Sensation Legal
Battle Promised

PARIS. July 8.-Count Boni de Gas
tellane, whose former wife was mar
rted yesterday In London to Prince
Helie de Sagan. the counts cousin,
has opened what promises to be a
sensational legal battle for the posses
sion OF his three children, the off
spring of his marriage with Miss Anna
Gould. Matre Bonnet. counsel for
the count, has petitioned the court to
reindorse his clients right to restrain
Jay temporarily on account of the
child's illness and because of the in
sufficient care he is receiving at Yer
sailles during the absence OF his
mother, Matre Bonnet stated today
that decided move will be made in
few days when he asks the court
to give the custody Of all the children
to the count on the grounds that the
Princess de Sagan is not suitable
protector for them, In so much as she
is under the complete domination and
control of Prince Helie who is un-
worthy to hold the position of father
to the children He stated that the
prince and Anna were together before
they were married.

NEW YORK. July S.-Nearly every
resident OF New York swallowed a lit.

morning. 1t was corrosive poison, so
deadly that enough to cover 1O-cent

the city water few could have escaped
drinking some.
Residents saw men emptying sew.
eral barrels, one Of which at least was
marked "vitriol." into Crotona lake In
the afternoon. "Yes, two barrels and
a half OF copper sulphate or blue vitrol
was emptied into Crotona lake" said
Chief Engineer I. NJ. Da varona of
the water department when asked for
an explanation. Each barrel contain.
ed 400 pounds. or about fifty gallons,
But the entire amount represents only
three parts vitriol to one billion parts
water, SO It couldn't hurt the city's
water drinkers In the least. A vege
table organism called anabena always
developes in the water in early sum
