LEGION REGRETS
ACTION CONGRESS
Ex-SoIdiers Regret Governments
Apology to Germany for Attempt
ed Capture Of Traitor.
(By Associates Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Regret
that the American government saw ct
to apologize to the Berlin government
for the attempt of Americans to cap
ture Grover c. Bergdoll, wealthy
American draft evader, was expressed
in a resolution adopted today by the
executive committee Of the American
Legion in session here
The resolution, offered by Thomas
w. Miller of Delaware, and ordered
sent to members of congress, approved
the proposed congressional investiga-
ton of the circumstances surround
ing Bergdoll's escape from custody.
Efforts to put the legion on record
as opposing the nom partisan league
were made by members from Okla
homa and other states where the
league is active, but after consider
able debate various resolutions were
voted down and tabled. The commit
tee then voted unanimously to uphold
F. A. Galbraith, national commander
on his stand in advising state COM
manders of Kansas, Nebraska and Ok
lahoma. that the legion itself should
take no active part against the league
as an organization.
Correspondence with respect to the
partisan league question, which
began with an appeal from the Sa-
lima, Kan, post for support from the
national committee in a fight against
the league. was read.
Other appeals had followed from
western and southwestern posts, and
all were shown to have been given
the same answer by the commander.
Speakers urging the legion to go on.
record opposing the league declared
that its leaders were disloyaI and were
using the league to cloak seditious ac-
tvities. Opponents commended that
such action would be considered by
many farmers and other members of
the league, who themselves were loyal,
as indicating opposition of the legion
to the economic and political policies
of the league. All speakers agreed
that the legion should not oppose the
leagues status as a political party.
Announcement was made at today's
meeting that efforts would be made
to have the knights of Columbus re-
move certain conditions from their Of
fer to the legion of 100000 for con-
struction Of war memorial in Wash
ington. The committee last night
voted to refuse the offer unless made
Internationally.

ATTERBURY DENIES
REFUSAL TO CONFER
Says That Conferences Have Been
Held With Employees Represen-
tatives.
{By Associated Press,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. s.-W. w.
Atterbury, vice president of the Penn
sylvania railroad and chairman OF the
labor committee Of the American As
ISOLATION of Railway Executives. to-
night denied reports that the railroad
arrangements had refused to confer
with representatives of the employees
of the various companies involved. IN
a statement, he said:
"To be specific. we have conferred
and negotiated with organized repre-
sentatives Of the employees of the
Pennsylvania railroad. Other railroads
are doing the same.
For the railroads as a whole to
attempt to deal with the nationalized
organized leaders with view TO
agreeing upon wages and working
conditions to apply to all the railroads
is to attempt what experience has
shown to be wasteful and destructive.
Wages and working conditions cannot
fairly be the same on all railroads.
1--WE believe that there can be no
restoration of effective esprit de
corps, no re-establishment of econonl-
ical service to the railroads of this
country until each company is in a
position to negotiate directly with its
own men, to appeal to their loyalty
and by enlightened policies and fair
dealings to arouse enthusiastic effi@
cheney of it's own men,
TN our insistence that representa-
tives of employees confer with the of
ficers of their respective railroads,
rather than with the representatives
Of the railroads as a whole. we feel.
therefore, that we are standing for a
vital principle. 1t is not that we refuse
to meet with our employees It is that
we desire to meet with them"

suit Of the connection s,of Charles

Things had been done and al.
lowed" he testified. because Of
Mr.. Schwab's connection. which
probably would not be allowed
otherwise, and though l am salts
fed Mr.. Schwab knew personally
nothing Of them, the influence from
Mr.. Schwab's dual position was
prevalent.
Though at that time I had nev.

from my knowledge Of his record
that he would be the first to con
denim any injustice by his corpora.
ton towards the government, and
would willingly and gladly return
any money Improperly paid his cor

Former Administrator Fa
vors Expert Board to
Help Conditions.

