Have Found Something New

cry today that 100000 in bogus drafts
alleged to have been executed by N.
c. Dougherty and paid through the
defunct Peoria National bank by

hind the safe robbery. These drafts
constituted liability against the

Syndicate Of Spectators Back
Bruce Claim to Duke Of
Portland's Estate.

Associated Press Cable to The Evenins
London, March BACKED by syn
dicate of spectators who have fur
nished the money to press the suit, the
Druce claim to the title and estate of
the duke of Portland is expected to.
come up for trial within a few weeks,
and will be one of the most startling
and sensational in the history of the
courts Of England. The chances of
Druce's success are being eagerly dis
cussed by both high and low and thou
sands of wagers have been laid on the
result, books being kept at many cigar
and news venders' stalls. At the pres
ent time the odds offered are two to
one in favor of the present duke re-
tanning his title.
Attorneys for Druce have brought
the legal proceedings in the form of a
suit to eject Lord Howard de Walden
from the real estate inherited by his
father from the fifth duke of Portland.
If they succeed in proving that Druce
of the Baker street shop was the same
man as the fifth duke, the right of
Druce to the de Walden estate and to
the Portland title and estate will nee
essarily follow.
To prove this contention Druce has
two witnesses who will testify from
personal knowledge that the Baker
street shopkeeper was in reality the
fifth duke of Portland. One of these
is the old woman who was employed
as a servant by the Mr.. Druce of Baker
street and who was witness to his
marriage. She is firm in her identifi-
cation of Druce as the duke OF Port
land and her testimony will be invalu-
able to the prosecution. The other
witness is the countess of Cork, who

court Judge has inflicted fines of 1920
upon each of twenty-seven Ursuline
nuns, and fine of IS upon the mother
superior, for persistently refusing to
quit their convent in compliance with
the law dispensing religious COM
munities.
The defendants pleaded that the
grounds and buildings belong to the
order, which had been authorized to
carry on educational work. The
prosecution, while not contesting This
argument, insisted upon obedience to
the act of congregations, and at the
same time gave warning that further
refusal by the nuns to leave the build
ings would be followed by election.
During the trial the court room had
to be cleared because of the demon
strations of a crowd of Catholic SYM
pathizers who, at the conclusion of
the hearing, accompanied the nuns
back to their convent with cheers.

Rome, March 7.-Signor Gallo, min
lister of justice, died this morning of
syncope. He was born in 1S49 and
formerly was minister Of public in
struction, president of chamber of
deputies and minister of education.
Signor Massimini, minister Of finance,
who was stricken with apoplexy yes

a dying condition.
The impression caused by the death
Of Signor Gallo and the condition of
Signor Massimini, is intensified by the
fact the former is the sixth minister
Of the different Giollitti cabinets who
has passed away while in Office. Op-
position newspapers are even limiting
at the possibility of ministerial
crisis, but in we'll informed circles
this is not considered to be likely.
