 GROVER BERGD0lL
Continued From Page Onc)

Westcott of New Jersey discussed plans for the expedition to the mountains, prior to the escape Judge Westcott had testified that he knew nothing of any so-called buried treasure until he read 1t in the newspapers after Berg doll had eluded his military guard at Philadelphia a year ago.
 Colonel Penn declared he had sug- gested to the commandant of the dis- cipiinary barracks. at Governors Island that commissioned officer be placed in charge of the guard accompanying Bergdoll to the mountains and that the suggestion "practiealy amounted to an order" When Ansell applied to Gen. eral Harris for authority to permit Berg doll to make the search, Colonel Penn said, the adjutant general said 1t was a reasonable request by responsible lawyer" and the witness added that it so appeared to him at the time.
 General March declared that when Gen eral Harris brought up the Ansell re- quest he only glanced at it and that it was approved by the latter, who had full authority in such matters. But when word reached him of the escape, the military machinery was set in mo- ton at once in the effort to capture the deserter.

it might lead other roads to adopt the same methods of dealing with their employees" said Mir. Faulkner.
 After relating his troubles in at tempting agreements with his em- ployes on lower wages, Mir. Faulkner proceeded 10 uphold the roads reduc- ton by citing wages in outside in - dustries. The latest reduction on the Mississippi Central, he said, brought common labor rates to 20 cents an hour in Hattiesburg and 15 cents along the line. He presented an exhibit show ing lS-cent wages in sawmills. lumber camps and machine shops along the railroad, and had just launched into A dissertation upon reduced living costs. when C. W. W. Hanger, public mem Der of the board, objected to further testimony on that subject, adding that The road was cited only to appear on charses of violating the law.
 E. F. Curtis, representing the employees, moved that evidence dealing with the merits of the reductions be stricken out of the record. Chairman Barton did not pass on the request, which will be con sidered by the board in reviewing all the evidence.
 At the opening of the case, B. M. Rob- irEon, president of the American Short line association, made a short address, charging union officers with undue in- terference in the smaller railroads busi- ness.

NEW WAGE HEARING

Chicago, May 9.--The railroad labor board today set about preparing for a new wage hearing. involving 15 new roads and including 75 additional disputes brought by carriers. which were parties to the wage hearing concluded last week. All of the new roads ask reduction of unskllied labor rates, and several ask | reductions in other classes of labor as well. Revision of the docket has brought the number Of roads in last weeks hear ing down to e5.
 l Many roads which did not include all classes of employees in previous submis- sions have now presented disputes in the remaining classes. Until the new cases are docketed however, the entire compass of the new case will not be known, inasmuch as some roads made separate submissions of disputes with each class of employees, while others grouped all disputes into one appeal. l A decision on the previous wage case by June 15 was declared probable today by members of the labor board. The boards statistical staff went to work immediately after tho hearing to sum narize and sift the mass of figures with which both sides flooded the hearing. A large part of the evidence will be thrown out on final consideration, it was indicated today, however, because mem bers consider it irrelevant.
 The weight, which exhibits and testi- mony concerning financial management, either past or present, possible economies, wastes purchases of materials and such matters will have in making the de- cision will be equal only to what each individual member considers such evil dence worth,'' public member of the board said today, adding that he ex- pected little consideration to be given that part of the evidence.
 | Doubt also was expressed by members of the board that the plea for living wage" as advocated by labor, would play very large part in the boards decision.
 "A living wage will undoubtedly he taken into consideration one member said, but people in many industries are living on much less than the figures named by the employees, and it will be matter of determining what the board considers sufficient for a living wage. Primarily, of course the factors enumer- ated in the transportation act will de- termine the decision"
 The cost of living and wages paid for similar work in outside industries are the two principal items named by law to guide the boards determination of wage |

CANKING SPURS
DO NOT ALWAYS
MAKE A RANGER

Straight from Ill oil NJ York to
the woolly west, John J. Lane for
brief period "woollied" it to his
hearts content. He is now in the
county Jail and has learned that
some one slipped out here years
ago and stole all the woolliness
out of the country.
John j. landed in the rugged
Cuba vicinity. The scenery suited
his idea of the blood and thunder
west. The idea of starting out as
a forest ranger appealed to him
he liked tho looks of the badge, so
he copied one from Ranger Nor
ris.
On the strength of this apparent
identification with the ranger
force of the west-probably feel
ing that it also connected him up
with the Texas rangers-he went
to the Cuba Mercantile company's
store and proceeded to fix himself
up in true cowboy style--eVery-
thing from a tall-topped, wide
trimmed sombrero to a set of jing.
ling spurs,
The mercantile company had no
objection to this-but he got the
goods on credit. Representing him
self to be a forest ranger, he also
talked them out of a ten-dollar
bill.
Equipped like Bill Hart and with
money in his pockets, he journeyed
to Socorro where, it is said he
put up with the sheriff and his
family, waiting the arrival of a
check. Ranger Garst, of the Datil
forest, got hep" to the idea that
John j., in spite of his outfit, had
never roped a COW. busted bronc
or ridden the ranges.
Before United States Commits
sioner Mcdonald yesterday, John
j. admitted the truth of this idea.
He also admitted his guilt of inn
personating a federal official. Fail
ing to give the required bond, John
]. found himself en- route to the
Bernalillo county Jail and a few
minutes later the iron doors clicked
on his motion picture idea of the
romantic and woolly west.

GOLD AVENUE PAVING
PLANS ABANDONED AS
RESIDENTS PROTEST

Seventy-five per cent of the
property owners on West Gold ave-
nue. protested against paving at
present prices and refused to agree
to use of the cheaper black base
type. Following filing of the pro-
tests at the meeting of the COM
missioners last night, the city COM
mission informally agreed to aban-
don the project.
So far, of the three projects, on
East Central avenue, North First
street and West Gold avenue, only
the property owners on Central
avenue agreed to paving at this
time. They objected to the high
price of the concrete base type at
an estimated price of $500 a yard,
but said they We're willing to pave
with the black base type at price
of 60 cents yard less.
Final action has not been taken
on the paving program by the paw
ing commission, but it is expected
that this will come at the meeting
wednesday. 1t is not known
whether the commission will ask
bids on the one small project on
East Central avenue from High to
Mulberry streets.
