as follows:

of witches, the executioners who applied

l looked at the author of this bill"
Senator Sterling of South Dakota, who
has charge of the anti beer bill in the Sem

to the statements by Senator Reed. He
contended the Mlssourian had violated the
etiquette of Congress.

The turn taken by the Senate discus
sion of the anti-beer bill proved most
surprising to men who had observed Con-
gress procedure for some years in mat

politicians to resent Mr. Wheeler's in

BITTER FIGHT
IN REPORT ON
STACKER SEEN
Luhring (Ind.) Made Subject
of Bitter Attack by
Attorneys.
ANSELL IS UP IN ARMS


Special TO Indiana Daily Times
and PhilRdelp hia Public Ledger
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Pros-
poets of bitter personal fights in
Congress are indicated as a result
of the majority report on the escape
Of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll by the
House Investigating Committee The
majority report holds the escape of
the notorious Philadelphia Stacker
as the direct result" of the request
made in his behalf by Samuel T.
Ansell, former acting Judge Advocate
General OF the United States Army,
that he be permitted to go on the
now famous "pot-of-gold" expedition.
AS attorney for Bergdou while he was
a military prisoner at Governors Island,
New York. Mr. Anseh made this re
quest Of Brig Gen. Peter c. Harris Adj
jutant General of the Army. In so far a
General Harris granted the request. as
shown by the testimony, the majority
report charges him with the primary
responsibility for the situation which
made possible the escape"
After the two reports. covering to
gether fifty five pages, were presented to
the House. Mr. Ansel made a public
statement. bitterly attacking those who
signed the majority report. His state
meut was supplemented by another from
former Senator George Chamberlain OF
Oregon, now a member Of the United
States Shipping Board. who expressed
regret at the majority report OF the in
yestigatng committee and defended the
high character OF General Anseu.'
The action of the House on the re-
ports admits OF complications because
the majority report was prepared by
Representative johnson, Democrat, Ken
lucky, and signed not only by Repre-
sentative Flood, Virginia. the other Dem
ocratic member OF the committee, but
also by Representative Luhring, lndi-
ana, Republican member of the commit
tee. The minority report, prepared by
Representative Peters of Maine. chairman
OF the committee, was signed by the re
naming Republican member Representa-
tive Macarthur. Oregon.
THINK MAJORITY
REPORT DOOMED.
In view Of these facts and the close
relation Of Mr.. AHseu to several recent
congressional fights which assumed at
times partisan character, there are
GROUNDS to believe the House may not
adopt the majority report. Mr.. Ansell
was closely associated with Mr.. Cham
berlain during the fight for reform of the
court martial system when the latter was
chairman Of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee. During his connection with
the House committee investigating the
war, Mr.. Anseu was frequently the sub
ject of partisan attacks and defense.
The chief element appearing to cause
the House to reject the report signed by
the majority of Republicans on the com
mittee, the minority report, is public in
dignation over the Bergdon scandal. The
American Legion, particularly, is expect
