BERGDOLL'S POT OF MONEY FOUND,
 AGENTS BELIEVE
Mountaineer Now Claims His Pick Turned Up Only
 a Dime

WASHINGTON. August 2S.-Secret service agents of the department of justice, some of whom followed the Bergdoll case, have gone nto the Maryland mountains to find out the truth about the box of money that Lee Houser of samples Manor claimed he turned up with lis pick.
 The mountaineer now confesses that he really found only a dime and that he was only fooling. How ever agents of the department of justice, who received his story, say they doubt his most recent tale.
 So does Tn mas w. Miller, alien property custodian, who stated Tues day that he had recently received from Germany confidential informa- tion that BcrgdolTs story of burying a pot of gold" in the Maryland mountains was true.
 Miller said that if investigation proves it is the Bergdoll treasure, it will be seized by the government under the trading with the enemy act through which Der ydoll's other prop erty was taken over. He announced that he will press the case in coop eration with the department of justice.
 There is another rumor going around here among local sleuths who have studied the incid, nt-that the whole thing has been framed by secret service agents in order to bring to justice certain people suspected of having a part In the Bergdoll es- cape.

 Mrs. Smith suffered an injury to her nose, her face was lacerated and her right leg cut. Both Mir. Smith and MT. Austin were badly shaken up and bruised, and also suffered lscerations.
 Mir. and Mrs. Smith had just com pleted a tour of the continent and were flying to London to board the Olympic, which is to sail tomorrow from Southampton.

Pass Yank," :" Canadian Rum
 Officials Say

WINNIPEG, Man., August 2S. -"Hand over that liquor, Tia an officer"
 Hand over nothing. I'm an American"
 "oh, all right. Pass Ameri- can"
 Dialogues of this sort are now expected to btcome com mon in Manitoba. Magistrate Albert Dubuc has ruled that American citizens are virtually immune frcm the search and seizure provisions of the prov inCe temperance act, and Mani- toba expects to become dOubly tempting as filling station for American tourists as well as happy hunting ground for rum runners.
 Magistrate Dubuc's courteous decision was based on a pre- vious finding of the privy council that the temperance act cannot be operative in re- straint of international trade regardless of the fact of com- plete prohibition on the other side of the border.
 The court made plain, how ever, that the booze carrier must prove his American citizenship and that his vehicle also came from across the border.
 The test case resulting in the ruling was that of l.. II. Harvey, an American arrested for transporting whiskey in his car. His attorneys argued that Harvey had Intended to take the load to the United States and that the case was therefore subject to the privy councils ruling on 1nterna- tional trade.
 Magistrate Dubuc agreed that the fact Harvey would be in danger as soon as he crossed the line had nothing to do with the issue in Manitoba, and the case was dismissed.

(Leascd Wire To The ASe-Herald'J
 WASHINGTON, August 2S.-With prices of fuel and clothing and rents offering no promise of any early ma terial reduction, there is yet hope that the family larder can be stocked this winter for at least the present cost. perhaps with reductions in some food commodities.
 The homely potato is the only dark item on the family menu will be much scarcer this year than last. It has advanced recently in price thought it may not reach the hlgh present cost.
 However, the outlook for other foods is bright. Meats are cheaper, especially pork, with much larger stocks in storage this year than at the beginning of last fall. Chickens are cheaper. Eggs and butter have hay, ed Fruit crops are large. Winter apples are especially plentiful.

Fatal Shot Through Window.

Josephs got in. The Dropper set tied to the seat beside him. Will lemse placed himself on the other side of the Dropper. Then, just as the taxi door slammed, the weddy lit tie fellow scuttled out from his door way hiding place, skipped around to the back of the cab, stood on tiptoe, damned a pistol through the. high rear window, and fired.
 Captain Willemse's straw hat went kiting, spun by bullet. Ernest Gold finer, the driver, wobbled in his seat as he brought his hand away from a stinging spot on the back of his neck and saw red on his fingers The Dropper sagged against Josephs just as a fourth bullet shaved the detectives cheek.
 With a leap and a scream, the Droppers wife was on the diminu- tive Cohen, clawing his face with her fingers. Her weight spun him off balance and as he dropped to the pavement, several policemen smashed him flat as paint with their combined weight, flung from four directions.
 T done it. l done it! l give you right officer l done it! l got a wife and children, officer. The kid he comes to me and says I should give him $500. I ain't got $500. He says if l wouldn't give him $500 he will kill me. I had to do what I done It was me OF him"
 That was Cohen's story of the ignominious end of Kid Dropper.
 As the reserves swept into the neighborhood after the shooting they picked up four gunmen. One of them, known as Little Augie." had come we'll prepared to take his revenge. He had two pistols. Little Augie" had a violent grudge to settle with the Dropper for he was shot in the thigh about three months ago and claimed the Dropper's gang got him.
