CHAL LONER LOSES HIS CASE
Counsel Will Now Appeal to
Higher Federal Court

The suit Of John Armstrong Cbaloner
brought in the United States District Court
here to recover control OF his 81, 500 900 es-
tate from Thomas T. Sherman. committee
of his person and property. came TO q
sudden end yesterday when Judge Holt di-
rected a verdict I'm favor Of the defendant.
Judge Holt held that the only issue be-
fore him was as TO whether Preston Hall
Butler, the first committee of Chaloner's 9
person and property, whom Mr.. Sherman
succeeded. had been appointed regularly.
The complainant had failed to show that
the appointment was illegal. the judge said.
The question whether Chaloner was sane
at the time of his commitment to Bloom
ingdale Asylum, as well as the question
whether, in case he had been insane then,
he has recovered now. were TO be decided
by the Supreme Court Of New York, which
alone had jurisdiction I'm the matter.
Hugh Gordon Miller, Of counsel for
Chaloner. said that he would appeal from
Judge IIolt's ruling and eventually carry
the. matter to the Supreme Court of the
United States on the ground that Chaloner
was deprived of his liberty without the
process of law.
Joseph II. Choatc. jr" representing Mr.
Sherman, said in open court that it would
relieve all concerned If Chaloner would
surrender to the authorities of New York
State prove himself sane and 20 free.
In indirect response to that Mr.. Miller
called Chaloner's physician, DR.. Thurman,
Of Virginia, who said that his patient was
suffering from spinal trouble. and ms 1t was
neuralgia all excitement would tend to
make it worse. wherefor he had advised
Chaloner to stay at home and rest.

IMPORTERS NOVEL PROTEST
Say Favored Nations" Clause
Affects Wood Pulp.

A novel ground for protest against duty.
involving the favored nations" clause Of
the tariff. has been taken by importers OF
wood pulp and print paper in their protest
submitted yesterday to the United States
Board of General Appraisers.
The action Of the importers was based
upon the law passed June /, 1911. which
admitted wood pulp and print paper from
Canada free Of duty. providing the gov
ernment OF the Dominion would place no
export duty on these articles. In view Of
treaties with various European countries
which placed them in the class OF favored
nations" tho importers asserted. this law
also become operative I'm respect TO those
nations. with the effect that practically all
wood pulp and print paper should come in
free OF duty.
w. X Payne. Deputy Attorney General.
in charge Of the case for the government,
and A. H. WaShburn, OF counsel for the
importers. agreed that the case should go
over until Tuesday afternoon. But what
ever the decision OF the Board Of Apprais-
ers might be. Mr.. Payne said, the matter
would go into the courts and ultimately
reach the Supreme Court
The importance Of the question, he said,
has been shown by the long series Of pro-
tests, not only by importers but by repre-
sentatives Of the nations which export
wood pulp and paper to this country.
Various foreign ambassadors have been
active in the matter, he said, and have pre-
sented their claims TO the Department Of
state. President Taft directed that 1t was
a matter 10 be decided by the courts and
the duty should be collected in the mean
time

Object to Hoboken-Jer City
Order of Utility Board.

Trenton, n. j.. Feb. 2.-Consolidated ap-
peals of the Pennsylvania, Lackawanna,
Lehigh Valley, Erie and Susquehanna rail-
roads set up reasons to-day before the Su-
preme Court here for setting aside the
order of the Board OF Public Utility Com
missioners requiring the railroads in ques-
ton TO sell Communication tickets between
the terminals of Hoboken and Jersey City
and other points within the state.
1t was contended that the board was not
authorized to make the order. The next
point advanced was that an order which
requires a carrier to establish special
rate and any statute which authorizes the
making OF such an order are unconsttu-
tional. The third point was that It is In
valid as an interference with interstate
commerce.
Counsel for the railroads contended that
