Army Must Try
Bergdoll, Rules
Federal Court
Pr?ner Was Regularly In?
ducted Into Service, Says
Judge; May Affect Cases
of 170,000 Draft Evaders
CaUed "Morbid Coward"
Lawyer to Ask Supreme
f'.egal Decision; Military
Proceedings On To-day
The court-martial of Grovcr C. Berg*
doll, Philadelphia draft dodger, will
continue to-day. Judge Learned Hand,
in tho Federal District Court, decided
yesterday in connection with a habeas
corpus writ that Bergdoll had been
regularly inducted into the military
service of the Unuited States, and held
that his trial by court-martial was
proper. Counsel for Bergdoll had con?
tended that his trial should take place
b<*foro a civil court, on the charge of
draft evasion, instead of the present
charge of desertion.
The decision is expected to create a
precedent for the 170,000 other draft
dodgers who refused to answer the
summons of the government at the out?
break of the war. The maximum pen?
alty for desertion, according to a re?
cent executive order, is imprisonment
for eighteen months, while that for
evasion of the draft is one year.
Bergdoll Remains Unmoved
Bergdoll, who was in court with his
mother, under the eyes of two enlisted
men with side arms, who brought him
from (iovernor's Island, gave no evi?
dence of concern at the decision. He
played with a small black mustache
during arguments of his counsel, and
later busied himself in writing notes
and sending them to his lawyers. When
Judge Hand was announcing his de?
cision, he crushed a note in his hand,
and was still holding the wadded paper,
when he was handcuffed to be taken
back to Governor's Island. At his de?
parture, his. mother, who displayed no
emotion, told him that she would be on
hand at the court-martial at 10 o'clock
this morning.
In dismissing the motion for Berg
doll's trial by civil court, Judge Hand
said that the application was more des?
titute of merit than almost uny ever
brought before him. Basing his de?
cision on trfe petition submitted for
the habeas corpus writ, which by
Bergdoll was brought into court, Judge
Hand declared that Bergdoll was
shown by the petition to have regis?
tered for the draft and later to have
absented himself from the physical
examination, and to have remained in
hiding for a long period.
Ile held that induction had been
automatically effected by a notice sent
to Bergdoll in August, 1918, by the ad?
jutant general's department, in which
Bergdoll was ordered to appear with?
in ten days. The fact that Bergdoll
had absconded and did not receive the
notico Judge Hand held to be incon
Bequential.
Morbid Coward, Says Judge
"The only conceivable argument ad?
vanced is that Bergdoll may have been
incapable of ordinary judgment," Judge
Hand declared. "From the allegations
it appears, however, that the man was
a morbid coward. He may have some
form of mental derangement, but that
does not change the power of the au?
thorities to induct him. In that case
his derangement should have been
brought before the local board, as it
is a consideration which does not
affect the jurisdiction of the court
martial."
Harry Weinberger, counsel for Berg?
doll, requested that his client be
placed in the custody of the United
States ?Marshal for this district pend?
ing his appeal to the United States
Supreme Court, but Judge Hand denied
the motion. Weinberger announced
afterward that he would take the case
to the Supreme Court to-day.
Weinberger, in his argument,
claimed that a civil trial by jury was
provided for in draft evasion cases,
and that only upon conviction was a
man inducted into military service,
when a court martial would have
jurisdiction. He said that efforts of
the government to induct a person
into military service could be defeated
if a man failed to register or return
a questionnaire.
Weinberger referred to Mrs. Berg?
doll on one occasion. He said that
Lieutenant Colonel C. C. Cresson,
court-martial judgt advocate, assist?
ing Federal District Attorney Francis
G. Caffey in opposing Bergdoll's motion,
had refused to let her son stay in the
city while waiting for the hearing yes?
terday afternoon after Judge Hand had
put it over from the morning.
"Put the handcuffs on him and take
him back to Governor's Island," Wein?
berger quoted Cresson as saying.
Weinberger raised a point that the
name of F. D. Berry, adjutant general,
had been made with a rubber stamp
on the notice sent to Bergdoll when
the regulations called for its being
made with pen and ink. "Such a con?
tention is too trivial to be noticed,"
Judge Hand declared.
Mrs. Shouts'? Appeal Heard
Asks Reversal of Decision Oust?
ing Her as Administratrix
The Appellate Divisjon heard argu?
ment yesterday on the appeal of Mrs.
