BERCDOLL MUST Be
RETURNED To j. s.
To FACE A TRIAL
CONFERENCE THIS WEEK TO
MAKE DEMAND ON GER
MANY EFFECTIVE
CANNOT AFFORD
TO LET HIM BE
Would Have Bad Effect on Drive to
Bring 100000 Evaders to
Justice

United Press stan COrresDOndent
Washington, March 24-Secretary
of State Hughes and Secretary of
War Weeks will hold several confer
einces in the next few days on steps
to make effectual the demand of the
United States that Germany surren-
der Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, veal
thy Philadelphia draft dodger, and
reease the men imprisoned in Ger
many for trying to capture him.
While neither Hughes nor Weeks
would discuss the action of this gov
ernment today, it was learned from
other officials that the war depart
ment will leave "no stone untuIaed"
to secure Bergdoll. 1t was pointed
out that campaign to catch more
than 100000 draft evaders is Just be-
ing launched and that authorities. can
not afford to let the defiance of a rich
man go unchallenged while apprehen-
ding those of less means.
Think Germany Will Surrender Him.
The belief prevailed that Germany
finally will surrender Bergdoll but
that the Berlin government is hesi-
tating to take such action because of
the popular Outcry that would follow
This government, however, will press
its demands, it was stated.
War department officials today
were awaiting a complete report on
the Bergdoll case and the attempt to
capture him from General Henry AL
len, commander of the American ar
my of occupation.
This report may give some new
facts about the attempt of Carl Neuf
and Frank thinner to take the draft
evader.

CARDINAL GIBBONS

FINAL ILLNESS

(By United Press,

Baltimore, Mar. 24-James
Cardinal Gibbons, second cardinal
of the Catholic church in Ameri-
ca, and archbishop of the diocese
of Baltimore, died here today at
1888. The final stage of tMf
cardinals illness began on last
Sunday, and since that time there
has been little hope that the high
dignitary could manifest the re-
markable recuperative powers
which he showed several months
ago.
A company of iminent 4divines were
about his bed when the end came.
The first evidence of the failure of the
cardinals strength came in Novem-
Der when he was seized with momen-
tary faintness while delivering a SER
mon in Harve de Grace.
Was Eighty-Sven Years Old
Cardinal Gibbons was born in Bal
timore in 1884. At an early age he
was taken by his parents to their
former home in Ireland, where he be-
gan his education. He returned to
the United States and resided with
his family in New Orleans in 1848.
He entered st. Charles College, Mary
land in 1855 and in 1857 was trans
ferred to st, Mary's seminary, Balti-
more and was ordained priest in
1861. After being assistant at st.
Patrick's in Baltimore for few
months he was made pastor of St.
Bridget's canton and later private
secretary to Archbishop Spalding and
chancellor of the arch-dioces. He was
invested with princely insignia in
1886.

8 LEAN SOCIAL
YEARS BEHIND
Uniforms Being Slicked Up and All
Old Schedules of Functions to

(By United Press.D

Washington, March "a Brillian
uniforms and evening dress/ compar-
atively little used here during the
Woodrow Wilson regime, are being
slicked up in anticipation of the re-
sumption OF the colorful social whirl
under the present administration.
Official Washington has passed
through eight lean social years and is
hungry.
The absence of the gayety that
characterized past administrations
was attributed to the war, Wilson's
illness and the Wilson personality.
White House functions were compar-
.atively few in number during the first
four Wilson years and they were rare
events indeed during the last four
years. The aloofness of the White
House was effected to a certain ex-
tent by the various foreign legations,
which maintained a measure of gay
ETY. until the war split the colony into
two groups.
Signing of the peace pact by the
various European governments invol-
we'd in the war revived the social life
of the embassies, but the Indifferent
attitude of the White House, always
regarded as the social leader, served
as a check to a return to the pre-
Wilson splendor,

White House and dances by the youn-

Sprightly Roosevelt children, gay func-
tions crowded the evenings at the en-
bassies, where representatives Of all
resplendent in gorgeous uni
forms, fairly bristling with medals
and other decorations, gave an air of

age upon being examined upon arri-
val was found to contain only the

1t was believed that the money had
been taken from the package while
en- transit. This theory was explod-
ed last night before the committee by
Special Agent Burns, of the Ameri-
can Railway Express Company, who
said the seals on the package con-
tanning the watch were unbroken up
on arrival. This was taken to mean
that the money had never left the po-
lice station. 1t is the belief of the
members of the committee that some
one connected with the r-5Tice depart
ment appropriated Gne money for
himself.

been accepted and Ehat protection was
openly given to pickpockets and con-

Fvinging Russia back to production,
believing this to be one essential step
in restoring economic stability.
Advice of business men who are
anxious to get in on the ground floor
once more in Russia is beginning to
reach President Harding and flood
of correspondence is coming to the
white house on the subject. Much of
this advice favors opening up free
trade relations.
Against this position is the view Of
Hoover who believes it is useless to
attempt to trade with Russia as long
as the bolsheviks are in control.
Whether a direct answer to the So
Wet appeal for trade resumption will
be made by Harding is still uncertain
but it is expected that either by direct
reply or by formal statement from
the white house OF the state depart
ment, the attitude of this administra-
tion will be made public.
Urged to Use Caution.
Harding, however, is being caution
ed against grabbing tea quickly at the
bait now being dangled before him
and it is probable that results of cam
fidential inquiries now being made the
state department through its intelli-
gence service abroad will be studied
before any move is made
here.
Russian trade is the first big Eu-
ropean problem to force itself to
President Harding's attention and he
is holding frequent conferences with
Secretary of State Hughes as he
works at it. Hughes was at the
white house yesterday.

He said he Immediately reported
the matter. to Lieutenant of Detec-
tives W. B. Cahoou, who told him to
agree to the proposition as the first
step in the plan laid to catch the
"fixer" and the crooks. He said he
took the money and the trap was
sprung, four pickpockets being ta-
ken into custody.
Cahoon, in his testimony on the
previous night, also told the commit
tee this occurrence. The money which
had been paid over to the patrolman,

stance was to be paid in weekly in
stallments. A total of $40 was paid
over before .thN four crooks were ta-
ken.
Little by little it is coming to the
ears 'of the investigating committee
that there is a systematic collection
of graft in Jacksonville. 1t is a known
fact that certain members of the de-
partment receive money from "ixers"
to allow gangs of confidence men to
operate in Jacksonville. Anyone who
has ever been connected with the po-
lice department in a large city has
but to walk down the streets of Jack
