INDIANA MOB
HANGS BLACKS
Screaming Women Trample
And Tear One Victim
In Their Madness
a
MARION, Ind., Aug 8.-</P)-A
frenzied mob of 1,000 persons
stormed the Grant county Jail late
last night, snatched two negroes
from their cells, and hanged them
on the courthouse square.
The victims of the mob's fury
w«re Thomas Shipp, 18, accused of
fatally shooting Claude Deetcr. 23,
of Falrmount, Ind., and Abe Smith,
19, who police said admitted attack
ing Deeter's girl companion after
the shooting on a lonely country
road east of here.
Using sledge hammers after they
were driven off once by use of tear
gas bombs, members of the mou
smashed a hole in the masonry be
side the jail door and broke their
way through two steel doors to
reach the cells of the negroes.
Shipp's clothing was torn from
his body by the madtuncd men. and
he was borne In a blanket to the
courthouse yard and banged from
the bars of a window in the build
ing.
Smith, borne from the Jail by a
group of men after they had knock
ed him unconscious with their fists
and hammers, was thrown on tne |
ground where a horde rf screaming ]
women trampled on him and tore j
his body with their finger nails. He ]
then was hanged on a tree in the
courthouse yard.
une Man wawn
The mob dispersed early today
after it had taken from the jail and
•everely beaten Herbert Cameron,
16.
Today 50 state policemen and
police officers from surrounding
towns, armed with sub-ma''’' ns
guns, maintained order, while Gov
ernor Harry G. T eslie said he s‘ood
ready to recall the National Guard
from its training quarters at Camp
Knox, Ky., if further trouble devel
oped.
The vengeance of the mob was
appeased after Cameron was re
turned to the jail. It was discover
ed the men had in**”''*--’ f,'k‘n"
Robert Sullivan. 19. who was impli
cated in the killing of Deeter. in
stead of Cameron, whose connec
tion with the other negroes was
only that of an ac'-^mplice in sev
eral recent robberies.
A move toward Sullivan, after the
mistake was discovered and Camer
on returned, was thwarted by a man
who said he was an uncle of the
girl attacked. He harangued the
mob. saying the two men directly
involved had been nunlshed. and
advised against further violence.
Soon after, the crowd broke up into
small groups, and the danger of
another outbreak - considered I
slight.
This Dance Marathon
Was Real Marathon
CHICAGO. Aug. 8—/A*l—It start
ed before the first robin was seen
in Lincoln Park; it had tolled off
many weeks before the Southern i
Cross flew the North Atlantic; it!
was still going strong when wheat
took a flop and com went above a
dollar.
But. it stopped last night — the
dance marathon in a North Siue
ballroom.
Ann Gerry, Chicago, and Mike
Gouvas, Hammond. Ind., were the
winners with 2.831 hours, four min
utes and 30 seconds to their credit.
The managers said it was a new
world record.
The contest ended when medical
attendants ordered the other re
maining couple off the floor after i
an examination of the man s foot
showed it was too sore to dance upon
any longer.
Republicans Drive
For Congress Rule
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. ——
Under two new generals—Senator
Fees of Ohio and Robert H. Lucas
of Kentucky—lieutenants of the
Republican national campaign or
ganization were speeding homeward
today with plans for an Immediate j
drive to retain control of congress
in the Not’ember elections.
Assured that enough money was
on hand to conduct a spirited con- j
test for seats in the se^-fe and
house, the Republican managers '
also found solace in the ending of
the controversy over Claudius H
Huston of Tennessee, former na
tional chairman, with as little hard
feeling as possible.

BY MILTON BROWER
NEA Service Writer
LONDON, August 8.—The man
that big sums of money can't
tempt and that promised literary
fame won't tempt—that's the way
Sir Maurice Hankey is known in
the offices of the clever gentlemen
whose job it is to get best sellers
written.
By dangling fat cheek books In
front of their eyes, the book pub
lishers of America, Germany, Eng
land and Prance have been able to
get the World war story and the
peace story of nearly every fa
mous soldier and statesman. All
except Hankey. He zis adamant. He
will probably never write his story.
And if he ever does, he wiU pro
bably stipulate that it shall not be
published until a hundred years
after his death.
For Hankey knows more big se
cret s than any living man. This
little military chap, who looks so
unmilitarv, has packed away in his
diaries and note books and
documents, and also In his clever
clever brain, more inside stuff
than any dozen men who have
given their memoirs to the wc -Id
He has bepn custodian to the "low
down stuff” of cabinets and con
ferences and commissions for so
long that people forget that he
ever did anything else.
