Former Miss de Haven, Wilt of
Baron von Alten, Seeks
Special Act.
CASTS OFF HER CHILDREN
Will fteeegnlze Them Only When They
Quit Germany—In Danger of
coming Destitute—$15,000
a Year involved.
Now York.—Congress, through the
passage of a special act, will shortly
askoil to restore to citizenship the Bar
oness Augusta Louise de Haveu-Alten,
the former Miss de Haven of New
York, who in 1883 married the Baron
Kberhard von Alten, a German officer.
Caught In Budapest when the revolu
tion broke out In February of last
year, the baroness, who is 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 oil
Immigration 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 trust fund
created by her grandmother, who was
the widow of Admiral Abraham Bige
low, U. 8. 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*
pronchlng destitution."
When very young Mrs. de Have#
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 to
live In Germany. She 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 s formal separa
tion agreement with her husband. In
1911, she said, she left Germany and
has never seen her husband since.
Her Funds Here Seised.
Two years later she again brought
suit. This time she charged her has-
band with misconduct. The war sus
pended all proceedings, for the law
would not allow litigation against an
officer on active duty.
Mrs. de Haven's interest In the trust
fund of her grandmother, Mrs. Louise
Blgelow, 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 funds.
"About February, 1919, riots snd 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. 1 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 mads
for a train to take the German refu
gees back to Germany.
Borrowed rom Dressmaker.
"The train took 24 hours to reach
point on the outskirts of Vienna. The
Germans went on toward Germany. I
got off In the railroad yard. All I had
with me wss two smsU handbags. I
had nothing to eat or drink on the
train."
Because they sided with Germsny in
the war Mrs. de Haven said she broke
ofT relations with her children. She
added In her declaration that she
would recognize them only when they
came to this country snd becsme citi
zens.
"It Is certain," she continued, "that
unless relief by special act of congress
In restoring me to citizenship Is speed
lly afforded I shall be penniless and in
dire want before I can regain my cltl
senshlp through the operation of the
eult for divorce. Of the borrowed mon
ey, $4,000, I brought with me to this
country, only about $8,000 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 s passport,
she said, on the sdvlce of Colonel
Yates.
"My only wish la to become sn 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
I wish. I do not care whether I get
my German money or not All I wish
is to become an American, a good
America*."

GIRL FIGHTS MEAN CANDITS
Twelve-Year-Old Child Knocked Down
In Battle Over Penny Bank
Ml New York.
New Yortc.—This the story of a
little girl's brave fight aguinst the
two m«'Htie*t burglars In New York:
Margaret tlugney, twelve years old.
was asleep In her home In West Twen
ty-fifth street when she was awakened
by a noise In an adjoining room. Her
parents being absent, she called:
"Who's there?" snd, receiving no an
swer, turned on a light to discover
two inen rattling her hunk, containing
75 pennies. The men sprang for the
doorway, with the girl giving chase,
screaming at the top of her voice.
She caught the man with the hank,
meantime lighting off his companion,
who was endeavoring to stifle her
screams, and finally was knocked un
conscious with a blow on the fore
head with her own hank.
The men escaped, taking the bank
with them, ami neighbors a few mo
ments later broke In the house and
found Margaret Insensible on the
floor.

Oil May 29, 1010. at Metet, Kamerun
district, West Africa, there was wit
nessed a total eclipse of the sun. It
was In the afternoon. AH the "boys"
rsn to their houses, locked the doors
and went to bed. Some were sure they
would die out of doors. An observer
for the Carnegie institute came to take
notes on the sun's location, and the
inclination of Its rays. The natives
called him "the man who put the sun
out," and were puzzled to know why
he took the trouble to come to put it
out In Kamerun.
When he commenced to use his In
struments they wanted to know If he
was looking at God's town up In the
sun. What did God's town look like,
what did God look like, whom did he
see, what good did it do to look, any
way, could he see the road to heaven,
was It hot In heaven because It
hot on the sun?

Despite earnest government efforts to re
duce, as far as possible, the high cost of
clothing, there are certain unmistakable
signs that portend one thing only—fur
ther revisions upward in the price of wear

Weavers are paying record prices for
silks of all grades, and new increases are
forecast.
Raw wool is selling at high figures, and
the market continues strong.
Makers of cotton goods tell of limited ma

is looked for.

We can do this for you because our
cleaning method re-vitalizes as well
as
cleanses clothing.
The process is called dry, because no
water is used. Our sole helps are a neu
tral soap, cleaners naphtha and finely
designed cleaning equipment.
There is no rubbing or scrubbing—the
process is one that involves only a gentle
sousing up and down in specially con
structed cylinders. Your apparel is first
washed in a balanced bath of pure naph
tha and soap, then rinsed in naphtha alone,
and finally dried by an electric dryer. Dull
silks brighten up. Old silks become
younger. You are enabled with ease of
mind to meet any social or business obli
gation that may present itself.
Call us up-—let us conserve your
