That Stacker Was Offered
freedom for 100000.

Washington, Feb 3.-The escape
to Germany of Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, wealthy convicted draft
dodger, got into house discussion
today.
Chairman Kahn Of the military

thorough and sweeping" investiga-
tion of the allegation, reported to
have been made by Bergdoll in
Germany, that he had been offered
his freedom if he would ''come
across" to some American officers
with a bride of 100000.
Representative Johnson, Repub-
lican, South Dakota, said he was
lin hearty sympathy with the plan
to investigate Bergdolls charges
and escape. Declaring Germany
had imprisoned two American SER
geants, perhaps q little over
Jealous" in their desire to capture
a Stacker, Mr.. Johnson declared
that the German government at
the same time was asking the SYM
pathy of the American people re-
garding the payment of indemnity.
Germany is in no position to
ask our sympathy. in view of what
has taken place." he added, land
wouldn't get any If I had my way"
Denying charge by Representa-
tive Kahn that he had blocked the
resolution to investigate Bergdoll's
escape, Representative Blanton,
Democrat, Texas, demanded appre:-
hension of Bergdoll and imprison-
ment "of any army officials respon-
sibie for his escape"

Miss Martha Miller, as the aunt

Miss Martha Miller. as the aunt
who always uses the right word in
the wrong place and Jess Golfer as
Bob Acres, country pumpkin In love
with Lydia Languish, are two Of
the principal laugh producers in
1.-THE Rivals" This play is being
put on In the local high school aud.
itorium tomorrow evening by the
Golfer Miller players Of Chicago
and the proceeds will 60 to the
blanket fund of the Rock Island
club.
THE Rivals Is one Of the best
comedies ever written in the Eng
lish language. 1t is in three acts
and was written by Richard Brins-
ley Sheridan. The er-Miller
Players have given It throughout
the country and everywhere it has
achieved great success.
In the first act Mrs. Malapror
(who always uses the right word
in the wrong place. acquaints the
audience with the. problem of the
play. Her niece, Lydia Languish
lis hopelessly in love with "Rever-
ly," an unknown ensign. Mrs
lMalaprop wishes her niece to marry
a man of her own choosing, ). Captain
Jack, Absolute. Lydia, however. is
true to Beverly" and refuses to
think of marrying anyone else.
Bob Acres, another lover d
Lydia, realizing that she does moi
love him, challenges his unknown
rival to duel. He does not know
that Beverly" is none other than
his friend, Jack Absolute. When
Lydia discovers that her lover is
the same man that her aunt wishes
her to marry she becomes stubborn
and refuses to have anything tC
do with him.
In the last scene, however. she
becomes reconciled and relents
much to the relief of poor BOZ
Acres, who has gone through the
agony OF anticipating the duel.
The 18th century costumes the
players wear also adds charm tc
the comedy. All of the actors wear
old fashioned garbs and large flow
ing skirts, and knee breeches are
much in evidence.
