PAGE SIX BISMARCK DAILY TRIB BARONESS BECS U.S, CITIZENSHIP. Former Miss de Haven, Wife of Baron von A'ten, Seeks Special Act. CASTS OFF HER HILOEN Will Recognize Them Only When They Quit Germany—in Danger of Be- coming Destitute—$15,000 a Year Involved. New York.—Congréss, through. the passage of a special act, will shortly be asked to restore to citizenship the Bar- oness Augusta Louise de Haven-Alten, the former Miss,de Haven of New York, who in 1888 married the Baron Eberhard von Alten, a German officer. Caught in Budapest when ‘the reyolu- tion broke out in February of year, the baroness, who fs now known as Mrs. Louise de Haven, was forced to 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, she reached New York several weeks ago. The question of the restoration of Mrs. de Haven to citizenship was taken up by the house committee on immigration and naturalization and she recently appeared before the com- mittee and told her Ife story, Under German law her personal property has passed into the custody of her hus- Dand and her interests in a trust fund created by her grandmother, who was the widow of Admiral Abraham Bige- low, U. S. N., was seized by the enemy alien property custodian, Her attor- ney, Walter Bruce Howe of Washing- ton. told the committee that Mrs. de Haven was “inevitably and rapidly ap- proaching destitution.” When very young Mrs, de Haven went with her father to live in Swit- zerland and was brought up near Gene- va. On her nineteenth birthday she married Baron von Alten and went te live in Germany. Sbe had two daugh- ters, who are now married and living in that country. “My married life was not happy.” Mrs. de Haven told the committee. In 1910 she entered into a formal separa- tion agreement with her husband. In 1911, she said, she left Germany and has never seen her husband since. Her Funds Here Seized. Two years later she again brought suit. This time she charged her hus- band with misconduct.

D., June 7.— William Langer, candidate for governor on the anti-Townley ticket was greeted by a tremendous crowd here Saturday wher he made his fourth day in Dunn county. Halliday, were filled to overflowing at his earl- ier meetings and hundreds of farm- ers shopping here today remained to “hear the next governor.” They re- ported many more of the neighbors were interested. Today Langer cele- brates with the farmers of northern Hettinger county at a big picnic to be held at Willa. Speaking in McKenzie county Fri- day and Thursday in Williams county, he wound up a week's campaign which he says has “heen surprisingly satis- factory.” At Ray in (Williams county Augitoriums at would not allow litigation against an officer on active duty. Mrs. de Haven’s interest in the trust fund of her grandmother, Mrs. Louise Bigelow, was $15,000 a year, and this amount was paid by the Northern ‘Trust. company of Chicago until the alien property custodian took charge of the. finds, “Abaut Eebruary, 1919, riots and rev- olution broke out in Budapest,” Mrs, de Haven told the committee. “On the day of the outbreak an immense mob was resisted by the police near the ho- tel where I was. After the, conflict some 30 dead and many wounded lay in the street near my hotel. The dead were brought into the corridor of the hotel and then the mob came in and seized everything In the dining room that could be eaten or drunk. The dis- turbance lasted all night. “In this situation I decided to accept a German passport. I did not go my- self to the German authorities to ask for it, but I sent a friend who obtained it for me. Arrangements were made for a train to take the German refu- gees back fo Germany. Borrowed From Dressmaker. “The train took 24 hours to reach a point on the outskirts of Vienna, The Germans went on toward Germany. 1 got off in the railroad yard. All I had with me was two small handbags. 1 had nothing to eat or drink on the train.” Because they sided with Germany in the war Mrs. de Haven sald she broke off relations with her children. She added in her declaration that she would recognize them only when they came to this country and became citi- zens, “It is certain,” she continued, “that unless relief by special act of congress in restoring me to citizenship 1s 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 Siegel ques- tioned Mrs. de Haven regarding her use of © 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, shé’'said, on the advice of Colonel Yates, “My only wish {fs 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 fs all I wish. I do not care whether I get my German money or not. All I wish is to become an American, a good American.” Tip to Contractors.

To Investigate Bank “I say to you, , fellow citizens of North Dakota, that if I am elected governor, that before the sun sets on the first day I am in office I will see that there is a committee appointed to investigate the Bank of ‘North va- kota.” He hurled it at his audiences: “{ want to know; I want to find out why farmers in ‘North Dakota could not get loans from the State Bank when a man in St. Paul got $50,000 of your money! I want to find owt why a friend of Jim Waters liv- ing in Wisconsin got $20,000; why Ray McKaig, who is in Idaho work- ing for Townley, got $7,500 on land which the assessor. stated was only worth that amount at its fullest value I want to find out about ali these things. “I want to find out why the farmers could not cash their hail insurance warrants when this money was being handed out.” Then he added, “I will make this pledge to you that if I find anything crooked in the State Bank of North Dakota, every man responsible for it will go to the pen- itentiary! O’Hare Pardon He took up a new subject: “Another thing I will do will be to write to Woodrow Wilson and in that |! letter I will say ‘Mr. President, a few months ago the former governor of North Dakota wrote you a letter ask- ing you to pardon Kate Richards O'Hare. You pardoned her. I wish to tell you that the people of ‘North Da- kota do not thank you for having pardoned her.” Everywhere he has spoken, farm- ers who were known béfore to have been “luke-warm,” or who while not! members of the ‘Nonpartisan league have voted its tickets, have veen satisfied that he has been presenting the true facts. Leaguers, too, by the scores have been turned’ from Town- leyism, according to these voters themselves. The interest evidenced in the whirlwind campaign made by Langer was evidenced especially at Ray in Williams county where he was sched- uled to speak at 8 o'clock. Muddy roads and heavy rains made -the trav- eling from Alamo slow, but despite the fact that he did not reach Ray until 1030, the crowd lingered and then all couldn't get into the big hall. The audience was made up of at least 60 per cent from the rural districts. which convicted H. J: Hagan, presi- dent of the Scandinavian-American bank at Fargo, are not the only farmers who are convinced of the crookedness of the bank and the banking board controlled by. the Townley machine, is evidenced at all the Langer meetings, as he is using with telling effect the photographs of the documentary evidence—the ori- ginals of which were by coust order turned over to 0.

