Y. Y. May Recognize
ChaLOner's Sanity Now

Formal proceedings have been
started by John Armstrong Chaloner
in New York to establish himself as
sane in that state by asking for the
removal of Thomas T. Sherman as
committee of his estate in a petition
filed in the supreme court which
briefly summarizes incidents in the
last twenty-five years of his life.
Mr.. Chaloner hopes to regain his
personal freedom and possession of
his property.
That the family breach which &C.
CURED after Mr.. Chaloner was de-
clared incompetent upon the petition
of two brothers and a cousin on
March 10, 1897, has been closed was
announced by him several weeks ago
upon the receipt of letter from his
sister, Mrs. John Jay Chapman, in
which she stated that the differences
no longer existed.
Mr.. Chaloner in his petition quot
ed from the letter as proof that his
kin do not oppose his latest move
to re-establish himself here. 1t is
considered likely that Mr.. Chaloners
petition will be granted by default
at the hearing on July Is.

China viii Sign the
Peace Treaty, Saws japan

A brilliant official celebration held
in Toxic, Japan, to commemorate
the bringing about of peace with
Germany was marked by an accident
which was interpreted in Japanese
political circles as indicating that
China would eventually sign the
peace treaty.
Viscount Uchida, the foreign min
lister, gave a peace dinner on Satur-
day to the diplomatic corps, which
was followed by ball. The Chinese
charge deaffaires declined to attend
the function. While the excuse Of
fered for the non-attendance was
illness, it is learned that the real
reason was that he had received a
telegram from Picking ordering him
to absent himself. This was con-
sidered as an additional protest
against the Shantung settlement pro-
vided for in the treaty, and caused
a furry in official circles.
Premier Hara gave an elaborate re-
ception Monday which was attended
by two thousand persons, at which
the sudden arrival of the Chinese
representative came in the nature of
a sensation.
Replying to an inquiry by the cor
respondent, the Chinese representa-
tive said he had attended in pursu-
ance to Geographic authority from
Picking. He was not informed, he
added, whether China meant to sign
the treaty eventually.

Asks 100000 From Rival
For Artist Husbands ove

Against the charms of a younger
woman who possessed both beauty
and fortune, Mrs. Clara S. Steichen
admits she has unsuccessfully
fought to retain the affections of her
husband. Eduard J. Steichen, one of
the foremost living artists and who
has been signally honored on more
than one occasion by the French gov
eminent.
Every concession possible for a
forbearing wife to make was made
by Mrs. Stefchen, she states, to over
come the wiles and influences ex-
erted upon her husband. At last in
despair Mrs. Steichen has begun an
action in the New York supreme
court for the lost love of her hus-
band, which, she alleges, was stolen
by Miss Marion H. Beckett, daugh-
ter of the late Surrogate Charles
Henry Beckett, from whom the young
woman inherited a fortune. Mrs.
Steichen appraises the artists af-
Long before fame was achieved by
Mr.. Steichen and at a time when
Auguste Rodin, the sculptor, was
commencing his ability to the
French government, Mrs. Steichen
ayers Miss Beckett began to angle
4O4 41S1 . du0CIlOnS, DY
posing as a model and later by open
ing studio in the Latin quarter of
Paris for the express purpose of
entertaining him.
Mrs. Steichen tells a remarkable
story of receiving the young woman
into her home, believing she was a
friend and accepting her ministra-
lions when i'll, only to discover later
that Miss Beckett had more than a
platCnic interest in Mr. Steichen
She accuses the defendant of pursu-
ing her husband from Europe to this
country when he made his annual
visits for the purpose of receiving
commissions from the wealthy
Finally suspecting Miss Beckett,
the artists wife declared she warm
ed her to remain away from the art
list. Miss Beckett, states the plain
tiff, begged for forgiveness and ask
ed for photograph of Mrs. Steichen
and the latter's eldest daughter,
saying she would strengthen her
resolution to put the artist out of
her mind.
Believing Miss Beckett, Mrs.
Steichen says she gave the photo
graphs. She subsequently learned
Miss Beckett had failed to fulfill her
promises and had received the artist
in her suite at a hotel in Voulangis,
France. She also accompanied him
on various trips to this city and
Vermont, where the mother of Miss
