months of the year or even one. he might
take it over to Austria and get an order
from the courts there directing him not
to return the boy to the United States.
SO its mother, unless she shows a COM
plete change of heart will naturally COM
bat that suggestion with every weapon at
her command. Yet it is natural and Gus
tomary for courts to permit father I'M
less he is proved utterly unworthy to visit
his child at least some of the time. This
would be awkward because it would mean
that not only certain days but probably
a certain place would be stipulated within
the jurisdiction of that State court.
The contest is almost certain to become
bitterly personal because it is bound to be
settled in the end on the basis of char
acter and as already pointed out, this is
a peculiar proceeding in which the court
is able to allow most anything to be
dragged in, even things done in childhood
of either parent to cast light on their
moral background.
Another matter which is quite certain
to be looked into is the mystery of just
why the Countess did leave her husband
snoring in his Paris hotel. and fly to
America. A woman who would leave her
husband for no reason might seem to the
court Eighty sort of person to be guar
dian of a child. On the other hand if, as
the Count claims, there were only two rea-
sons (Mr. and Mrs. Rogers and Millicent
admits it, she may be paving the way for
suit against her parents for alienation
of affections.
There being so many millions at stake,
it is interesting to note what is considered
the ethics of settling such a case for cash
consideration, just as a wife may settle
her alimony claims ont of court for any,
thing she can get. 1t is generally con-
sidered natural and therefore not dishon-
orable for a mother to buy off hus-
bands nuisance" rights in a child on the
theory that it is for the child's good.
However, any such bargain made be
tween parents, even though millions We're
passed as consideration, would not be
worth the paper it was written on because
the courts do not consider that the parents
have any powers or rights in the child
which they can transfer.
Salm says he wants separation, not
divorce. His wife wants a divorce, not
separation. Salm says he loves that forty
million-dollar baby and must have it.
The Rogers family will fight to the last
legal ditch to keep the little son and heir.
How many of the Rogers millions
would they pay over to Salm if he will
leave America forever and let the Count
ess get an uncontested divorce with I'M
disputed custody of the baby?

so it would be difficult to play that card
lust now. After court has awarded Gus
tody, it will no longer be safe card for
either parent to play, because it would
then be kidnapping, which is a felony and
extraditable.
Possession, as usual, is an important
card in the law, and Nature played that
one for the mother, who has Also taken
that trick in the legal game with her guards
and dogs If the Count wants to score
at all he must now lay down the biggest
card he has--the writ of habeas corpus.
1t is the biggest legal card in the world
and will certainly take the next trick. II
is the lawyers ace of trumps.
To play it the Count must join the gold
rush to Florida and sue out writ of
habeas corpus in the Florida Supreme
Court against his wife, alleging that she
is wrongfully OBTAINING from him the
corpus (person) of his son. The court
will then issue the writ, ordering the
mother to produce in court the said little
corpus and justify her OBTAINING it.
This writ is not only easy to obtain, but
it will crash the gates of Waikiki or any
others. 1t will pull person out of prison,
insane asylum or anywhere but sick bed.
poena, served by an ordinary process
server, the Countess might hide behind her
guards and locks and avoid service all
Winter. But there is no such nonsense
about habeas corpus.
So, though the Countess as wife may
hide herself and ignore any legal moves

mother-possibly even more capable than
would not necessarily move court to
separate mother and child.
Under the old common law, when par
ents parted and all things seemed equal
as far as character and financial ability
were concerned, the law awarded a child
to the father on the ancient theory that
he was the stronger vessel and better able
to guard and guide. This reasoning is
not so amusing as it sounds to our modern
ears, for in those days divorced woman
was doubtful craft sailing in treacherous
waters.
Nowadays, this is no longer the GUS
tom. The child goes to the mother unless
things are very unequal. Custom and
precedent make it quite certain that the
court will not take this boy away from
the mother unless the father is able to
make out strong case that it would be
to the childs disadvantage to remain I'M
der her influence.
1t will be up to the husband to play
some strong cards, pretty soon-what can
they possibly be? The courts take into
consideration where one parent has great
er resources to spend on the child's edu-
cation. But in this case that card is held
by the mother whose share of the Rogers
millions is reputed to be about 0,0O0,-
900.
Social advantages are also given some
weight and here the Count may Ray down
a card with considerable flourish. He can
point out that his son is heir to the title
of Count, and therefore should be nur-
tured in the atmosphere of nobility, in
Austria. This no doubt would be high
card if played in an Austrian court and
not only win trick, but count something
for honors in the final score; but in an
American court it may not be so impress
sive. This is an American-born boy and,
if its mother says she thinks titles are a
snare and delusion, the American judge
may agree with her.
Of course some one may be rude
enough to ask why she still uses the title
of Countess if she doesn't like the Count
that goes with it. This question and al
most anything else may be asked because,
in such proceeding, ordinary rules of
evidence are largely suspended. Rules of
evidence are for the protection of the in
terests of witnesses or parties to an action.
In this action the court does not recognize
the parents as parties, but onlythe child. 1t
may search their past lives from cellar
to garnet If either does not like the or
deal he can withdraw, and probably lose
the custody of the child.
Quite often a child's til e is divided
between the parents. Suppose the Count
is given custody of the child for three

and have violated

mother could then
follow and share in
the care of the child
by becoming his
wife in fact again
or by taking a
chance with the
Austrian courts.
Count Salm, how
ever, is confronted
not by a theory, but
several stubborn
facts in the form of
guards and dogs, as
already mentioned,
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-27

her husband may make, as a mother she
will have to appear in court, and the
Count will doubtless gaze upon both her
and his offspring, for such is the might
and majesty of habeas corpus Then the
real battle will begin. The Countess must,
of course, admit that the Count is her hus-
band and the father of her baby. This
makes it necessary to explain why she is
keeping the child from its father.
The answer to that is easily guessed.
They have separated and she does not
wish to live with him again. When the
court hears this, followed by a prayer
from each parent to be appointed guard
ian, the whole legal attitude of the pro-
ceedings changes. The child becomes at
that instant ward of the State and its
parents shrink into beings of small sig
nificance. They drop to the level of APP
plicants for job. 1t is not question
of which has the better rights to this
precious bit of human property, but which
will be better able to fulfill the contract
of bringing it up. The State virtually lets
it out to the highest bidder.
OF course, an infant must have some
one t. mother it, and unless Salm can
show someone reasonably well qualified
for that task, the court is not likely to
give his bid any further attention. But
Count Salm at this point has provided
himself with card brought half way
round the world-his mother-as already
explained. 1t can hardly be denied that
this titled lady should make capable

FIGHTER WITH

NEW YORK, Mar 5.-After fail
ing to agree on the proper course to
follow in deciding the next opponent
for Jack Dempsey III Il world s

rangcmcnts were made to sign the

Gibbons said he was ready to ac-
ccpt terms and Wills replied that
he would have to take on Gibbons
if lie could not get Dempsey. When
the plans were all about set, James
A. Farley, one of the commission
ers, boltcd and said he was in fay
or of Wills or no one and the com
mission has been trying to compro-
mise ever since.
Kane received a telegram last
night from y. T.. Santweir, Los An
ge.as promoter, who has been trying
to arrange Il Dempsey Gibbons bout.
Kane told him recently that he
would sign as soon as he got Demp-

him that Dempsey said he will not
