Attention todnv, Hepretientntlve Flood,
Democrat, Vlrnlnln, Introducing n
resolution proposing to nsk Secretary
Rushes If certain statements attributed
to the Ambassador were "official
atterances" delivered by Instruction or
whether ther had been approved or
disapproved by the department.
Mr. 1'lood wanted to know partic
ularly whether Mr. Hnrvcy was
"voicing the sentiments and policies
of the United States Government"
when he wa quoted as having said
that "the declaration that a war be
tween England and the United States
has ceased to be conceivable Is no more
than an assumption." Or again when
he said:
"Not a few remain convinced that
yre sent our young soldlerR across to
live this kingdom, France and Italy.
That Is not n fact. We sent them
solely to save the United States of
.America, and most reluctantly and lag
ftrdly at that."
Also when ho said, "We were not too
proud to fight, whatever thnt may
mean. We were afraid not to fight."
"Indignation meetings will be held
Jn every city, town and hamlet In the
country" In protest against the sales
tax If It Is adopted, the Senate Finance
Committee was told today by Edward
F. McQrady, who said he was stating
for Samuel Oompcrs the position of
the American Federation of. Labor. The
Federation has taken a positive stand
gainst the proposed tax. Mr. McOrady
declared.
' "Five millions fo the now Idle and
many other millions of those whose
wages have been reduced from '2fi to 00
per cont nre now to be called on to
assume the added burden." he said.
"Big business is now attempting to
shift that burden of the war and the
cost of government from their shoulders
to the backs of working men and
women."
Mr. McGrady declared that tho
housewives would join with organized
labor In opposing the ales tnx and
added that r,their verdict wilt be final."
"Those who have to count their pen
nies will send up a mighty roar of pro
test." he said. "They will refuse to
submit to such taxation."
R. O. Wilson, chief of the tax di
vision of the American Mining Con
cresa. characterized the sales tax as an
attemt "to transpose the taxes on the
luxuries of the rich to th edlnner pail
of the poor a tax off the diamond shirt
stud and onto the bone collar Button.
"The real solution of the Federal tax
problem is lower taxes, not juggled
taxes," said lie.
. House Republicans will confer soon
to determine their course on the Long
worth resolution to make permanent
tariff duties proposed bv the Ways and
Meaus Committee effective pending pas
sage of the bill. Leaders decided today
It was advisable to ascertain sentiment
of the majority membership before
bringing up the resolution on the floor.
Representative Mondell, majority
leader, expressed approval of the Long
worth proposal, though he said it must
be determined whether the plan was
workable In this country as It has been
among nations with different legislative
aystems. The tariff bill Is expected
to be ready for the House by June IS.
As It may take a month or more to
get through both houses, Mr. Mondell
ald, the country Is in danger of being
flooded by imports during that period
unless steps are tokeu to prevent It,
which Is the object of the Longworth
resolution.

