CHALONER CASE HITS SNAG THAT MAY UPSET I Judge Holt in Federal Court Rules Out Amelie Rives’s Affidavit as to Sanity. NOT THE ISSUE, HE SAYS. Only Point Is Whether Form of Law Was Observed in His Commitment. R Became apparent in today's pro- castings in Ghe case of John Armstrong Chatoner of Virginia against Thomas T. @hermen, the committee of his person wathorized when he was committed as ingame im 1897, that there may be « sud- Gem termination of the trial in the United States District Court before Jedge Holt. On objections by John G. Milburn, as- soctated with Joseph H. Choate jr. as counsel for Mr. Sherman, Attorney Hugh Gordon Miller was prevented from He putting in evidence depositions made by the Princess Amelie Rives Troubetskoy, Ohasoner’s former wife, and twenty or more of his friends and neighbors tend- img to show that Chaloner was sane ‘when he was “lured” to New York and thrown into Bloomingdale. Judge Holt ruled that the only tesue before the jury was whether Chaloner fred been deprived of his liberty with- wt @ue process of law—New York law. JUDGE HOLT BLOCKS THE WAY OF CHALONER’S LAWYER. “It makes no difference her said Judge Holt in substance, “whether Chaloner wes sane or not at the time the committee of hie person was ap- pointed. We ate only concerned to know whether due forms of law were complied with.” In an effort to get in the depositions, Mr. Miller read the entire record of the proceedings before the Sheriffs faery in 1899, which included a record of his commitment tn 1897. Mr, Miller said he would show the record to be full of error, exaggeration and perjury, and would introduce the depositions to prove it.” “He will not,” murmured Mr. Mel- burn grimly. But the dreary reading of the record went on. ‘With Mr. Miller were F. A. Ware and ‘W. M. Reed of this city and W. G. Dunn of Virginia. City Judge D. B. Dabney, who wes formerly Chaloner’s counsel in Virginia, is here to act as afviser to the lawyers.

He wants a place in which to dir. I don't think he had any bed intent when he forged the check.” By Judge, Crain's dtrection a plea of net @ullty wae entered on the indict- meat. Bartlett was arrested Jan. 28 after he went ¢o Police Headquarters and con- fessed he had forged a cheok for $2,125 on the Molion Bank of Pittsburgh, which he tried to pass on W. and J. Sloane at Broadway and Highteenth street, Years ago Bartlett was a wonder with the pea. In January, 1886, he got $3,000 oR & forged check from Edward Lauter- bach who, because of his admiration for the manner in which the crook go’ the meney, refused to prosecute. sea GOES SUDDENLY MAD AND FIGHTS WITH SIX ON PIER. Dock Employee Nearly Overcomes Opponents and Drags Them Into Water Before Being Subdued, ‘The end of the pier at East Twenty- fourth Street, which is occupied by the dock department, was the scene of a hard battle at noon to-day, when a department employee, who hed suddenly wone insane, fought to drag those who trie@ to handle him into the river. The crazed man was Peter Corcoran, fifty years old, whose home is at No. % West One Hundred and Fourth street. When he went to the offices at the ond of the pier, this morning, 1t wae seen he was acting queerly and the superintend- ent refused to deliver hia tools to him, Enraged at this, Corcoran seized @ block of wood, drove from the office ali these whe were in i and then barri- caded Mimeelf.

Knickerbocker's unsympathetic attitu Tired from a long day dedicated to fruitless interviews and inspections and teady to pour her woes into Mr. Knick- erbocker's ear, she is met by the bland assumption that ehe has failed only through her own Inefficiency, the lack of “system” common to her sex. “Why, the town’s full of places —must be full of ‘em—you don't know how to look. 21 bet you f could go out and find just what we want inside of couple of hours—ONLY I HAVEN'T TIME.” When the flat is found and the quest of the Golden Girl begins Mr. Knicker- bocker repeats tis disconcerting for- mule. HE THINKS HE KNOWS JUST HOW IT OUGHT TO BE DONE. “Servant problem? Why, there tsn't any, {f you know how to handle !t. The trouble h you women fs that you're not on to your jobs. Why, if I ran my office the way you do your household I'd be @ bankrupt inside of a year, What you lack 1@ system.

I'll bet you I could find a good, competent sem vant in one morning.” “Why Cont you try? asks Knickerbocker with desperate «!¢tness, “I have my WORK to do,” replies Mr, Knickerbocker with exasperating 2u- periority. Perhaps the most frequent cause of @issension between any Mr. and Mrs. Knickerbocker 1s the fact that neither understands the diffoulties of the other's To Mra, Knickerbocker a man'e work fe represented by his Saturday envelope. To her inexperience nothing can be al- together disagreeable which has such @ “ont result. ‘Nhe monotony, the ous wear and tear, the eternal hu- miiiation of having to take orders from a doorish, infertor creature who should be working for him—Mr, Kniokerbo: ker thinks 60, anyhow—ere things quite beyond Mra.

After all, men and women don't need to learn their own duties so much—life @nd exporience will teach them suoh ‘things. What they need most of all is @ knowledge of and respect for the du- tles and diMoulties of the “other fellow.” Why give dolls to little girls? To cul: tivate the maternal instinct, answers the sentimentalist. But the maternal in- | stinct doesn’t need cultivating. What it needs is pruning in the direction of intelligence and effectiveness. On the ether hand, from the mate cat that de- vours its young to the Hazel Kirke type of father that turns a duughter out of -his home, isn't the paternal instinct in dire need of cultivation? ‘This is a very long way of getting to the quest of the Golden Girl, but per- haps any wife who has gone home after @ day devoted to unsuccessful cook- hunting will be giad I stopped long enough to discuss the inexperienced op- timtam of husbands and « remedy for it.

There are some ques- tions, however, to which, whatever her \expertence, she cannot always make sat- \tefactory answer. For instance, these two: “Do you keep another girl?” “Do you live in @ house or an apart- ment?" {ONE WANTS ONE THING AND ANOTHER THE OPPOSITE. For the fancy of the Golden Girl is erratic on these two points, One may | say: “I won't go unteas two «iris are kept.
