Caught in Budapest when the revoln- tlon broke out in February of last year, the baroness, who is now knowrn a8 Mrs. Louise de Haven, was forced te flee to Vienna as a German refugee, and after many vicissitudes reached Switzerland practically destitute. On money borrowed from a professor in Geneva, a childhood friend, sl reached New York several weeks ago. The question of the restoration of Mrs. de Haven to citizenship wat taken up by the house committee on fimmigration and naturalization and she recently appeared before the com- mittee and told her life story. “Under German law her personal property has passed into the custody of her hus- band and her Interests in a tru;t fund|: e me e soesnn e | SPEAKER FLAYS NON- PARTISAN LEAGUE few, U.

She added in her declaration that she would recognize them only when they came to this country and became eciti- zens. “It is certain,” she continued, “thutl unless relief by special act of congress in restoring me to citizenship is speed- fly afforded I shall be penniless and in dire want before I can regain my citi- zenship through the operation of the suit for divorce. Of the borrowed mon- ey, $4,000, I brought with me to this country, only about $3,000 is now left.” Representative Isaac Slegel ques- tioned Mrs. de Haven regarding her use of a passport as a German subject when traveling out of Austria. The use of a German passport, she said, was against all her instincts, but there was no other way for her to get out of Budapest. She used such a passport, she said, on the advice of Colonel Yates. “My only wish Is to become an Amer- ican, to live over here, and, if possible, to have money to live on. I am not well enough to go to work. That is all ¥ wish. I do not care whether I get my German money or not. All I wish. fs to become an American, a good American.” . Tip to Contractors.
