former 1C she cut loose front her husband the latter Is she elected to stand by him Though professing still to love her husband the wife finally gave way be- fore her fathers demands and it is said that the final arrangements for the ranuncitlon will be completed In New York on Monday Batonyi Consented The boys who have thus been used to force their mother into submjs Mon are sons by Mrs Batonyts former husband It is said here that Batonyi has consented to his wifes act and that they parted after a most heart- rending scene MBS Batonyi is In a nervous and dis- traught condition and fears of a nervous breakdown are entertained Her friends have been informed for some time of the difficulties under which she has been laboring and in a spirit of unselfishness- rare among the elect have been striving to lighten her burden by diverting her mind She was the guest of Mrs Reg- inald Vanderbldit at the horse show one afternoon this week and during the en- tire afternoon Mrs devoted herself almost entirely to keeping the attention of her guest social lights have performed similar ser- vice Mrs Batonyl is looking pale and care- worn and has Imparted to friends that all her interest in life has gone out History of Batonyi is a dashing looking young fellow and is tolerably well known here as a teacher of horsemanship His real name is said to be Arthur Cohn and Frank Work has declared that Batonyi was at one time associated with the nortorius Payne Moore He was di- vorced In 1 1 from his first wife who had been Hattie Smith a school teacher He came originally from Hungary and for announced that he was a count but he suddenly ceased to use the title as an explanation that In New York Mrs BurkeRoche being a the two were brought to gether by reason of their and soon became the veritable shadow of the beautiful society leader Half a dozen times were reported married and when the truth did come out Mrs Batonyi not only met with a storm of opposition from her father but with banishment from his presence as well and a diminution of Income which seriously embarrassed her ambitions as a leader of the Newport set One of the final blows leading up to todays announced was the ad vertisement which Frank Work recent ly caused to be inserted In the New York and Newport papers placing his Newport mansion Elm one of the show places of the summer social capital on the market Mrs Bartonyi had hoped to retain her right to hold court there and this blow it Is believed helped to weaken her spirit and put In condition in which she was unable to resist the ulti

Like its predecessor of the previous week Why Dont Govern-

ington Joke has attracted the widest interest throughout and theSunday editor of The Times was more than kept busy opening and

reading the repliesf

Answers came from old and young alike and from all sections ofthe District Maryland and Virginia Some of the ideas were brimmingwith humor while others were serious and sedate It is plainly evident

that each writer was quite sincere in expressing his or her opinion

Nearly all of the incidents and landmarks identified with Wash-

ington came in for their share and chief among them was the Wash-

ington baseball team There seems to be quite a general and unani-

mous opinion that the team present condition and efficiency is

decidedly a jokeSome of these answers simply said The Washington baseball

team Others were more facetious and more or less uncomplimentary

One peculiar feature of the baseball team answers is that each writerseemed to be well imbued with the idea that he or she would be the

only one to hold the team the greatest jokeNext to the baseball team Public Printer Stillings came in for the

most attention at the hands of writers of answers Various car lines

were well cared for as were various localities and the Washington

boomSeveral jokes that did service two or three decades ago were resur-

rected given a newdressing of local color and erved as the best Wash

FATHERS WRATH FORCESBATONYIS TO PART FOREVER

Continued First Page

outside Her own daughter formerlyMiss Cynthia BurkeRoche and MrsPeter Cooper Hewitt her stator havelikewise declined to have aught to dowith the husband

Only her two sons Maurice and Fran-cis have remained loyal to the formersocial queen and it was through themfinally it Is said that old Frank Workbrought his daughter to submission Hegave her the alternative It Is declaredof sharing with her sons in his vast es-

tate or of beggaring both herself andher former 1C she cut loosefront her husband the latter Is sheelected to stand by him

Though professing still to love herhusband the wife finally gave way be-

fore her fathers demands and it issaid that the final arrangements forthe ranuncitlon will be completed InNew York on Monday

Batonyi ConsentedThe boys who have thus been

used to force their mother into submjsMon are sons by Mrs Batonyts formerhusband It is said here that Batonyihas consented to his wifes act andthat they parted after a most heart-rending scene

MBS Batonyi is In a nervous and dis-

traught condition and fears of a nervousbreakdown are entertained Her friendshave been informed for some time ofthe difficulties under which she has beenlaboring and in a spirit of unselfishness-rare among the elect have been strivingto lighten her burden by diverting hermind She was the guest of Mrs Reg-inald Vanderbldit at the horse show oneafternoon this week and during the en-tire afternoon Mrs devotedherself almost entirely to keeping theattention of her guestsocial lights have performed similar ser-vice

Mrs Batonyl is looking pale and care-worn and has Imparted to friends thatall her interest in life has gone out

History of Batonyiis a dashing looking young

fellow and is tolerably well known hereas a teacher of horsemanship His realname is said to be Arthur Cohn andFrank Work has declared that Batonyiwas at one time associated with thenortorius Payne Moore He was di-vorced In 1 1 from his first wife whohad been Hattie Smith a school teacherHe came originally from Hungary andfor announced that he was acount but he suddenly ceased to usethe title as an explanation that

In New YorkMrs BurkeRoche being a

the two were brought together by reason of their and soonbecame the veritable shadow ofthe beautiful society leader Half adozen times were reported marriedand when the truth did come out MrsBatonyi not only met with a storm ofopposition from her father but withbanishment from his presence as welland a diminution of Income whichseriously embarrassed her ambitions asa leader of the Newport set

One of the final blows leading up totodays announced was the advertisement which Frank Work recently caused to be inserted In the NewYork and Newport papers placing hisNewport mansion Elm one ofthe show places of the summer socialcapital on the marketMrs Bartonyi had hoped to retain herright to hold court there and this blowit Is believed helped to weaken herspirit and put In condition inwhich she was unable to resist the ultimatum of her Implacable parent
