San Francisco. Jan. 16. Mrs.
Anna Ellington, 'ag<-d 47. was an
"old fashioned" mother. II?-r
daughter. Dorothy Elllngson, aucd
16. often told her so. The mother
It Bt'cmi, frequently chided Dor
othy for staying out late at night,
and for the companions sin- kept.
Sometimes where nurt* chiding*
failed she adopted harsher mea
sure*.
^"Todav. because she was "old
Rashloned" and some times pos
Islbly too strict, the body of -Mrs.
\;iiingson Ilea In the morgue here
with two bullet holes in the hack
of her head. Sixteen-year-old
Dorothy is under arrest charged
with the murder of her mother
and the police says she has con
feaaed to the crime.
Behind this unusual case of al
leged matricide Is a strong com
plex of personalities on one hand ,
of a girl yet in adolescent age
with a paradoxical leaning on on
side toward Tennyson's poems afiil
Catholicism, and on the other of a
"Kid" butterfly's inubility to n-i
slat the lure of bright lights, all
night dance* and Joy rld? s with
their invariable accompaniment of
"Kin parties."
Woven into the ease also is a
diary kept by the girl which In its
frank chronlcHng of both thought*
and deeds as opposed to the ef
fort* of her "old fashioned" moth-,
er to keep her "straight." furnish]
a tragic moral for both parents
and children, particularly par
ents.
Mrs. KUIngson was shot -down
from behind as she aat lacing h? r
shoes. The night previous she
had refused to let 16-year-old
Dorothy attend a party at a beach
resort. The girl hod instated on
going, whereupon her mot h ? r at
tempted to repeat what she hsd ?
done before effectually? whip her.
The girl resisted, whereupon the.
mother took steps to have the
authorities send her to a correc
tional institution.
' The police believe that the 1
threat of this punishment was the
v motivation behind the death deal
ing bullets.
It Is In her diary entries, how
ever. that are revealed first the
pull of morality against the lure
of Jaxx. then, step by step. ftr*t
the mental, then the open rebel
lion against parental "old fash
ioned neas" which first prohibited
her from even attending the mo
vice. with girl friends, and finally
all night parties with sordid ? r
glea. Some of these entries read:
July 10 ? Mother Is dreadfully
old-fashioned and strict. Why
won't she even let i\ie go to the
movies with other girls?
July 16 ? Mother whipped ine
when she found out I had gone to
a dance Instead of to Ituth's
house. Out It was worth It.
July 18 -~Ou ess I'm outta luck
when boy friends can't even call
on me at our house.
August 23 ? Met H. and K., had
a flne feed. Nice fellows. This
Is the life. Wonderful time. pep.
Jaza. gin. Went to the beach later
and got drunk.
August 24 ? Out on a hot time
party with Hen and the gang.
When It was all over I was u II in.
August 24 ? Another whipping
but stayed home. Won't stand
for another one. Will do as 1
please henceforth and love where
I please. Tuesday another auto
ride and lots of drinks. Dig time.
I^ots of love too.
It was auto rides, big times,
drinks, "lots of love," which wh? u
old fashioned parental discipline
jfalled. brought the threat of the
reform school. Faced by such an
alternative. 16-year-old Dorothy.
^ who "wouldn't stand for another
whipping." finally shot down her
"old fashioned'' mother front be
hind.
Mltw Rllingson continues to ho
cheerful aftor 12 hour* of ques
tioning. She has remained the
same since th* murder. She,
danced at a friend's apartment
while her mother's body lajr at
home. The police have arrested
throe of 17 men charged with
contributing to the delinquency or
a minor.

so much comment and criticism
The criticism waa not atilled until

"lieU'a Nil, this la a billion

From 1909 until 1917 Mr Ilea
