pany, OF Detroit, who wrote a letter 10
Senator Townsend, OF Michigan, urging

who said that the company of which MIR
Leland was president was a holding COM
pany which had absorbed a large number
OF other companies.
This criminal trust, organized in de-
hance OF the Sherman antitrust law, and
out OF its proper position every day il is
out OF Jail" shouted Senator Reed, has
the temerity 20 come here and lecture
man that may interfere with its criminal
objects"

the Cadillac Company was a trust and
was violating the law the Attorney Cen

ONLY CANAL TOLLS
NOW UP in SENATE
O'Gorman Makes Any Other
Business Impossible Until
Vote Is Reached.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, June 5-The Senate to-
day. at the suggestion OF Senator OGor-
man, turned on the forced drafts and
cleared the executive decks for action
on Panama Canal tolls by slde-trscking
all other business.
After an entire day I'm which the bill
was in reality the business before the
Senate, though it was not discussed, Mr..
O'Gorman moved that the Senate take
recess until II o'clock tomorrow morn
ing so that the repeal bill might re-
main before the Senate without Interrupt
ton by any other business His motion
was agreed to. and the Senators left the
chamber with the understanding that the
repeal bill would be kept continuously
before them until a vote could be had
upon il.
The fact that the two Democratic SEN
ators from Missouri occupied practically
the entire session to day discussing mat
ters that had nothing TO do with the tolls
bill made it practically impossible that
a vote on tho bill could be reached to-
morrow. even II a night session were
held. A final vote is not expected until
next week.

CHALONER LOSES
FIGHT FOR ESTATE
Federal Court Rules He
Should Prove Sanity
in This State.

John Armstrong Chaloner, author OF
the Who's -Looney- NOw?" letter, man
who is insane in New York and sane
in Virginia, where he lives, lost his
fight yesterday in the Federal Circuit
Court OF Appeals to recover his ST.
600. 900 estate from William T. Sher-
man, who was appointed committee OF
his person when Chaloner was commit
ted to the Bloomlngdale Asylum in 1898.
The litigation began In 1897, when
the late Stanford White induced him to
visit his New York estate. He was ar
rested and an order was obtained in
the Supreme Court declaring him a
lunatic. Affidavits were made by his
two brothers. one OF whom was Sheriff
Bob" Chanler, and he was hurried 10
Bloomingdale.
He escaped from the asylum on
Thanksgiving Day, 1900. After world
wide search for him, he was found In
Virginia, the courts of which state de-
clared him sane. He at once changed
his name from Chanlcr, to Chaloner
and declared war against his family.
The decision handed down yesterday
af1irms the dismissal by the lower court
on the ground that it had no jurisdic-
ton to set aside or annul decision
Of the State Supreme Court Chaloner,
the court says. should establish his
sanity in this state TO regain the rights
he claims.
Last winter Chaloner petitioned the
New York courts TO increase his al
lowance Of $4,000 to $4,000. He was
then fifty-three years old. Sixteen OF
those years he said had been stolen
from him by the 'villanous" actions OF
stanford White and his (Chaloners)
family.
Chaloner attracted much attention
when he penned the "Who's-Looney-
Now?" letter 10 his brother. Sheriff
Bob" Chanler when the latter was
in litigation with his wife, Lima Cav
alieri, the opera singer. Chaloner's
wife, who divorced him, is now Prin-
cess Troubetzkoy. Her pen name is
Amelie Rives. In 1909 he accidentally
shot John Gaillard, an Englishman. who.
he said. attempted TO attack Mrs. Chal-
oner lie was absolyed By a coroner's
jury.

