Braun COMPLAINS T.
i OF NOTE SEIZURE
Grover BergdolFs Brother Tells
Congress Alien Property Gus
4 todian Was Unfair
CARROLL MAKES ANSWER

Charles A. Braun, brother of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, Stacker, has ad-
dressed an eighteen page printed
pamphlet to Congressman protesting
against the action Of the Alien Prop
erty Custodian in seizing a note against
his brother in law and sister, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Hall.
The pamphlet is entitled Protest
and Petition Of Charles A. Braun, n
Citizen of the United States, to the
Members Of Congress at Washington.
d. O., Against Certain Acts of the
Alien Property Custodian"
All Of which is very fine thing,
according to Vincent A. Carroll, Phila-
delphia representative OF Colonel Thomas
W. Miller, Alien Property Custodian.
For" said Mr.. Carroll. after read
glorious thing to have any member OF
the Bergdol family admit that there is
q Congress with power to govern and
laws that must be complied with by all
the citizens Of the country.
Cost at Least 500
This pamphlet cost at least S1.50
page, and since Mr.. Braun says he has
sent a COPY Of It to every member Of
Congress 1t has cost him at least SlOo
to admit such things are the fact.
But Mr.. Carroll says the charges
made BY Braun against the Alien Prop
erty Custodian are entirely false.
The gist Of the charges Is that Mrs.
Bergdoll held the Sl5 900 note against
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall. Mrs. Bergdoll as
signed the note to Braun on May Is,
1921. Then the Alien Property Gus
todian received information that Mrs.
Bergdoll had used Growers money in
making the loan. Mr.. Carroll there
upon seized the note, together with
other known property of Grover Berg
doll, on May 2, 1921, and in two or
three weeks succeeding.
Braun now charges that he has been
unable to collect the principal of the
note and that the Alien Property Gus
o todian will not collect the note and
afthat the Halls are being protected by
gh,he Government from payment of the
ingiote.
,.ar, Where Statement Fails
4 so All Of that is true, according to Mr..
ne Srroll-except that Braun does not
onglll the truth when he says that the
is not collecting the prin-
Thildpal Of the note.
onsi The money will be in the United
Hjtates Treasury within the next week,
to Mr.. Carroll, and it would
otlhave been there week ago If Braun
n had not filed suit against the Alien
y Property Custodian for possession OF
the note, which forestalled execution OF
the judgment against the Halls held
by Mr.. Carroll.
Braun prints in his pamphlets ex.
cerpts from four letters to Government
officials in 1917 and 1913 in when ne
offers, at cost. as head of the Blrdsooro
Stone Co, all the crushed stone pro-
duced by the company to be used by the
Government in construction work. he
makes point that he offered the stone
at cost and not at cost plus:
That is Braun's war record, as
reported by Braun to the Congress o.
the United States.