Milla D. Shonts, widow of Theodore P.
Shouts, president of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company, from the de?
cision of former Surrogate Fowler, re?
voking letters of administration
cranted her on the estate of Mr.
Shonts.
When Mrs. Shonts filed her petition
to be appointed administratrix the will
?>f Mr. Shonts, in which he left the
bulk of his estate to his friend, Mrs.
Amanda C. Thomas, had not yet been
filed. In asking for the revocation of
?he letters granted to Mrs. Shonts the
executors of the will alleged that she
had deceived the court into believing
that her husband had not left a will,
? whereas, it, was alleged, she had seen
a copy of the document. Mr. Fowler
thereupon appointed the Guaranty
Trust Company as temporary adminis?
trator. Mrs. Shonts is contesting the
will.

Girl Freshman Held Captive
Many Hour& by Sophomores
Elsie Kanowitz, Pretty and Popular, "Disciplined"
few Violating Rule Against Flirting; Mother
Appeals to College Authorities in Vain
Taking a leaf out of the stories they
had read of college men's doings, girl
sophomores In the Washington^ Square
College of New York University* late
Thursday afternoon, gagged and blind?
folded Elsie Kanowitz? a freshman
charged with violating rules of conduct
laid down for such, bundled her into
a waiting taxicab, drove her to a board?
ing house and kept her there in a bath?
robe a prisoner for eighteen hours.
Sho was released yesterday morning,
after her mother, Mrs. I. Kanowitz, of
754 West 180th Street, had appealed in
vain to the university authorities to
rescue her daughter from her unusual
plight.
The rule of freshman "co-ed." con?
duct which Miss Kanowitz is charged
with having violated is the fourth of a
series entitled "Girls' Freshman Rules,"
which went into effect at New York
University at the beginning of the
semester. It reads as follows:
"Thou shalt not converse with mem?
bers of the male sex in the corridors,
halls or classrooms."
Pretty and Popular
Although the names of the xglrl
sophomores partakjng in the kidnap?
ing remained a seetet, the story of
what occurred, as divulged by their
classmates, is something to this ef?
fect:
Miss Kanowitz, who is undeniably
pretty, has for some time aroused tho
ire of the sophomores by her fla?
grant refusal to abide by the rulo
quoted above. She was popular, and
coming into and going out of classes
she was generally to be seen in the
company of a masculine escort, with
whom she chatted gayly and apparent?
ly ciuite oblivious to the rule she
thereby violated.
Finally the sophomores decided on
action. They sent a messenger to the
Two Ships Creep
In Through Fog;
Third Is Held Up
French Sculptor Who Made
$11,000 Statue of Marine
at Belleau Wood Arrives
Aboard Liner La Tourajjofe
Three westbound transatlantic liners
were held off Sandy Hook yesterday by
a tenacious fog that settled on the
harbor soon after midnight. Several
times the mist cleared in patches and
permitted two of the vessels to come
to dock.
The first to break through was the
French liner La Touraine from Havre.
She was followed by the Fabre liner
Canada, from Marseilles, but the Cun
arder Royal George, from Liverpool,
was held off the Hook, and will not
dock until this morning.
On the Touraine came Raphael Peyre,
a French sculptor, who made a statue
which is celled "Crusading for Right"
and represents a United States marine
in action. The statue, which was pur?
chased for $11,000 by the marines who !
fought in France, is still abroad, and
may be erected in Belleau Wood, where ;
the marines made their great fight
against the Germans.
Colonel Henry C. Davis, U. S. M. C,
with a detachment of Marines met the
sculptor of the French Line pier and
escorted him and his family to the
Hotel Lafayette.
This is M. Peyre's first visit to this
country. He brought with him thir?
teen small bronze figures which he
will exhibit in this city.
Another traveler on the Touraine
was Milton L. Schmitt, of San Fran?
cisco, who has been abroad two years
and is interested in the erection in
Paris of a large building to be known
us the "World Market." The structure
which is to cover twelve acres on a
bank of tho Seine will cost 160,000,000
francs. Mr. Schmitt returned to Amer?
ica to lay before American manu?
facturers and exporters a plan for
leasing space in the big commercial
structure. France, he said, is bound
to be the ideal center for a world"
mart.^
Also on the Touraine was Professor
Jacques Hadamard, who holds the chair
of analytical mechanics at the Ecole
Polytechnique, who is on his way to
Central America. On his return he will
lecture at Yale University.
