TWENTY-FIVE YEAR BATTI,E
Is Won by Chaloncr, Man who Orig
mated "Nho's Iooney NOw?"

ih'tSu VINO > I0Oncy NOw!'
New York, July 2G.-.-.A twenty-five.
year legal fight which attained ma
tion-wide notOriety was ended here
to-day when Supreme Court Justice
Ford declared John Armstrong Chal-
oner, of Who's Loon ay now?" fame,
to be sane citizen, and man Of
competence. All Of Chaloner's legal
rights as citizen Of New York State
were restored, and he will be restor-
ed to full management Of his $4,000,
600 estate.
The decision was a lengthy one,
and traced the history Of Chaloner's
case back to 1897, when the young
millionaire was first committed to
Bloomingdale Asylum ut the behest
Of some members of the family. He
had been divorced two years prior
to that time by Amelie Rives, the
novelist, who later married Prince
TrOubetsk0y
The courts Of Virginia declared
Chaloner sane in 1901, following his
escape from Bloomingdale, and he
was also declared sane in North Car
Olina. In late years he has lived in
Virginia, where he has large estates.
Fhe now famous remark, who's
looney n0w?" was originated by
Choiohci years tSo "uGH HO IcuTnGQ
that his brother, Robert Winthrop
Chanler, had married Lima Cava-
lieri,, the opera singer, and had set
tied on her large part Of his for
tune.
Chaloners relatives did not or
pose the present action.
AS result Of his difficulties with
his family Chaloner some years ago
had his name changed from the orig
inal family name Of "Chanler" to
"ChalOncr."

Shuts Mission Not
On Behalf Of Allies

PARIS. April 10.-(By the Associated
Press. 1.-The report of General Jan
Christian SHUTS concerning his visit to
Hungary, and the entire circumstances
surrounding his mission - provoking
much criticism in entente circles. Al
though General SHUTS was authorized
to so to Budapest by the council OF
four, the nature of his mission was not
clearly defined.
The French and other allied gov
crnments are provoked because the
statements of Bella Kun, Hungarian for
eign minister and leader Of the Soviets.
give the impression that General SHUTS
had diplomatic standing. and that MS
conferences with the Hungarian OIL
Gals constituted recognition by the en-
tentc Of the Soviet government.
While the diplomatic standing OF
General SHUTS is denied by virtually
all the entente delegations, the impress
sion is gaining ground that his trip TO
Hungary was directed chiefly by the
British. and that It was not sympa-
thetically supported by the other
allies.
