Woman Drives Bows
10 Lives of Crime.
Arrest Exposes All
Larceny, Criminal AS
sault and Murder Are
Laid La! to Group Led by
Female Fagin"

ohicago, March 2O.- Through
'he arrest of the two boys and the
mother of one of them, the police
today believed they had broken
up the most unusual and nm
scrupulous group of criminals in
the city.
The boys, Charles Shader, 10,
and Frank Lee, 16, were held with
Shader' s mother in connection
with crimes ranging from larceny
and criminal assault on a mute
woman, to murder. Mrs. Shader
was declared by the police to be
a female Fagin, who directed the
vice activities of the youths and
forced them into life of crime.
Killed Her Husband
Some time ago Mr.. Shader, the
woman s husband, was found shot
to death in his home, a large pistol
by his side. A few days ago
Margaret Shader, 16, sister of
Charles, was found shot to death
with the same pistol by her side.
s mother said the girl
killed herself when she was re-
fused permission to marry Lee, the
boy arrested with Shader and
his mother. Lee is a mulatto and
the Shaders are whites.
Lee, sitting in his cell today,
told the police that Margaret met
her death through her refusal to
obey Mrs. Shader's orders that she
join the others in their crime ac-
tivities.
Stolen Goods Found
Lee was quoted by the police
as saying that Mrs. Shader made
him and Charles become Grim
mails. He told the police he
thought she was "hoodoo
and that he was afraid to
lisobey her.
In the Shader home the police
ound more than $4,000 worth
If goods which they said had
,een stolen. There was enough to
took fair sized department
tore. The two boys signed con-
essions, the police said, that they

Pitched Battle Held
Imminent; Bridges
Blow Up; Lines Ex-
change Shots

London, Mar. 20.-(By Associ
ated Press)-The border line o
Ulster Is described as like a bat
tie front" by the Evening New
Belfast correspondent, who sayI
rival forces of the Irish republi
can army and Of Ulster specia
constables were actually within
rifle range and continually firing
at each other during the week
end.
The combatants were too well
concealed for serious losses to be
inflicted and the exchange of fire
was mainly intended to prevent
surprise attacks.
Armies Draw Closer
The rival armies, continues the
correspondent, are gradually
creeping closer and the first col
lision is expected to occur on
the frontier near Caledon, County
Tyrone.
"The sound of the blowing up
of bridges on the Ulster border
during the week end could be
heard miles away" adds the dis
patch. THE northern forces were
responsible and as the re-
suit of their activities every i'm
portant bridge leading from the
free state has been demolished,
while hundreds of roads have
been trenched and closed with
trees.

ming to affect the inhabitants be-

lists along the frontier are much

To him who, in his love of ma

So may 1t be with nature. The
police, however, who necessarily
take their communion at odd mo-

FIRST In
TOURNEY
Southern Oregon Five
Defeats Pendleton;
Coaches Select ALI
Star Teams

Rallying from the slump into
which they fell Saturday after
noon, when they barely nosed out
at 1927 victory over Astoria in
the semi-finals, the Ashland high
school quintet Saturday evening
handed the Pendleton high school
five a 45 to % defeat and cap
tured the state interscholastic
basketball championship. The
game was the final of the Oregon
State High School Athletic asso-
citation tournament, held under
the auspices of Willamette univer-
sity.
Pendleton took an early lead of
5 points before the southern Ore
gon lads hit their stride, but the
rally of the Roundup city lads
was short lived. Displaying per-
feet team work and an uncanny
ability to hit the basket, the Ash
land five literally swept their
opponents off their feet and
steadily increased their lead as
the game progressed. Guthrie and
Herr, forwards, and Ramsey, CEN
ter, proved to be scoring combi-
nation that could not be stopped.
w. Kramer, all-star forward,
and Holmgren, his running mate,
were the outstanding stars for
Pendleton.
Astoria Haru contender.
Close guarding ny Astoria near,
ly upset the dope in the afternoonI
and came within one basket of
putting the Fishermen into the
finals. Fighting every minuces
the Astoria lads completely stop |
ped the Ashland scoring machine
in the last half, but their often
sive tactics were not well enough
executed to overcome the lead |
held by Ashland.
A close, and generally misun-
lerstood decision, which deprived
Astoria of a basket just as the
final gun was fired brought a
storm of protest from the audi
ence. Just as the gun was fired
an Astoria man shot and made a
basket, but it was not counted be-
,ause the referee had blown his
whistle for a held ball." before
he Astoria man shot, and the
1all was, therefore, technically
lead.
In the afternoon semi-final be-
ween Pendleton and Eugene, the
.astern Oregon five won an easy
IS to 81 victory. Pendleton led
throughout the contest and saved
themselves for the evening game
uring the last half.

FARM BLOC
FINE THING
MAN HOLDS
Square Deal Only Is
Asked, Editor Says
at Club Lunch Here;
Optimism Is Need

The troubles of the American
farmer must be alleviated. Thi
the farmer bloc-working openly
above board and with its cards oi
the table-proposes to do, II. p
Faville, editor Of the Western
Farmer, told packed auditor
ium at the Salem Commercial clut
this noon. Mr.. Faville was the
speaker at the regular Monday
noon luncheon of business men
and farmers.
ut is somewhat astounding To
see group Of men, such as those
who make up the agricultural
bloc, presenting their demands,
working with their cards face up
and it is somewhat annoying to
some other interests" Mr.. Fa-
Vile said. when, in this manner,
sane legislation is asked in an
open manner, 1t is the highest
type Of American politics"
Attended Conference
The legislation advocated by
the farm bloc, Mr.. Faville declar-
ed, is both constructive and con-
servative.
Mr.. Faville was one Of the Ore
gon men who attended the nation
al conference held in Washing
ton, D. c., during the last week
in January and he was loud in his
praise Of the policies outlined at
that time by President Harding.
"a square deal for the Ameri-
can farmer is all that the agricul-
tural bloc stands for" Mr.. Faville
said. Cooperative work among
ranchers Of the United States, he
said, is one of the country's great
needs.
National Place Held
Zone thing is certain" he de-
clared. "The farmer must. in the
future, hold a far bigger place in
national affairs" At the present
time, he pointed out, individual
effort counts for but little and
collective work is the great need.
To-day we need optimists-
constructive optimists," Mr.. Fa
Vile said. when all goes we'll
when the goose hangs high-we
lon't care who knocks us. Now,
however, we need men who can
zee something besides a dark fu-
.ure."
Many Farmers Present
One Of the largest crowds which |
las attended a club luncheon in
many months heard Mr.. Faville's
ak and there were many Marion |
.ounty farmers among those pres
mt. Three tables were needed to
accommodate the crowd, and
many persons we're forced to
ind seats next to the wall.
