Court Denies Woman
Custody of Daughter

Supreme Court Justice Wagner
denied yesterday the petition of Mrs.
Anna J. Eevinson. former wife of Her
man Kahn, az East Twentieth Street,
for part time custody of her four-year-
old daughter, Jeanne Carolyn Kahn.
The child's father obtained a divorce
from Mrs. Kahn who later married
Robert L. Levinson, and now lives at
2ol West Ninety-seventh Street.
Mrs. Levinson told the court Kahn
succeeded in mis- suit for divorce be-
cause she made no contest, having
reached an agreement with her hus-
band by the terms Of which they were
to divide custody of the child equally.
This agreement, she said, has not been
kept by Kahn. Mrs. Levinson said she
had been permitted to visit her daugh-
ter at the home of her former hus-
band, but never to see the child alone.
She said 1t was her desire to have the
little girl in her custody at stated
period for several weeks at time.
In opposing the petition counsel for
Kahn said Mrs. Levinson had been q
frequenter Of Greenwich Village. seek
ing there the society of radical think
ers under the guise of higher culture.
He referred to his former wife as an
atheist, whose habit 1t had been to
laugh when her child said PRAYERS.

Mr.. Mcdonald. "a large number of
motor ships are being constructed in
Germany. Diesels are being built by
Krupp's, the Vulcan works and by Sui

number are under construction by Bur-

William A. White Defes
Kansas Industrial Court
Posts Placard Expressing His
Sympathy for Striking

EMP0RIA, Kans., July 19.William
Allen White. editor of "T'he Emporia
Gazette" to-day defed the Kansas
Court of Industrial Relations by plac-
ing contraband placard, expressing
sympathy for the striking shopmen, in
the window of the Gazette" office. Mr..
White posted the placard after he had
been Informed that the Attorney Gen
erai had ruled it against the Industrial
and Anti-Syndicalism law. In to~day's
issue Mr.. White, explaining his stand,
said:
"The order of the Industrial Court is
an Infamous infraction of the right of
free press and free speech. Certainly,
it has not come to pass in this coun-
try, that a man may not say what he
thinks about industrial controversy
without disobeying the law. If the
government desires to make a test
caf" here it is. 1t is not question of
NAc ,her men are right or wrong, but
question of the right of an American
citizen, white and twenty-one, to say
what he pleases about the strike"
