granted decree of divorce from Count
Vladimir Ledochowska, of Poland, and
the custody Of her three children, by
Judge Henry w. Forsythe, Of the Cir.
cult Court for Howard County, at Elli-
colt City.
The decree was signed by Judge For
sythe, who, In his opinion, said that
Count Ledochowska had failed to ap-
pear and answer charges filed by his
former wife and that the only interest
he took in the proceedings was to ques-
tion the right of the Howard County
Court to adjudge the evidence submit
ted
The decree was signed at noon after
the court had read evidence submitted
In French from persons who gave tes.
timony in support of the countess's
charges Of infdelity. The plaintiff was
represented by Edgar Allan Poe, of
Ba timore.
Miss Warfeld became acquainted
with Count Ledochowska in Honolulu.

bound in opposite directions, they tar
ried at the island and became engaged.
After the wedding ceremony the
couple left for Poland, but at the out
break OF the war were forced to Ace
to Odessa, where they remained during
the winter Of 1915. They returned to
the Howard County estate of the War
fields In 1918 and remained until 1919,
when, according to the petition, the
count abandoned his wife and children

Shivering 1000 'See' Crin,-
SON Warriors Draw Fangs
of Bulldog and Root
With Yale Bowl Multitude

Massed in compact square which
shivered and stamped In the icy wint
that blew up from the East River, more
than 1900 persons watched the Har'
vard-Yale game as 1t came In by radio
yesterday In front Of The Tribune
Building.
The automobile truck with the am
plifying system developed by the West
ern Electric Company caught the
sounds from the New Haven Bow
through station WEAF, on West
Street, and threw them, magnihed {
million times, out upon Park Row.
Not all Of the tremendous crowd ir
the street were football fans. Some
were there because they wanted te
know what all the shouting was for
Others were possessora of radio outfits
and some remained to make the goot
will and smiles Of the college graduates
their own. The whole staff Of Chinese
walters from the chop suey restaurant
on Park Row stayed to see where the
sounds came from.
As each play was announced by the
deliberate voice of the speaker, cries
simultaneous with the great cheers that
thundered through the horns, rang
from hundreds of enthusiastic, Il
slightly chilled, throats. Harvard
seemed to be the favorite of the crowd
The sharp breezes whistling around
the Yale Bowl were described so
faithfully by the speaker that more
than one ulster collar was turned up
over pair of already chilled ears.
"Some one with q sense of humor

the amplifier, and the crowd howled
apprecatively. When he told them
that open trolleya were waiting to
convey the thousands Of fans from the
Bowl, Park Row groaned in sympathy.
Nonchalant comments on the spec
tators in the Bowl, snort of laughter
on fumbled ball, and a muttered
"Gee!" were clearly audible. The
speaker announced he was lighting
cigarette, with the permission of the
crowd, to keep warm. Through his
words appeared q background for the
game, picturing not only the strug-
way, down the field, but eager thou
sands rising tier upon tier in the Yale
Bowl, too cold TO cheer EXCEPT when
their cheer leaders, leaping like fan
tastic white grasshoppers, urged them
On to fresh outbursts.
THE games over. They're going
home," was the signal for the Park Row
throngs to dispense. Under the guild
ance of dozen policemen on duty for
the game by radio more than a thou-
sand listeners rushed for the warm
retreats of the subway, the Harvard
RED IN their cheeks and the Yale blue
In their lips and no ses.
For an hour and half afterward
the crew of amplification experts~.R
M. Hatfield, Charles Boulter, Richard
E. Kuehler and Leroy Youmans-who
had brought the game to Park Row
detached wires and packed eouipmeni
