Has Earache, Doctor Finds Cotton Used 70 Years Ago (By Associated Press) HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Aug. 18 When William Whetsell. 85. of this city, went to a physician here today, suffering from earache, it was found that cotton which had been nlaced in his ear when he was a child was the cause of the trouble. The cotton had been in his ear for 70 years, he said. ANSELL, MASTER (Continued from Page One.) his pretense of prosecution of Ccl Hunt," tried by court martial In connection with the Bergdoll scandal. No reference to Cresson was made by the minority. Major Bruce R. Campbell, accused by Bergdoll's mother of having accepted $5,000 to help obtain freedom for the prisoner, was exonerated by the majority. The minority reported that there was no evidence that Camp-' bell was in any way connected with the escape, but assumed the proper military authorities would "Institute such investigation as may be necessary to the end that Campbell may be exonerated, if not found guilty. Recommend Dismissal Dismissal from the department of Justice of Earl B. Wood, in charge of correspondence in the Bergdoll case, for failure to transmit to the war department warning from a special agent that the prisoner was planning to escape, was recommended by the majority. Major General Peter C. Harris, adjutant general of tho army, who authorized Hunt to send Bergdoll under guard to the Maryland mountains to search for the gold, was charged by the majority with "primary responsibility for the situation which made possible the escape." Asserting that General Harris did not attempt to evade responsibility, the minority held there was "no ques'tion of improper motive on his part", adding it was appaient "his mind was readily over come by the strong statement of An sell", that he would stand responsible for safe return of the prisoner. The minority criticized Generad Harris for suggesting to Hunt, Instead of or dering that a commissioned officer ac company the expedition. Fix Responsibility. The majority reported that the es cape "was the direct result of the proposition submitted by Ansell to General Harris" and that "even if An sell did not conceive the plan, he presented It and pursued it to its accomplishment." Taking up alleged connection with the Bergdoll case of former Judge John W. Wescott, one time Attorney General of New Jersey, the Majority held it unimportant whether he actually had legally represented Bergdoll. The report declared "it was clear" that Ansell undertook to use Judge Wescott's name for the purpose of bringing to bear a political influence "upon anybody in the then administration who might be needed to make sure of the gold hunt release, which at last spelled Bergdoll's escape. The Majority report commended the

seizure of the Bergdoll's escape by Alien property custodian Miller and urged that he make every effort to produce $105,000 in gold, obtained by Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll, from the treasury department and alleged to have been buried on her farm, near Philadelphia. This was put in at the insistence of Representative Luhring, who declared the withdrawal of the gold was the foundation stone of the whole conspiracy.

Claim No Bribes The minority held that while "un questionably a conspiracy existed to effect the escape of Bergdoll," it did not find that any officer "received any bribe or was approached with a view to bribery," but that the conspiracy was participated in by G rover Bergdoll, the late D. Clarence Gibboney. a Philadelphia lawyer; James E. Romig, formerly a Philadelphia magistrate and friend of the Bergdoll family; Ike Stecher. the Bergdoll chauffeur, and "possibly Mrs. Berg doll." On this point the majority declared that Gibboney and the Bergdoll group conspired to effect the Elacker's release, "but in order to successfully accomplish it was absolutely necessary to have the assistance of Ansell and Bailey (Edward S. Bailey, his law partner), and CoL Hunt" for "without the aid of these latter, Bergdoll could not have left Governor's Island." "From the moment Bergdoll left Governor's Island and the conditions surrounding him," said the minority, "it became apparent he saw he could depart when ready and without vio lence. That such a condition existed is a source of scandal. Less than or dinary precautions to prevent escape were usual." Point Out Conspiracy "It seems," said the majority, "that every happening whether of act or ommission resulted in Bergdolls benefit and not one to his real detriment" Ool. Hunt, "within the next two months after he participated so criminally in the escape," said the majority, was promoted and retired. "An outraged nation," it added, "has the right to demand that Col. Hunt's annuity be discontinued." "Anybody who has seen and heard all of those associated, directly or indirectly with the plan and manner of Bergdoll's escape," said the majority report, "not only must recognize Ansel was the master mind of them all but also as their dominating and controlling spirit." Claim Disadvantage. The minority declared that the escape was "seriously to Ansell's pecuniary disadvantage" in preventing him from obtaining a larger fee for ap pealing a courtmartiat sentence ana added: "But the letter and personal pres sure upon his former associate. General Harris, were a very important factor in gaining permission for the trip and the fact that Ansell did nothing to carry out his guaranty that Bergdoll should not get away undoubtedly contributed to the escape." After reports had been presented Ansell's firm issued a statement attacking Representatives Johnson, Flood and Luhring, saying they accepted the report of the majority of Republicans of the committee in the finding that their connection with the case was "innocent of any wrong and thatour motives were proper."

