Count Bonl de Castellane Loses His
Suit for Children, but Judge De
rides Visits Shall Be Divided
Equally Between Two.
PARIS. Dec. SO. The oetitlon of daunt
Boni de Castellane that the custody or
hl three sons be given to his mother, the
.Marquise de Castellane. was denied to
day. The court ruled that the children
remain in the custody of their mother.
rrincess De Bag an. formerly Miss Anna
Gould, of New York. The court ruled
further that the children should not leave
the Continent without Its permission. Be
ginning October IB, 1909, they are to be
placed In a college situated within 100
miles of Paris.
The rights of the Count to see his chil
dren are not greatly changed by the de
cision of today. He will see them twice
a week regularly. Before they are placed
in school he will have them with him
for a week. They will be with him also
New Tear's Day and Easter of next
year, as well as for six weeks running
some time -between now and October.
Time Fairly Divided.
After October 19, when the two oldest
boys will toe sent to school, probably in
Normandy, the Count and the Princess
De Sagan will see the children equally
during vacation, and each will have equal
rights In the matter of school visits. The
youngest boy will remain w4th his mother
until he Is 10 years old. when he will
join his brothers. The children cannot
leave France without the consent of their
father.
The court nonsuited the Marquise De
Castellane, who was an Intervening pe
titioner. Nothing Against Prince.
The court did not uphold the contention
of De Ca-tellane that the Prince De
Sagan exercised a pernicious influence
over his children. While the Prince and
the Count's former wife were imprudent
before their marriage, the court said
nothing bad occurred since to Indicate
that the interests of the children were
endangered.
In conclusion the magistrate pointed out
that the decision handed down today
could be changed whenever conditions
In the De Sagan household were foiand
to threaten the welfare of the children.

Trade Suffers From Quake.
NEW YORK. Doc. 80. Impressed not
only from humanitarian reasons by the
earthquake In Italy, merchants and im
porters In this city who had relaUons in
the stricken districts are greatly worried
at their Inability to get Into communica
tion with correspondents there. It is es
timated that of the 50,000,000 worth of
merchandise Imported to this country
from Italy, at least $10,000,000 worth came
from the district now practically in
ruins. Messina Is a great depot for olive
oils and wines, and a great variety of
foodstuffs comes from Calabria. The ef
fect on trade will evidently be far-reaching.
