‘DAIRYMAN KILLED ASCAR HITS FENCE - John N. Souder, 68, Was| Head of Brunswick Co- operative Association. By the Associated Press. BRUNSWICK, Md., September 22.— ‘The automobile of John N. Souder, 68, | one of Frederick County's best-known dairymen, crashed into a fence yes- terday in the fog and killed him almost | instantly. | Souder was starting his morning | milk collections. He apparently lost | control of his machine at the top of | & hill. The car zig-zagged and piled into two fence posts. | Harry Hacobs, driving along the highway, saw Souder’s wrecked auto- | mobile. Souder's che¢st was crushed | and his skull fractured. ‘The accident occurred on the newly- | built road toward Point of Rocks. | Justice William H. Campbell and | + Officer G. E. Ambrose began an investi- | gation. | Souder was president of the Bruns- wick Co-operative Association and was an active member of the Farm Bureau. He was a member of the | Reformed Church. | Surviving him are his widow, the | former Miss Fannie Castle: two sons, | J. N.

Hazen, president of the Board of Dis- trict Commissioners, who extolled the spirit behind the encampment as “an example to the world that the United States is united, in peace and har- mony.” From one of their own number, John * M. Kline, commander of the Depart- ment of Potomac, the veterans heard the pledge that the members of the Grand Army “will stand shoulder to shoulder until just one of us is left to stand alone.” Kline recalled that this is the fifth encampment of the | G. A. R. in Washington, the others having been held in 1870, 1892, 1902 and 1915. He pointed out that al- though he had been unable to march in the first grand review, at the close of the Civil War, because of his phys- Last Survivor of THE EVENING Logan’s Unit Gets Portrait of His General i g 5 Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, daughter of Gen.

BY FRANCES LIDE. HE last surviving member of Gen. John A. Logan's com- | mand today is the proud possessor of a portrait pho- tograph of his general—and a smile from “one of the sweetest girls I ever knew." Hamilton Roberts of Murphysboro, IlL, strove for vainly long years ago when | he sat by the side of Mary Logan, the “‘general’s daughter.” in the parlor of the Logan house in Illinois. It | came as unexpectedly yesterday as did the portrait, the surprise gift of Mrs. | Mary Logan Tucker to the 92-year-old veteran as he attended his twentieth encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Mrs. Tucker sought out the veteran | at the Mayflower Hotel, unaware that she had ever met “Uncle Ham" who as a lad in his 'teens followed her father’s command through 16 major engagements of the Civil War. But the handsome ex-soldier, his white hair showing beneath his braid- | adorned hat, had a better memory. Time rolled back swiftly as he closed his eves for a second—but he wasn't | thinking of war. | “I sat by you one time before—in the parlor,” he recalled. “You were the general's daughter and you were | all over the place—the brightest thing I ever saw., I was scared to death.” “Scared!” Mrs. Tucker reproached him lightly. “Why, I probably thought, | being an Army man, you weren't afraid of anything. But I'm glad you remember me when I was a young | girl.” she added laughing. “Uncle Ham,” who, when he was | 16, enlisted as a bugle boy under Gen. Logan and rose to the rank of colonel, | standard -—Star Staff Photo. Roberts, for 20 years.

The daughter of the famed “Black Hawk"” was chosen also to present flowers to Comander in Chief Oley Nelson of the G. A. R. at a banquet given last night in his honor by the Women's Relief Corps, auxil- iary to the G. A. R. Today the Women's Relief Corps formally opened its convention at the Mayflower Hotel, with election of officers in the afternoon to be fol- lowed by presentation of a flag and to District Commissioner Melvin C.

Nelson declared that so far, the 1936 encampment has proved to be “one of the best that we have had in our life.” “When we think of that great Army that marched down Pennsylvania ave- | nue.” Nelson said, “we cannot help think at the same time of how that Army melted away into the different *States and territories and of how the boys in blue took up the thread of their citizenship, not as a victorious Army, but as common members of the communities in which they lived. “They took off their uniforms and put on hickory shirts and overalls and went to work to build up their communities and the country under & constitutional Government which is ' second to none in the world, Answer to Call. “And then, in later life, when the time of trial came to that Govern- | ment, they saw such a response to | the Nation's call in the Spanish War that the Government could not handle the volunteers of the North and of the South. When the greater test of the World War came, it showed that the constitutional form of Government had so established itself that it shall | live forever.” Mrs. Margaret Hopkins Worrell, member of the Commissioners’ ‘Women's Committee in charge of ar- rangements for the encampment, then unveiled a giant United States flag made of 30,000 paper carnations, each one of which was set in place bv Alice M. Burke, department chaplain of the local department of the Ladies of the G. A. R.
