Foster Parents Lose
Fight for Child
Justice Creenbaun1 Ciues
7-Year-OId Girl Into
Custody Of Her Father

A decision by Justice Greenbaum In
the Supreme Court yesterday, award
ing the custody of seven -year-old Libby
Weingrofsky to her father, Julius
Weingrofsky, gladdened one heart and
saddened two. Libby's mother COM
mitted suicide and Weingrofsky has
not had his child with him since she
was baby of six months, when she
was placed in the Home for Hebrew
Infants.
Weingrofsky is now remarked and
has a home where he is able to care
for his daughter and her long absence
has strengthened rather than dimin-
shed the affection Of the father for bis
offspring.
On the other hand, Libby, through
the agency of the Free Synagogue Chill
dren's Adoption Committee, has become
the object of affection of foster
mother and father, whose home she has
frightened for four years, and who
have sought to keep Libby with them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Nessim, who
took Libby from the Home for Hebrew
Infants, although never legally adopt
ing her, have come to regard the girl
as their own and fought the efforts Of
the father to deprive them OF her Gus,
tody and comfort. Mrs. Nessim said
she could not live without Libby. She
feared she would die of broken heart
if the child was taken from her.
An effort was made at the hearing
hafore Justice Greenbaum to prove
that Weingrofsky had practically
abandoned his child when she was in
the Institution and that because OF
this that she was turned over to the
~ Mrs. Stephen S Wise wife of Rabbi
Wise of the Free Synagogue, said
Weingrofsky was a total stranger to
the child. After long consideration
Of the case, Justice Greenbaum de-
cided yesterday that Weingrofsky
should have his daughter.
"A study Of the evidence" said JUS
tice Greennbaum, would justify no
other conclusion than that tho father
never intended to abandon the child"

Conference Report Is
Passed Without Change
After 5 Hours Debate:
Now Goes to the Senate
Demand of Union
Labor Rejected
Beatenin Congress, Heads

Protest to the President

From The Tritune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The House
to-day adopted the conference report
on railroad legislation without change
by a vote of $50 to $50. Previously II
had voted down motion by Repre-
sentative Barkley, of Kentucky, Demo
crat, to recommit the report to the
conference, by vote of 228 to III.
The bill now goes to the Senate
where it will be taken up early next
week, with a reasonable assurance that
it will be sent to President Wilson for
his signature before the roads are re-
turned to private ownership and op-
Grafton, March /.
rejected the demand Of organized labor
that the provisions Of the bill creating
machinery for the voluntary settlement
Of labor disputes be stricken from the
measure. The manifesto demanding the
defeat of the bill, which WAS submitted
to Congress by President Samuel Com
pers of the American Federation of
Labor and chiefs of the railroad
brotherhoods Thursday, members de-
clared, caused enough of thom to ere
sent" what they termed the "dictato-
rial attitude of organized labor" to Sc
cure passage Of the measure without
change.
Protest to the President
Beaten in Congress, representatives
of the brotherhoods carried their case
to President Wilson. They called at
the White House in the afternoon and
testing against the passage of the bill
and stating that the labor provisions
were wholly unacceptable to the rail
road workers.
Opponents of the labor demands de-
clared during the five hours of debate
on the bill in the House that the issue
raised by the manifesto of labor was
government ownership. Republicans
and Democrats charged that organized
labor launched their fight against the
conference committee bill as move
for government ownership of the roads
and the eventual adoption of the Plumb
plan.
'No man can vote against this con-
terence report, except the man who is
so enamored of public ownership that
he is willing to invite nationwide dis
tress and disaster beginning March l
in the vain hope that out of the wreck
will come government ownership" de-
clared Republican Leader Mondell in
urging tho passage of the bill.

grcss, no matter what his views on de-
tails of legislation. is honor bound to

Search
On for Master
Bond Pl0tter
Nicholas Arnstein, Known
in Paris, London and
Monte Carlo as Well as
Here, Said To Be Fence

