ADMITS HE IS HEAD
 OF HUGE BOOZE RING
Details Of Operations Which Netted
 Millions Are Revealed

CHICAGO,a July 1S.-In 8 confes- sion, similar to one he made three years ago when the tenacles of the federal investigators probe reached into the United States Senate, Will liam A.

 Sadler's confession names John J. Mclaughlin, West Side politician, and former employe of the prohibi- ton department, as the one who forged the fake withdrawal permit for the removal of 1,200 cases of whisky from a Louisville distillery for Chicago consumption.
 Federal agents were waiting for the booze when it arrived. The gov ernment's case fell through when, after making his confession, Sadler disappeared

PRESIDENT HAWAIIAN
DECLINES INVITATION
Harding Desires To Return To Desk
 AS Soon As Possible

ABOARD PRESIDENT HARDING'S SPECIAL TRAIN, ALASKA RAIL- ROAD, July 1s.-(By Associated Press. .)-President Harding, although appreciative of an invitation extend- ed by Governor Harrington and the legislature of Hawaii to visit the island territory before completing tour which has taken him 800 miles into Alaska, considers it impossible to accept.
 The invitation was laid before the chief executive today by Secretary of the Interior Work while MT. and Mrs. Harding were travelling southward over the governments Alaska rail- road.
 A trip to Hawaii would delay the Presidents return to Washington by two or three weeks, whereas he con siders that his tour as at present ar ranged and on which he left the Cap itol June 20, will keep him away from his desk longer than he desires. Ac- cording to the existing itinerary, MT. and Mrs. Harding will arrive at Washington August 29. reaching New York the day before that.

$l2,000, 0,000 CANAL ISI URGED ON GULF COAST
Possibilities of Waterway Being
 Surveyed By Government

Surveyed Dy uONCIHH1enL
 NEW ORLEANS, La, July 1S.- Representa- tives from cities and par ishes throughout south Louisiana headed by Gov. John NJ.

It is pro- posed eventually tC extend the water way from Pensacola, Fla, to the Rio Grande river.
 Roy Miller of Corpus Christi, vice president of the InterCoastal Canal association, stated the canal could be completed within five years on the basis of a nine-foot depth and 1o0-fCot width, if the active influ- ence of business interests in the ter ritory affected was obtained.
 A survey of commercial possibili- ties, authorized in a bill passed by Congress last year, had been start ed Col. G. M. Hoffman, division en- gineer of the United States army, stated. A report including investi- gation of routes. cost of cCnstruc- tion and the building of locks which may have to be constructed in New Orleans, probably would be ready by December l, he said.
 Congressman Lazaro and Dupre of Louisiana, who attended the confer ence declared they would urge the passage of & bill In Congress appro- priating S12,o00,000 for construction of the waterway.
 Governor Parker emphasized the importance of the canal to the entire Mississippi valley.

They Regard Him as German

Almost as queer as the fact that during the war
most of the ~pacifists were pro-German is the other
fact that now the Germans are treating Bergdoll,
the Stacker and deserter, as if he were a hero. But
in both cases an explanation can be found.
Our ~pacifists had to deny most of the charges
made against the Germans, or at least to insist
that they were no worse than the French, or the
British, or the Italians, for that gave a basis for
their claim that the United States should not en-
ter the conflict.
The Germans like Bergdoll because they think of
him not as an American, but as another German
who CHANGED to be in an enemy country and acted
there Just as a good German should-refused to
take up arms against his fellow countrymen, was
cruelty prosecuted for his patriotism, and at last
escapes to his real home. To them, therefore, he is
neither a Stacker nor a deserter. If he were either
in their eyes, they, as a highly militant people, de
manding instant sacrifice even of life by the in
dividual citizen at the call of the state, would have
to hate and despise him
That he has brought not a little real money into
Germany, and has spent it freely, may have had
something to do with his popularity, but he would
have been welcome II only as a man who had done
exactly as all were expected to
do-and didn't.
There is next to no chance that the Germans will
heed n demand for his extradition, made by our
state department and Secretary Hughes rightly
calls the problem delicate. Kidnapping schemes are
almost sure to fail and they only embitter feelings
already bitter enough.
If Bergdoll had any sense, he would come back
take the not very severe punishment
that awaits him and at least get back the very COM
Portable remnant of his fortune.

Exploring Cavern

GLENROCK-Stuart Anderson and
family have spent the past two weeks
in the hills. camping on the Preston
Miller place n enjoying themselves
to tho utmost.
A part of the time was spent in ex-
ploring a huge cave near Deer Creek.
which has long been a mystery to
those who knew Of its existence, but
did not have the hardihood to explore
it. 1t a been generally supposed
that the cavern was bottomless, but
this theory was disproved on this
trip. when a windlass was rugged up
and Mr.. Miller was lowered into the
cave. his feet striking bottom at 140
feet. The floor is of limestone. with
n stream running through It, and
shooting off from the main room were
found numerous smaller caves. none
of which was explored because of the
difficulty Of getting to them with
the crude equipment available.
There was no animal life in the
cavern. but the place was studded
with cleaning stalactites. some of
which were brought to the surface.