PEACE TERMS (Continued from Page One.) yesterday, says it suggests a deadlock, but adds that if this Is true the time has come to refer the question to the people, and if it is possible to make any advance in the negotiations such advance should be made at once. LONDON, Aug. IS Members of the British cabinet and leaders in both houses of parliament are" keeping in close touch with developments in" Dublin, where the Irish parliament is in session. Mr. Lloyd George was In conference with his ministers for nearly two hours yesterday and it was understood that the Irish situation was the principal subject under consideration. The present session of the British parliament is to end tomorrow and it seems probable that in that brief interval, no decisive step can be taken regarding Ireland. In any case, however, it is believed the King's speech in proroguing parliament will be largely concerned with Irish affairs.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

There will be great doings in Union county on Saturday, August 20. The; scene of one of the largest gatherings : ever assembled down that way Is a grove just outside of town. This is to be an all-wool farm picnic, with folks from town present to have a good time. Nobody barred. Grounds are open to all comers, even from Ohio or Oregon. But be sure to carry generous lunch baskets; you might generate a full-grown appetite. Every real picnic is an all-day affair, for why make two bites of a cherr7 Let joy be unconfined from morn till dewey eve. If we could peel off and discard 40 or 50 years, say, iwe surely would be one of the gayest and most sprightly m tnat union county grove on Saturday. But there will not only be iooa to eat but food for thought in large supply, for the gray heads, in that grove on the coming happy occasion. Three set speeches are programmed. James K. Mason, of Milton, will talk of the grain marketing plan at 10:30. John J. Brown, of Rockport and the state buildinz at Indianapolis, will address the folks in the afternoon, as also will Maurice Douglass, of Flat Rock. Ind. These gentlemen are all well known federationists, the later two named now being identified with the state government. Certainly there will be games and contests. The children have not been forgotten. The Connersville band will add music and joy to the occasion and there will be family and friendly ret : iv. .. v I suro arriva .i.- ...in v ! I unions, n you are guiug uiiau j uc tv, awoc- n win h an animated scene and the following hour, in the heart of a summer's day, will exemjplify what it means to live in a land . of peace and plenty, in the year, 1921. Export Corn Prospects. The indications favor a large export movement of corn within the next few months. Corn can be used to good advantage in feeding the starving Russians and the Russian relief committee is expected to take a great deal of it. Corn is to be used largely in Germany, and Sweden is planning to import DUROG JERSEY HOG BREEDERS END TOUR; SCHWAB TALKS AGAIN The results of crossing Durocs and Poland Chinas for producing feeder hogs, of proper feeding to produce breeding stock, how to select sows for brood sows, with inspection of sever-1 examples of fine herds of Duroc Jerseys, filled the day's program for the Duroc Jersey Hog Breeders association, during the tour of the western part of the county, Wednesday. Prof. Schwab accompanied the tour again, and gave a demonstration ai the Bent Wilson farm of the proper' method of selecting brood sows, em phasizing the necessity of feminine characteristics, with a head lacking in coarseness, deep body, true to type, with a feminine disposition. Picnic Dinner Served. A picnic dinner was eaten at the Bent Wilson farm, and in addition the members of the tour picked up several watermelons along the road which served to make the trip still more en joyable. The tour extended as far south as within two miles of Connersville to the Wilbur Robinson farm. Returning from these, the Walter Doddridge and the Walter Burgess farms were also visited. INDIANA DAIRYMEN HOLD STATE MEETING; STAGE MOCK FUNERAL LEBANON, Ind., Aug. 17. A crowd estimated at 10,000 attended the annual summer field meeting of the Indiana state Dairv association which M.as bel(i bere yesterday. It was the biceest agricultural event ever held in Boone county and attracted hundreds from all - parts of the state, everv county near here sending dele gations of from 150 . to 400. The af-J fair was held in Memorial parK. Zi nmmn was eiven The morning program as given over to judging contests for teams from surrounding counties which will compete in contests at the state fair, and judging of dairy animals. Practically $1,000 was distributed In prizes among owners of the 60 Guernseys, 23 Jerseys and 19 Holsteins in the show. Bury "Scrub" Bull W. L. Hanning, of Evansville, president of the state dairy body, presided at the afternoon meeting, which was featured by an address by Prof. G. I. Christie, director of the agricultural experiment station at Purdue university, and the funeral of a "scrub" bull. The Rev. Frank Briggs, pastor of the Methodist church here, read the invocation at the mock ceremony, after a hearse, drawn by a pair of mules, containing the r ough box, draped in black and labeled the "scrub' bull, had paraded across the baseball grounds. A party of mourners followed the hearse. W. H. Senoux. of Brookvllle, banker and dairyman, preached the funeral oration.

many cargoes which will find their way into Russia. The German government Is import-1 ing com and selling it to farmers in exchange for their wheat Corn is human food, stock feed and fats in Germany, as the corn can be ground into meal to mix with oats or other

substitutes. It can be made into grits and used in brewing beer, and the corn oil extracted and used for fats. Foreigners will be able to get the best corn at a comparatively low- price this year and it is hoped they will be able to buy according to their needs. Eggs, and More Eggs. Half a million eggs since May is the record on 207 Ohio farms which have co-operated with extension workers of Ohio State University in demonstrating what can be done by close culling and by feeding balanced rations, rich in animal protein. During a seven-month period, the average hen on these demonstration farms has laid SO eggs. The State average Is only G8 eggs in 12 months. Between November and June the demonstration flocks produced almost two million eggs. In all, 16 carloads of eggs have been laid, say poultry extension workers, who have just compiled, the returns. The value of the ' I eggs is set at $9S,3S6 Phosphates Increase Profits. The acre-yield of wheat on the Willow Springs' experiment field this year was increased 9 bushels by the use of 175 pounds of acid phosphate per acre, according to F. L. Duley of the Mis souri College of Agriculture. With "J. increase would be worth $8.10. If acid phosphate is worth $22, a ton the cost of soil treatment for one acre would i be $1.93.
