Three Autos Almost Destroyed
in Blaze Tip on Erwin
Proves Fruitless
Mrs. Emma Bergdoll's .$10,000 gar
age on her .estate at Fifty-second and
Wynneficld avenue was badly damaged
by an explosion and fire this morning.
Mrs. Bergdoll believes the lire wns
started by an enemy.
To bear out this assertion, she says
that the telephone could not be used
when she tried to telephone in nn
alarm, altliough she had talked over
the instrument oirty a few minutes
before.
She also tells of the mvsterious visit
of a man who flashed a special
officer" badge on the caretaker of the
place early this morning, nnd cursed
mo employe as n pro-German after in
quiring for Erwin Bergdoll, fugitive
draft dodger.
"This is the last straw," said Mrs.
Bergdoll, after the fire bad been ex
tinguished. "I am sick with worry,
and shall have to send for a doctor. I
was going over to New York tomorrow
to see Orovcr, but I can't go now. I'd
bo afraid to leave my home. I know it
wouiu do uurneu down wnllc 1 wns

The burned garage is a three-storv
building of stone, with a red tile roof,
finished inside in hardwood, heated
with steam nnd lighted with electricitv
The garage is ns large as an ordinary
dwelling, and could not be duplicated
at present prices for $10,000. The
roof was partly destroyed, the interior
woodwork badly burned, nnd the en
tire structure damaged by water. The
loss will ruu into thousands of dol
lars. Three Cars In Garage
Three powerful motorcars, n limou
sine, a sedan nnd a touring car, were
in- the garage when the tire stnrtcd.
One of the three was the machine in
which one of the Bergdoll bo;is wns
chased around town last summer;
nnother the car which G rover Berg
doll shipped home from the West dur
ing the months when he was n fugitive.
Mrs. Bergdoll directed the efforts
of neighbors to save the three cars
before tho lire engines nrrived. Even
more important to Mrs. Bcigdoll was
the rescue of her pft cow, lodged' in n
stall constructed at the rear of the
garage.
The three automobiles' were dragged
out on the lawn, nnd the cow turned
tloose. The animal had n plcnsnuc time,

neighbors, for nn hour or mi. then

Maurice Mneterliuck is i:ot coming

Maurice himself broke the bad. saw
news in n telegram to Mis Gertrude

MAURICE MAETERLINCK.
And now the nuestlon is. who won't
allow Maurice to speak in I'hilnilelphia,
and vhv nnd wherefore?
Mr. Pond seems to blame Mr. Russell
for the tragedy, and Mr. Russell ap
pears to blame Mr. Pond. James B.
Pond is head of the Pony Lyceum Bu
reau, of New York, which orranged the
lecture. Henry Russell is Maeter
linck's manager.
EvenMhls nfternoon, just before the
calamitous telegram came smoking in,
Mr. Pond insisted that M. Maeterlinck
would carry out his contract to speak
in Philadelphia tonight.
And just ns firmly Mr. Russell in
sisted that he would do nothing of the
sort.
LIUo Horse That Won't Drink
"You enn lead a horse to water, but
vou can't make him drink," wns Mr.
Russell's rejoinder to a threat of legal
action.
"It seems a pity that so great a

placed in such a position." he went on.
"Mr. Pond is to blame. The con
tract 'he had did not stipulate that
Maeterlinck should lecture in -'-nglWi.
Yet the lyceum manager tried to in

against Senator Newberry and lilt

was upheld today.
redcraf Judge .sessions dismissed a
demurrer fjled by counsel for the in

Arguments on the demurrer were
heard last Monday, counsel for the de
fendants attacking the constitutionality
of the general election law, and the ap
plication of the case of what is known
us the mail fraud section of the I'nlted
States Criminal Court.
Congress hns the right and power to
regulate not only the election but the
nomination of its members, the court
held. The corrupt practices net also is
held to be valid, and the court ruled that
any fraud, regardless of the subject mat
ter, whether in nn election or in nny
other activity, which aims to use thc
United States mails for its furtherance,
comes clearly within thc meaning of
sections 37 and 2Ifi of the criminal

Last night's meeting of the Demo
crats cnllid to discuss what was In
efleet the Republican counter-proposition
failed to reach an agreement.
Thus mi lonipromise is yet iu sight,
though one serins nearer. Iu any case
the Republicans will bring the treaty
up again, so as to establish the record
publicly of being willing to make con
cessions, and if these concessions fall
to place the respousibilitj on the Dem
ociats. Publicly and formnllj Senator Lodge
is keeping out of these negotiations and
ostcusiblj it i only Senator AIcNary,
who is acting. But there is no doubt
that the Oregon senator nets and speaks
tor Air. Lodge, and in spite of denial,
the counter-proposal is in effect the
Lodge counter-proposal, although if it
fuils the' Republican leader is in a
position to disavow it.
The preamble, which Senator Lodge
would drop, lequires that reservation
bj the I'nited States should be formally
accepted 'ij nt least three of the four
principal allied powers. Great Britain,
France, Italj nnd Japan.
