AMERICAN CRUISER
IS FIRED UPON \
CONTINUED From First Page1


Americans have been reassuring. An
undercurrent of uneasiness was Great
ed, however, early this month when
the Turkish commander at Beirut ad-
dressed a note to the American Consul
General, which he intended for the
information of the French and British
governments, declaring that for every
Mussulman killed in q bombardment
of any unfortified port, three British
or French subjects would be put to
death, and added that he could not
take the responsibility for any uprising
against Christians which might follow
such an event.
1t was pointed out at the time that
bonn bardment of any open and unfor-
tilted towns was unlikely, as it is pro-
hibited by The Hague convention.
Those Turkish officials who remain at
the embassy here were confident that
If the Tennessee had been fired upon
1t was the act of some local official,
which would quickly be taken up by
the Constantinople government. Fur
ther than calling for inquiries from
other American officials in the vicin-
ity, it appeared that Washington was
awaiting further reports from the Ten
nessee herself before proceeding. 1t
became known also that England and
France were asking their commanders
in the Mediterranean for information
of the incident.
The theory of officials here is that
Captain Decker had been ashore at
Smyrna to pay his respects to Consul
General Horton and that the consul,
who had returned the visit, was being
taken back to Smyrna when the launch
was fired upon. 1t was pointed out, that
in making a visit to Smyrna the ordi-
nary procedure for the Tennessee would
be taken to anchor outside the harbor
and send launch ashore. Another view
is that the firing may not have been
intended as an unfriendly act, but
merly as a warning that the port was
closed; That is said to be usual form
of notifying foreign vessel that a port
is closed when other notification has
not been made
AS Captain Decker's report mention
ed the fact that anxiety had been felt
for the safety of the American consult
ate at Smyrna the opinion was express
ed in some quarters that the launch
might have been taking a guard from
the Tennessee to protect the consulate
and such Americans and other foreign
ers who would naturally seek asylum
in that quarter.

MANY SLAYERS GET
AWAY At STEEETOV
Year Ago Yesterday That Steve
LOncar Escaped After Muir
dering Wife

trip to Detroit, Mich, by Joseph
ii. Gore, Steelton detective, revived
discussion in the office of Squire
gardner this morning of the Loncar
murder and other unsolVed murder
mysteries here in recent years.
1t was just one year ago yesterday
that Steve Loncar, an Austrian, in a
mt of drunken rage plunged a knife
into the body of his wife Mary, seven
teen times because she refused to leave
sick bed and go to work in the Steel
ton cigar factory.
A son, Tomo Loncar, who witnessed
the crime, fled in terror to summon
the police. He was gone less than
half an hour before he returned with
the police officer. In this short time,
however, his father had fled to the
big cinder dumps east of Steelton.
Hiding in the many crevices and hol-
lows of the hugh waste places here
Loncar managed to elude the police
for weeks until, 1T is believed with
the help of friends. he fled the county.
Although every effort was bent by
the police to apprehend him Loncar
has never been captured. He has been
reported to have been seen in Cham
bersburg and Buffalo, New York. At
both places, however, when the police
investigated he was not found. A true
bill has been found against him by
the county grand jury and a standing
reward of 500 has been offered for his
apprehension.
The ease with which Loncar es-
capped recalled to the mind of some
of the officers in Squire Gardner's Of
flee the murder years ago of a man
named Dengler at Oberlin. His assas-
sins escaped.
Another man still wanted by the
police is Dan Fyler. About eight years
ago Fyler shot and killed his wife and
her paramour, Charlie Bennett. He,
too, made good his escape. He has
never been heard from.
Ten years ago Mace Williams, broth
er of EX-Chief of Police Henry Clay
| Williams, was found supposedly MUIR
dered along the railroad tracks near
the Bear Pit, then notorious place
in the West Side. No clue was ever
found to his murderer or murderers.
Another unsolved mystery sur
I rounded the death of a young man
named Claude Grahm, South Third
street, within a stones throw of the
police headquarters. Young Grahm
returned from a Harrisburg theater
He was found the next morning with
his skull fractured laying on his own
back door step. Doctors revived him
and he promised to tell the name OF
his assailant He lapsed into uncon-
sciousness again however and died
without ever giving a clue to the
identity of his murderer.
Whether or not any of these crimes
will ever be solved is doubtful. If
any are, however, it will probably be
the Loncar crime for the son, Tomo
now a youth of II years, has promised
to lend every effort in his power to-
wards avenging his mothers death
Some day, perhaps, the father will re-
turn to see his son. Then justice will
fcome to pass.

Many believe that the California

Carl Behr as his partner, basing this
belief on the theory that Behr's bril-
liant, but erratic attack would have
upset the wonderful team work, OF
the Australians. However. McLough-
lin felt he would play better tennis

he was compelled to meet McLough-
lin In the singles, and endure nearly
two hours of the fiercest tennis ever
seen before the first set was decided
One would think the long campaign
In which Canada, Germany and Eng.

first day of cup play would sap his
vigor, but he went into the doubles
as fresh as his opponent, apparently.
Yet II was Mclaughlin who weak
