BABE OF HUMBLE
ORIGIN IS HEIR
ADOPTED by Marquis de Mont
ferriereS.
Of AMERICAN PARENTAGE.

Washington. Dec. 19.-Instructions
were received today which doubtless
will result in an American child Of OBJ.
scure and unsantified parentage falling
heir to the title ana estates of the
Marquis de Montferrieres, d scion OF
one Of the richest and most distin-
guished families in France.
The instructions were cabled by the
Marquis de Montferrieres following an
investigation which has revealed that
a beautiful baby boy now being rear
ed in the noblemans home is the off
spring Of a Virginia country girl in
stead Of a Carroll of CarrolltOwn.
The Marquis am Marquise de Mont
terriers were without an heir. They
were DESTROYS of adopting a child, and
bein gadmirers of American character,
they decided that a babe of American
parentage would best preserve the
traditions of their house They com
municated their intentions to Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Jenkins, Of one Of the first
families of Baltimore. An ADVERTISE
ment inserted in a Baltimore paper
furnished a clue to baby. 1t read:
FOR ADOPTION-A healthy, male
infant. Apply to -- - - Win
chester, Va"
- Showed Them the Child.
The name of the advertiser is not
given, but Miss Johnson said that she
knew in Winchester, Mrs. Elizabeth S.
Baker, a woman active in philantrOpic
work and of excellent social standing.
Mrs. Baker described the infant,
Miss Lowe and Miss Johnson say, as
the offspring of a couple in whose
veins flowed the best blood Of Vir-
ginia.
Miss Lowe insisted that she must
have assurances of the child's honor
able birth. Mrs. Baker departed from
her rule, Miss Lowe said later. and
stated that William Fairfax of collat-
eral descent from Thomas. Lord Fair
fax, was the child's father and that
Elizabeth Carroll of the CAROLS Of
Carrollton, was the mother.
4 Babe Taken to France.
Word of the location of the babe
who fulfilled so we'll the requirements
demanded by Marquis de MOntferrier
was sent to him. He replied that he
was overioyed, and gave orders that
the babe be brought 70 France with all
possible despatch.
Mrs. Baker arrived in Paris six
months ago. The Marquis de Mont
Terrier showered marks OF gratitude
upon Mrs. Baker, inviting her TO his
home and entertaining her during her
sojourn in Paris.
> 1t has Just been learned that the |
babe is of humble origin and that
Virginia country CIR! is the mother. |
Foster parents have adopted the child
and will rear it as their own

Arguments for and against an order
OF the city court, to have the wine.
whiskey. beer and slot machines seized
in the Eagles club room last month
destroyed, in accordance with the pro
visions Of the Blind Tiger" law, will
be heard by Judge Converse Friday
morning.
Prosecutor Jessup will argue that
the Blind Tiger law is constitutional
and that tn court in compliance with
this law, has no choice but to order
the destruction of the booze and gam
bling devices now in the hands of the
police.
Attorney John F. Robbins, who has
been retained by the local Eagles ae-
RE. will argue against the issuance of
such an order, on the ground that the
police had no authority to seize the ar
ticles now held by them, it being main
tanned by Mr.. Robbins that the Blind