Washington, Jan. 20-Appoint-
ment of a, national board of ex-
perts with regulatory powers to
improve marketing conditions was
suggested today by Herbert Hoov-
er. former federal food admins
TRAITOR in appearing before the
house agricultural committee,
which Is holding hearings on bills
to restrict speculation on grain and
cotton exchanges.
The board would operate under
the department of agriculture and
Mr.. Hoover said it could accom-
plish a great deal in improving the
trade processes through agreement
with the trades and by the estab-
lishment of standard practices"
One function of such a board,
for instance" he continued, would
be. to provide regulations which
would secure the extension of pub
lie warehouses in such a manner
that the farmer could store his
grain at any country elevator and
terminal and obtain such recog-
nized warehouse receipt as would
open to him new credit beyond his
abilities in loans against holding ii
on the FARMS"
Declaring that during the war
the food administration had elm
mated manipulation in the corn
market by voluntary agreement
with the exchanges without any
substantial interference with the
normal processes of the hedging
markets, Mr.. Hoover said he did
not believe the precise quantities
or method Of future trading should
be fixed by law, ..as all such at
tempts to control economic forces
must be tentative and based upon
experience gained"
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 20.(-United

Badger Of Eureka today introduced
a bill in the legislature to create

Quoted under the supervision 81

PEGGY MARSH
BECOMES BRIDE
OF AL JOHNSON
Former Chorus Girl
Marries Society
Man.

New York, Jan. :e.-Peggy
Marsh, dainty and talented actress,
whose friendship for the late Henry
Field made her p figure of interest
on two continents. is married.
Her husband since a semi-elope-
ment to Greenwich, Conn, on Jan.
5 last, is Albert L. johnson, popu-
lar society man and member of the
we'll known New York and Cleve-
land family.
With the announcement of the
interesting event came the. further
announcement that Mr.. johnson
and his pretty life will legally
adopt Anthony Marsh, 4-year-old
son Of Peggy Marsh and Henry
Field.
Coincident to this comes the an
nouncement that the claims of
Peggy Marsh's son to a share In
the great Field fortune have been
recognized by executors of the Chi
cago merchants estate.
Field Estate Claim.
Chicago, Jan. 20.-Peggy Marsh,
a former chorus girl, met Henry
Field, grandson of Marshall Field,
in London. After Henry Fields
death, in July, 1917, she instituted
suit in the superior court Of Cook
county for the constituting of the
Marshall Field will.
A formal claim for this latter
amount was filed later in 1919 in the
probate court against Henry Field s
estate. The claim was not contested
by the Field family, who let it be
known that they recognized Peggy
Marsh's son as the child of Henry
Field.
The suit to construe the will OF
Marshall Field so as to give to the
actresses son a share in his great
grandfather's, millions was ,unsuc-
cessful. But court decisions held
the child heir to the 81 ,0O0, 900 which
Henry Field left when he died in
testate.
The unsuccessful fight for a share
in the undivided principal of the
Marshall Field estate turned on a
single phrase in the will. Certain
contingencies were made by that in
| fstrument dependent on the testator's :
! grandchildren dying without law
full ISSUE" The attorney for the
Marsh interests, led by Edward F.
Dunno. former governor Of Illinois
contended vainly that q child born
out Of wedlocx might be q lawful
heir and that therefore Peggy
Marsh's son came within the mean
ing Of the will. The winning con-
ltenti0n by the Field estate attor.
neys was that the big Chicago
merchant had in mind the found
ing Of family line to perpetuate the
Field name and expand its interests
and thai only. legitimate children
could share in this purpose.

Says Democrats Must
Accept Prohibition
As Policy.

Miami, Fla, Jan. 20.-1 am not
now urging immediate reorganiza-
ton Of the Democratic party. Re-
organization IS impossible now ex-
cept as to officers Of the national
committee and the new officers
would, Of course, be in harmony
with the views Of the committeeman.
l am advising the selection Of pro-
gressive committeeman as the terms
of reactionary members expire. l
mean those who are in sympathy
with progressive sentiment.
Prohibition must be accepted as
the progressive policy Of the coun-
try. No one can be counted as pro-
gressive who is reactionary on the
liquor question. Progressives must
also oppose Wall street schemes for
the exploitation of the masses. Pol
icy as we'll as principle cOmlels our
party to oppose Wall street. The
Democratic party cannot hope to
compete with the Republican party
for the support Of the predatory In
terests.
If we win recruits it must be
from the progressive element OF the
Republican party. II the Democratic
party is not willing to champion the
interests of the plain people it has
no reason for existence. So long
as the leadership Of the party in the
senate. house and national commit

reactionary on any OF the great is
sues we cannot hope to have the
confidence Of the voters.