LEDYARD IGNORANT
OF BILLIARD LOAN
Folk Throws Down Gauntlet 10
Attorney General - Won't
Block Any Prosecution.
trrnm The Tribune Rureau.l


Uashincton. June 5.-AnOther YER
sion Of the activities OF Charles 5. Mel
len IN managing the affairs Of the New
Haven Railroad was presented 10 the
Interstate Commerce commission 70
dav bv Walker d. Hines, representing
the present management Of the sys-
TEN.
Mr.. Hines submitted committee min
utes. referred to in The Tribune DIS
patches, OF the special committee when
handled the Westchester deal, and le'-
ters. some Of which were written by
MIR, Mellen. These showed that the
ex-president Of the New Haven had
much more extensive knowledge OF tie
New Haven's affairs than he led the
commission to believe by his own testi-
mony.
Some Of the interesting facts brought
out by the hearing before the commits
sion to-day were:
That John L. Billiard had borrowed
100000 from the New England Nav
igation Company without the knowl-
edge Of its board Of directors.
That Billiard. who had made S2,74S =
900 out Of his Boston G. Maine transac-
ton with the New Haven, had filed tax
returns at his home in Connecticut
showing that he possessed property Of
the value Of only $4,000.
That il was the purpose Of Mr.. Folk,
chief counsel for the commission, not
70 interfere in any way with any plans
the Department Of Justice might have
for the prosecution Of the New Haven
directors.
Letters Tell Of Mellen's knowledge.
Mr.. Hines submitted letters bearing
on the purchase Of the -;ashua. Wor-
cester & Rochester Railroad by the Bos-
ton &, Maine, most Of the communica-
tons being between Mr.. Mellen and Mr..
futile, president of the Boston &
Maine. These showed that Mr.. Mellen
knew that negotiations for the pur-
chase Of this line were in progress be-
fore he expressed his astonishment
when Mr.. Morgan informed him over
the telephone that he had bought the
Mutual Life holdings.
In one Of these letters, dated January
IS. 1910, Mr.. Mellen informed Mr.. Tut
tie that Mr.. Morgan had not yet &C
quired the stock, but was trying TO
get il.
Lewis Cass Ledyard, who had spent
much OF the day under cross-examina-
ton, backed up the letters with the
statement that he had looked into the
records Of the Mutual Life and found
that on January II. 1910, Mr.. Morgan

Hartford. Conn, June 5.-Before
crowded courtroom. two dispositions by
the plaintiffs mother and her old nurse
both OF whom live In California, were
read TO the fury this afternoon in the
$4,000 suit which Mrs. Elizabeth A. T.
Holman, OF Watervile. Me, Is pushing
In the Federal Court against her FORMER
husband, the Rev. CraDston Brenton' OF
YonlSers, y. Y, and Drs. Paul waterman
and Oliver c. Smith. She accuses them
OF conspring to kidnap and confine her
in a Bratleboro. VI, madhouse until she
signed confession OF infdelity with
her present husband as the price Of her
release from little cell with barred win
dows
Her mother. Mrs. Susan r. Curtis, OF
Sierre Nadre, swore she once told Bren-
ton he could place her daughter in an
asylum only over her dead body, and that
Waterman insisted Mrs. Holman had "a
highly developed ego" She swore she
had discovered one plot TO abduct her
daughter.
She said Brenton concealed from her
letters from the Brattleboro madhouse,
particularly ono from s. T.. Lawton, the
superintendent, who wrote that then Mrs
Brenton was not insane and to come and
remove her.
"Cranston, I'm afraid my poor little
girl will commit suicide" she told Brcn-
ton one day at Trinity College. in this
city.
I'm his cold-blooded way" she says, he
replied, I've must be prepared for every
thing. Perhaps that would be the best
way out Of it"
Miss Elizabeth NJ. Schubmeh, deposed
that she had been a nurse In the Curtis
home, and that she visited the asylum,
where she found Mrs. Holman crying Bit
terly in a cold, dreary, unlighted cell.
Outside were shrieking lunatics, who
threw the furniture around the corridor.
Brenton had once told her, she alleged,
that II he could get his wife into an
asylum he could then get the custody OF
the boy and his own freedom at the same
time. When she asked why he did not
give his wife divorce, he answered. she
swore: How can I, a minister of the
Gospel, give her a divorce? [ shall do
so only on the ground OF infdelity."

with pile prescription. A month later
the farmer returned, said it cured him
and that he also tried it for cows score

druggist looked up the prescription
and found it contained iodine in form
that would build up new tissue without
the caustic acton of of the crude drug
on the old hearty tissue. He mixed
the ointment for hundreds of customers
and it is so good he thinks the public