A general alarm is out for Nicholas
Arnstein, known in London, Paris and
Monte Carlo, wanted by the police here
as the master fence" associated with
the five men arrested recently in an al.
legged S5,o00,0O0 Wall Street bond theft
plot. Arnstein also is known as ]. w
Arnold, James Wilfred Adair and
"Nicky" Arnold. He is the husband of
Fannie Brice, the variety actress.
Following the vain pursuit the day
before of Il tip that Arnstein was in
Huntington, l.. L., the police believe that
Alnstein may have slipped out of the
country last week, when Joseph and
Irving Gluck, Herbert and Rudolph Bu-
nora and Edward Furey were arrested
for completely in the alleged plot to
loot Wall Street.
It also became known that, before
sailing for Europe yesterday Judge
Wadhams, of General Sessions, had is
sued bench warrant on an indictment
charging Arnstein, we'll known as an
less wire tapping" and "sick engineer
gang, with criminally receiving stolen
property.
Receipt Of Stolen Bonds Charged
The specific charge against Arnstein,
who Is as we'll known on the Continent
as he Is on Broadway, was that he re-
ceived $4,000 worth of Crucible Steel
certificates stolen from Clarke, Childs
Co., of this city.
Sheriff Briggs Of Suffolk County and
FIVE Of his deputies descended on q
house in Huntington, L. l., Friday
right, on information that Arnstein
was there. The tip proved ground
less.
While Detectives Mindheim, Meyer
and Brown, Of Commissioner Laheys
staff, we're covering all Arnsteins g
known haunts here, the belief was
growing that, having large sums Of
money at his disposal, Arnstein would
not have remained here after his asso-
GATES were apprehended.
One of the live men under arrest is
said to have made a confession that in
Attorney Richard c. Murphy declared
that when Arnstein is apprehended he
would be held under at least $25000O
bail.
Arnstein's alleged completely in the
bond plot indicates. according to Mr..
Murphy that oldtime confidence men
OF the Gondorf type, are working with
messenger boys responsible fer recent
raids on financial establishments here
and in other cities.
The discovery was made weeks ago
that these od-timers were changing
out" in Wall Street, but the police then
believed that they we're merely play
ing the market with money acquired in
gaming establishments they frequented
after dark.
Visited Furey's Room
The District Attorneys office says
that just before Furey was arrested it
was learned that Arnstein was a frc-
quent visitor at the formers room.
Arnstein was arrested in London in
1912 by Detective Flood, of this city,
on an American charge Of swindling.
According to the District Attorneys
Office, Arnstein actually aided the men
arrested here in disposing Of about
$1,60o.o00 worth of stolen securities. 1t
is believed that he recently had about

COPENHAGEN. Feb. 21.-The
"Berlingske Tidende's" Flens-

covered forty-two German cannon
and ten machine guns in working

, spirited away, but they eventually
reached the possession Of United States
officials, and they proved Of inestimable
value to the government In the great
task OF locating the German agents
within our gates and tracing their &C.
tivities.
The papers included flles from the
German Embassy at Washington, with
hundreds Of letters between Ambe ssador
Won Bernstor and officials in Berlin.
and both the official and personal files
from the Office of DR.. Heinrich Albert.
the German financial agent. Among
Won BernstortY's and Albert's corre-
spcndents in this country were many
German-Americans in high Anancia!
and social circles, whose real attitude
toward the country Of their adoption
the public knows too little about.
Letters Reveal Activities
OF German.Americans
There were stacks Of letters between
Albert and Won BernstorfY, az we'll a. a
mass Of letters and copies Of letters
that peussed between Albert and vari-
Gus German agents. A full set Of Of
ficial ledgers, personal. account books,
check books and cancelled vouchers
showed exactly the amounts Of money
disbursed to German agents, the dates
OF the payments and iuet who the
agents were that got the money.
Tho correspondence with German
agents included secret codes and a list
Of the false names under which each
agent was to operate. Several Of the
agents had worked out an elaborate
code for meeting places In New York
City. II, for example. q certain Ger
man telephoned to one Of his associates
and suggested meeting him in front
Of Borough Hall in Brooklyn, at 7
o'clock, 1t meant that he would meet
him in q drug store at Times Square
at $3.50.
One set Of correspondence and as-
counts related entirely to the purchase
Of "The New York Evening Mail" but
both Won Bernstorff and Albert evi-
IDENTIFY were unwilling to have detailed
Information about this q matter Of
common knowledge to members Of the
embassy staff who might have access
to the account books. Consequently
"The Evening Mail" account was known
simply as Account X"
