By HAYDEN TALBOT, I nlvenal Service staff Correspondent. London, Sept. 21.—"Nobody ex ropt an Englishman knows how much his first born means t6 an Englishman, but there are things which mean even more,” declared ('apt. Ernest Ingram, husband of Enrico Carusos widow, today at .Junior Naval and Military club. ' The birth of the first child ever to bear my name has been awaited by mo for several months, the orig inal date having been fixed as Sep tember (i, and all that time I have been fighting myself, torn between sanity and a desire to take pass age to New York to be present when the child was born. "My wife however, made her de sire never to see me again plain enough to compel me to forego the selfish impulse and to remain on this side. Cause of Discord. "The cause of our failure to re main together was really very simple. On mv s'de there is nothing to say beyond the bare fact that 1 am an Englishman accustomed to English ideas regarding matri mony. Englishmen are accustomed to living with wives who are proud and glad to accept the position of wifehood. "But when mv wife insisted after our arrival In New York on sign ing cheques "Dorothy Caruso." and generally clinging to her former name In hotels and elsewhere. T called a halt. I told her that I real ized »lie could not bear surrender ing the name Caruso and I am sure that this Is at the bottom of our discord. "When she found that I objected to being shown off among her friends like a prize Pekingese or a grand opera star, she became dis pleased and our troubles began. "I will admit that I made an unforgivable faux pas when I be came the boon companion of John McCormack and went wdth him to unfashionable Irish restaurants, but as a matter of fact, he and his friends appealed to me vastly more than the snobbish society folk my wife associated with. Money Not Involved. "There has never been any ques tion of finance between us. I was perfectly frank with her when I first met her in Italy. I told her my income was about 12,000 a year, hut she, as well as I, believed then that away in America we could carry out our natural mutual ap peal without thought of money. "Tt. Is all so very unfair to the baby that I still have hopes of a reconciliation because nothing the mother can do can possibly make my child bear the name Caruso, and I want very much to he a father and to undertake a father's responsibilities. "Rut "Madame Caruso" Is ton dear a title, I fear, to allow- any consideration to force her to give It up." !
