CERTIFICATE SECURES ESTATE.
Jeanrenaud Qualities for Property lett
Him in Switzerland.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 17.-Paul l.
Jeanrenaud,cf Newport News is prob
ably the most ardent champion IN
Virginia of the new vital statistics
law, for the very good reason that
the enactment of this statute has
saved for him and his family an estate
in Switzerland which otherwise they
would have lost.
Indeed, Judging from his correspon-
dence with the State Board of Health,
Mr.. Jeanrenaud seems to think that
the General Assembly of Virginia
enacted this law to save him from loss
at the very time he most needed legal
assistance.
A naturalized American citizen and
a prosperous business man, Mr.. jean
remand received notice during the
spring that his grandfather had died
in Switzerland and had left him and
his brothers and sisters consider
able estate. All that he had to do was
to prove his relationship to the dead
man. For himself ana mis- brothers
who had been born in Switzerland,
this was easy as their births were
dulv recorded in the canton register
But Mr.. Jeanrenaud had a young SIS
ter born in America, whose birth, IN
the absence of any law, had not been
legally recorded. Unfortunately, too,
the girls mother was dead and the
physician, who had been present at
the child's birth, had also died.
This seemed to remove the last nope
of getting the estate, for innumerable
legal difficulties would arise where
the title of all the heirs could not be
established. Just at the time Mr.. Jean
renaud was giving up hopes, ne saw
that the new vital statistics law had
been passed and that it was possible
to record the birth of any one born
before the enactment of the law, pro-
vided legal proofs of birth could De
produced. Quick to see the posslbll-
ity thus afforded him. Mr.. jean
maud at once began search for the
nurse who had attended his mother at
the birth of his sister. The nurse, as
it happened, had moved from VlrgI-
mia and her whereabouts were not
known. Mn Jeanrenaud began a ma
tion-wide search, and finally, when he
was despairing of success, heard that
the nurse was practicing her profess
sion in Florida. He located her at
last and had her file with the State
Board of Health legal statement OF
the birth of his sister. This was
found to be in proper form and was
accepted by the State.
AS if by magic, Mr.. Jeanrenaud's dit
ficulties were obviated and his claims
were established. He had only to
procure legal copy of the certificate
of birth and forward it to the proper
Swiss authorities. He expects, in the
course of a few days, to receive the
full amount of the estate, land in the
meantime, blesses the General As
sembly of Virginia while wondering
WHY the enactment of such neces-
sary law was so long delayed.
