Special Correspondence to The Press
PARIS, Dec. 4.-Most children of
great wealth are to be pitied, but
the plight of Boni, George and Jay
de Castellane is sad indeed.
Thehy are now a bone of conten-
ton between the husband and ex-
husband of their mother, once
Anna Gould, later Countess Cas-
tellane, now the wife of Prince de
6agan
Their father Is one of the wild
est, most dissipated roues in all
France. His affairs with other
women drove Anna to get d.
vorce from him. The custody of
the hapless children was thrashed
over in the divorce courts. Boni
made a great fuss over them, and
wanted them awarded to him
with large yearly sum for their
maintenance, of which Boni would
have the expenditure.
Divorced from Boni, Jay Gould's
daughter stepped gracefully from
the frying pan into the fire by mar
rying Prince Helie de Sagan, a man
with a moral nature evidently q
few shades darker than Castel-
lanes.
Now comes Boni, In another suit,
demanding again the custody of the
children, on the ground that both
his former wife and her present
husband are Immoral persons"
and unfit to have the custody of
the children.
The testimony adduced at a re-
cent hearing was of nature anus
ing to Parisians. horrifying to most
Americans.
Boni's lawyer. Bonnet, declared
that he could prove that Anna and
de Sagan lived together and trav-
sled together for several months
before they were married. Further
than this the character of the for
mer Countess de Castellane was
not specifically attacked
But de Sagan-witnesses were
put on the stand to show that both
while he was paying attentions to
his present wife, and since their
marriage, he had had various mis-
tresses, and did not even take the
trouble to conceal his attentions to
them.
Bonnet charged that de Sagan
met one Of his mistresses while on
the way to England to marry Anna.
He charged that on the night be-
fore Anna sailed for New York she

No man has a cleaner record with
the department that J. L. Bristow, and
l will get that statement over the sig
nature of Theodore Roosevelt if neces-
sary."
The Bristow s1ander was started by
the grafters themselves who were
smoked out of their holes by Bristow
while Re was assistant postmaster gen.
eral. Bristow was digging so deep into
the rottenness and corruption of the
postoffice department that influences
high up were set at work, it is claim
ed, to get him out before he spoiled the
gratis of great men. These Influences.
which may have been Burton's com
munity of interests were strong
enough to get Bristow transferred" to
another job where he could not annoy
them with his impolite Investigations.
That the graft still exists in the post
office department is indicated by the
fact that hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are expended in rebuilding and re-
finishing and rearrang1ng postoffice
buildings which are already entirely
adequate.
