Eberbacii. Baden, Aug. 11.-Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, notorious draft
-evader and fugitive from justice from
the United States, shot and killed
one man who attempted to kidnap him
and wounded another seriously today.
The dead man is said TO be Karl
Schmidt, of Lausanne Switzerland,
and the wounded man, Sherber Rogo
OF Paris. --.
Two, Americans were arrested by
gendarmes and charged with compli
city in the alleged attempted kidnap,
ing. They are said TO be former
lieutenant in the American army nam
cd Griffit hand chauffeur namde
Nelson.
Details OF the attack on Bergdoll
were conflicting but, according TO the
version carried tonight, three men at
tackled the draft eyader as he entered
his hotel.

Bergdoll gained time by biting the
thumb of one assailant. Then he
drew his revolver, shooting and kill
ing the second.

Russian named Count Gregor Gar

darmcs, attracted by the sound OF
shooting. chased the Russian TO an
automobile said TO have borne United
States government license "T-22," in
which they found Lieut.. G. III. Grif-
fifth, an American, and chauffeur,
Victor Nelson, also an American.
The police arrested the Russian and
the two Americans, who were threat
ened by a crowd which had followed
the gendarmes, shouting Lynch them.
Police had some difficulty in pro-
tecting their prisoners.

of the hotel, a plentiful supply of arms
and money.
All the men in the attacking party
appeared to be under 30 years of age.
His Mother There.
Bergdolrs mother arrived here this

the family.
Bergdoll fled to Germany on May
81, 1920 after escaping from guards

volvers, ordering his surrender. The

supported by the riots today in yari-
Gus parts of the country in which
upwards of n score were killed and
many injured. The fact that the riots
broke out in Upper Silesia, Rhenish

simultaneously is interpreted as proof
of concerted effort By the Commune

to make a final effort for re-establish-

PRICE WAR SENDS
GASOLINE TO II

Successive Slaskes o.
dered by Rival
Concerns.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 11-With the end
of the price-cutting war between gaso-
line producers here not in sight, H.
cent gasoline prevailed in Dallas to-
night while motorists chugged about
hoping for a continuation of hostili-
ties.
Announcement by the Magnolia Pc
troleum Company of n reduction to
II cents a gallon in the retail price of
gasoline marked the entrance of the
first big concern in the fight.
Within three weeks, the price of
gasoline has slumped from u to II
cents and the prediction is made that
it may go even lower should the war
continue.
The skirmish, which has developed
into n real engagement. lrted when
several large oil companies began Civ
ing a 2-cent-per-gallon rebate>to pur-
chasers of large Quantitie- of retail
gasoline.
The Humble Oil and Refinery Com.
pany protested the practice and imme.
diately cut the price of gasoline . cents
a gallon to all retail purchasers. This
was followed by 2-cent GU. by rival
concerns.
The Humble Company promptly
took off another . cents. and eventually
retail gasoline sold in Dallas for 10
cents a gallon.
Then the Humble Company reduced
the price to IL cents.
Friday the Magnolia Petroleum
Company announced 11-cent gasoline
to meet the competition Of the Humble
and smaller companies that fell into
line when the price cutting started.
The Oriental and few other oil
companies have kept the price at IL
cents, claiming that al cheaper fuel
means too great loss TO them.
