peace proposal between England and

and magnificent attempts ever made
by any statesman in the history of

The time is coming when every
thing which relates to the welfare of
mankind will be considered by trib-

MOST LAWYERS CROOKS
That Is Opinion of ChaIoner Who Is
One Himself.

Charlottesville Va, Oct. 11.=Law-
yers and New York's lunacy laws
were dealt with by John Armstrong
Chaloner in his deposition before
United States Commissioner Booth. in
the suit for possession of his estate.
Chaloner said he had registered an
oath in 1902 to devote every dollar of
ito overthrowing the tyrannical and
barbarous lunacy laws of New York.
Under these laws, he said, persons
are tried in their absence and the
way is opened for turning pure girls
into white slaves and imprisoning
wives whose husbands desire to be
rid of them.
Most lawyers are crooks" said
Chaloner. 4 have been fighting
them for IS years, hence my pro-
nounced feeling about my own pro-
fession.'
