DEBATED ALL

New York, Dec. rs. After an all
Anight vigil, representatives Of thu
Irish free state and of canon De Val
era's Irish republic" still were in joint
possession early to-day Of the New
York office of the Irish consulate. The
long hours of the night were spent in
peaceful debate and spokesman for
both sides indicated that the fight for
legal possession of the consulate
abandoned yesterday by Daniel J. Nc
Grath, retiring consul general for the
Irish free state, would be taken to
the courts to-day.
McGrath turned over the office to
Lindsay Crawford, free slater, yester-
day morning, and almost Immediately
Laurence Ginnell, member of De Val
era's cabinet, appeared and demanded
possession. He displayed papers to the
effect that he was the official envoy
, of the Irish republic
Crawford declined to withdraw and
Ginnell, accompanied by seven other
republican, sympathizers, including
Mrs. Terence MacSwiney, widow of
the lord mayor of Cork, took posses
sion of portion of the Office. Craw-
ford with single assistant was out
numbered and had to be content with
only one room.
A consultation between the leaders
brought an agreement that there
should be no violence and at the sug-
gestion Of Mrs MacSwiney an open
discussion of the relative merits of
the two claims soon was under way.
Although permission was given by
the owner OF the building at 10 Mas
san street in which the consulate is
located, to keep the lights burning
through the night, no one could enter
pr depart from the structure after i
D. H., when the elevators stopped run
ming. Newspapermen who sought the
privilege of climbing the ten flights
of stairs to the consulate to listen
in" to the debate were denied per-
mission.

The Food Content Of Potato.

Potatoes may truly be said to form
the background of the vegetable diet
ary. First and foremost they are the
chief and often cheapest of starchy
vegetables, hence. they are an excel
lent and cheap source OF heat and en-
ergy supply. Second, they have little
or no flavor or carriers of fat in the
form OF butter and cream, which is so
necessary for the diet, but they may
he combined with fiavors Of all kinds.
thus lending infinite variety to the
diet Their mildness of flavor makes
It possible 10 use potatoes daily with
out firing of them. Furthermore. the
potato is one of our cheapest sources.
Of iron. II likewise yields potassium
and contains a supply OF the vita
min c, the protector against scurvy.
In short. the potato supplies heat and
energy in the form Of starch, blood
building material in the form of iron,
and the body regulators in the form
OF minerals and vitamin c.
Yet, withal. the potato is not per-
feet food. First, it lacks fat, hence
we dress il with fat in some form.
Secondly, it is low in calcium, there
fore II is necessary to serve some 9TH
er vegetables, such as carrots. par
ships or one Of the leafy vegetables
such as lettuce, cabbage, spinach or
chard in the same meal in order that
this lack may be supplied.
Because of the roughage and water
that they contain, potatoes and 9th
err root vegetables have laxative eff !.
feet which is invaluable in correcting
a tendency TO constipation. Carrots
as well 40 potatoes contain vitamin G.

BELIEVE CHILD
WAS THESLAYER
Of Theresa Mccarthy,
Aged 10, in Her Brook

BULLET PIERCED
HEART UPWARD
Theory That If Fired BY
Larger Person Course
Would Be Different

New York, Dec %. Brooklyn's
keenest detectives, puzzled for solu-
ton of the mysterious shooting OF
Theresa Mccarthy, l0-year old school
girl, in her home Tuesday, took note
of the slightly upward course of the
22-calibre bullet that pierced her
heart, disclosed by the autopsy, and
to-day inclined more to the theory
that another child OF similar age was
responsible for the tragedy.
The deduction was that the bull
let's course would have been downward
rather than upward had an older and
taller person fred the shot, and in
this belief the search was continued
for one of Theresa's playmates, fright
ened into silence by the tragic conse-
quences.
The police, working on various an
giles in hope of the merest clue and
with a dragnet over the city, have in
custody James P. Grace Of Brooklyn,
rs, collector, on complaint of the fla
Their of a six-year-old Bronx girl, who
was attacked by a man in the hallway
of her home Dec. 8. The prisoner, the
police said, is being investigated in

girl in East SDth street,
two days later and also
in the case of the Mccarthy girl. Thus
far, however, nothing has been estab-
lished, the police said, to connect this
man with the Brooklyn mystery.

 Suddenly Phil saw an automobile

 But they had not reckoned on Hen ley and his mer1. That worthy hireling of Loonis had followed the stag coach, had seen the accident and had growled to himself when he saw the two young people continue their way in the autom ol1ile.

As the machine was speeding along the road, Phil c1lanced to look back. He saw two horse1aen approaching, urging their horses on to full speed. He leaned over to Ruth who was driving and told her to give the car moreg as. Then he climbed into the back seat to ward off an attack, if their pursuers caught up with them Directly ahead the road turned a corner and passed an overhanging cliff Phil tooka one glance over his shoulder as they rounded the. corner. Then. out of a clear sky, a man creashed into the back seat upon Stanton. He had taken @ short cut and stationed himself upon the cliff, knowing the car would have to pass that way.

 were already bearing down upon the car. A downward grade helped a
 little, but the horsemen were drawing
 closer and closer. Finally one of
 them leaped to the automobile, di-
 rectly upon Phil. In the general me-
 lee the new arrival and Phil toppled

 For several days after I went to live with CarIotta Sturges life ran along smoothly and without any events to differentiate one day from the next.
 Neal and I had a happy exchange of letters. Father Andrew wrote a few characteristics Gines revelling in the joy which has come to '|his boy and hoping joy was also the portion of This girl" His own worries were not mentioned.
