that he used politics to avoid military

has been aggravated by accusations

Mrs. Bergdoll and Four
More Pay $1,000 Fines
Check Signed by Braun Is Used,
Mothers Bank Account Hav-

.Speciai Dispatch TO The Trib,,

PHILADELPHIA, June 10. - Mrs.
Emma |. Bergdoll and her four CO.
defendants, under protest to-day, made
proxy payment to the government of
$4,000 in fines, but they did not pay
in gold, as WAS expected.
A single check, drawn on the Frank
lin National Bank and signed by
Charles A. Braun, one of Mrs. Berg
dolls sons, was the medium employed
in tightening the Bergdoll riches. A
messenger took the slip of paper to
the Federal court. None of the de-
fendants appeared.
Mrs. Bergdoll's fine was $1,000, as
were the fines of Braun and James e,
Romig, friend of the Bergdolls. The
other defendants, Albert S. Mitchell
and Harry Schulz, were fined $1,000
each.
Officials were inqusitive about the
manner in which payment would be
made, inasmuch as Mrs. Bergdolls
bank accounts have been sequestered
by the government pending their sep
aration from the seized wealth of
Grover Bergdoll, the Stacker, who is in
Germany.
Mrs. Bergdoll, Braun and Romie
were sentenced to a year and day
in prison besides the fine. Schuh and
Mitchell were sentenced to six months
The court announced that if the fines
were paid before June 13 the prison
sentences would be remitted.

General Palmer that beer may be used

The Rules Committee refused to con-
slider the measure as emergency legis-
lation and insisted that it carried pro-
visions more far reaching than it's
stated purpose. Chairman Campbell
informed Mr.. Volstead that no objec-
tton would be raised to providing for
consideration Of an amendment pro
hibiting beer as medicine, but that the

From The Trfbnnc's Wasy.inoton Bureau

From The Tribnnc's Washin 6ton Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 10.-Senator
Wadsworth in the Senate to-day at
tempted to bring about consideration
of the bill providing for the appoint
ment of one additional Federal Judge
for the southern district of New York.
Consideration was blod;ed, however,
by objections from Senator King, of
Utah, and Senator Watson, Of Georgia.
Senator Wadsworth declared the
number of cases now pending in the
District Court of the southern district
was so great that not merely one more
judge but two more judges were neces-
sary. He said if the bill were taken
up he would move to provide for two
additional judges instead of one.
Senator King objected because he
said the Attorney General had named
a commission of eminent lawyers to
consider the rehabilitation of the
judicial system in certain respects.

Haynes,Ohio Editor,
n e w Prohibition
Director for u. s.
Faces Big Task in Restoring
Disorganized Field Force;
Long a Dry Worker and
Early Harding Supporter

WASHINGTON, June 10.--Formal an
nouncement of the appointment of Roy
Haynes, a Hillsboro, Ohio, editor, as
national prohibition commissioner was
made to-day at the White House.
Mr.. Haynes, who succeeds John F.
Kramer, is expected to take office as
soon as he can arrange his personal
affairs. The appointment does not re-
quire Senate confirmation.
The new commissioner is editor of
The Hillsboro Dispatch, and was one of
the first Ohio editors to suggest the
nomination of Mr.. Harding for Presi-
dent. He has been factor in Ohio
Republican politics for a number of
years, and in 1912 was a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress.
Haynes served as headmaster of the
Miami Military Institute at German
town, Ohio. He has been identified
with church and temperance work, and
five years ago was member of the
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
The final choice for the position Of
prohibition commissioner has rested
for some time, it was understood, be-
tween Mr.. Haynes and another Ohioan,
Newton Fairbanks, of Springfield, a
ministration officials have indicated
that Mr.. Fairbanks would be given a
place in the government service, and it
als been suggested that he may be
appointed to the diplomatic corps.
Mr.. Haynes may take over the cffice
within few days after conferences
with Internal Revenue Commissioner
Blair. Reorganization of the prohibi-
tion enforcement agency still is far
from complete. Appointments remain
ing to be made include an assistant
commissioner, who will succeed D. S.
Bliss, and a number of district and
state supervisors. The new commits
sioner also will face the task of reor-
ganizing the field forces which recent
ly were materially reduced because of
a lack of funds to pay their salaries.
Commi ssioner Kramer said he had
been too busy as comm ssioner to make
arrangements Tor his future, but prob
ably would return to his home in Mans
field, Ohio. q
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
of the Anti-Saloon League, said the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Haynes was very
acceptable to the prohibition forces and
the friends of law and order"

Ina Claire will be starred next fall
under the management of William
Harris jr., according to an announce

"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife," an adap-
tion from the French farce Of Alfred
Savoir made by Charlton Andrews.
Miss Claire will sail for Europe to-
day and pass the summer resting from
her run of two seasons in "The Gold
Diggers." According to her present
plans she will not return to this coun-
try until August, just in time for re-
hearsals for the play, which will open
at the Ritz Theater September 5.
1t was under the management of the
late Henry B. Harris, older brother of
William Harris jr., that Miss Claire
first attracted attention. playing in
"The Quakr Girl" Following that
she was with the Ziegfeld Folies.
Later she had long run in "Polly with

reparations question was at it's acute
point. Since reparations matters were
agreed on, the President has been en-
tirely willing.
In other words, the matter of tech
nically ending the war is up to Con-
gress. The President is willing to let
the two houses work out the form of
the resolution, This will be done as
soon as the differences between the
houses over the Knox and the Porter
resolutions can be adjusted. The Pres
ioent believes the adoption of such a
resolution would have good psyche
logical results in getting the world
back in the direction of normalcy and
would open the way for agreement
with Germany, as we'll as Austria, on
permanent covenants or treaties grad
ually bringing about establishment of
relationships.
Of course, the question comes up,
what will be done about the American
troops on the Rhine when peace reso-
luton is passed? 1t is authoritatively
stated that the Administration does
not consider this a matter of great diff
ficulty. 1t is generally assumed that
most of these troops would be with
drawn. One suggestion is to withdraw
the troops and send marines, but it can
be said that this angle of the problem
is not worrying the Administration SO
much as some others.

The committee also decided to con
duct an investigation with view to
