With PERJURY

For Defense in Counter

Immediately after a jury in the L. S.
district court yesterday returned a
verdict of guilty against William A.
Jerrigan, of Laurel HILL charged with

MOTHER OF DRAFT DODGER POSITIVE
GOLD WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAGERSTOWN
BUT WAS BURIED NEAR PHIL ADELP PHIA
Spot Where She Placed
Two Years Ago-Didnt Regard Judge Westcott
One of Growers Counsel

At the same time she testified, however,
she did not regard the judge as one of
Growers counsel, who, with doctors and
others had cost her upwards of 100000
since his escape.
Answering an appeal for help, Mrs.
Bergdoll declared that less than week
ago she had sent Grover, who is in Ger
many, $4,000.
What is Growers intentions about
staying in Germany" John H. Sher-
burne. counsel for the committee, asked
and Mrs. -Bergdoll eyes sparkled.,
LAS soon as the armistice is signed, he
is coming home," and the laughter in
furiated her.
In giving a detailed account of two
trips to Washington for the gold, and
returning with it to Philadelphia while
James E. Romig, former police magis-
trate, drove the car, Mrs. Bergdoll de-
MED that she was acting for her son,
that she had seen any lawyers at Wash
ington. or that she intended burying it
in Maryland.
.It was mine to do with as pleased -
she said. Nobody can find it, and
Grover didn't get any of it--not a
nickel"
The woman's testimony was not par
ticularly enlightening to the committee
except on the point that the gold with
drawal was not for her sons account.

ROAD IS SOLD AT
PUBLIC AUCTION
Bid in By Harold B. Thorne of
Guaranty Trust Co.
for 100000.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
NOT YET MADE KNOWN
May Be Connected Up With One
of the Bigger Lines of
the Country. -.

Judge William B. Sheppard of the
U. S. district court has confirmed the
sale of the Gulf, Florida & Alabama
railroad to Harold B. Thorne, an Off
Ger of the Guaranty Trust company, of
New York. The railroad was sold at
public auction by George Earl Hoff-
man, special master, and the bid of
Mr.. Thorne was 100000. Of this
amount the sum of $4,000 has been
paid to Mr.. Hoffman and the success
full bidder is directed to pay the re-
mainder of the bid within 20 days.
The Gulf, Florida & Alabama rail-
road runs from Pensacola to Kim
brough, Ala, and taps a rich farming
territory as well as connecting with
the Southern railroad. 1t has been in
the hands of a receiver for many
months and the forced sale of the road
is the result of pressure brought. by
the bondholders and other creditors
for payment.
John T. Steele was named by Judge
Sheppard as receiver and he has con-
tinued to operate the road until the
present time with the same officials
that conducted its business prior to the
receivership.
Until recently, J. II. Fraser has been
general manager of the road. but he
has resigned and his place has been
filled by the appointment of r. C.
Greenaway as general manager. Mr..
Greenaway has been assistant man
ager and in the absence of Mr.. Fraser
for some months has acted as general
manager.
The future of the c., F. & A. is
somewhat hazy, but inasmuch as it
has been purchased by Mr.. Thorne and
is generally understood that it will
continue in operation and may be con-
nected up with some one of the bigger
lines of the country.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-General
Pershing, since the end of the war
nominally the head of the army but
actually without any important duties
or authority, will become chief of the
general staff and the actual head of
the army July. /, Secretary Weeks
announced today. On that date he
will relieve Maj.- Gen. Peyton C.
March, the present chief of staff.
In addition to his new duties Gen.
eral Pershing will remain head of the
general headquarters or war staff Of
the army. a post recently created fc Z
him. He will have as assistant chic.
of the general staff, his old friend and
chief of staff in France, Maj. Gen.
James q. Harbord, who will relieve
Maj.-Gen. William NJ. Wright, the
present executive assistant. Although
bearing the title of chief of staff and
having authority and supervision over
all function of the general staff, Cen
eral Pershing will be relieved of all
administrative and detail duty by Gem
eral Harbord who will assume the
routine of the office, leaving General
Pershing free to direct the larger as
poets of the military establishment,
particularly the organization and
training of national guard and organ
lied reserves. .
In announcing his decision. Secre-
tary Weeks made it plain that General
Pershing will be the real military head
Of the army from every point of view.
He said the general of the armies
would be relieved of administration
htr 4
be charged with the organization and
training of all the elements of the
army and the United States, including
the national guard and the organized
reserves. General Harbord, Mr.. Weeks
said. will have much broader powers
than those formerly exercised by the
assistant chief of staff.
Major General Harbord," the official
announcement said. "as assistant to
the chief of staff, will have supervision
over the administration activities of
the war department under the chief of
staff, handling such matters directly
with the department under the chief

ly with the secretary of war and leav-
ing General Pershing free to acauaint
himself with the various elements of
the national guard and organized re-
serves, which would form the larger
part of the army under his command,
If active operations should be under
taken before the date of his retire :
ment or detail to other duty"
The plan contemplates that in time
OF active military operations, General
Pershing would automatically assume
active direction OF operations in the
field. General Harbord would similarly
move up to the post OF chief of staff
and take over direction of the war de-
partment general staff. Secretary
Weeks has not decided on a detail for
Major General March after he leaves
the post OF chief of staff, which he
filled throughout the war. The secre-
iary has intimated that General March
will have his choice OF any post avail
able on July /.

ZIONIST CONGRESS
 HAS ITS PROBLEMS
 STILL ID BE SOLVED
By Associated Press

Carlsbad. Czheo- -Slavia, September 5.--As the debate in the Zion ist congress develops the political situation, it is apparent that t e modern central bloc is forming in an effort to preserve the equilib- rum between the Mizrachi or ultra orthodox faction and the socialists left The clerics have by far the largest solid delegation present, and it is said they are determined to resist the tendency to drift away from religious dominance of the na- tional home movement.
 In four languages the congress continued to discuss various prob lems confronting Zonism The de- bate took a wide range and the dis sension over the action of Judge Julian W. Mack and Justice Louis D. Brandeis continued to crop up The sharpest denuneiation in this re- spect came from Louis Lipsky of New York. The temper of the con gress was shown when Delegate Fisher of Holland declared himself friendly critic but asserted that the Zionist movement needed reor- ganization on more modern and eff cient lines. He was constantly in- terrupted, and the chair was com pelled to appeal for permission for him to continue.
 Report Is Discussed
 The report is being much dis cussed. It adversely criticises the British policy in Palestine, saying the Zionist problem is dominated by it's own merits but by considera- tions of military character. It asserts that the originally military viewpoint was unfavorable to giving any prominence to the national home policy and despite the change in the personnel of the British ad- ministration this had not changed and the opportunities for Jewish im- migration still were determined by military factions.
 The American zionists, he said. ''now enter upon new era which
