Thirteenth street, he was held up by
three masked highwaymen on the
Carter lake boulevard near Swift's
ice house. -Mr. Gunning was in an
automobile party given by the mo
vie men.
When the three bandits found
nothing valuable in his pockets,
tney took oft one ot his shoes. Mr,
V 1 i i
uunning naa quicwy concealed tive
$108 bills in the other. "Guess
there's nothing in that one," one of
the highwaymen said.
Mr. Thomas lost $12, Mr. Watts
f 19, Mr. Hotah $15 and Mr. McCray
$110 to the bandits. The five men
were returning from a midnight
automobile ride, they told police. A
large touring car drove in front of
them and waved flashlights for them
to stop.
Three masked men jumped from
the touring car and at the point of
guns commanded Messrs. Thomas,
Watts, Holah, Gunning and McCray
to line up.
While one highwayman stood at
a distance with pointed gun, the
ther two searched their victims.
It was while getting out of the
car that Mr. Gunning concealed his
$500 in the side of his shoe. He
was just starting to take off his
'other shoe at the command of one
of the highwaymen when he felt a
?un in his side. Well, never mind. -j
guess you haven't got anything
there," the highwaymen said.
The masked trio waited until their
victims -were out of sight before
driving away.
Mr. Gunning arrived in Omaha
I Saturday enroute from Los Angeles
to New York.
Gompers Urges Ratification
of the Treaty of Peace
New Orleans, La., Sept. i 22.
Normal industrial conditions can
come only when definite peace
terms have been agreed to by the
leading nations of the world, Samu
el Gompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, declared
today to the annual session of the
Associated Advertising clubs of the
world, meeting here. Mr. Gom
pers' address was read to the con
vention as he could not be present.
Urging prompt ratification of the
treaty as an absolute necessity, Mr.
Gompers said:
"That treaty is not perfect, but
it is our only constructive sugges
tion for dealing with some of the
things which cause wars.'
Mr. Gompers address was read in
connection with a triangular discus
sion which marked the opening
session of the convention, testus

Cadets at West Point had need
for self-control in the old days.
The West Point of '86 was not the
West Point of today. Today the
barracks are equipped with running
hot and cold water. In Jack Persh
ing's cadet days the only water
came from two faucets out of doors
in the area of the barracks, and from
those faucets, winter and summer,
had to be drawn all the water for
toilet purposes. It does not require
much imagination to picture the
scenes about those faucets on win
ter mornings when the mercury
hovered close to zero and .Arctic
blasts swept down the Hudson
river, winds always piercing and
sometimes snow-laden.
West Point ended at last, though.
Came one of those rare days in the
June of 1886, such a June day as
perhaps inspired the poet Lowell.
It was graduation day. Jack rersn-
ing ceased to be a cadet. He be

Joseph Pershing of the Sixth
cavalry, United States armyl
Dreams All True.
Never at any other time hi his life
not even when, on October 6, 1918,
he was given the highest honor the
United States army oners, a tun
four-starred generalship, has a com
mission meant so much to him.
Dreams jef childhood, dreams of
boyhood, dreams of early manhood
all had come true. His. ambition
was realized at last.
How the event was celebrated!
West Point custom an unwritten
fiat of the academy decrees that
the very first affair after gradua
tion shall be a class dinner. Thus
it was a day or so later found the
entire clasps of 1886 all of its 77
members, and those 77 all second
lieutenants gathered in a hotel in
New York City.
Jack Pershing as president of the
class of 1886, - presided. What a
dinner! Into the next morning it
continued such a dinner as . the
class of 1886 had never held before,
such a dinner as the class of 1886
would never hold again.
The Memory of "Suke" Mott.
With tfye commissions which
West Point, through the War de
partment, had given to the class of
1886, came orders that her newest
second lieutenants, on this date or
on that date, report to this organ
ization or to that organization, sta-