Skirts To Be Shorter
A score of men and women buyers
who returned on the vessel said that
somber apparel will give way to gay
colored materials this year and that
skirts will be as short as, or perhaps
shorter than, the present fashion pre?
scribes, i
The vessel brought over a bottle
filled with water from the River
Marne. It is to be used by Mrs. New?
ton D. Baker, wife of the Secretary of
War, in naming the new United States
transport Marne, which is soon to bo
launched at the Hog Island shipyards
in Philadelphia.
Among the passengers on the Canada
were Dr. Alberta F. Moffett Green, of
Kansas City, who had been in charge
of a Red Cross station in northern Ser?
bia; Father Louis Ducrocq, who is to
become rector of a parish in New Or?
leans, and W. Duval Brown, former
American Consul at Palermo.

"Shame" Court Calls Arrest
Lawyer Who Struck Detective
After Raid Discharged
Robert Moore, fifty years old, a law?
yer, of 137 West Ninety-seventh Street,
was discharged in Jefferson Market
court yesterday on a charge of assatilt
ing Detective William Haake, of the
3d Inspection District, during a raid
on the Mutual Independent Democratic
Club, 28 West Thirty-second Street,
February 7.
"It Is a shame the police are allowed
to make such arrests," Magistrate Max
Lcvine commented.
Clark Jordan, attorney for Moore,
brought out in cross-examination the
admission from Haake that he also had
struck Moore. Moore was not arrested
in the club, where the police alleged
gambling was in progress, but later
when he appeared at the West Thir?
tieth Street station to give bail for
fellow members of the club.
The tewenty men taken in the raid
were discharged in court Feltfruary 8.

Jury Awards Boy $15,000
A jury in Justice McAvoy's part of
the Bronx Supreme Court yesterday
returned a verdict for $15,000 in favor
of ten-year-old Dante Gianettino, of
505 East 184th Street, and against Max
Weiss, owner of an apartment house
at 375 East 184th Street, the janitor
of which threw a stick at a crowd of
boys and caused the loss of Dante's eye.
classroom In which Professor Whipple
was conducting a course in eBsay
writing on the ninth floor of the
N. Y. U. building at Washington
Square, with the announcement that
Miss Kanowitz was watted by the
dean in the office, situated on the
eighth floor.
The victim went, unsuspecting. As
sh? opened the door into the eighth
floor corridor seven husjiy pairs of
feminine arms seized her, stuffed hand?
kerchiefs into her mouth and wound
bandages around her eyes. Then she
was transferred in a jiffy into a wait?
ing taxicab. The blinds of the cab
were draw a.
Mother Starts Search
After a lengthy journey she found
herself in a small hall bedroom amid
strange surroundings. Her captors,
who wore masks at this stage of the
proceeding, took the bandages off her
eyes and the gag out of her mouth,
and then roughly undressed her and
substituted a bathrobe for her clothes,
which they concealed. Then her hair
was loosened and put up in long braids.
The numerals, of the sophomore class
were painted in iodine on her forehead.
When evening approached the sopho?
mores began to get conscience stricken
and finally decided to telephone their
prisoner's mother. When they asked
Miss Kanowitz whether she had any
message for her parent, she told them:
"Say to my mother that I'm happy
and having a fine time."
When Mrs. Kanowitz was apprised
of her daughter's situation, she hurried |
to the university, but the authorities, !
after investigation, told her they were
helpless in the circumstances, the i
sophomores whom they called before
them all pleading ignorance of the af?
fair. Yesterday about noon Miss Kano- ?
witz was released, with the admonition j
that she heed the "freshman rules"
hereafter herself and impress upon her '
classmates the necessity of strict con- j
formance with their mandates.
Pier Leased by City
For $35,000 Brings I
$162,343 a Year j
Steel Products Company !
in 1919 Used Brooklyn
Dock as Wharfage for
Eighteen Steamship Lines
The United States Steel Products
Company made $162,343 in 1919 on a
pier at the foot of Twenty-ninth Street,
Brooklyn, which it leased from the city
for $35,000 a year, Commissioner of Ac?
counts Hirshfield disclosed yesterday,
in a report to Mayor Hylan.
Hirshfield said the pier had been
leased for ten years, beginning Septem?
ber 16, 1916, with renewal privileges for
two succeeding ten-year periods at $38,
500 and $42,350 annual rental respec?
tively.
