RED LEADER IS
 CAPTURED; WEAK
 FOR LACK FOOD
BERT BLAND, ALLEGED LEADER OF ARMISTICE PLOT SURREND- FRS TO ERS-FOURTEEN MEN AND ONE WOMAN IMPLl- GATED IN PLOT.

CENTRALIA, Wash, Nov. 1S.-(P, Bert Bland, who is supposed to have been the leader of the wobblies in the armistice day shooting conspiracy, today surrendered to a posse of dep uty sheriffs searching for him 12 miles north of Independence. Bland was weak and emaciated from lack of food, having had but little to eat since he took to the hills a week ago today.
 He was alone when he surrendered. Fully armed and with big supply of ammunition he offered no resist ance, realizing that he could not hold out longer without food. With the entire country alarmed and on the lookout for him he had. no chance for ultimate escape. He is one of the men supposed to have been in Han sens cabin in Hanneford valley. Bland is said to have been the man who shot and killed Warren Grimm.
 The coroner's jury this afternoon at the inquest held over the body of John Haney found that he came to his death at the hands of menbers of his own posse thru personal neg ligence. He was shown to have dis regarded signals agreed on previously to prevent just such accidents and it was also proven that the signals were properly given before any shooting occurred.
