BERGDOLL ASKS FREEDOM
He Charges That Act of May IL, 1917,
Violates Constitution.

A petition asking a writ of habeas
corpus to obtain his release from the
federal disciplinary barracks at Fort
Leavenworth, was filed in the United
States district court here today by
Erwin Rudolph Bergdo1l, brother Of
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, arch
Stacker.
Erwin Bergdol1 was sentenced to
serve four years in the disciplinary
barracks for attempting to evade the
draft. In his petition he attacks the
act of May II, 1917, charging that it
violates the constitution of the United
States in that it gives the president
power to raise an army, thus destroy
ing the rights of the state: places the
states at the command of the presi-
dent that it compels all states to obey
the orders of the provost marshal gen.
eral and that it violates the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution in that
it deprives citizens of civic rights.
Bergdon also claims under the
existing laws a man has to enlist be-
fore he can become a soldier and that
inasmuch as he never enlisted in the
army he was not a soldier and could
not be prosecuted as such; that con-
gress has declared that failure to ap-
pear for a physical examination can
be only a civil offense and that the
president has no power to say whether
a crime is military or civil. He also
asserts that the statutes provided a
punishment Sof eighteen months i'm
prisonment for his offense but that
he was sentenced to serve four years.

Harold, Father, However, Still
Refuses to Give Attitude.

Chicago, June S.-The court fight
against Mathilde McCormick's inter-
national marriage to Max Oser ended
abruptly in less than two minutes
proceedings in probate court today
when Mrs. Edith Rockefe!ier McCor-
mick, the girls mother. Withdrew her
petition for restraining order to pre-
vent Mathilde's marriage to the Swiss
horseman.
AS the time approached fer the
hearing on the petition which Mr.
thildeS divorced mother, Edith
Rock efeller Mccormick, was given
leave to file asking an injunction re-
straining her former husband, Har-
old F. Mccormick. from granting
consent to the international mar
riage, counsel for Mrs. Mccormick
announced the application had been
withdrawn.
With announcement of the with
drawaI of Mrs. McCormick's petition
came the suggestion from friends that
the whole court action had been re-
sorted to as a means of keeping Ma
thilde in America as long as possible
in the hope that she might Voluutar-
lily change her mind about marryin g
Oser.
. Mathilde's father was referred to
by attorneys as IAN indulgent father
who has been accustomed to give his
children what they desired"
He has persistently refused to dis
cuss Mathilde's proposed marriage but
friends intimated that he and his for
mer wife were not greatly at discord

MAY BUY ROAD
Rock Island Officials Inspect
Wichita Northwestern Line.
But Report Is Expected by OF
ficiaIs To Be Adverse.

Chicago, June 3-Altho purchase
of the Wichita Northwestern railway,
1OO-mile line extending from Pratt
to Vaughn. Kan. is not now contem-
plated by the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific, according to company Off
GERS here, an inspection of the smaller
road is now being made on the rec
ommendation of which action will be
taken. The report is expected next
week.
The Wichita Northwestern has been
losing about $4,000 annually and the
Rock Island was recently asked by the
Kansas railway commission to take
over the smaller road, because it is
considered a necessary line to the
farmers of that regien.
The report on the road, officers
said, was expected to be adverse.
About three months ago rumors
were current that the Rock Island was
negotiating for the purchase of both
the Wichita Northwestern and the
Santa Fe's branch line from Pratt to
Wichita. Such a plan, it was point
ed out, would not only give the Rock
Island an important feeder in the
southwestern part of the state but it
would also provide a shorter route to
Wichita and Oklahoma points for
far north as Herington.
That the Santa Fe would sell this
line, however was denied at the COM
pany's general offices here and the re-
port. that the Rock Island would pur-
chase the Wichita Northwestern was
never verified, altho it was given con-
siderable credence at the time.
