SLACKER BERGDOLI'S ESTATE
Is Taken Over by Alien Property
Custodian by Harding's Order.

Washington, May 27.-President
Harding Friday ordered the seizure
by the government Of, the property
belonging to Grover Cleveland Berg
doll, wealthy Philadelphia draft
dodger, who escaped from prison
and is sojourning at a health resort
in Germany.

custodian, left here for Philadelphia

Estimates of the value of Berg
doll's personal holdings in this coun-
try vary. Mrs. Bergdoll, mother Of
Grover 'Bergdoll, testified before a
Congressional committee some days
ago that Grover was worth approx
mately half a million dollars.
The alien property custodian is
sued the following statement:
AT the personal direction OF the
President of the United States, and
in accordance with an opinion Of the
attorney general, have gone to
Philadelphia to seize such property
belonging to Grover Cleveland Berg
doll as has been reported to the alien
property custodian as being his own
property, or in which he has any in
terest whatsoever, whether owned
and administered directly by him or
through power Of attorney given to
any member Of his family.
This move has been in contem-
plation several weeks and has been
the subject OF conferences between
the President, the attorney general
and the alien property custodian
The State Department has amended
the general war trade board license
of Oct. 2, 1920, which permitted
Bergdoll to enjoy the benefits Of his
property in this country.
"Bcrgdoll. in addition to his other
crimes against this country by rea-
son Of his evasion Of the draft laws
and subsequent escape, is an EN-
envy under the trading with the en-
emy act
'"The intention Of the alien prop
erty custodian is to administer and

Philadelphia, May 27.-The dras-
tic action against the notorious draft
dodger, Grover Bergdoll, who fled to
Germany, was taken by Col. Thos.
W. Miller, alien property custodian,
by authority Of President Harding
to-day. Summarized briefly, the
seizure means:
l. All OF Bergdoll's property, in
cluding his share in the Bergdoll
brewery, will be administered by the
government instead Of by his mo-
ther, Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll.
Q. All Of his funds on deposit in
banks are to be administered by the
government.

LOWER TREND IN
ORLEANS COTTON
Influence of Fairly Favorable Weather
Over the Belt is Felt

NEW ORLEANS, July 2O.-The trend
was lower in the cotton market today
under the influence of fairly favorable
weather over the belt. somewhat better
weekly crop reports from the government
than expected and the growing opinion
that the July condition figures would
compare favorable with those TO June 25.
The market was filled with reports of
a better feeling in the spot markets Of
the south and the larger trading IN the
cotton goods markets of this country
caused much comment but resulted in
only limited buying. The demand from
all sources was quickly filled. Late in the
day the market touched its lowest levels.

new YORK CONCERT
SEASON SUCCESSFUL
Stadium Has Hundreds of ARTISTS |
Union Charter Is Revoked.
(Ry DIXIE HlNEs)

NEW YORK, July 20.-The most
significant feature of the summer
music and drama season has been the
opening of the annual summer sea-
son of concerts at the Stadium, open
ed with brilliant artistic success, and
accompanied by an act which may do
much to clear the atmosphere in and
about the places of amusement. The
local musician unions, which has been
a radical and ruthless thorn in the
side Of promoters of music events as
well as theatre managers, sought to
boycott the new Stadium season for
some imagined grievance, and for a
time it looked as if the union had
succeeded in depriving New York and
its thousands of summer visitors Of
one Of its chief artistic joys.
> Happily, the management or She
concerts and the subscribers refused
to be blackjacked even by a musicians
labor union and musicians were re-
cruited from Philadelphia and have
been given the positions. 1t required
courage as we'll as unlimited financial
resources to meet this demand, but it
has been done and the season has been
auspieiously opened and successfully
continued with the climax reached
just before the opening performance
when the president of the musicians
union, with the approval of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, revoked the
charter of the local union. thus plac-
ing them outside the pale Of union
protection. New York thus finds itself
without a musicians union, and there
is a probability that a new one may
be formed, minus the radical element,
which may do something towards
bringing peace and tranquility to the
amusement field. and stabilizing the
other radical unions.
The concert season is a most appTe-
ciated season for music lovers, and
there is rejoicing not alone among
music lovers here and elsewhere, but
the conservative supporters of union
labor here and elsewhere for the very
satisfactory outcome all around.

MUCH WEAKNESS In
new YORK COTTON
Hedge Selling and Absence of Outside
Speculative Support Responsible.

NEW YORK, July 20.--Hedge selling
and an absence of outside speculative
support were chiefly responsible for the
failure of the cotton market to respond
to bulIish crop weather and textile news
today Much of the weakness developed
in the late afternoon when pressure from
the south was most pronounced, forcing
October down to 1875 and December to
1915. with closing prices practically at
the bottom and IL to 10 points under the
previous night.
The market opened barely steady and
Z to 10 points lower because of heaviness
in Liverpool and rather liberal offerings
from Wall Street and local sources. Mod
crate early support from southern inter
ests based on the reports of extensive
boll weevfl damage and further showers
in the belt was not sustained after the
first half hour, and the best prices OK
the day were only even with the close
of Tuesday. Traders were convinced
that the weekly government weather and
crop report fully confirmed recent pri
vate advices as to the extent of boil
weevil ravages. including northern sec
lions of the belt which have heretofore
been imune but beyond a brief upturn,
the report had little influence on the
market. Even the announcement of fur

buying among room traders or outside
interests. It was understood that the
corporation was prepared to loan imme-
diately twenty million dollars in addition
to the ten million rollors already arranged
for which combined would finance about
nine hundred thousand bales of cotton
and to this extent relieve the market OF
the early pressure from the new crop.
