OF Another; Father
Is Her Husband

Child to Her to Keep as
Own; Now Mother Wants
Little One Brought Back

Mr.. and Mrs Karl Heidman, of 1852
West Ninety-eighth Street, appeare d
before Supreme Court Justice Erlanger
IN chambers yesterday in response to
a writ of habeas corpus obtained bv
Mrs. Marie Theresa Baco, a widow, who
seeks to make the couple surrender a
girl baby less than year old of whom
MIR. Heidman is alleged to be the
father and Mrs. Baco the mother.
AT the request of Charles Braunhut,
of 28O Broadway, counsel for the
Heidmans, an. adjournment was taken
until Wednesday, when referee may
be appointed. The case was barely out
lined before Justice Erlanger and no
testimony was taken.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Heidman want to
keep the child, believing that they can
give it better home than can Mrs
Baco. They have no children of their
own. According to Mr.. Braunhut's
brief outline of what his clients in
tended to prove in answer to the
mothers demand for her child. the
baby was turned over to Mrs. Heidman
by Mrs. Baco.
Mrs. Baco and Mrs. Heidmann are
the daughters of Porto Ricans. whose
plantations adjoin. They have known
each other from childhood. But until
she received a telegram from Mrs. Baco
last August, Mrs. Heidmann did not
know, according to Mr. Braunhut, of
the intimacy between her girlhood
friend and her husband.
The telegram summoned her to Mrs
Baco's boarding house, the attorney
said, and there Mrs. Baco thrust the
baby girl into her friends arms crying
Here, take it! I don't want anything
more to do with it,"
Mrs. Heidmann. her attorney con-
tinued, took the child home, ponderine
On her resemblance to Mr.. Heidmann
Mr.. Heidmann acknowledged that the
child was his. He had arranged for
the medical attention and care which
Mrs. Baco had required and had thought
that she was going to keep the child
Until recently, Mr.. Braunhut said, the
Heidmanns had no suspicion that Mrs
Baco had repented of her bargain and
wanted her child.

Drunkenness No Excuse
For Crime, Lords R.lle
British House Reverses De.
cision of Appeal Court in
Case of Murderer

LONDON, March 5.-The House Of
Lords ruled to-day that drunkenness is
not an excuse for crime by ordering
that conviction for murder be restored
in the case of Arthur Beard, who was
condemned to death for numbering
thirteen-year-old girl in Chester. thus
reversing the decision of the Criminal
Court of Appeal, which reduced the
crime to manslaughter.
Beard, while under the influence of
drink, strangled the little girl. and
plea Of drunkenness was put in during
his trial. 1t is understood the death
sentence will not be carried out.
The case of Beard was brought be-
fore the House of Lords in December.
He had been convicted Of murder, and
it was the first time the upper house
of Parliament had dealt in similar
case where drunkenness was the ex-
cuse. The Court of Criminal Appeal
had quashed the verdict of guilty be-
cause of the prisoners intoxication
and commuted the sentence of death to
one of twenty years Imprisonment.
The House of Lords at the time re-
served judgment on an appeal brought
by the crown authorities, but the Home
Secretary informed the house that the
penalty Of death would not be exacted,
no matter what the final verdict was.

Turks Predict War
On Allied Forces
In Asia in Spring
Nearly Million Nationalists
Under Mustapha Kemal,
Real Ruler, Will Fight,
Constantinople III r 8

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 5.-While
the announcement that the Turks will
be left in Constantinople has been
welcomed, especially by the Sultan's
supporters, it is daily becoming clearer
that Mustapha Kemal's forces in Asia
Minor will not accept peacefully the
partitioning of Asiatic Turkey, which
the Supreme Council is believed to con-
template. 1t is universally conceded
Nustapha Kemal represents the real
power Of Turkey.
= Although the British, French and
Italians hold .Constantinople and the
Straits with their nayies, Allied tenure
of occupied portions of Asiatic Turkey
is being vigorously contested. Musta-
pha kemal's organized forces are vari-
ous,y estimated at from 500 900 to .000.-
900, with the cooperation of various
Arab and kurd bands. His supporters
predict war this spring, or sooner, if
the Greeks are left in Smyrna and the
French in Cilicia
Through their control of the Turkish
Chamber of Deputies, it is asserted,
Mustapha Kemal's Nationalists Writ
ually dominate the Constantinople gov
6 ernment and laugh at Allied threats to
the Sultan and Allied naval display in
the Straits. The real government is at
Angora, beyond reach of naval guns.
PARIS, March 5.~-The total number
of Armenians who were victims in the
massacre in the Marash region of
Asiatic Turkey last month does not ex-
coed 5000, according to detailed infor-
nation received by French officials.
Reports from London yesterday stated
the number would be between $4,000
and 10000.
French officials admit the gravity of
the incident, but point out it was i'm
possible to foresee and prevent the
massacre, as the army of occupation is
not large enough to furnish strong
guards at every point where the Turks
are likely to engage in an uprising.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 5.-Here-
after declaration Of citizenship by a
foreigner will not be sufficient to en-
title him to membership in the United

Two years ago the constitution of the

complete the citizenship process.
The miners also decided to conduct
an educational campaign among aliens,
giving them every assistance necessary
in preparing for examinations for COM

The council is understood to appre-
