors and others for oul authority for limiting permits ant prescription blanks. We need legis- lation. for We are being pressed tC tell what right we have to fix any limitation
 Mir. Kramer proposed Legislation | which would cut off imports anC manufacturing of whiskey entirely fol a time so that consumption would catch up with production. He urged that exports to Canada and Mexico should be stopped, for 'all. that goe' over the border lines finds it's wal back in some fashion or other"
 Questioned on home brew, MT. Kra
 mer laughingly said that the novelt.
 had begun to wear off and that tn
 number of home brewers was grad
 ually diminishing.

Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, May 13-General Pershing will become chief of the general staff and the actual head of the army, July l, Secretary Weeks announced today. On that date he will relieve Major General Peyton C. Marsh, the present chief of staff.
 In addition to his new duties, Gen. Pershing will remain head of the general headquarters or war staff of the army, a post recently created for him. He will have as an assistant chief of the general staff his old friend and chief of staff in France, Major General James G. Harbord, who will relieve Major General William NJ. Wright.
 General Pershing will be relieved of all administrative and detail da- ties by Gerenal Harbord and will be free to direct the large aspects of the military establishment, partic- ularly the organization and training of the national guard and the organ ized reserves.
 In announcing his decision, Secre- tary Weeks made 1t plain that Gen, Pershing will be the real military head of the army. He said that the general would be relieved of admins tration work by General Harbord and would be charged with the organiza- ton and training of all the elements of the army of the United States, in cluding the national guard and or ganized reserve.
 General Harbord. Mir. Weeks said win haze much broader powers thar | those formerly exercised by the as l sistant chief of staff.
 1 The plan contemplates that in tim' of active military operation, Genera l Pershing would automatically as
 sume active direction of operation l in the field. General Harbord woul'
 similarly move up to the post ot
 chief of staff and take over direction | of the war department general staff

Air Mail Service Officials Scoff
 Eversole Charge
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WIre1

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 13- Emphatic denials were made here to- day by high officials of the postof- flee department and the air mail service of the charges reported made before an Investigating committee in Chicago that there was inefficiency, negligence and drunkenness at the air mail fields.
 Charges against the air mail off cials, according to Chicago dispatch es, were made by pilot C. c. Eversole and P. G. Ricket, d mechanic, for merly members of the force at the air mail field near here. Major H. c. Noll, national superintendent of mail, who was in Minneapolis today on an inspection trip, said he had heard nothing of the Chicago investiga tion until he had read of it in the news papers.
 '"The charges which thees men are reported to have made are ridiculous and without foundation said Major Voll. "The rules of the air mail serv- ice do not permit pilots to make trips in machines that are unsafe"