He was born in 1877. educated
at Rugby, and went into the Roy
al Marine Artillery In 1895 when
he was only 18. At 22 he was a
Captain and when he finally and
definitely retired from that body
In 1908 it was with the rank of
lieutenant colonel.
Quirk Rise to Fame
In the meantime, the govern
ment had already found he was an
ideal man for all kinds of jobs and
so all kinds of Jobs were en
him. From 1399 to 1901 he served
on the Ramillies. flagship c! the
fleet. The former artilleryman
showed so quick a grasp of n al
matters that from 1902 to 1906 he
was attached to the Naval Intel
ligence Department. In 1907 he was
made Naval Intelligence Officer
with the Mediterranean fleet. In ;
1908 he was given a tremendous
boost, being made assistant secretary
of the Committee on Imperial De
fense. the body charged wtn
organizing all the war defenses of
the British empire. In four years
time he made himself so tndispens- I
able that he was made secretary ,
of that body.
When the World War broke out 1
•and England faced the greatest
crisis of Its history, a special War
Cabinet inside the regular cabinet
was formed. It mas necessary to
have a secretary and the whole
government turned with one ac
cord to Hankev. In the following
year, when the Imperial War Cab
inet was formed. Han key was once
more sec re tan*. He knew so much
about the defenses of the empire
he was so quickly receptive of new
Ideas and he originated so many
of his own that nobody else was
thought of for the job. When the
Inventors of the tank were fight
ing army and red tape to get the
machine adopted. It was Hankev
who largely won their battle for
them.
When the cabinet had any spe
cial little job to do they called In
Hankey. They all remembered
what Lord Fisher, the famous First
5ea Lord of the Admiralty, had
Mice said of him:
"He is a litt'e fellow with a
oulging forehead crammed with
arains created by God for the dis
:omfiture of the German kaiser.'*
Called "British Colonel House
After a while other people gave
him other appelations. Some
called him the British Colonel
House, because of the implicit faith
the war-time Premier, Lloyd
George, had in him. Others said
he was the real ruler of the coun
try. One of his jobs was to tell
the country what the war cabinet
had decided. So nobody was sur
prised when he was knighted in
1916. The only surprise was that
he did not get a higher honor.
When the statesmen and gen
erals met at Versailles to draft
the peace treaty. Sir Maurice was
right there, in charge of the Brit
ish secretariat and right-hand man
or Lloyd George. The tigerish old
French Premier. Georges Cleamen
ceau conceived a tremendous ad
miration for him. When the Big
Three—President Wilson. Lloyd
George and Clemenceau— were dis
cussing some important point and
wanted some particular document
to refer to. the Tiger would turn
to Sir Maurice and say:
WAS SECRtfAl^ Of
BiE GSiTtSH WAS
CA0INETS
HAMKEy WAS HloULV (JfS?»ECTEO
8V THE'.6»G THREE*
Sir Maurice Hankey, right, a quiet, unobtrusive little Englishman,
is said to be the possessor of more big secrets than any other living man.
“Come along! Pull it out of that
bag o? yours.”
To his wife. Clemenceau said
her husband was the best man ir.
the world.
Given Grant by Parliament
When the peace conferen~c- was
over a grateful Parliament gave
him a grant of $125,000. He ha
been the chief of the British sec
retariat at every international
conference held since the war,
winding up with the recent Nava!
Conference. In the closing hours
of the latter, when a continental
delegate made a speech paying
high compliments to Sir Maurice
none applaudad lorder than the
American delegate., headed by |
S: etary of State Stimson.
As soon as ‘he Naval .nestings
were over. Sir Maurice went a~s
to his regular j->us. Ali he d>"> 5s
to be clerk u> th» Privy Council at
Councillors all the sccrels • emn r;
v.n.ch the King discus^' wi*h h!*
Councilors ill the secrets of enp.re;
Secretary to the Cabinet; and
Secretary to the Committee on
Imperial Defense.
In 1921. when the magazine, th
Round Table, announced an article
by him. people thought at last
they were going to hear some
thing. But Sir Maurice only told
how diplomacy by conference had
developed as one of the results of
the war. He modestly said he kner
a little about it as he had attended
- I
488 International conferences since
1914 and had been on the secret
ariat of all of them. With equal
modesty, as an old cricket player,
he compared his Job with that of
the wicket keeper:
“Mistakes by either are apt 4o
prove costly; both have to be pre
pared for hard knocks, and both
see a good deal of the game:'
It's because he has seen so much
of the game for the past 20 year.1
that the book publishers can't get
Sir Maurice to write a book about
it. He knows too much.