BUSY Mexico City, June 7,—The_ revolu- tion which overthrew President Car- ranza and “culminated in his death was attended by. many interesting cr exciting episodes which could not be reported to the outside while the coup was-in progress. Some of the discoveries which have. followed the installation .of new authority in the capital city, ad have been enter- taining. Notable was that" revealed by ad interim. officials of ‘the’ treasury de- partment who. announced they had found evidence of a fraud which had netted somebody an ‘amount estimat- ed at about 1,000,000° pesos. The papers here say that, when infal- cificables;.(paper money: With which the country .was. flooded ‘during the last previous revolution) were ‘burn- ed. about ‘one-quarter’ of the amount officially reported to ‘have been de- stroyed had been previously extracted and sold at the current of 10: centa- vos on the peso. The-Carranza gov- ernment had been taking the old pa- per money in as a ‘sort of super- tax on import duties-and other taxes, Later it. was supposed to be burned. While, no disorders occured in the capital during the @vacuation by the Carranza government and the occupa- tion. by the liberal revolutionary forces, nor did ‘public services cease functioning for an instant, the in- habitants of the capital were victims both of inconveniences and profiteers. Food prices increased and . change which has been the ‘Dyugbear of every- body since silver began its sensa- tional rise months ago, sold at a la percent premium. The Indians who sell produce in the markets demanded metal cur- rency and got it. Many foreigners, fearing a protracted struggle and a food shortage, laid @ ample: supplies. One American housewife bought 30 chickens which she put to roost in the bathroom of her apartment. She was too excited to heed the advice of the Indian woman who sold the fowls that she would buy ducks. The spectacle of a city of 1,000,000 inhabitants absolutely cut off from communication with the world for almost nine days was not the least interesting phase of the evacuation by Carranza. Both cable and tele? grayth communication. ceased about 9 p. m. on May 6. Until May 15 the cable lines were useless. ‘An unrell- ‘able line was set up ‘by the. govern- ment to the American. border in. the afternoon of May.8, but it was de- voted exclusively to’ military and’ out- going business. Nothing was receiv- ed from the outside, world until the eable lines were restored, Because of numerous relays and other wire. troubles,. those, npeea ES from the capital could not learn. if their messages reached: their destination. The same conditions ob- tained more or less throughout those parts of the republic distant from the border and, the coasts. Foreign .press correspondents filed | stories on the national lines, trusting to luck that part of them might see print. As safeguards they left sum- maries with the military authorities for possible transmission by. govern- ment. wireless, filed other summaries with the cable company and still oth- ers with travelers leaving in attempts to reach the border.

IT PARIS WRECKS, FLOODS CELL IN POLICE STATION Lee Paris, 46 Main street, was ar: rested Saturday night on & charge of drunkeness. and placed in a cell at police headquarters. But the cell apparently did not suit Lee's aesthetic tastes and he express- ed fiis displeasure in most emphatic fashion, It was about 10:30 p, m. when he; was locked up. When .a aight policeman returned to the head- quarters as he -was going off duty aarly Sunday morning -he witnessed ihe extent of Lee's wrath. The basement of the city hall was fiooded. Lee's cell was flooded. The windows in the’cell were broken. The ‘aucets. off the lavatory were. broken and whatever, elge that could be brok- en was smashed. And Lee was still in.a rage, the policeman said. + The Beds Escane He had torn toose the only avail- able piece of wood.in ‘the bare ceil from the layatory ,and poked it through the cell bars, breaking the window glass which is between two sets pf bars, He ithen proceeded <o wreck havoc in the.cell. The beds escaped damage because they are sim- ply iron frames hung to the side of the wall. There was no chair or other furniture in the cell, or it would have been wrecked.. The monetary loss caused’ by Lee won't amount to much, as there was very little that he could | break, but he did a good job, as far as it went. (Paris was found at his home by policemen, who had been called there, wrecking furniture. Having ‘been in- terupted in the work in his own home he evidently wanted to satisfy his craving in the police station. Susnended ‘Sentence Paris had a suspended jail sentence hanging over his head now. Last week |he was arrested on a charge of speeding and was given a suspendel jail sentence of twenty days. ris wife appeared for him, saying he was sick in bed, and this alone saved him from serving a sentence at the time. It is said this is not the first time Paris has wrecked furniture. Police were called to his home last summer and found him wrecking furniture, he said. Paris was taken to the county jail Sunday morning. TO DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP ‘argo, 'N.. D., June. 7.—The state college baseball championship will be decided during the week of June 7.