October 22, 1919, the Commissioner
of Docks asked the Mayor to examine
into the right of the Overseas Shipping;
Company, of 27 William Street, to col?
lect wharfage at the pier. The Com?
missioner of Docks questioned the
validity of a sub-lease given this latter
concern by the United States Steel
Products Company. The Commissioner
of Accounts investigated.
He made public yesterday the testi?
mony given before him by officials and
employees of both companies. It ap?
peared that the lessee i -.ed the wharf?
age rates, which were collected by the
sub-lessee, acting as agent; that the
net profits for 1919 were $162,343, and
that efehteen steamship lines, only
three of which were controlled by the
United States Steel Products Company,
used the pier.
Contracts were signed yesterday for
beginning construction on the $18,000,
000 Stat.en Island pier project, the
initial step in the proposed harbor im?
provement to cost $100,000,000.
The contracts executed yesterday are
for Piers 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 for an
outlay of $6,738,148. The estimated
cost of the six piers remaining to be
contracted for is $10,282,089.
Commissioner of Docks Hulbert has
been working on the plans since he
took office, in 1917. The work has been
divided fnto two sections to facilitate
management during construction. The
dredging contract yesterday was let to
the Morris Cummings Dredging Com?
pany for $628,800. The piers and sub?
structures are to be built by the Terry
& Tench Company, Inc., for $3,575,950. ,
The entire cost of the Staten Island !
piers is to be derived from rentals to j
lessees at the rate of 7V_ per cent a |
year, permitting amortization at the i
end of thirty years, when the city will I
be in possession of them.

In 6Few Hours/
Says Dooling
Assistant Prosecutor Asserts
Fugitive Will Be Brought
Back by N.Y. Police; Loss
of $12,000,000 Denied
'Nicky' Reported Located
Surety Company Official
Hears He Is Not Far
Away; Detectives Found
Assistant District Attorney John T.
Dooling said again last night that Jules
W. Arnstein would be brought into New
York by Police Department detectives
within u few hours.
"You will have a chance to see Arn?
stein right here in the District Attor?
ney's office before many hours have
passed," Mr. Dooling said to newspaper
men.
Bernard J. McGinn, head of the claim
department of the American Surety
Company, announced that when Eugene
F. McGeo and Detective Sergeants
Gegan, Mayer and Brown left here last
Friday night with the supposed inten?
tion of meeting Arnstein tho four men
were followed by one of the company's
detectives.
Mr. McGinn said he had received a
telephono call from this detective, who
said he had located not only Arnstein,
but also McGee and'the three New
York detectives about whom consider?
able anxiety has been felt in official
circles here. Mr. McGinn declined to
name the town in which his detective
had located the quartet, but said that it
was not more than ten hours from New
York.
Refuses to Arrest Man
The American Surety Company's de?
tective, according to Mr, McGinn, in?
formed the Chief of Police of the city in
which he made his discovery and jug
gested to him in view of _ the accusa?
tions against ?"Nicky" it might be a good
idea to arrest him. He also pointed out
to the chief that the three detectives
were married men, and that their fam?
ilies had been caused considerable con?
cern' by their long absence.
The chief, it appears, had been too
busy reading the latest news from the
baseball training camps to devote his at?
tention to the Arnstein case and refused
Vj make an arrest unless requested to do
so by the District Attorney in New
York.
This situation was communicated to
Mr. McGinn by the detective, and the
former called up Mr. Dooling and gave
him the full particulars, he said.
When questioned about this angle of
the Arnstein search, Mr. Dooling raoie
lyreiterated his former statement that
"Nicky" would be brought in within
a few hours. He admitted that he had
had several telephone conversations
with Mr. McGinn, and said that the
American Surety Company and its de?
tective had rendered valuable assist?
ance in the bond the.ft cases, but he
refused to say whether he had requested
any chief of police to arrest Arnstein
and show tho three detectives now to
get back to New York. He also refused
to speculate upon "Nicky's" probable
whereabouts.
$12,000,000 Total Denied
Mr. Dooling denied that he had said
that the security thefts reported in the
financial district would totat $12,000,
000.
"1 would need an adding machine
and a great deal of time to figure up
the aggregate bond losses," said Mt.
Dooling. "I have never made any at?
tempt even to approximate the total.
I have given out no figures in this con?
nection. I will say, however, that $12,
000,000 is much too high."
