N'ew York. July U Good newt
iff Mr. anl Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney and their cldrst nn came
from Los Angeles, in a telrgram ami
by Evan Hurrows Fontaine, the
beautiful oriental dancer, who claim
that her child in the child of "Sonny"
Whitney.
"I have tome splendid offer from
the films," her menage rutu, "and I
may I rich some day. After all, I
had rather brinu tip the baby on
money I earn myself than on money
that is piven to me."
If ("van's opportunity to become
one of the high-alaried film stars
materializes it is probable, according
to her friends, that she will call a
halt to Mans to go to court with two
suits for substantial money awards
against young Wljitney.
The one element still militating
against a quiet squelching of Kvan
and her claims under a weight of op
position millions is Attorney Charles
rirestone, who returned to New
York from Hillsburg and proceeded
immediately to repair the damae
wrought to Evan's legal advantage
by the reported withdrawal from the
case on the previous day of ex-Sen
ator F.dgar Truman Braclcett of
Saratoga.
Guarding liove Letters.
Firestone interviewed Bracked,
satisfied himself that the report had
foundation in fact, and took meas
ures to reassemble in his office the
various love letters, autographed
photographs, messages and diaries
which attempts to settle the case out
of court have placed in the "safe
keeping" of various attorneys.
Leslie Whipp, the Chicago lawyer
who retired from the case, but kept
control of the letters written by
"Sonny" to Evan, was cautioned to
redouble the care with which he has
had to defeat efforts to steal the
documents from his offices.
Brackett has been warned of the
possibility of similar attempts to ab
stract Evan's diary of the blissful
days of her romance from his ma
nificent home in North Broadway,
Saratoga.
Child Closely Guarded.
And Evan's mother, Mrs. Florence
Fontaine, has shut herself into the
Fontaine cottage, where she and a
male servant, chosen from a list sug
gested by a detective agency, alter
nate in guarding Baby Cornelius
Vanderbilt Whitnev.
What Attorney Firestone believes
was a cleverly contrived' plot to ab
duct the baby was thwarted several
months ago, it became known. A
woman who posed as a newspaper re
porter on the staff of a New York
daily had contrived to gain the con
fidence of Mrs. Fontaine, and asked

Notable Transactions
on Livestock Exchange
Edward Myers, cattleman of Alli
ance, was a visitor on the local mar
ket looking over conditions. In ref
erence to the run of grass steers he
said that in his opinion it was a mis
take to ship range cattle too early.
Mr. Myers said range cattle were
getting fat early this year and will
continue to do so for some time. He
said his own cattle were fatter at this
time of the year than ever before and
with plenty of good pasture he in
tended to hold his cattle until there
was a letup on the number of corn
fed stock sent in.
William Thomsen came in from
Wakefield with 37 head of choice
steers averaging 1,239 pounds, for
which he received the top price of
the day, $10.40 a hundred.
Carl Thomsen, a brother of Wil
liam, received the high price of the
day on 20 head of yearlings that av
eraged 902 pounds and brought
$10.35 a hundred. The cattle were
bought here eight months ago when
they averaged 441 pounds and cost
$6.85 a hundred.
Twelve carloads of grass cattle
were brought to the local market by
John Bachelor of Valentine. Mr.
Bachelor said he had a large number
of cattle on feed and would not ship
in any more until the strikes of the
railroads and coal miners were set
tled. He said that there was plenty of
feed in the sandhills section and that
the cattle were in the best of condi
tion and that farmers were in a po
sition to hold their cattle for an in
deSnite period

Denies Fraud in

Underwood Declare! No Col-

Patent Says German
Supporting Attacks.
Washington, July .'4. The Chem
iral foundation and its president,
Francis '. Garvan, former alien
property custodian, who are being
proceeded against tiy the government
for the return- of German chemical
patents were defended in the senate
today by Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, democratic leader, who criti
cised l'rei(leiit Harding and the ad
ministration lor the action taken
against them,
Hrnying that there was fraud, col
lision of conspiracy in the acquisition
of the German patents by the Chem
ical found. it iotv Senator Underwood
also commended the record of A.
Mitchell I'almer, former attorney
general and former alien property
custodian, in dealing with enemy
alien property. German interests,
Senator Underwood said, were sup
porting the administration's course
against the Chemical foundation, in
the hope, he said, of securing restitu
tion of property and also damage
claims for its use.
Opposes Administration Plan.
Senator Underwood's statements
were made during an address in sup
port of his recent bill to create an
American commission to press Ameri
can damage clauns against Germany
and Austria, using enemy alien prop
erty seized as a pledge for payment.
Mr. Underwood opposed the admin
istration olan for a joint claims com
mission or another treaty to deal with
the claims, declaring there was no
necessity for further negotiations
with Germany on the subject. He
reviewed at length the alien property
legislation and cited figures showing
that property worth $600,000,000 was
taken over and control secured of 200
alien corporations.
Quoting from Mr. Palmer's report
on enemy alien property, Senator
Underwood said that the $250,000
paid by the Chemical Foundation in
securing rights to the 5,000 German
chemical patents was "adequate"
when the government's right to use
the patents was considered.
"Disposes of Charge."
"This report," said Mr. Under
wood, "effectually disposes of the
charge that there was a fraudulent
conspiracy on the part of those in
the alien property custodian's office
who erected the Chemical founda
tion and sold these patents to it.
The charge has been repeatedly
made that Mr. Garvan as alien prop
erty custodian sold these patents to
himself as president of the Chemical
fouadation. The entire plan was
devised and perfected, before Mr.
Garvan became alien property cus
todian or had any thought of being
appointed to that office the entire
plan was devised and perfected while
Mr. Palmer was alien property cus
todian." Stating that formal official state
ments of the Chemical foundation
plan were made in advance, Senator
Underwood continued:
"Not in Open Light of Day."
"Conspiracies to defraud the gov
ernment are not committed in the
open light of day. Conspiracies to
defraud the government are never
reported to congress by the con
spirators in advance.
"Now. President Harding has di
rected the present alien property cus
todian to demand a return of these
patents from the Chemical founda
tion to the government. The presi
dent has committed himself to the
doctrine that this sale was a viola
tion of a trust. This is a mistaken
theory of law for the title to the
property was vested absolutely in
the government and the alien prop
erty custodian was not the trustee
for the German owners."
German interests, Senator Under
wood said, were seeking to have the
latter construction sustained. If this
was done, he said, it would "inevita