art found in the New Mexico coun
try. The victim lived for two days,
suffering the most excruciating tor
ture while the ants slowly ate away
the flesh from his head.
Jack Pershing, however, was not
to reach Fort Bayard in time to
take part in the . capture of
Geronimo and Natchez. Before
joining his command September 30,
he first visited Washington, his oldi
home in Laclede, Mo., and the new
home which his familty had estab
lished in Lincoln, Neb. When at
last he reached Fort Bayard, Ger
onimo and Natcher had surrendered
and with a large number of their
bands were on their way, under
guard, to Florida, where they were
placed on a reservation.
The story of his visit to Wash
ington is worthy of recording.
Brigadier-General Charles C. Wal
cutt, jr., the chief of the insular bu
reau in Washington, told me some
what of it. And Jack Pershing
himself, in a letter written after he
had reached Fort - Bayard written
by a strange coincidence on- the
very .day that "Suke" Mott was shot
tells more of it and of his journey
to his '"first post." Mott was "-with
him on that journey.
"When we reached Washington,"
General Walcutt told me, "Jack and
the others who were with us decided
that while the army offered much,
civil life perhaps offered still more.
We talked over a plan where one
of us should resign from, the service
and go west, there to make a for
tune in a development scheme in
Oregon. The man who went west
should be supported by the rest of
us while he was making money for
us. Then we would all resign.
Needless to say, the scheme never
materiajized."

ner ended, that these second lieu
tenants of the class of 1886, after
four years of life together, four
years during which such friendships
had come as only West Point can
engender, must separate and scat
ter to all four points of the com
pass, some of them, perhaps, never
to meet again. Indeed, there was
one at that '86 dinner, Second i-ieu-tenant
Seward Mott, or "Suke," as
his classmates affectionately called
him, who was never to attend an
other dinner of '86 men. Only a
few months later, on March 9, 1887,
Lieutenant Mott gave his life for
his country the first man of the
class of 1886 to die for West Point's
shibboleth "Duty! Honor! Coun
try!" The young lieutenant was
shot while on duty with his troop
of the Tenth Cavalry, near Nogales,
Ariz., by an Indian named Nah-diz-az,
and died the next day.
Pershing Assigned to Apaches.
Jack Pershing's orders called for
him to report September 30, 1886,
to Troop L of the Sixth cavalry at
hort Bayard, in Urant county, iNew
Mexico, 90 miles northwest of Mes
sila. Fort Bayard was in the De
partment of Arizona, and even as
Tack Pershing received his orders,
General Nelson A. Miles, the com
manding general of the department,
was' leading the campaign against
Geronimo and Natchez, the Apache
chiefs, and their bands of renegade,
marauding Indians, who for years
Red Cloud
had terrorized the settlers of New
Mexico and Arizona and those parts
of Mexico across the border.
The territory roamed over by
these Indians was at lease 600 miles
in extent north and south, and 350
miles east and west. More barren,
desolate territory than parts of it
do not exist on this continent. The
territory lies within the Rocky and
Sierra Madre mountains, and the
fastnesses in which the Indians took
refuge after raids upon the early
settlers were practically impenetra
ble. -

