By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-The work of OPEN
ing the grave of Thomas Charles Druce
in Highgate cemetery to determine pri-
marily whether the coffin contains the
body Of man, or as has been asserted
a roll of sheet lead Weighing some 200
pounds, was begun today IncidentaiIy
the clearing up of this mystery will help
materially the progress of the famous
Druce case.
The three-ton monument, which marks
the resting place of the Druce family,
was removed by score of workmen,
who were protected from public obser-
vation by shed which had been erected
around the burial plotl Within the shed
electric lights were Installed, so that
operations might proceed without in
terrtptien
All of those in attendance at the open
ing of the grave and coffin have been
sworn to secrecy so that the result of
the Investigations will not be known un-
til the experts develop evidence at the
police court.
Herbert Druce, the defendant in the
now famous case, is charged with COM
mitting perjury by swearing that his
father, Thomas Charles Druce of the
Baker street bazaar died December 2S
1854, and that he saw the dead body
placed in coffin and buried in High
w.
Hollamby Druce, declares that this must
be untrue, because T. C. Druce was in
fact that fifth duke of Portland, who
lived until 1879 That being so, George
Hollamby Druce claims that he himself.
being the senior descendant in the male
line, is now the rightful heir of the
Portland dukedom, and to certain rich
estates, the income of which is placed at
$1,5O0,0OO a year, now held by Lord How
ard De Walden.
The opening of the grave, however,
will not be conclusive proof of the claim
of George Hollamby Druce. The fifth
duke of Portland and man known as
Thomas C. Druce have been declared to
be one and the same person by about a
dozen witnesses, but particularly by
Robert c. Caldwell of New York, who
testified at length and in detail during
the present trial.
Caldwell left London for New York
in the middle of December. Upon his ar
rival he was arrested at the request of
the British authorities on a charge Of
perjury, He is now i'll at his home on
| Staten island. Should he be brought to
trial, the evidence obtained from opening
the coffin would do much to convict or
| clear him.
Herbert Druce opposed the opening of
the grave on the ground that he did not
wish to desecrate his fathers remains
on the whim of person who chose to
make a claim to an estate he is not in
terested in and who had put forward
a claim he declares he knew to be un-
true He was obliged finally. however.
by the popular demand, to put aside
sentiment and consent to the exhumation
for the purpose, as his advisers say, OF
once and for all time putting an end to
the story for which Caldwell alone
seems responsible, that there was lead

FOUND CHARITY
Appropriation of Million Dollars fol
Benefit of Poor Causes Dispute
in Ranks of Christian
Scientists
.y Associated Press.


BOSTON, Mass, Dec 29.-Disputing
the power of Mrs. Mary Baker G.. Eddy
head of the Christian Science church, to
make disposition of so large a part OF
her fortune, formal notices have been
served upon Trustees Mcclellan, Fcrnald
and Baker, having in charge Mrs. Ed
dys estate, ordering them not to make
an appropriation of $1,000,OO0 to found q
charitable institution recently an
nounced, or any other appropriatien
from Mrs. Eddy's estate, pending the
outcome of litigation.
According to former United States
Senator William e. Chandler, this action
is to be followed by a new lawsuit in
volving the science head and her trus-
tees brought by the next friends" Mrs
Eddy's son, George w. Glover, his
daughter, Mary Baker Glover, and an
adopted son, Edward j. Foster of Wa
terbury, VT.
The contention of Mr.. Chandler is that
the proposed appropriation of $1.O0O,00O is
in direct violation of Mrs. Eddy's deed
of trust of March 6. 1907, by which she
turned over all her propreyt to the three
trustees for life, reserving only the
right to use the income and certain real
ty, and which act marked the partial
termination of litigation against her ano
the trustees by the next friends few
months since.
The new action, it is declared, will be
entirely independent of another suit now
pending against F. S. Streeter, Mrs Ed
dys attorney in Concord, demanding in
formation concernig the deed of trust
for $125, 900 set aside by Mrs. Eddy fol
the benefit of her son, George w. Glover

LORD CURZON AGREES
TO ACCEPT NOMINATION
Chancellor of Oxford University May
Fill Vacancy Among Repre-
sentative Peers of
Ireland
BIZ Associated Press.

BY Associated FreSS.
LONDON, Dec. 29-Lord Curzon of
Kedleston, chancellor of Oxford universi-
ty, has agreed to allow himself to be NOM
mated for the vacancy among the repre-
sentative peers of Ireland, caused by the
death of Lord Kilmaine.
In accepting the nomination, which was
offered to him by a number of members
of the Irish peerage, Lord Curzon said
that when the peerage was conferred
upon him it was with view to his re-
turning to the house of commons, but the
strain of work in India has proved too
much for his strength, and the opinion of
his medical advisers has driven him re-
luctantly to the conclusion that he cannot
re-enter that house.
Unfortunately, he said, he was debarred
from entering the house of lords by the
ordinary channels through the refusal of
the premier to allow him to take his
place with the other ex-viceroyS of India
on the benches of the upper house, so
that he would be pleased to take this op-
proximity to re-enter public life by the
only means open to him, namely, as a
representative Irish peer.
The writs of election have already been
issued and the votes must be returned by
January 20. All the Unionist papers well
come the return of Lord Curzon to active
political life, but 1t Is feared that his
health will prevent him from taking the
leadership of the party in place of Joseph
Chamberlain, or possibly the premiership,
for which he was slated by many mem
bers who were dissatisfied with Balfour' S
attitude with regard to tariff reform.
Lord Curzons reference to Sir Henry
pbell-Bannerman's refusal to allow
him to enter the house of lords through
the ordinary channels leads to the pre-
sumption that upon his retirement from
the office of viceroy of India he intimated
to the premier that as an ex-viceroy he
should be made an English peer.
