Baron Fights to Take
Son From Heiress Wife
DE Korwins Separated at Start
of the War When the Former
Miss Young Came to u. S.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Divided allegi-
ance in the World War, which broke
out just at the time their son was
born, was followed to-day by an at
tempt of Baron Jospeh De Korwin,
former captain in the Polish army, to
obtain custody of his six-year- son,
now in the care of Mrs. Cecile Young
Hcyworth De Korwin. heiress of an
estate valued at $50 100000
Baron De Korwin, who was cap
tain in the Austrian army when the
war broke out, says he has not seen
lis son since 1914. In his bill Cap
tain De Korwin says his wife agreed
to take the child to Switzerland dur
ing the war, but that she came to
America and sympathized with the
Allied cause, while the captain fought
for Austria. Application for his sons
return to him was made in 8 writ of
habeas corpus before Judge Mckinley
in Superior Court to-day but the case
was continued until December 80.
The principles in the case gained
attention in 1918, when Federal au
thorities Investigated the S25, 900, ,0ON
estate left by Mr.. Young, Mrs. De
Korwin's father, with the intent Of
confscoting it under the alien property
act Mrs. De Korwin was finally ex-
empted on the ground that she had
senarated from her husband at the be-
ginning Of the war.

Caruso Sings 'sLa Juive'
And Then Attends Party
Famous Tenor at His Best, AL.
though Still Suffering From
Intercostal Neuralgia

Enrico Caruso appeared in LA Juive"
at the Metropolitan Opera House ,lst
night and sang as though he never had
heard of intercostal neuralgia, al
though it was said that he still was
suffering slightly from the malady. The
audience applauded him wildly at the
end of every act.
He was we'll enough TO have his
picture taken before the performance
and afterward went to Christmas tree
party arranged for his small daughter
at the Hotel Vanderbilt.
Others who took part in the opers
were Florence Easton, Orvile Harold
and Leon Rothier.
The seasons first performance Of
"Madama Butterfly" was given yester-
day afternoon at the Metropolitan
Opera House, with Miss Geraldine Far
lar in the title role. Her impersona-
ton retains its charm and is delight
fully free from exaggeration.
She gave her customary and touching
portrayal of the little woman Of Japan,
victim of the eternal illusion, and in
the scenes with the child rose to thrill
ing heights of maternal ecstasy There
was g new Pinkerton, Mario Chamlee,
who sang and acted with distinctio
Mr.. Scott, too, was at his best as
Sharpless. Altogether it was an cx-
ccllent performance

JudgeO.A. Rosalsky
Scores Henry Ford
AS Menace tOU. S.
Wealthy Automobile Maker
Attacked by Jurist as Ig-
norant Because of His
Anti-Semitic Propaganda

Henry Ford, Of Detroit, was singled
out yesterday by Judge Otto A. Rosal-
sky in his chambers as "the greatest
menace to American institutions" be-
cause of his professed anti-Semitism.
Judge Rosalsky had been presented by
the Daughters of Jacob with a new
judicial robe, and 4 lacked Ford in
thanking the organization for its gift.
He said he | in Lind law that
would make it a crime for any per-
son to libel race, or group of peo-
pie, or particular sect, or denomina-
ton. He said he was confident if
"this ignorant man" Ford were brought
before a criminal court under such a
law as he outlined "justicc would be
done to him"
Saying that the anti-Semtism that
now prevails in certain parts OF the
world is 'an attacl: by the unthinking,' -
Judge Rosalsky remarked in this CON
nection that "a man like Ford is the
greatest menace to American institu
tons, first, because he is an ignorant
man; secondly, because he uses his
we Alth improperly, and, third, he is not
inspired with the teachings and les
sons of Americanism.
He cited instances of service rem
dered by Jews to countries they lived
IN, despite the many tyrannies they
were orced to suffer, and that they
were firm upholders of American in
stitutions, and suggested that the
American people in response to the
courageous and unwarranted attacks
made by Ford and others of that type,
should drive him and his followers into
obscurity."
"Whilc we have few irresponsible
characters" he said, $50 have other
faiths. No race can claim monopoly
o. virtue. We have among us men who
commit vice and men who are noted
for their virtue, but think if record
were made of the contributions of the
American Jews to this country from
the days of Hayman Solomon to date,
you will find that we arc marching
with our Christian brethren side by
side for the purpose Of Strengthening
the foundations of our country and for
tie purpose of transmitting to our pos
terity country where justice, freedom
and equality will ALWAYS nrpyail 4"
