CHARGE HUNT
WHITEWASHED
BY THE COURT
In Trial For Alleged Failure to
Take Precautions to Pre-
vent Slacker's Escape.
GIVEN GRILLING
BY REP. JOHNSON
Many of the Questions Asked
Colonel Hunt Were of a
Personal Nature.
(By The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The charge
that Col. John E. Hunt, former COM
mandant at the disciplinary barracks at
a courtmartial resulting from his alleged
failure to take proper precautions to
prevent the escape of Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll. Philadelphia draft dodger, was
made late today at the end of long ses-
sion of the house investigating commit
tee.
Called before the committee to tell
what precautions he had taken to safe
guard Bergdoll while a gold hunting
expedition to the Maryland mountains,
Col. Hunt had been on the stand for
nearly five hours when he was taken in
hand by Representative Johnson, demo-
crat, Kentucky, for a grilling cross eX-
animation.
Some of the questions put to the wit
ness were extremely blunt and of per-
sonal nature. Then, after asking for a
yes or no answer, as to whether he had
been given a fair trial and whether he
had been aggressively prosecuted, Mr..
Johnson proceeded to quote from the
courtmartial record certain statements
by the prosecuting officers directed at
the good standing of the accused.
rs that vigorous prosecuting
speech?" Mr.. Johnson asked. and Hunt
instantly replied that it was a plea for
his conviction, as he saw it. At this
juncture John H. Sherburne of Boston,
counsel far the committee interposed
that it was only fair to read from the
judge advocates address. course
the committee approved. s'It is my pur-
pose to show. although I may not have
the full cooperation Of counsel for this
committee" Mr.. Johnson declared, "that
the courtmartial record contains more
than suspicion that this witness was
whitewashed and that counsel partici-
pated only in a half-hearted prosecution.
And I think I will show more as 1 get
further into it,
Colonel Hunt recently recovered from
a long illness, took no part in the dis
cussion. In the course of his examina
tion he described plans for Bergdoll to
leave under military guard for Hagers-
town, Md, in search of the buried gold
and declared that no officer was avail
able at the time and that he had the
utmost confidence in Sergeant O'Hare,
who was directly responsible for the safe
return of the prisoner. Asked by Chair
man Peters if the escape was due to
his own fault or to the incompetency of
the guard, Hunt denied vigorously that
he was responsible for the mans escape
and added that he did not want to char
acterize the conduct of the sergeant as
derelection of duty.

STEAMER BURNED
AT BALTIMORE
(ey The Associated Press)

BALTIMORE, May 10-The steamer
Persia of the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company which arrived
from Boston today was partly burned at
her dock here tonight. The Ontario and
Kershaw, sister ships, were in danger
for time but were towed out and
escaped damage.
The fire broke out in the forward hold
and it's origin is unknown. No one but
members of the crew could have gotten
aboard as the dock was closely guarded
by police reserves because of the marine
strikers rioting and violence in the vi
cinity during the day. The company Of
ficials attribute the origin of the fire
to an electric wire in the forward COM
partment being broke or damaged by
shifting of the cargo. The loss is not
known. Part of the cargo had been re-
moved. The Persian was built at Ches-
ter, Pa, in 1882 and was formerly the
Tallahassee. She is 2077 gross tons.

A Revival For
The Renewal of
Personal Work.

When the Christian Church
was in its first glow of Pente-
costal triumph every disciple
was worker, every member
personal evangelist. Today as
during all the years The Church
of Christ needs more members,
and, even more keenly, more
workers.. II physician makes
a discovery that will heal dis
ease, save misery and death, the
ethics of his profession require
him to impart his secret to those
in need of it. When a man or
woman makes discovery con-
cerning Christian Truths and
their saving power, the ethics of
this profession demand the pass
ing of the redeeming revelation
to others. Personal evangelism
is needed as much today as ever,
II not more so. In every
Church, in every community,
there is great good accomplished
by an occasional genuine Relig-
ious Revival. Members of the
CHURCH of CHRIST are
brought TO a greater realization
of their duties and oppcrtuni-
ties, non-members are shown The
beauties Of the Christian Life
and the natural craving for spir-
ituai things in every human soul.
II seems timely to refer TO the
words of MIR. r. E. Olds recently
published in the DAILY NEWS
in which he placed Love, Labor
and Religion as the three great
things in life.-Love-that Di-
vine gift giving US the way to
forget self while doing for 9TH
ers. Labor-the honest endeaV-
or of head, heart and hands to
accomplish something worth
while. Religion-faith in God
that gives courage in life, de-
stroys fear of death, and leads
to a Life Eternal.
In this issue of the DAILY
NEWS appear the announce
ments of the various Sunday
services to be held tomorrow to
which you are earnestly invited.