Mrs. Mary McOarvey, tho "Mysteri
ous Mary" mentioned In the murder
trial of Raymond W. Shuck, now In
the denthhouse at Trenton, emphatically
denied today she had ever called Shuck
her "sweetheart," but snid she
"thought" he gave her money.
The young uomnn, attractively
gowned and wenring n large lint adorned
with Imitation lllicn of the valley, was
grilled in Judge Johnson's court at
Media by counsel for her husband, Wil
liam McOarvey, who now has the cus
tody of their six-year-old child, Hilly.
Mrs. McOarvey brought action for
possession of the child and It was tills
phne of the couple's difficulties on re
hearing today. At Itn conclusion. Judge
Johnson Instructed the father to bring
Hilly Into court next Friday, when a
decision will be announced.
Hints at Compromise
The Judge stated plainly that no evi
dence had been produced to show that
Mrs. McOarvey was not a fit person to
have custody of the child. Ah Mc
Oarvey nlso had been grilled by his
wife's counsel, the Judge added thnt
nothing hnd been brought out to nhow
he was unworthy to have the child.
Howard M. Lutz. attorney for Mr.
McOarvey precipitated a legnl battle
when he asked permission to question
Mrs. McOarvey. Elgin E. Weest, her
counsel, objected strenuously, but was
over-ruled.
"Didn't you often sleep In a house at
Seventh street and GIrnrd avenue?" was
Mr. Lutz's opening nuestlnn.
"No. occasionally. Once In a while,
perhaps on Saturdays," Mrs. McOarvev
replied. She explained It was the home
of Mrs. Anna Hettinger, her sister. She
admitted Schuck hnd been at the house
but stated a third person always was
present. Schuck never spent the night
at the house, she declared.
Denies Endearing Terms
"Didn't Schuck cnll you swecthenrt
and didn't you cnll him sweetheart?"
"No. I did not. If I did. I don't
remember." Mrs. McOarvey replied.
Mr. Lntz asked If she had not told
a reporter and a detective that she liadJ
enneu snucK "sweetheart." Again she
made denial.
The husband's counsel then asked
Mrs. McOarvey If Shuck had bought
clothes for her. She declared he never
hnd. When Mr. Lutz asked If Shuck
had not bought her n fur coat, the wit
ness stated Shuck had bought the coat,
but It was understood (die wus to re
turn him the money for it.
"Did he ever give you money?"
"Thinks" She Oot Cosh
"If he did I don't remember, but I
think he did," she answered. "I think
that was the day after I bought my
coat."
Mr. McOarvey then was called to the
stand. During the proceedings husband
and wife never exchanged u word al
though Mrs. McOarvey caressed nilly as
he sat near his father.
Mr. West sought to show that Mc
Oarvey was addicted to the use of
liquor and thnt he had been dismissed
from a railroad position because of this
habit. He asked if McOarvey had not
been under the Influence of liquor yes
terday In a Market street department
store.
Mr. McOarvey admitted he drank oc
casionally, but never drank to excess,
he said.
"If you take one drink you're sup
posed to be under the influence," hti
remarked.
Replying to further questions he de
clared the only "spats" he had with
his wife were caused by his objection
to her "staying out all hours of the
night."
Enrly in the proceedings Mr Lutz
told tho Court of Ui? difficulties en
countered in trying to obtain witnessed
aralnst Airs. McOarvey. Home, he said
were friends who were with her at tho
"Lollypop" bungalow at Clemcnton.
The Camden County detectives who
inestigted the Paul murder, for which
Shuck was convicted, he said, wfcrc
forbidden to testify by Prosecutor Wol
verton because Shuck ho appealed for
a new tria).

from a banister on the second floor of
her home on Hell avenue Haysldc, L.
I. Her husband, who left the house a
short time before, returned to find her

Mr. Scott told the police his wife had
been despondent since April. 1018, when

in the Scott home. Recently she hod
suffered from fainting spells, but gnve no
indication that she contemplated taking
her life.
Mr. Scott returned nt .T o'clock in

parently in good spirits. She greeted
him affectionately and spoke of their
plan to attend a performance nt the
Helnsco Theatre tonight. At 5 o'clock
Mr. Scott left on a brief errand and
when he returned fifteen minutes later
the first sight that met his eyes Inside
the door was the body of his wife, sus
pended by a stout cord.
Mrs. Scott was formerly Louise Els

sister live there. She was prominent
on the stage up to twenty-five years ngo,
ond ployed bovs' parts, principally, in
the Chicago Opera House, under the

From a Bloff CorrttpotiAent
Wflshlngton. May 24. Charles J.
Braun told the House Committee In
vestigating tho escape of Orover Berg
doll, convicted draft evndcr of Phila
delphia, thnt he gave the fugltle slacker
"not one dollar." He Is u brother nf
Bcrgdoll, halng changed his name in
Mny. 1010.
''Why did I change my name?" he
exclaimed during his testimony. "Be
cause I could foresee years ago what
was coming."
In February, 1020, three months be
fore Bergdoll escaped, he said Thomas
E. Furey showed him a letter from
Bcrgdoll asking Furey to aid in IiIb es
cape. After rending the letter, he snid he
sent word to Bergdoll advising him not
to nttemnt to escane. He snld he also
urged Erwln Bergdoll, another slacker
brother, to surrender.
Braun said he did not know Orovcr
Bergdoll was coining home when he
left on his pot-of-gold expedition. Of
the pot of gold, he knew nothing, he
snld, until thu story appeared in the
newspapers.
Braun could not remember for what
reason he had withdrawn $1000 from
the bank Mnrch 2, 1020, and $4000
April 10, 1020. This was just before
Bergdoll escaped.
Under cross-examination Braun re
viewed how he had broken away from
the Bcrcdo'l fnmlly. Ho told the com
mittee Bcrgdoll and "Ike" Steelier, the
chauffeur who fled with the slacker,
were pro-Germans. As he was "pro
Ally," he said, he could not get along
with the fnmlly.
In a character sketch of his brother,
Braun described Bergdoll as nn Irre
sponsible, reckless and peculiar youth.
In some respects, ho said, his brother
was a genius. He said he was not
brave, although he wou'd take chances
In automobiles and airplanes.
"My theory In the mntter in thnt he
is not practical," Braun said of his
brother. "Ho uses poor Judgment.
