Later, however, Burleson Indicated his belief he would be named controller, with the statement that the Postofflce Department could lower message rates and return a profit "The telegraph service Is breaking down," Burleson said. "They couldn't meet the necessity of the s'tuatlon and they were forced to send messages by train. "I don't believe they did this to de fraud. They were forced to do It " Replying to questions put by Repre sentative Cooper, of Ohio, Burleson de clared emphatically that he did not op pose Government employes unionising, but that he did object to them affiliating with outside organizations "How would the Government avoid a Btrlke If union recognition was refused?" Cooper asked "I believe telegraph emploj.es are. as patilotlc? as I am," Burleson returned. Rurleson'K Pet Hobby Burleson said thai while he opposed Government ownership as an abstract proposition, the ownership of wire communication by the Government had long been his pet hobby," and that fot this reason he had refrained from push ing the plan up to this time. The close of Burleon's testimony was marked by a brush with Representative Hamilton about abandonment of parti sanship during the war Hamilton Intimated the Democratic partv was guilt) of partisanship in Michigan, Hamilton's State Daniel Favors Ownership "My personal opinion Is that it should last forever," said Daniels, answering a question of Representative Wlnslow, Massachusetts. "I believe that once we have an op portunity to test Government control ot the telegraph and telephone systems we will never want to go back to the old arrangement." he added. Wlnslow asked why the President could not take over control of the busi ness as he did with the wireless sys tems without necessity of new legisla tion "The radio system was taken by an executive order from the President. I think In this case It would be better to give power by statute," Daniels replied Secretary Daniels said that every day messages of great Importance to the Government are being sent over private lines, and the fact that any company could perpetrate a fraud or could send a telegram by mall would be a sufficient reason to empower the President to take over a line Though the great bulk of telegraph and telephone employes now arc loyal, he said "our experience Is that those who take the osth to support the Government as Government officials or employes feel more bound than they are as employes of a private corpora tion. 1 would feel safer If n.r.--i employes handKd all our messages Bated en Military Needs Mr. Daniels said that when he w.-ote his letter to Chairman Sims advocating the resolution he did not know there was possibility of a strike on the West ern Union.

"The President should have the power to take over the lines." he continued. "Most of the traffic is Government busi ness and any interruption will Injure the Government. The telephone and the telegraph are Inseparable In service and both sj stems should be taken over." Baker Fears Tie-up "I cannot Imagine any more serious Interruption to our war preparations than suspension of telegraph service." said Mr, Baker. "Interruption, even for a brief time, would seriously Inter fere with all of our vvar activities." Replying to a question from Repre sentative Montague, of Virginia, Mr. Baker said the Government has no force "In the slightest degree adequate" for operating the lines In the event the lines were tied up by a strike. The American army In France is op erating 4000 miles of telegraph and tele phone, Mr. Baker told tho committee. These lines were acquired! from the French Government, he said, and are under entire control and operation of American troops. The legislation was discussed among Senate leaders of both parties today at Informal conferences. Several predicted that If the resolution Is pased by the House It also would be approved by the Senate and with comparatively brief de bate.

The fact that Erwln Bergdoll had also disappeared was brought out at the hearing of his mother, Mrs. Louis J. Bergdoll, In the Federal Bulldlnr. yesterday, on charges that she aided Grover to escape from the country, and that she had knowledge of where he Is now. Erwln Bergdoll, the Government agents assert, vanished about six weeks ago. He had registered for selective service, but failed to turn In his ques tionnaire, and was reported to the De partment of Justice. The suspicion of the Federal agents were nroused. It was said today by their discovery that the Bergdoll estate was calling mortgages and disposing of Its real estate holdings In the Wynne field, Bala and Cynwyd sections for cash. It was thought the money might be forwarded to Grover and Erwln Bergdoll Mrs. Bergdoll was held under $10,000 Ball by Commissioner Long, following her hearing yesterday. Charles V. Mallett and Joseph Mc Devitt, agents of the Department ef Jus tice, went to Mrs. Bergdoll's home at Fifty-second street and Wynnefleld ave nue yesterday, produced a search war: rant and ransacked the house from cellar i .arr!t ff letters or telegrams that i lla fhow wh'r th absconding son might be found. They said they found what they were after communications from Grover Bergdoll to his mother. These, they Intimated, enable them to fix the recent whereabouts of Grover. from which he may be traced. His early ar rest Is predicted. Albert Hall, of 4910 Wynnefleld avs ue;. Irs' Bsre'o11's son-in-law. advised S..vu arrest. summoned D. Clarence Glbboney, president of the Law and Order Society, who is her attorney. Glb boney advised that Mrs. Bergdoll answer no questions, and what she said to her interrogators is not known. Government agents have been hunting for Grover Bergdoll for many months, and several times thought they were about to put their hands on him. He was known to have been attentive to a young woman living in this city, and her mail was carefully watched. In due time she received letters ap parently from young Bergdoll; In fact, she received a number of such com munications. But to the great bewilder ment of the (detectives, a letter arriv ing on Monday would be dated and post marked Seattle, Wash, while an other communication would reach her on Wednesday, seemingly In the same hand writing signed in the same way, but' dated and postmarked Waco, Tex. On other occasions two letters would ap pear on the same day, one dated and postmarked San Francisco, Cal., and Miami, Fla. As It was manifestly Impossible far Bergdoll to have been In such widely separated cities wiiliin four days the Government agents finally concluded that the letters were merely blinds, sent by confederates for the purpose of ham pering the pursuit of the young man. Grover Cleveland Bergdoll's abscond ing from the draft capped the climax of his erratic performances In and around Philadelphia.. For years he had been the person In the city to provide sensations when all others failed. H burned up the roads of Philadelphia and adjoining countlea with his high-powered racing cars, defying constables and laughing at them. When arrested ha would fight conviction In the courts.