Officials in a position to know have
said that the bond thefts would not
fxceed $3,000,000. At the office of the
National Security Company and the
American Surety Company it was said
that the published estimates of the
bond losses were too high. While ro
specific figures were available, Mr.
McGinn said that the American Surety's
losses would not reach $1,000,000. W.
J. Griffin, vice-president of the National
Security, was also inclined to believe
the estimates were extravagant.
Mr. Griffin gave out the following Hit
of losses covered by his company
which have occurred since the organ?
ized bond thefts began:
Whitney ?fe Co., $178,000, taken by
the messenger Binkowitz; Prince ?fe
Co., $40,000, involving the messenger
Teeman; Levinson ?fe Co., $1-11,000, in j
which the messenger Jablowsky was ;
concerned, and Hartzhorn ?fe Battelle,
$38,000.
Much of Loss Recovered
Of the Levinson ?fe Co. loss, Mr. Grlf
fin pointed out, $72,000 has been recov
ere??, and the full amount recovered
will eventually reach $101,000. The
loss suffered by Hartzhorn ?fe Battelle,
he said, has been wholly recovered.
The total losses involved in the rob?
beries, therefore, Mr. Griffin said, is
$258,000. The National Surety Com?
pany, Mr. Griffin asserted, has suffered
no other outstanding losses within the
p?;riod concerned. Other large surety
companies have failed to report any
surprisingly large losses within the
last four months.
At the office of the National Surety
Company it was stated that a d?finit..'
movement is under way among the
surety companies to prevail upon the
governors of the Nev?r York Stock Ex?
change to adopt a scheme of a clearing
house for bond transactions. The
method would be largely patterned on
the clearing house maintained by the
banks. Bonds would be carried to the
clearing house at certain times of the
day only, under heavy guard. No boys
would be employed. The messengers
would consist entirely of veterans of
',ie Police Department and men of de?
tective experience. The expense would
be borne cooperatively by the houses?
benefiting by tho plan.

Music
"Music develops its own standards,"
says The Tribune.
"There Is only one *s\ay to develop taste In
any art. and that is by saturating one'?
in It. To learn rules, or bear an occasional
concert, or memorize a few pieces on a piano
after years of disagreeable endear *.
to become musical. The beauty of ?!..? p ..*.??:
piano and the talking* machine artistically
speaking vas that they laid ?owr. no rule?
whatever. They simply filled the American
home with music?good, bad. indifferent, as
the taste of ttie owner elected. 'Jas*.'. : ?
not remain stationary, however. There u . |
be no progress in any art if it did. Music
develops it? own standards; it improves <-hr^,
.omprehension, taste, as it goes along."
N. Y. Tribune, Feb. 26,
There WILL be
Easter Music in YOUR
home?
will there not?
It is not too early to set about seeing
what piano, player-piano or Reproduc?
ing piano you would prefer to have in
your home. For MUSIC is so vital a
thing, exceeding care should be taken
to make sure you get an instrument that
will produce MUSIC?not merely sound.
And the kind of music YOU want?soft
and sweet, or brilliant and vibrant. You
cannot decide wisely unless you compare
widely.
We have more than NINETY makes,
styles, sizes and grades of pianos, play?
er-pianos and Reproducing pianos, from
$395 to $3,250.
The finest of the whole wonderful col?
lection?finest anywhere, we think?is
the CHICKERING-AMPICO Reproduc?
ing Piano. The AMPICO gives the
music. The Chickering gives the tone.
More than a hundred great pianists
have played for the AMPICO?played
music such as only great pianists can
play. And the AMPICO reproduces it
all without any change, with no loss of
expression or individuality, in the inde?
scribably lovely tone of the COCKER?
ING piano.
One of the characters in Arnold Ben?
nett's great play, "Sacred and Profane
Love," is a famous pianist, to whose
genius the capitals of the world have
paid homage. The actor who portrays
this character portrays it well?splen?
didly. But he cannot play the piano.
And in the first scene he MUST play it
?play it as the character he represents
would have played it. How is it done?
. . . You have guessed right. Such
a scene could not have been put on, prop?
erly, without the AMPICO.
Between the CHICKERING -AM?
PICO (one style, the best, at $3,250)
and the sweet little upright piano at
$395, there are more than 90 choices for
you here, in instruments that produce
goocLmusic. In all the country there is
no choice so great, no such certainty of
getting just what you want for your
home.
