COUNT bonn HAS AN INNING
Character of His Former Wife Com
promised in Suit.

Paris.-Count Boni de Castellane had
his innings Wednesday in the palace Of
justice when his suit asking that the
custody of his children be given their
grandmother, the Marquise de Castel-
lane, came up in the first chamber.
Maitre Bonnet gave an interesting ac-
count of the premarital relations Of Anna
and DE Sagan and introduced evidence
to prove that they Travelled together in
Italy and France in September of 1907
and then lived at the Chateau du Maris
during October. In June, 1905, they
went to a hotel at Versailles, but would
not live in the same part of the hotel
as the children.
The scandal of their behavior was so
great that the guests would not permit
their children to associate with the DE
Castellane children. They then aban.
doned the children, leaving no directions
for their care or education.

NO CHILDREN IN $50 YEARS
Cornell Professor Says Race Suicide
Is on Increase.

Ithaca, y. Y.-Pointing out that ia
the last fifty years there has been de-
crease in the proportion Of children born
TO every 1000 women OF child bearing
age OF l52 to a thousand, OF about 30 a
year, DIR. Walter =. Wilcox, head Of the
department OF statistics at Cornell Uni-
versity, told class of Cornell students
today;
These figures indicate that II changes
like these in progress in this country
during the past half century were TO
continue unchecked for a century and a
half more, there would be no children
left"
Rejecting as unsound and not proved
the Speneerian theory that the advance
of civilization means a decrease in the
birth rate, and also the conception Of
some specialists that the spread Of alco-
holism in civilized countries causes de-
cline, Prof. Wilcox said very plainly;
The real reason for the decline is that
in modern times, and particularly in the
last half century, the control Of births
and the birth rate has come under hu.
man control in a sense and TO degree
never before true"
