Reports that Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, American draft dodger,
is being sheltered in Washington
prior to surrendering to the War
Department and the Department
of Justice were discounted today
by the Omen and denied by the
man reported to be giving the
former Philadelphia refuge.
Spokesman for the Department
of Justice said they doubted Berg
doll would surrender, and stated
that if he had it was not known
to them. War Department Off
Gals, with whom the Department
of Justice said Bergdoll would
have to deal principally, could not
be reached for comment.
Faces Two Years in Jail
AS explained by the Justice men,
Bergdoll was indicted in Philadel-
phia for conspiracy to violate the
Draft Act and faces at least two
year sentence on this count. He
was convicted by a court martial,
it was brought out, but escaped
from military guards on the ruse
of searching for "a pot of gold"
Lieut.. Col. Bruce Campbell,
U. S. A., retired, named as the
intermediary" in the draft
dodgers negotiations" scotched
reports Of his connection with the
Bergdoll plan. He said:

LONDON, october 80. - Brit
aims coal industry made profit
of $2O,O75, O0O-the highest for 10
years-in the first three months

The chief reason was an in
creased demand for 100000 tons

CHEVY CHASE YEAR
REVIEWED BY HEGE
Securing of Funds in Budqet
for School Improvement
Biggest Achievement.

The securing Of an appropriation
for walks, walls and general ground
improvements at the Woodrow Wilson
High School and the inclusion in the
1887 budget of an item for additional
class rooms and an auditorium at the
Lafayette School were major achieve
ments Of the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association during 1885. This is an
nounced in the annual report to men,
bers, made by Edwin S. Hege, presi-
dent. Your association has more
than justified its existence" he
stated.
The appropriation for the improve
ments at the high school were cb-
tanned after subcommittee Of Con-
gross had been urged to deny funds
for fear they would be wasted before
the erection OF stadium there Wit,
other civic groups, the association
| conducted a campaign to have thu
Lafayette School enlarged. In tn
District budget recently presented r
Congress an item of s165 900 was ir
cluded for the construction OF
| eight-room addition to the school az
an assembly gymnasium.
Grounds improvement Sought.
Efforts are also being made to he
the grounds adjacent TO the sch~
improved so they can be utilized. c
pecially during the Summer. as
playground in the interest OF juveni
health, safety and training in grou
! play.
Membership in the association in
| creased last year TO about 800 men,
bers, Hege stated, making it the
largest association, numerically, in
the city. This association Is also
carrying on a campaign to get mem
bers and revive interest In civic af-
fairs for the Connecticut Avenue Cit
i2ens' Association. whose territory lies
just south of Chevy Chase. Since
this was begun in October 300 men,
bers have been obtained to form the
nucleus of the new organization.
Future Problems Listed.
Traffic. safety and public transport
tation were listed by Hege as major
problems to be considered by the as
sociation during 1886 There is no
denying" he said. that vehicles are
being slowed and stopped by both
double and single parking at times
when the full roadway is needed for
flowing traffic. To meet this situ-
alton will require a courageous pro-
gram by municipal authorities"
Hege questioned whether street
widening. with its costly relocating
of curbs and underground conduits.
would solve the problem. Such pal
liatives can hardly be justified" he
held until all parking restrictions
shall nave been applied"
He suggested several matters relat-
ing to bus transportation for the as
sociations attention this year. He
proposed that a lower percentage of
standees and better ventilation equip
ment be sought Much discomfort
from heat and humidity in Summer
cannot be escaped with the present
inadequate ventilating devices on
busses, he claimed.
In concluding the annual report,
Hege urged members to support the
association through increased attend
ance at meetings and by taking a
greater interest in discussions and
activities.

BENEFITS OF LIFE
IN Dc. REVIEWED
Effect of Budget on Health
is Federation Topic
Thursday.

What are the advantages Of living
in Washington?
DR.. Charles B. Campbell, delegate
to the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tions from the Medical Society of the
District, advances many reasons why
Washingtonian should consider him.
self fortunate to live in the Nations
Capital. even though its citizens have
no vote.
While it Is natural for human beings
to complain, he says, "every good busi-
ness man frequently takes stock OF his
enterprise, counting his assets, ex-
penditures and profits"
DR.. Campbell discussed living condi-
tions in the District in an address
Thursday evening over Station WMAL
DR.. McLendon to Talk.
Each week q civic leader speaks over
WMAL on topics of current civic
interest. The series is sponsored by
the federation and is under the direc-
ton of its president, Thomas E. Lodge.
The speaker next Thursday will be
DR.. Preston A. McLendon, also of the
Medical Society. DR.. McLendon is
assistant professor of pediatrics at
George Washington University.
He is member of the Public Health
Committee and chairman of the Law
and Legislation Subcommittee of the
society, in addition to being CO.
delegate to the federation with DR..
Campbell.
In his address this week. DR.. Nc
Lendon will discuss the District budget
with relation to public health matters
and the effects of health appropria-
tions and legislation on the public.
Among advantages Of living in the
District, DR.. Campbell declared in las,
weeks talk, are the many public
Libraries. which offer the greatest op-
portunities for education and science
Underground Wires Unique.
The numerous trees throughout the
city give some sections the appearance
OF huge forests in Summer and the
absence Of overhead street car and
telephone wires classes Washington a.
the only city in the United States te
have complete underground wiring
| system.
The sewer system is comparable with
that OF Paris. he asserted, and Is con-
stantly being enlarged as the city
grows.
The Potomac River furnishes many
opportunities for water sports and
regattas. The electricity and gas
| facilities have made 1t possible to re-
| duce the rates from year to year.
Washington's Zoo, he pointed out
contains the largest collection OF
animals in the world and with its ex-
tensive parks system offers facilities
which no other city enjoys.
After celebrating on these and many
other advantages of Washington, DR.
Campbell concluded: with this knowl-
edge. we can press foreward to the
goal of high achievement we have Sc,
for ourselves. With past as prosperous
as ours, We can look forward undis-
mayed and unafraid."

COUNCIL STUDYING
CHANGE IN SYSTEM
Northeast Conference Would
Vote as Well as Discuss
Under New Plan.

A drastic change in the method OF
conducting business al the meetings
of the Northeast Conference. involv-
ing a change in its constitution, Is
being considered by member bodies
This is a proposal that a formal vote
be taken on matters brought to its
attention instead of merely discussing
them, as at present. A final decision
on this plan will be made when the
delegates assemble at the next meet
ing, February 6.
Present System Informal.
Under present rules, the conference
meets to discuss matters of interest
and Importance to its members. In
formal agreements are reached among
the delegates to push or retard GER
tain matters in their respective parant
associations, but no formal vote is
taken. The conference has never
acted as an independent organization,
but action on matters it has con-
sidered is usually taken in its member
associations.
It sends no delegates to the feder-
alton, although several delegates to
the federation are also delegates to
the conference. 1t can send no reso-
lutions or requests to Congress, the
Commissioners or other authorities. 1t
is not, however, without influence.
Matters agreed upon at the confer
ence are usually acted upon by the
various member associations and sent
out as actions of those bodies.
Vote Not Binding.
If the proposed change is made, the
conference could then vote on matters
brought to its attention. The vote of
the conference would not be binding
on its members, however. It would
merely be recorded as the action of
the conference. The plan provides
that no resolutions or motions are to
originate in the conference, but it Is
to act only on those presented by
member bodies.
A number of delegates to the con-
ference believe that this change would
give it more weight with the Commits
sioners and in the federation, when it
is shown that the whole Northeast
section is united for or against Ger
tain matters.
