Women Want To Identify Man Who

COUNCIL BLUFFS, la. March 20.- The ape man" who has terrorized women here for the last week failed to appear last night for the benefit of police and civilian searchers. A dozen women. frightened during the week by the ape-like creature, waited at police headquarters throughout the evening, anxious for a chance to identify any suspects captured in the police hunt.
 Chief of Police Nicoll today began an investigation among several cir cuses whicn have winter quarters here.
 A description of the ape man" was given to police today in q written statement by one of the victims whose name was withheld
 Ills movements are monl<ey-like, she declared. "He sinks along in d stopped fashion, arms swinging loose ly, like those of gorilla.
 His attacks are like those of a wild animal.
 He slips up from behind and clutches at the legs of the girl he has selected for his victim. He tears at her clothing.
 "All the girls who have been at tackled were nervous wrecks after ward. know of one girl whom he dragged between two buildings where she had to put up fight for her life.
 But he is a coward. When his victim screams and makes great commotion he darts off with light ming rapidity and disappears benind buildings.

NO FAVORITES SHOWN
 BY "GOLFER" HARDING
Executive Stops of At Fort Pierce
 For His Daily Game

FORT PIERCE, Fla. March 20.- Endeavoring to play no favorites as among rival Florida east coast towns, President Harding stopped here to- day for his round of golf. He stayed at Vero. 14 miles north of here, on the cruise south to Miami.
 The vacation house5oat Pioneer, after steady steaming from HoDe sound, where the vessel tied up last night, arrived here about 3 o'clock this afternoon, accompanied by the houseboat Victoria, on which her owner. former Senator Frelinghuy sen of New Jersey ana Mrs. Freling- huysen and Senator Hale Of Maine are cruising northward.
 The golfing members of the Pres ident's party immediately went to the ort Pierce Golf and Country club course. where Mir. Harding paired with Mr. Frehnghuysen against Edward E. McLean and Chairman Lasker of the shipping board. The President and his part : ner halved the first round of nine holes put lost the second.
 Mrs. Harding did not leave the houseboat here, and it was learned that she had suffered a slight recur- renee of her old trouble. but had inn proved so that no concern was felt.
 That the little disorder was right ing itself satisfactorily was indicated by the fact that Brig. Gen. Charles F. Sawyer, the White House physician, came ashore here and remained dur ing the afternoon, while the Pianeer proceeded up the Indian river to Vero.
 The President, after the golf game, motored to Vero and boarded the houseboat, which anchored for the night above that town. The cruise northward will be resumed early to- morrow with stop for golf, proba- ply at Melbourne.

WILL RENEW EFFORTS
 FOR NEAR EAST PEACE
VenizelOs To Be In London As Greek
 Representative

LONDON, March 20.LTrenewed dis cussion of peace in the Near East starts here Wednesday when the allies will confer on the terms de- manded by the Turkish national as- sembly at Angora.
 The capitulations and economic clauses of the treaty which the Turks rejected at Lausanne will be dis cussed and the allies will agree on policy of united action in dealing with the Turks at a new peace con ference which will probably be held in Constantinople.
 Former Premier Venizelos Of Greece is mysteriously injecting him. self into the situation. He will ar rive Wednesday from Paris and. ac- cording to reports, is to be the guest of the British government.
 The foreign office refuses to deny CT affirm the report, but admits that Venizelos will be available when a statement on the Greek viewpoint is desiIed.
 Lord Curzon, British foreign min ister, will preside over the Wednes- day conference. which will be attend ed by representatives of Italy and France.
 It is hoped the barley will lead the way to the renewal of conversations with the Turks which were broken off at Lausanne over a month ago because of the Turk rejection of the treaty which had been presented to them by the allies.
 In their note of rejection, the Turks left the way open for con- tinuance of negotiations.
