APPEAL TO HARDING
FOR SON IS FLAW
BY MRS. BERGDOLL
Mother of Stacker Shaken by
Seizure of Property by
Government
"BETTER OFP IN RUSSIA"
IS HER BITTER COMPLAINT
Her stolid complacency broken down
completely because of the Government'
seizure of her slacker son's riches, Mrs.
Emma C. Bergdoll said todnv she will
nppcal personally to President Harding-Mrs.
Dcrgdoll left "Castle Dergdoll,"
Fifty-second street nnd Wynneficld
nvenue, nt 8:30 o'clock -this morning,
nnd nftcr n motor trip to Llnnerch,
where groceries were bought, she went
to Ilroomall for the week-end.
The motlwr of Grover Ilcrgdoll, the
drnft dodger and nrmy convict, now
n fugitive In Germany, mode no effort
to hide the crushing effect of the blow
dealt yesterday when Colonel Miller,
Alien Property Custodian, seized all
the Dcrgdoll real and pcrsonnl property
and sequestered their bank accounts.
"I would be better off In Itussln or
Germany than I am In this country,"
she said, ns she fingered an edge of her
blue coat. "It would not bo nny
harder for me there than here."
Contradicts Sworn Statements
As sllc talked slowly, she made nn
Implied denial oi pro-Germnnlsm,, de
clared the World ar was a money war
and not ono for democrncy and inci
dentally contradicted testimony she gave
under oath before the House committee
investigating Bergdoll's esenpe.
"God In heaven knows I nm Inno
cent," she went on. "He is the judge.
He knows I nm innocent. It is the
United States Government which is
cnusing the scandal, not me. Judge
Dickinson knows I am innocent. I
think the jury 'wns bribed."
She referred to her conviction irf the
Federal court hero for nidlng n deserter
for which n .$7000 fine wns vhnposed,
with prison as the alternative.
"How can I help front worrying
nbQiit my boy," she continued. Shobe
gan sobbing. "Whnt kind of n mother
would I be If I didn't stick up for my
boy? Whnt kind of a mother would
nny mother be If she didn't stick up
for her boy?
"They sny-1 nm pro-Germnn. For
twenty-four years I paid taxes on nn
estate In the suburbs of Wushfngton
which I offered tb the Government free
of charge at the beginning of the war
and they refused it.
Has "Slacker Bonus" Plan
"If nil the slackers paid $300 each
there would be enough money to make
all the soldiers happy."
Mrs. Bergdoll then repented a state
ment she has made many times before
thnt (Jrover Cleveland paid $300 for n
substitution in the draft In the Civil
Wnr.
"The war was a money war and was
nqt for democrncy," she continued. "It
wns England who forced us into It.
"The house nt Wynnefield belongs to
Grover, but the furniture In It is mine.
It Is worth nbout ?40,000 nnd they
cannot take that. I nm going to make
n direct nnncnl to Presidents Ilnrdlnc
to keep them from taking the house at
Wjnnefleld, which belongs to Grover.
"They sny my son is an undesirable.
If that is so why do they want to bring
him bac?"
Mrs. Bergdoll wns nsked If rIio fenrcd
the Government nguits would locate the
"pot of gold" she testified she burled
somewhere near the Wynnefield house.
"Ach, It's absurd. There's nothing

ships was put on this nfternoon. Tho
.iced nnd Blue is expected to keep the
chnmpionship in the East and send
Cnlifornln nnd Lelnnd Stanford back
with third or fourth plnce.
The sky was overcast with heavy
clouds, and it looked like rnln when tho
meet begnn. There wns no wind, the
trnck wns lightning fast, and if thn
moist clouds do not leak, some records
are expected to flop.
Woodrlng should come close to
smashing the 220-ynrd mark, and np
one would be surprised If Klrksey
should take u sock nt the figures In the ,
100 nr(Is. It wns reported this morn
ing thnt the California speedster has a
Inme hack, but that's only a report.
There is unusunl interest In the one
mile run. Pcnn students are backing
ItroSvn heavily against Campbell, of
Ynle, nnd It looks as if some of thd
jolly undergraduates would walk home.
All of their spnre chnngc has been
registered.
Eby, Brown nnd Mnxnm nro In good
shnpe todny. and Coach Bobcrtson Is
highly optimistic. This trio must come
through with flying colors to win tho
meet for Penn.
Itomig, of Pcnn Stntc, looks like n
sure winner in the two-mile run.
Before the meet begnn Morris Klrk
sey, Leland Stanford sprinter, said he
would not be able to run in the 220
ard dash, but It was doubtful whether
ho would be able to go through with the
100-ynrd sprint. Klrksey strained him
self early this spring while brond jump
ling out on the const. Yesterday the old
Injury came back nnd this will give
Woodrlng. of Syracuse, an easier tinfe
In the dashes.
Leconey, of Lafayette, and Lever, of
Pcnn, arc expected to give Woodrlng
an argument.
Eby, the brilliant leader of the
Qunkcr team, proved that ho was far
from a has-been in the quarter nnd
half-miles by winning his hent In both
events. The form displayed by Eby and
isrown ycstcniny leads the dope to
ward them. They simply ran away
from their fields, and had they been
pushed would have lowered their times
by at least a second, nnd mnybe more.
Brown has the task also of compet
ing in the smile this afternoon, nnd
while he Is not the fnvorlte, many
think ho will be the winner. Bob
Mnxnm, who finished second In tho
two-twenty and tho four-forty last
yenr, on the form ho displayed yester
day, should come mighty near to win
ning both events this nfternoon. He
displaced the second best times ln both
events, just n fifth of n second behind
the best time In the two events.
