HEARING OPENS
 C0NTRABAND
 FUR SEIZURES
ENTIRE DAY CONSUMED BY GOV EMINENT IN PRESENTING TIES TIMONY IN VACHON FUR CASE CASE CONTINUED UNTIL THIS MORNING..

The preliminary hearing in the Va chon fur case began yesterday morn ing before Commissioner Reed Heilig, sitting as a commissioner of the U. S. district court and not as an ex- officio justice of the peace. The en- tire day was consumed in taking of testimony presented by the govern ment and the examination of the beaver furs alleged to have been of- fered for shipment by Peter Vachon thru the mails to the states.
 Deputy U. s. Marshal Jim Hagen, of Nenana, was called by the govern ment as it's first witness. MT. Hagen was on the stand for but few minutes and told of going to Tolo- vana, accompanied by Warden Foster, the complaining witness in the cases, and the seizure of the alleged con- traband skins. He identified the sacks as those which contained the furs seized by himself and MT. Eos ter. On cross examination by At torney Marquam for the defnese, he stated that he was sent to TOlovana by Marshal Erwin who had received information regarding the alleged contraband shipment and at whose instance a search warrant was sworn out by Warden Foster. He also stat ed on cross examination that he was unable to state just what MT. Va chon's declaration covering the ship ment contained, but that he was posi- tive that it did not make any men, tion of beaver skins. The furs he said were found in Vachon's ware house and barn in sacks marked with two tags, mailing tag and a ship ping tag on which was written the name of the consignee, etc.
 Following MT. Hagen, Warden Eos ter was called by the government and his statement regarding the seiz- ure of the shipment was corrobora- tive of the one made by the deputy marshal He also stated on direct examination that he was convinced that none of the beaver from which the furs were taken had been killed longer than five years and that many of them not more than two years.
 His cross examination took consid- erable time but failed to produce "u.n-t,.~t was new. altho he admit ted that it was a hard matter to say positively in just what section of the country the animals were killed and that statement of the exact time of their killing was practically i'm possible. After MT. Fosters testi- mony was complete, the skins were again emptied from the sacks and the defense, with the aid of F. s. Gordon and Abe Stein made an ex. animation of all skins. The hearing will be resumed again at 10 o'clock this morning.
 Fresh interest was added to the cases today when it became known that the TIA marten skins seized by Deputy U. s. Marshal John B. Pow CTS, of Eagle, on the steamer Alaska, and which it is said were part of a mail shipment consisting of 32 sacks which was recently made from Tolo- vana by Peter Vachon, are being re- turned here by the government. It is probable that the hearings will be continued to include the marten skins when they arrive. It is thot that Deputy Powers is on the Alaska and will arrive here next week.

EXPATRIATES WILL
COSTS KIN $50, 900
Brother Nonsuited in Effort
TO Obtain Legacy.

In a report filed yesterday in the
Surrogate's Court by Egerton L. Win
throp. referee. the dismissal of a claim
of John Rose Chadwick against the
estate of his brother, Coster Chadwick.
who died in France, is recommended
and the story Of the self-expatriation
OF the Chadwick family following the
civil war was rected
According to the referee the parents
of John Rose Chadwick and Coster
Chadwick were ardent Southern SYM
pathizers and this caused them to re-
nounce the land of their birth and
settle in France when the cause of the
Confederacy was lost. Coster Chadwick
lived with his parents in France but
made frequent trips to America up to
the time of his death in August 1914.
John Rose Chadwick lived in America.
By the terms of his will $40 was
left to John Rose Chadwick and the
residue OF the estate was bequeathed
to an aunt. Henrietta Tallmadge, and
a cousin, Ida Bisland Williams. As the
latter predeceased Coster Chadwick the
surviving brother contended that under
the law OF the State of New York he
was entitled to her share of the estate.
Referee Winthrop held that as the dece-
dent had spent the greater part Of his
life in France and had shown no in
tenticn Of making his permanent DOM
icile in this country the will is subject
to the laws OF France. For that rea-
son, he decided. the entire estate re
verts to the other residuary legatee.
Marty $4,000 is involved by the deci-
sion.

Casazza OF the Metropolitan Opera

pathy, will appear in several per-
formances during the coming season OF

reasons which impelled Nine. Destinn
to change her name. although 1t is
presumed that it was because her for
mer name was too much associated with
things Teutonic. since she was born in
Bohemia and was a subject of Austria
before the war. Her real name. how
ever is Emmy Kittel. She is the daugh-
ter of a well to do citizen of Prag
