INSANE,
SUPREME COURT
OF u. S. DECIDES
Highest Tribunal Refuses to Dis
charge New York State
Guardian of His Property

Washington, Jan. S.-John Armstrong
Chaloner, Of Merry Mills, Virginia
bv n Supreme Court decision to-day
lost his suit to annul New York pro-
ceedings. in which he was declared
insane, and which was designed TO
secure possession, from his lunacy
trustee. Of property. estimated at nearly
81 OOO. 900. The court declined to dis
turb the insanity proceedings, leaving
Chaloner's property in the trustee s
hands.
John Armstrong Chaloner is,'in his
own words, q geographical lunatlc.
He has been declared legally insane
in New York and legally sane in var
ginia and North Carolina He Is a
brother of ex-Ljeutenant Governor
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler and Sheriff
Robert ". Chanler, the former hus-
band Of Princess Amelie Riyes Trou-
betzkoy. and great grandson OF the
first John Jacob Aston. He rs best
known. perhaps. for his phrase who's
loony now" which he asked when his
brother Bob ard Lima Cavalieri were
married.
Chaloner lost control Of his big
estate when he was committed to the
Bloomingdale Asylum by an order Of
the New York Supreme Court, in 1899.
He escaped the next year and went TO
Virginia, whore the courts adjudged
him sane. Stree that time he has
fought a long and unsuccessful battle
in the courts to have Thomas T. Sher-
man discharged as the committee Of
his person and property in New York
State.
The decision Of the State Supreme
Court was upheld in 1912 by the United
States District Court. Chaloner then
made an appeal from this decision in
the United States Supreme Court. Its
decision, handed down to-day, disposes
finally OF the question.

IISOLDIER-FIANCE
KILLED, GIRL DIES
Stenographer, II, Shoots
HerseIf-YOuth Was
Slain i'm France

Marion Lewis, seventeen years olu'
who had brooded since Christmas over
the death Of young man on frencn
battlefield, shot and killed herself last
night in her home, at 526 west looth
Street. The young woman's family
would not divulge the name OF the man
for whom she grieved, nor did they ex-
plain how she obtained revolver.
Until eight months ago the couple
had seen much of each other, their
friends noticed, at dances and outings
The young man was a frequent caller
at her home. In the spring he began to
talk Of the lure Of the combat across
the Atlantic, and eight months ago ne
sailed for England, where he enlisted IN
the British army.
Word came that he had been wounded
and his letters stopped Christmas Day
brought news of his death. Blood
poisoning had set in. The BRIEF mes
sage told little more.
IL was shock that seemed to numb
the girls sensbilities. She went about
her duties mechanically, and the news
which she announced few days ago
that she had obtained a position with a
typewriter concern was delivered with
little OF the enthusiasm IL would have
aroused a month before.
She was to begin work as stenog-
rapher yesterday and left her home
early in the morning Her family saw
her depart with relief. for they hoped
that interest in her new task would
dispel her grief
1t was nearly o'clock when she re-
turned to her apartment on the fourth
floor Of the house. Her brother julius
and her sister Ida were the only mem
bers Of the family at home. Marion took
off her coat and hat and hung them in
the hall, and without a word Of greet
ing went to the bathroom.
The door slammed and like an echo
came the report Of a revolver. Her
brother and sister rushed TO her side.
The bullet had penetrated her right
temple. The revolver lay beside her

the House the highly remarkable bill
making anything more than an eight
hour day illegal on railroads, thus dis
posing Of overtime and making practi-
cally the same provisions for compul-
sorry arbitration as now are IN the bili
before the Senate committee.
Plight of Brotherhoods
The situation as IL is seen TO exist
to-day and the crisis which stirred the
country to the depths last August pre-
sent a laughable contrast. Labor men
and the representatives Of the brother
hoods who secured governmental inter
ference then TO gain an increase IN
wages under the name Of an eight-hour
law now Gnd themselves IN a Guide
sac II they take the eight-hour law
the inevitable corollary is some form
Of compulsory arbitration.
II. following the arguments which
we're begun to-day, the Supreme Court
finds the Adamson law unconstitutional
the situation on March 4 will be eX-
actly the same rs existed last August
The slate will be clean. for there is to
be no additional legislation this ses-
sion.
II the Adamson law is held constitu-
tional the railroads will have to pay
the huge increases in wages called for
and the railroad companies will look TO
the President to make good his implied
promise of an authorized increase Of
freight rates But unless the Interstate
Commerce Commission can be in
creased. as the President asks, giving
him opportunity TO appoint two men
who believe increased freight rates JUS
tilted, that implied promise must be
forgotten as other implied promises
have been forgotten.
Supreme Court Argument
The argument before the Supreme
Cont was made by Walker ID. Hines,
general counsel for the Atchison. To-
peka & Santa Fe. who is acting chair
man OF the committee Of counsel FOR
the railroads. He contended that the
Adamson act is solely regulation OF
wages and S not a limitation OF the
hours of service. If the Adamson act is
a limitation upon the hours Of service,
then by implication II repeats or
amends the siNteen-hour law of 1907.
An actual limitation Of the hours OF
service TO eight could be accomplished
only by a relocation OF railroad terml-
mails. he said, or a speeding up OF
trains. Increasing the speed of freight
trains would necessitate reduction IN
the trainload. Low freight rates have
been effected very largely by heavy
train loading. This economy would
largely be destroyed If tralnloads mad
to be lightened so that they might be
moved at higher speed.
The chief attack on the constitution
ality Of the law is directed at the third
section. which attempts TO increase the
wages OF portion Of the railroad en-
ployes for a period of from seven to
eleven months. The railroads argue
that this is a violation of the Fifth
Amendment TO the Constitution because
10 is an extreme interference with the
liberty Of contract, an appropriation OF
property without compensation and
legislation for the direct benefit of one
class of the community at the direct
expense Of another class Of the com
munity.

