caught by the gills. Every now and

entangled fish, then cast out the net

taken, and the catch brings high prices.
But the value of these is discounted

MISS BACO MUST SHOW
CAUSE TO GET HER BABY
Child Now With Adopted Parents
Will Remain Unless She
Proves Case.

NEW YORK, July 25.--What ap-
peared to be the final chapter in the
fight OF Miss Theresa Baco to regain
the custody OF her one-year-old
daughter. Louisa, was written yester-
day by Surrogate Cohalan, who issued
an order directing her to show Gauss
why the child should not continue
under the adoption of Karl Heide-
mann and his wife. Laura.
The curious tangle was revealed In
the supreme court when Miss Baco
attempted to obtain a writ of habeas
corpus, stating that Heidemann. q
teacher of languages, was the father
of her child. and that he and his wife
refused to permit her to see IT.
Heidenann admitted in court that
he had been intimate with Miss Baco,
but charged that the mother was un-
At to rear the child. Mrs. Heidemanu
appeared with her husband, and indi-
Gated her desire to care for the child.
A referee recommended that the
Heidemanns keep the baby. Thereupon
Heidemnnn filed an application for
formal adoption. In his petition the
elderly teacher states that he Is a
"private tutor with an extensive cli-
entele and ample means. and my wife,
a retired tutor, who owns real prop
erty OF great value"
The referees report was approved
by Supreme Court Justice Whitaker

Irving Cummings May
Set New Record for
Getting Love Notes

Irving Cummings. the screen
luminary, who makes his bow at
the Shubert-Garrick tonight as the
new leading man of the Garrick
Players in George NJ. Cohan's great
play, "a Prince There Was" seems
likely to hang up new record for
love letters from admirers. 1t is
probable that Cummings will even
put that famous matinee idol OF
other years, James X. Hackett, to
the blush, for the number and
ardor of his epIstles.
Mr.. Cummings was announced to
Washington as the Garrick Players
new leading man exactly one week
aRo. In the week that has elapsed,
before even this popular actor
could make his screen appearance,
he has been literally deluEcd with
collection of notes from feminine
admirers that constitute far and
away the heaviest mail the Gar
rick has received since the season
opened.
