KLAN LEADER SURRENDERS IANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. &— This is Old Shep, who has done four hitches and a bit in the army, and for whom it is Beer Young Clarke, of Atlanta, feared taps may soon be sounded. * + * * * By Robert B. Bermann Old Shep, reveille dog, is ail- ing—and all Fort Lawton, from the colonel down to the lowliest buck, is going about on tiptoes today, to keep from disturbing his troubled slumbers. For O14 Shep ts dear to the heart of every man, woman and child on the army reservation. He's more than @ pet—he's an insttiution. Born in the army—tn the old 14th infantry—he's done four hitches and a bit (barracks equivalent, for some 14 years of service), and no more faithful, loyal soldier ever walked post at Lawton than Old Shep. The other day an aatomobile hit him—he's gone stone deaf in the service, and he didn’t hear it coming—and Injured him so se- verely that the officers and men at the fort are afraid he may never recover. He's being given the most tender care that love and money can pro- vide—but he has already passed the allotted span of canine life, and his hundreds of friends are not over hopeful. If he dies ho will be given as im-| pressive a funeral as tho he were a general—for he's not only loved; he's respected aa highly as tho he wore the silver stars of a division com mander on his collar. For 14 years he's army been in the and devotion to duty. It must not be understood that Old Shep is in the army in a merely figurative sense. He's not. He's a real soldier. Every morning during his 14 years of service he has arisen with the bugler and taken his post beside the cannon which fires the reveille salute to the fing. As the cannon is fired he turns his face to the flag, tail erect and motionless as the men standing at attention, and barks his respects to the colors. That's where he gets his name— he’s @ real revellle dog. In the evening, at sunset, he re peats the procedure. He's never missed a day—not even now, when he's next to death's door, | Tho he could barely lift one foot aft. | er another Friday morning, he hob: | bled over to the cannon a few min utes before reveille—and was stand ing at attention, feebly barking, as the flag was raised. That he Is actually paying homage to the flag is unques- tionable—for the reason that he never pays the slightest atten- tion when the cannon ts fired, except at reveille and retreat, When he's weil he hag # full pro gram of military routine for every day. He makes bis headquarters tn | two the guard house, and every hours he makes the rounds with the corporal, posting the guard.

So inhuman ;was the fiend’s action that it jis believed he must be a jmaniac. As he is known to | be armed, there is some possi- bility of more bloodshed if he is cornered. The fiend first appeared late last night, when Teresa O'Hara, 20, was Neighbor, Joe Dobson, 21. He helt them up at the point of a revolver in the woods } | «ll his victims bound and he demanded money. He t a small sum—but not the re- s of the little store which Mra. 50 celpt O'Hara conducts on the Olympia highway. Agnes had sensed some- thing wrong and had bid this money when she heard him coming tn. His failure to realize any large jamount seemed to infuriate the jflend. For the next four hours— |from 11 p. m. to 3 a. m.—he sub. mitted the helpless women and girls to a series of indignities of so brutal a nature that they beggar descrip- |tion. He played with his victims as a cat might play with a mouse—except that no member of the feline family, not even the most ferocious lion or tiger, could ever be half so revolt- ingly brutal as was this fiend. Some of the girls were fortunate enough to faint during the ordeal; but this relief was denied the others, and they looked on thru the night, half-crazed by fear and horror and pain. At last the fiend seemed to tire of his “sport,” and made ready to depart. But before he left he made the rounds again and, with jematic savagery, struck his victims, one by one, on their heads with the butt of his re volver, He knocked all of them uncon- scious—fracturing the skulls of Mrs, O'Hara and Eva—and then escaped. More than an hour elapsed before Teresa rccovered consciousness and was able to free herself. She ran to ja neighbor's house, half a mile away, and telephoned in the alarm, Sheriff Rog Hoge and Chief of Police Burton Trozell, with Dr, Ken- neth Partlow, rushed out from Olym- pia and found all of the fiend’s vic- tims still unconscious, except for Teresa, Mrs. O'Hara, Eva and Frances are not expected to recover. Dobson may also die: his head is beaten literally to a pulp. The others, while suffer: ing from no physical Injuries that | could result in their death, were sub- jected to such a mental strain that all are in a precarious condition, Posses were organized as soon as the officers arrived and have announced that they will not abandon their search until they have run down the fiend.

The council of the American Fed- eration of Labor is not vested with the power to call a general strike but leaders who have already gathered here stated that in this case leaders of individual unions would accept the recommendation of the council al most as a mandate. Gompers, in an interview with the United Press, charged President Harding with breaking faith with the striking shop workers. Accord- ing to Gompers, Mr. Harding prom- ised the rail workers to use the “big stick” to make the railroads accept the first Harding proposal for peace, which included unimpaired seniority rights for the workers. Mr. Harding turned the “big stick” into the Daugherty injunction, Gom- pers said. SAYS RAILWAY PEACE IS NEAR “Strike Practically Settled,” Says Chief CHICAGO, Sept. 8—"“The railroad strike is practically settled,” one of the best knowh executives of the Western group of railroads declared here today. This executive with several others conferred at length at the Chicago elub, The statement was made following this conference. “IT have been away for some time and perhaps am not in as close touch with the situation as I should be,” the executive said. “However, T cannot say more than this, The situ. ation still requires very careful and guarded handling. I must not en- danger peace by a premature state- ment and, above all, I must not be quoted.” COAL BILL PASSES WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. — The | Borah fact-finding coal commission | bill, providing for a sweeping Inves- tigation of all phases of the coal in- quiry, was passed by the senate to- day without a record vote
