This is thp propertj which has been
nuirh discussed lately as it possible pub
lie terminal, to be acquired by the city
for tile purpose of promoting the eport
business of the port of Philadelphia.
Pining the war period the United
States spent $1.".. 000.000 on the prop
erty, hut. according to thp avprment of
thp petition, gin" nothing at all to the
owners for the u. nf their ground.
Delay Basis for Pica
The writ of p,,'! intent sought
todnv by Miiiirice It. Saul, as attorney
for the Greenwich Co.. on the plea that
after prolonged correspondence no satis
factory arrangement had been made by
the government authorities, to pay for
the land or Its uc.
A voluminous correspondence with
the real estate service of the War De
partment is nppeuded to the petition.
It sets forth that n site of forty four
acres was requisitioned in July, WIS;
that subsequently the board of ap
praisers of'thp War Department offered
S'Jt.",40." for the land, that the real es
tate company refused this amount and
elpctod to take 75 per cent of it, ns
provided by law, and sue for the rest;
that subsequently confusion arose over
an apparent desire of the government
to take title to the ground, and that
finally an executive order halted work
on ull such projects as the terminal.
Deal Broken Off

matter of the purchase outright of two

forpiuan polled the jury and then retired

Miss Huff was in rourt when the jury

Y., today.
Todd Daniel, chlrf investigator here
for the Department of Justice, left for
New York 'early this morning to take
part In the conference of the army of
ficials in charge of the prosecution.
Ho Is expected to mum thin after
noon in time to appear Ht the hear
ing of the two Burns detectives arrested
on charges of tampering with govern
ment witucFscs in tho Bergdoll case.
The final preliminary to thn, nctual
court-martial of Bergdoll takes pluce
at Governors island tomorrow when the
seventy -five or more government wit
nesses from this city have been ordered
to report for a final golug over of tes
timony. Detectives in Custody
TIip prlvutc detectives who will ap
pear for n hearing this nfteruoon arc in
custody lib n result of the cleverness of
the Misses Gertrude nud Margaret
Uuane, 102'J North Sixtieth street, cm
tilovcs of the Overbrook draft board.
The detectives, Herman Fox Daviu
and Edward Dyer, were assigned the
part of "male vnmps" to gain the con
fidence of the eirls and then, cither by
threats or affeetiou, to get them to
testify In favor of Uergdoll at the court-
"'""tV twin sisters were "in on the
iob. nnj nlaved thp detectives on until
they committed themselves. Then the
arrests were made. At times tnc sisters
got great fun out of impersonating each
other without the detectives being any
the wiser.
Davis is under $10,000 bail and Dyer
under 55000. They face penalties of
three years in jnll or fines of 51000. or
both, according to Major Samuel O.
Wynne, head of the county detective
force.
The court-martial of Bergdoll. sched
uled to begin at 11 o'clock Thursday
morning, will not be delayed by habeas
corpus proceedings brought in his be
half by Harry Weinberger. New York
attorney.
Colonel ('. C. Cresson. judge advocate
of the court-martial, says the applica
tion for a writ is another attempt to
delay the military trial nnd will he
unsuccessful.
Doctor Klrby Will Testify
It was made known today that Dr.
F.llwood n. Klrby, noted Philadelphia
surgeon, would be added to the staff
of experts retained by the army to
testify at Bergdoll's court-martial.
Colonel Elmer A. Dean, chairman,
and hia fellow members of the army
lunacy board. Colonel James Draper
and Major A. A. Druper, completed
their work this morning, but refused to
divulge their findings in advance of the
sitting of the court.
It is rumored that the board found
Beigdoll sune. Their report will be
turned over to Lieutenant General Bul
lanl. commanding the department of
the east.
I Dr M. Gregory and Dr. Smith L'ly
Tcllisse, alienists employed by Mrs.
Beigdoll to investigate Grover's mental
condition, will report direct to her to
morrow. Todd Daniel said todav that hut for
. the statement made public Sunday bv
John P. Dwyer. of thp Ovcrbrook Draft
1 Board. Herman Fox Davis would have
led Department of Justice operatives
to the hiding place of Crwin Bergdoll
last Sunday.
"Mr. Dvvyer's statement forced our
hand, warrants hnd to be issued for
i Davis nnd Dyer, and the whole thing
I was quprred.' " Daniel nsserted.
He snid that Davis had bepn filed
i from thp Burns Detective Agency for
i "padding" expense nccounts, and had
I then betrayed to the Department of
! Justice confidence reposed in bin by
1 Mrs. Bergdoll. He was to have be
j trnyed Lrvvln Sunday, but was pre
vented ny tils arrest oaturoay nignt.
Mr. Dwyer would make no comment
on the Daniel statement. He left this

Philadelphia Shippers Declare
They Use N. Y. Harbor Bo
cause of Frequent Sailings
URGE HOG ISLAND PLAN
Philadelphia manufacturers do pot
ship their ocpan freight through the
port of New York because of prejudice
against the port of Philadelphia.
Thev do it bemuse lack of frequent
sailings from Philadelphia hag forced
them to seek n more expedient outlet
for their goods.
This, succinctly, wns the answer
made today by Philadelphia manu
facturers' oceon freight experts to the
criticism directed against them in the
statement of Samuel Rea. president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, made pub
lic yesterday.
Mr. flea hnd been nsked if it were
true thnt the Pennsylvania Ilnilrond was
placing obstacles In the wny of the
Philadelphia port's growth. In a letter
to Cliorles S. Calwell. president of the
Corn Exchnnge Bank, Mr. Ren stiid
the Pennsylvania Railroad was working
hand in glove with port officials, and
that the fault for the retarding of Phil
adelphia's harbor lay with the ship
pcrs themselves.
Prefer Philadelphia
"We are shipping through New 'iork
more than tnrougn i-niiauripiuu .',;-
causp nf tho greater frequency or bbii
i,iii frnm New York, and the consequent
crenter convenience offered by that
port," said It. K. Johnson, foreign
-ales manager of the Baldwin Locomo-
tivo Works.
"If Philadelphia is able to develop
ns manv conveniences to the shipper as
New York, wp would prefer to ship
through Philadelphia on account of the
freight expense whicn we vvouiu save.
"The whole thing seems to depend ou
Philadelphia beiug able to oucr snip
pers the frequency of sailings us well
as storage and lighterage facilities that
are at present offered in New York.
"If we hnd u shipment to South
America, for instance, it wouldn't pay
us to allow (lie shipment held in enrs
nnd to pay demurrage until n sailing
could be ohtaiued in this port when sail
ings may be obtained once or twice a
week in New York.
Facilities Arc Less
"That, in my opinion, represents the
gist of the problem Philadelphia has to
face in competing with New York.
"The cargo would bo forthcoming if
the shipping facilities such as arc now
planned for Hog Island could be guar
anteed. "Philadelphia doesn't hav? the same
facilities, aside from frequent sailings,
ns are found in New York. T urn sure
if this port would develop tho cargo
handling facilities that the number of
sailings would increase naturally and
Philadelphia would soon find itself in a
favorable competitive position."
J. W. Rnvvle, second vice president of
the J. O. Brill Co., which exported to
tuirt.v-Hlx countries before the war,
said that it was not a question of choice
with them as to which port they booked
their exports through.
"We find that S."i per cent of our
shipments havp to go through the port
of New York by reason of the fact thnt
no steamships come into Philadelphia
that could care for the lading,
"That's the only advantage. Wp
much prpfer shipping via Philadelphia."
