No mother would willfully retard

is unconsciously doing just this when
she is ignorant or careless in the

to being well planned from a health
standpoint, a lunch must be: Appetiz-

packed. a well-planned lunch should
contain substantial food, thlled sand
wiches usually supply this), fruit or
vegetables and a simple sweet.
The sandwich forms the basis of the
cold lunch Bread must be well baked,
and if twenty-four hours old will make
a heater sandwich Butter should be
creamed not melted, to make it
spread easily. Seldom use all sand
wiches of one kind. Use two of meat,
eggs, or fish, to one OF sweet filing,

SECOND ACQUITTAL.
 HALTS LILLY TRIAL
William MOnahan, IS, Freed Of
 MurdeE-91 Cases Remain

EBENSBURG. Pa., June 17.-(By the Associated Press. )-After a jury today brought in verdict of not guilty in the case of William Monahan, IS, of Lilly, who had been indicted for mur- der. and manslaughter in connection with tho fatal rioting of alleged mem bers of the K. K. K. and residents at Lilly April 5, it. was decided to con tinue the remaining murder and man. slaughter cases to the. September term of court.
 In charging the Jury, Judge Thomas P. Finletter removed the murder count against Monahan and the jury delib- erated 35 minutes before acquitting the youth of the manslaughter charge. Mon- ahan was tried on an indictment charg- ing him with murder and manslaughter in connection with the death of Cloyd Paul, one of the victims of the affray, and he still faces charges of murder in connection with the death of the other two men slain.
 Samuel Evans, an alleged klansman. was acquitted of one murder charge Saturday and against him two murder indictments still pend. Twenty-nine others, 17 alleged klansmen and F res idents of Lilly, also face three murder charges each, making total of 91 murder cases to be called in September.

DOG RIVER WORK
 MEETS OPPOSITION
Knight Unabl> To Arouse Any
 Interest In Project

WASHINGTON, June 17.-(Spe- cial. )-The board of review of the United States corps of engineers fail ed to respond with enthusiasm today to the request of E. V. Knight, interested in Mobile industries. that it reverse it. self respecting the proposed improve ment of Dog river.
 The board contended that the im- provement desired would cost the gov ernment $S9O00; and the cost of main- tenance would be $14,000 per annum.
 Final decision, however, was reserv- ed until the opinion of Gen. w. l.. Sibert, chairman of the Alabama dock commission, could be delivered. In the meantime, Senators Underwood of Ala bama, Ralston and Watson of Indiana, and others will intercede in behalf of the project.
 Mir. Knight states that the cost, as estimated by the engineers, is exces- sive, as private engineers have agreed to do the work for $30,000. The pro- ject was recommended by Major North. local engineer, but the board turned it down.
 The handicap in the way, it is evi- dent, is the conviction of the engineers that the project would rebound chiefly to the benefit of the Knight enterprises, and not to the public, as whole, or the federal government.

ONE-THIRD FAIL ON
 ANTI-KLAN PLANK
Alabanaa's Candidate Is Hopeful Of Unit
 Rule
ISSUES STRESSED
 IN FORMAL LETTER
Says He Was Not Party To Agreement Between
 'Tunstall And Conner.

Now that they have formally been approved by Senator Oscar Under wood, Alabama's2 4S delegates to the democratic national convention, as named by Ali Tunstall and for mef Governor B. B. Conner. will leave for New York Saturday night and hold a pre-convention caucus Monday in behalf of the senator's campaign for the presidential nomi- nation.
 One-third of the delegates have failed to pledge their support to the senator's crusade against the Ku Klux Klan, he revealed in letter to Chairman R. B. Evins of the Ala bama democratic executive commit tee, received here Tuesday. The senator, however, confirmd the del- egRtion in toto, reiterated his stand on all the issues involved in the campaign, and strongly urged the representative from his home state to act as a unit on all questions that confront the convention.
 T regret exceedingly" the senator wrote, '.that a minority of the delega- ti0E has hesitated to stand hy my pos Ajtion on salient principle, l do not doubt taeir loyalty to me and am hope, ful that when the delegation organizes it will see the wisdom of acting as q unit on the questions that come before 1t for considers tion."
 In his letter, the Alabama senator revealed for the first time that he was not a party to the agreement between Mir. TunstaH and Governor Conner, whereby they were each to name 24 delegates. He said he first learned of this agreement through the newspapers. Tunstall was chairman of the sena- tors campaign committee in his race against l.. B. Musgroye in the March preferential primary,
 To Stress KIan Issue
 Senator Underwood discussed his war on the klan in detail and dis closed that he had asked Forney John ston, who will place him in nomination, to lay great stress -0n this issue.
 Governmental principles come first, !" he continued. ''The personality of q candidate is a secondary consideration. ["
 His letter disclosed that he request ed Tunstall to obtain the viewpoints of the Alabama delegates as to the pro posed anti-klan plank before their names were announced. If the matter had been thus handled, it would have saved embarrassment to all concerned, he added.
 Throughout the senator's letter the hope is expressed that all As delegates. after they get to New York, will reach the decision to follow him "all the way" Walter Moore, Alabama demo cratic national committeeman, will pre- side. over the pre-convention meetings of the delegation and every effort will be made to harmOnize it on all issues.

two negroes for driving a car without a license. Hall volunteered to drive the prisoners to Leesville and started out with one negro on the front seat with himself while Mitchell and the other prisoner occupied the rear seat of the car.
 They had proceeded only a short distance from the camp when the car was halted by a mob of negroes whose spokesman demanded the release of the prisoners. Hall got out of the car and as he did so a negro in the crowd drew a pistol and fired at him twice, neither bullet taking effect. Hall drew his own pistol and killed his assailant in- stantly.
 Opens Fire
 Another member of the mob then fired and the bullet struck Hall in the back. Mitchell opened fire and the mob slowly withdrew, firing in return. A bullet pierced Mitchelrs hat and the negro who fired the shot was next to fall, probably fatally wounded. Mitchell loaded his prisoners and the wounded into the car after the mob had dis appeared and speeded to Deridder.
