.BERCDOLL,S MOTHER
MUST PAY fine OR
SERVE YEAR IN JAIL

Philadelphia, May 17.-Mrs. Emma
c. Bergdoll was sentenced today to pay
a fine Of $1,000 for the part she was
convicted Of having taken in the eva
sion of the draft law by her sons.
Grover and Erwin Bergdoll. If she
refuses or fails to pay the fine, Judge
Dickinson of the United States dis
trict court, who pronounced the sem
tence of one year and one day in the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga.
Her fine must be paid by June 13.
The same fine, with the same alter
native. was imposed upon two of her
co-defendants in the conspiracy case.
One was her son, Charles f. Braun,
who changed his name after his two
brothers achieved notoriety, and the
other her lifelong friend and coun-
sellor, James L. Romig. The two
other defendants, Albert Mitchell and
Harry Schulz, were fined $1,000 each,
with the alternative of spending six
months in the county jail at Trenton,
n. J.
Counsel for the defendants immedi-
ately filed an appeal from the SEN
tence. This action, the clerk of the
court explained. was to stay execution
of the sentence, as otherwise the de-
PENDANTS would have been sent to Jail
Immediately.
Judge Dickinson in pron0unoing
sentence upon Mrs. Bergdoll declared
there was no way of ascertaining how
much of her guilt was the act "of
fond and foolish mother,'' and while
htr motive did not affect her guilt, it
might mitigate the punishment. Her
heavist pu: ishment, he added. would
be the thought her sons had brought
disgrace upon her.
No one would wish to see a mother
sent to Jail for merely helping her
sons, guilty as they are he said.
In sentencing Romig, who is 10
years old, the judge said his only
claim to leniency was his age. He
censured Romig in blunt terms
Braun's motives, Judge Dickinson
said, had perhaps been the best of
any of the defendants and he did not
consider it just to punish him more
severely than the others. He pointed
out that the jury had recommended
mercy in the case of Mitchell and
Schulz.
AS she walked out of the courtroom
Mrs. Bergdoll said:
Never will l pay fine. Perhaps
1 shall go to Jail Maybe I'll be bet
ter off So
The five defendants were released
in $4,000 bail each, pending an appeal.

Of naval policy virtually won their
fight today for Incorporation in the
$500,0o0, 900 naval appropriations bill Of
the Borah amendment requesting the
president to cal naval disarmament
conference of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan.
Sen. Poindexter, Republican, Wash
ington, in charge of the naval bill and
other administration leaders sudden
ly and unexpectedly came to the sup
port of the amendment and leaders
generally joined in predictions of
adoption of the disarmament proposal.
Although Sen. Poindexter and other
Republican leaders said they had not
heard further from President Hard
ing regarding his attitude toward the
Borah proposal there were reports
that both by telephone and letter, the
president had been in communica-
ton with Republican leaders.
NAL statement to the press, Sen. Poin-
dexter announceds his intention to
vote for the Borah amendment and
also to withhold parliamentary
point of order against it which would
have required a two-thirds vote for
its adoption After this announce

to vote as they desired on the Borah
proposal. Sen. Lodge of Massachu-
sets, Republican leader, said that he
would vote for the amendment and
that he expected general Republican
support for it. The change in the ST
tuation occasioned considerable sur
prise and, to Senator ,Borah much
qualifications
After conference with the presi-
dent. Sen. Poindoxter announced re-
Gently that he preferred not to has
the amendment adopted. while Sen.
Hale, Republican. Maine. who accom- =
panied Sen. PondeXter, also had said
that he understood the president re-
garded it as "unnecessarv."
Despite the present developments in
the disarmament controversy no pro-

again spoke at length in criticism of
the appropriation program. but to-
morrow it was expected that the SEN
ate would get down to disposition Of
many amendments proposed by the
naval committee. The virtual agree
ment on the disarmament provision.
it was said, would not affect the fight
for and against the committee in
creases over the measure as passed
by the House aggregating about
500, 100000.

Is Alcohol Booze
If It's Denatured?
Lewiston Test Case

Lewiston, Me-, May ia test case
to determine whether denatured al
cohol, even though plainly labelled
poison, can be classified as liquor was
brought in the Lewiston municipal
court this morning when Napoleon
Beuregard of Lewiston pleaded not
guilty to charges of illegal possession
and nuisance, waived hearing and
furnished 1000 bonds.
The police claim that the sale Of
denatured alcohol has grown to such
proportions that it constitutes vio-
lation of the prohibitory law even
though each bottle is labelled poison.
This is believed to be the first test
case of the kind in the United States.