LITTLE ACTIVITY
 IN FLANDERS, BUT EAST FRONTS BUSY
Mackensen Compels Russo Rumanians to Abandon
 Important Positions.
Associated Press Summary

y .
 Infantry fighting on the western front and especially in Flanders, has not been marked in the past 24 hours.
 In southern Moldavia, the Teuton drive against the Russians progresses.
 In Flanders, Anglo-French and German troops apparently are resting dn preparation for further infantry activity. The Germans can hardly permit the British to hold the Inn portant salients east of Ypres and east of Gilkep and Hollbel1e, without first making additional efforts to straighten out their front By wid- ening the salient, Field Marshal Haig tlas increased the insecurity of the German line from Dixmude north to the coast, as well as toward Lens. The French again have repulsed the Germans along the Aisnc Sunday night and Monday the Teutons tried to recapture ground lost south of AAilles. The French threw back all the attacks. East of the positions, the French took the offensive and suc- ceeded in making small advence. Elsewhere, on the French front the artillery fighting continues violent.
 The Russians and Rumanians hav- ing been forced to give up the Fox shani-Marascheti line and retired to the Sereth river, Field Marshal von Mackensen has been able to capture Cantziu, railway town. By taking >the town the Teutons probably have cut the railway line north, imperiling the Russians and Rumanians fighting around Ocna, as the railroads north from ,Marascheti was one of their few means of getting supplies.
 German airplanes which raided the English coast Sunday apparently had London as their objective, but the prompt defense compelled them to abandon that plan. In the pursuit two of the raiders were brought down by British airmen. Berlin admits the loss of one. Amsterdam reports a German plane was forced to land in Dutch territory Sunday.

Debate on Waterway RilI

Washington, Aug. 13.-General de- pate In the senate on the war tax Dill is expected to close tomorrow | 'Craiman Simmons of the finance com mlttee, said late today that only two more senators had signified their in tention to speak and he would move to take up the vote as soon as they have been heard.
 The taxpayer must bear in mind said Senator Penrose. that the bill Is temporary, and when the war is over the whole system will be re- Rised. After the war the United States more than ever will need a high protective tariff to maintain it's industrial policies" He declared an element of uncertainty had been in- vested into the consideration of the tax bill.
 : Senator McCumber predicted war of at least four years and an expen- diture of $4O,OO0,00O,OOO. He said the bill was just the beginning of the taxes to be levied, but declared the future generations must pay the greater part of the cost as the pres ent generation will provide the men and material.
 Senator Reed again launched an at tack against Food Administrator Hoover.

TO THE PUBLIC.

Recently the state health authori- ties felt that the proper conservation of the public health demanded that every teacher and child, of school age, should be vaccinated before the opening date of the annual school term. This regulation must be ob- served, in keeping with the rulings of the state authorities. No local school board has power to nullify There is no question of the value of this regulation and the cooperation of the public should be spontaneous and without question. This explan- ation is offered the public that the patrons may fully understand the source of the regulation. A certifi- cate specifying an effective vaccina- tion will be required of every pupil son entrance at opening date of city schools.

 less Stations.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Renewed re- ports Of hidden German wireless sta- lions or supply bases on the Mexican Gulf coast may lead to a search of those waters by American warships.
 Reports to the state department and navy department contain no confir- nation of the report of discovery of wireless stations on Lobos Island and the coast of Campechi, but it was in- olcated that careful scrutiny of southern waters might be made for traces Of German raiders or supply craft.
 Officials are inclined to minimize the reports of wireless stations. bnt theory that German small craft may be operating along the coast ia not taken so lightly.
 Campechi is district almost iso- lated from the inretior by immense stretches of jungle, and officials ad- init that agents of Germany might carry on the supplying of German small ships for a long time without detection.
