Chaulnes. in Paris than that cabled

ports that the Dukes death was due to the
use Of drugs was slanderous, His life had
been exemplary since his marriage to Mr..
Shontss daughter Theodore, and they were
in thorough accord when death came to the
Duke. He had had trouble with his heart.
supposed not to be Of serious nature. but
never had needed q physician since his mar
riage. On the evening before his death he
had been in excellent spirits.
1t was the custom Of tho Duke and the
Duchess, Mr.. Shonts said. to 60 to bed at

1t was while the Duke was kneeling that he
was stricken. He fell over on his aide and
the Duchess supposed that he had merely
tainted: She 10 strong and athletic and
picked him up bodily and placed him on the
bed. He breathed heavily once and was
still. She became frightened then and
screamed for help. The first doctor, called
said that the Duke had died instantly.
Mr.. Shonts said that when hesarrived in
Paris he found the Duchess unable to cry.
They feared that she would lose her reason
until q week ago last Sunday when she fell
on her knees before her father, and putting
her head in his lap gave way to her feelings.
Then the family knew that she would be all
right. Mr.. Shonts said: Il did not dare
think OF leaving her until then. My wife
and one Of my daughters will stay with the
Duchess until she is ready to return to
America, which may not be for year or
year and q half from now. The Dukes
family have done all that mortals could do
for my daughter. The more heard about
the Duke the better liked him. He was
q fine boy and cannot see why 30 many in
famous things were published about him.
The idea VI his death having been induced
by the use Of drugs 10 cruel and absurd The
autopsy showed a rupture Of the walls Of
the heart"

DEMAND FOR DROEGEs REMOVAL

Appellate Division Hears tho Motion Of
the Bar Association.
The Appellate Division heard argument
yesterday and reserved decision on motion
by the Bar Association for the removal
Of City Magistrate Otto H. Droego because
Of his action In the case Of Louise Durand
last January and also because Of the attempt
to bribe q reporter to suppress q story
concerning the Ma8istrates method Of
dealing with certain cases.
Howard Taylor. representing the Bar
Association. argued for the motion. while
John B. Stanohfeld and Howard Cans
appeared for Drosge. Mr.. Taylor said
that while there was no criminal charge
there were charges that the Magistrate
was unfit to occupy the bench BY reason Of
moral turpitude or general inoapacity.
There was no substantial dispute over
the faots, and the Magistrate's answer
was either untruthful or truthful, II the
Court did not believe the answer. there
was the tlrpitude. while II the answer was
truthful then the Magistrate must be
fool to have allowed such motives to aotu-
In the caso Of Louise Durand Magistrate
Droegs had first found the woman guilty
Of soliciting and then sfter telephonic
communication from Q lawyer who had
formerly been associated with .Droege In
the practice OF law had ordered her dis
charge. This lawyer, Mr.. Taylor said.
had meanwhile been approached by the
Durand woman's lawyer and fee Of S7b
was paid for the release Of the woman.
Mr.. Stanchfleld asserted that there was
nothing more in the charges Of buying OF
D. reporter than evidence that q man Of
sensitive character had taken extreme
and possibly unwise steps to safeguard his
reputation. Mr.. Stanchfield did not dwell
long on the Durand case. as Justices Scott,
Clarke and Ingraham asked him several
questions tending to show that they be-
heved the Magistrate had not obeyed the
statutes In his treatment OF the case. Mr..
Stsnchfeld admitted that but pleaded
that DToose had only done what all the
other Magistrates were doing at the time.

WILL OF 2s YEARS AGO WINS.
Surrogate VIII Not Admit the Later Testa-
ment or Charles G. Spencer.

mont OF Charles G. Spencer.
Surrogate Thomas decided yesterday
:hs. VII! made in 1899 by Charles G.
Spencer. who died in Paris some time
ago. should be admitted to probate and
that another will made in 1903 should be
rejected as invalid. The latter will was
bolographio in form but was not wit
messed properly.
Mr. spencer was a son OF Lorillard
Spencer. Sr.. and left an estate valued at
more than s2.oOOOOO. In the Photographic
will Mr.. Spencer described himself as a
resident OF France. and it was sought to
invoke tho French laws as regulating the
disposition Of his property. but Surrogate
Thomas In q lengthy opinion finds that
Spencer had never lost his domicile here
and was still legally q resident of New York.
The will Of 1882. now admitted to pro-
bate. divided Mr.. Spencer's property In
equal shares among his father. mother.
two brothers. Augustine and Lorillard
Spencer. Jr.. and his sister. Leonori. now
the Princes Vioovaro. The will Of 1893 left
everything TO the Princess.
In his opinion Surrogate Thomas reviews
at great length the career OF the testator
from his birth, In 1860. at SO Fifth avenue
to his death in Paris. Spencer travelled
much and the Surrogate says that there Is
evi dence that his temperament became SO
morbid In later years that 1t is a question
whether he was Of sound mind In 1898.
Spencer studied art in Paris and New
York. but on many occasions took pains
to describe himself as a citizen OF the
United States and resident Of New York.
As late as 1908 he paid taxes In Connecticut,
insisting on being taxed there sfter his
name. much against his will, had been
stricken from the tax lists here through the
action Of other persons
The Surrogate refers at length to an
occasion In 1893 when Spencer was arrested
and fined In France for insulting gen.
darme, and points out that ever afterward
Spencer spoke harshly Of the French people
and Government.
Surrogate Thomas concludes that as
Spencer was not Frenchman nor legally
domioiled In France. the laws Of France.
which permit probate to Photographic
will made in France by Frenchman, win
not apply ton will like that of Spencer's.
made In 1893 at Newport, r. l.. even though
