NEW YORK, June 28.-Mrs.
Mary Lonergan, who brought thir-
teen children into the world, is on
trial today for the murder of their
father.
1t seems to have become neces-
sary after thirty years of married
life with Big Bill Lonegran to kill
him.
This is not "just another murder
case"
No one wants Mary Lonegran
convicted.
Most people think her only fault
was that she waited too long be-
fore making an end of the cowardly
expire fighter, who reminded him
self of former ring triumphs by
hitting his enfeebled wife and her
offspring. AS Mary Lonegran's
babies came into the world, one
after another, they seemed to rep
resent just so many punching bags
to their father.
The day was to come when Lon
ergan would know the terrible
anger of the sheep. 1t was no
good being patient and long-suffer-
ing. Mrs. Lonegran knew she
would have to find some way to
answer blow for blow.

NJ AUL|FFE PUTS
DQLP OUT Of
FINAL GOLF
Buffalo Star Turns Back
Western Hope I Up on
Eighteenth Green.
By LEONARD w. COLLINS.

Two little white balls came to
rest on the eighteenth green at
East Potomac Park. It took the
keenest OF eyesight to distinguish
which laid the f8rthest from the
cup. but both were ten full feet
away.
Frank Dolp, young bank clerk,
of Portland, Ore.,. strobe across the
green, Referee A. T. Packard hav-
ing ruled that what little differ
ence, IL any, in the distance of the
two balls from tho cup was In favor
of Ray McAuliffe. Both had played
their third shot after leaving the
eighteenth tee and both were all
even in the matter Of holes won
and lost. Upon one putt depended
whether Delp or McAuliffe was to
reach the semi-final round this
afternoon against J. Stewart Whit
ham, Of New York.
Holes Hard Putt.
Dolph, with putter in hand, knelt
upon the sward, sighted for a
matter of fully a minute from his
ball to the cup and as the big
crowd breathlessly awaited, straight
ened up, poled the club and brought
it back with slow but deliberate
swing.
The little pellet left the club
head straight as a bullet for the
hole. It travelled four feet and then
began slowly and gradually to lose
momentum. When but two inches
away it came to full stop. Dolp
still had a chance to halve the hole
and carry the match to extra holes,
provided McAuliffe also missed.
The tall, blonde, Indifferent Buffalo
star hesitated but a second and the
putt was on.
With a sickening thud-it surely
must have been sickening to the
youngster Of the far Western coast
the ball settled into the cup.
Dolp had gone dowYf in defeat,
but it was one that no man could
regret. He met seasoned veteran,
who from stomach trouble was
slightly off his game. He met a
player who easily can outdrive him
from the tee. He also met q player
who is deadly accurate with his
irons and on the green. It was a
great match, one that was well
worth the long trudge around the
6.24S yards under the blisterlng
sun.
Experience Was Factor.
The match, closely analysed will
disclose that experience was one
of the contributing factors in Nc
Auliffe's victory. They halved the

When the President left Washing

the court and then devote the
balance Of his speech-making to
domestic issues. But he has follow
ed no such program. Up to today

Is convinced the appeals have not

Rightly or wrongly the President

charged with conspiracy TO con-
troll prices and limit the produc-

today.
Evidence Was Lacking.
"A careful investigation, strongly
supports the protest Of the defend
ants that many Of the things com

the efforts OF those who were Gov
eminent officials during the war
to bring about more intensive CO.

and railroads in the production, nl-
lotment and transportation Of coal. "
Lack Of evidence was assigned as
the reason for the motion, the final
phase Of the famous proceedings
brought under the Sherman anti
trust law and the Lever act in the
last year of the administration of
the Department Of Justice by "A.
Mitchell Palmer.
The motion was sustained by
Judge Albert B. Anderson after a

Never Brought To Trial.
The cases were never brought
to trial because the Government
did not have sufficient evidence to
support the charges according to
Daugherty.
The check-off system was partly
the basis for the indictments. 1t
was charged that during the prog
ress of a strike the check-Off was
maintained in mines where a few
remained to protect the properties
showing collision between opera
tors and mine worker officials.
The strikes and labor troubles Of
the war period were involved in

Dunbar Accuses Zolnay, and
Latter Makes Hot Reply De-
lending us statue.

George Julian Zolnay, sculplor
commissioned to do the anaammy''
group commemorative the de-
votion of slave mothers for the
children of ode quality folk" IN
olden Southern days, doesn't want
to get into any controversy with
Uric S. j. Dunbar, who has
charged him with purloining an
idea.
At the same time he had this
to say of Dunbar and his accusa-
tions today:
1. Dunbar is unworthy Of notice.
2. He is only seeking free pub
licity.
8. He. has made up a tissue of
lies.
4. He (Zolnay) was never in
Dunbar's studio but once, and then
he didn't see Dunbar's NANNY"
group model, which Dunbar exc
cuted some sixteen years ago.
Can't Afford Controversy.
ST can't afford to get into a con-
troversy with this fellow" the at
fable sculptor explained, as he sat
perched on a stool smoking ciga-
rette in his Bohemian studio. rear
of his home at 1888 N street.
- 10 f Na1e
ZoInay had visited his studio many
times. and inferred he had picked
up then symbolism of the Dunbar
group and embodied 1t in his own.
He also declared it was absurd for
Zolnay's group to take the form OF
a fountain.
'I4ow could anyone make a foun.
tain symbolic of black nanny.
he queried interviewers.
Zolnay came back drily:
'Why should a black nanny be
perched atop a pedestal in such
fashion that one can look up under
her skirts? The subject is not one
to be treated in heroic, but sympa-
thetic fashion. I therefore design
ed a fountain, about which little
children can play and the upper
part of which places nanny and
the children in a gracious framing.
A fountain is the only
correct treatment"
Gives Groups History.
Zolnay then narrated how the
execution of the group came about.
Last summer" he said, "a COM
mittee of ladies who have raised
funds for the erection OF the me-
mortal came to me and commis-
stoned me to do this piece. i
thought long before I worked out
my grouping and this is the re-
suit" He pointed to plaster
piece in miniature, showing an
aged negress holding one white
child on her lap with others on
either side, in the attitude OF those
listening to story.
"I had never heard Of, never seen
this man Dunbar's work, and know
him only as slight acquaintance
met at the Arts Club. When the com
mittee of ladies, headed by Mrs.
Jane w. Blackburn Moran, saw my