Giant Lawson Air Liner
Is Due in Omaha Friday
The giant Lawson airliner, carry
ing 6 passengers on a tlight from
Washington, D. C, via Omaha to
San Francisco, is scheduled to ar
. rive here Friday, according to Al
fred W. Lawson, builder of the
plane, who is at present in Wash
ington. The bureau of aviation of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce has
prepared the big Ak-Sar-Ben land
ing field on the Center street road,
and everything is in readiness for
the reception of the big airplane.
The plane was built in Milwaukee
, and has made a startling trip east
ward via Chicago, - Toledo, Syra-
cuse, N. Y to New York City and
from there to Washington.
The Lawson plane is so far the only
airliner to attempt a transconti
nental flight. It is the largest plane
in this country.
than the Apaches of Paris, the most
cruel robbers in the world, get their
name. A few instances of the fiend
ish torture to which these Indians
subjected. their victims were cited to
Jack Pershing when he reached Fort
Bayard. They give some concept
tion of the Apache atrocities which,
barely a quarter of a century ago,
stirred the whole world.
There was an Indian named
Schimizene, whom Jack Pershing is
said to have met. For a number of
years this Indian had been in the
habit of traveling past a certain
white man's dwelling. On these oc
casions the Indian was always treat
ed kindly, and was given food and
made comfortable whenever he
wished to tarry. One morning after
having had breakfast at the dwell
ing he leveled his rifle at his bene
factor and killed him. The Indian
boasted of the crime afterward, in
these words:
"Why," Schimizene declared, with
a grunt, "a weak man or a coward
could kill his enemy or anyone who
had done him an injury; but it takes
a man of strong heart to kill a friend
or one who has always treated him
kindly."
Such was Apache reasoning, Jack
Pershing learned.
This same Indian, at another time
during Indian hostilities, so Jack
Pershing discovered, captured an
unfortunate white man and buried
him, all but his head, in proximity
to a large black ant hill
NO RELIEF FROM
SUGAR FAMINE
IS YET IN SIGHT
Hotel and Restaurant Men
Declare They See No
, Hppe for Near
Future.
The consensus of opinion among
restaurant and hotel men is that
there will be no ample sugar sup
ply available for at least another
two weeks and perhaps longer. J.
W. Welch, owner of the Welch res
taurants, operating in both Omaha
and Des Moines, states that there
is no relief in sight. He said:
"Most wholesalers are exempt
from . charges of profiteering. To
get any satisfaction the investiga
tion will have to be carried much
further. Few of the dealers in this
country have any sugar to meet the
demands of their regular trade, and
they are as helpless as the con
sumer. The real fault lies in the
fact that the government is unable
to control the supply of sugar in
Cuba and the Hawaiian islands.
Plenty of Sugar.
"Thre are piles and piles of
sugar in both places, but the owners
are holding it until such time as
regulation of prices is discontinued,
in order that they may demand
higher prices. Until that time we
can do nothing. Des Moines is
much worse off than Omaha. They
have had no granulated sugar for
over a month."
H. C. Miller, steward and purchas
ing agent of the Hotel Fontenelle,
says: "The situation is absolutely
out of reason. Considerable ship
ments of sucar were made from this
territory without regard to our
needs, and now we cannot get it
back., Nebraska raises enough sugar
beets to supply all these states with
the finished product if it were kept
here. By ordering from firms in
Chicago and further east, as well as
from Oklahoma and Texas, I have
been able to supply sugar for table
use, though we are using the same
restrictions deemed necessary dur
ing the war.
- Cannot See Reason.
"We make no ices or sherbet, and
the use of sugar in our bakery is al
most discontinued. Some difficulty is
experienced in obtaining meats and
various forms of canned goods. I am
sure that I can offer no explanation
for any of it"
Other users say practically the
same thing. The only restaurants
that have sugar at all are those who
anticipated the shortage and laid in
supplies to last them several weeks.
Even bakeries are finding it neces
sary to send around to the smaller
grocery stores, buying the "small
amounts possible, in order to keep
up their products.
File Suit Against Estate
3 Years After Man's Death
Though it is nearly three years
since Edward L. Dodder, Omaha
undertaker, was found dead on a
road north of the city, a suit was
filed yesterday in district . court
against his estate. The Fidelity and
Casualty Co. of New York asked the
court to award it $1,000 from his
estate.
The plaintiff alleges that Mr. Dod
der drew a check for this sum on
the funds-of Union Pacific lodge,
No. 17, Ancient Order of United
Workmen, of which he was treasur
er, and that he used this money for
none of the lodge's business. The
check was cashed on January 4,
1917, and he was found dead that
same night. '
