DISMISS BERGDOLL SUIT
TO RECOVER PROPERTY
Alien Custodian Case Can Be Re-
opened If Mother Agrees to
Answer Questions.

Justice Bailey of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia has dis
missed the suit of Mrs. Emma c.
Bergdol of Philadelphia for the re-
turn by the alien property custodian
to her of 100000 worth Of property
seized as belonging to her son, Grover
c. Bergdoll, the draft evader. The
reason assigned by the court was the
refusal of Mrs. Bergdoll at the recent
trial of her case to produce certain
documentary evidence properly de-
manded by the counsel for the gov
ernment and her refusal to answer
certain questions on ss-examina-
ton.
The government had sought to ex-
anime the books Of account to which
Mrs. Bergdoll referred in her testi-
mony in order to determine whether
the money and property in question
belonged to the son or to the mother
as claimed by her.
The order of dismissal is without
prejudice to the beginning of a new
proceeding by Mrs. Bergdoll should
she decide to answer proper questions
and submit for examination the de-
sired books.
The alien property custodian was
represented by Attorneys Vincent A.
Carroll. Dean Hill Stanley and Vernon
E. West, while Attorney J. S. Maxwell
appeared for Mrs. Bergdoll.

STRIKE SAFEGUARD
LAID BY D. C.POL|CE
No Serious Trouble Expect.
ed, However, Declares In
spector Evans.

Inspector Charles A. Evans, acting
of police, said today
he anticipated no serious trouble
growing out of the railway strike.
but he is taking every precaution to
properly guard property. Vacations
of members of the force will be cur
tailed and additional men will be kept
on duty for emergency work.
inspector Evans sent to the sew
eral captains an order which reads:
you will take every precaution to
see that any possible untoward acts
are prevented and the maximum order
maintained, which refers particularly
to the precincts wherein are located
railroad properties. This applies to
Nos. 4, s, 6, Z, s, 9, 10 and II.
'Ia SO far as the terminal station
properties are concerned, it is the
understanding of this office that the
terminal authorities are making spe-
cial preparations to care for their
own in the event of a strike. 1t is
officers will be brought in for this
purpose. This, however, does not
relieve this department in case Of dis
order, and 1t is necessary that every
possible precaution be taken to pre-
vent the same.
fou Will nave your men De con-
stantly on the alert with a view of
securing information should any dis
order or depreciation on railroad prop
critics be contemplated, ana you will
keep these headquarters in close touch
with any developments
1T is very important and extremely
necessary that the members of this
department conduct themselves, in
the event of a strike, in an absolutely
neutral and impartial manner They
must guard carefully their conduct in
this respect, in order that prejudice
to either side may not be charged, and
you will impress upon them the neces-
si.y of governing themselves accord
ingly."
