NEW YORK, April 30.-Past and

and an imposing array of witnesses
were presented in Supreme Court JUS
tice Giegerich's court yesterday by
Nathan B. Chadsey, a lawyer, in an
attempt to avoid being declared Of un-

had created a disturbance in the Fifth
avenue offices of AlanSon B. Hough-
ton, American Ambassador to Great
Britain, is fighting attempts of Bel
levue Hospital authorities to have him
committed to an asylum. Yesterday
he contended that a man of good mem
ory could not be a lunatic, and, calling
Supreme Court Justice Levy as wit
ness, he discussed with him the i'm
peachment proceedings of former Gov.
Sulzer. in which Justice Levy had
been the prosecutor. Justice Levy
confirmed Chadsey's assertions con-
cerning minute details of the famous
hearing.
Former Judge Alton B. Parker, one
time Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, another witness, did not remem-
Der as many details as did Chadsey
in a memory joust concerning past
political history in which both Judge
Parker and Chadsey had participated.
Various other justices and attorneys
were questioned by Chadsey, whose
remembered details of long-past events
were confirmed by the witnesses.

NEW YORK, April 80. - Lieut..
George Edgar Brandt, secretary of the
advisory committee on oceanography
of the United States Navy, announced
yesterday at the exposition of inVen-
tionS that exploration of the bottom
of the sea soon will be undertaken by
the Navy Department on an extensive
scale.
He said he would command the first
expedition into the Gulf of Mexico
and the Caribbean Sea, which will be
known as the "Mauray L. S. Navy
Oceanograph Expedition" in honor of
Lieut.. Matthew Fontaine Maury, pio-
neer in deep-sea investigations. The
photographer the Navy, Capt. F. B.
Bassett, has obtained the use of the
u. S. S. Rainbow for the expedition,
which, Lieut.. Brandt said, will under
take to do in the waters around the
Panama Canal what William Beebe,
the explorer, now is doing in the Sar-
goSSa Sea.
Lieut.. Brandt said the arrange
ments had been made in Washington
at a conference of scientists in the
Navy, with the approval of the Sec
retary of the Navy. One purpose OF
the expedition is to ascertain whether
more submarine resources cannot be
developed to provide for increasing
populations.
Population experts tell US" Lieut..
Brandt said, that the expected in
crease of human life before many
years must give rise to conditions in
which the porducts of the land will
fall short of feeding the people"

NEW CLUE FOUND
IN KIDNAPPING CASE
Former Convict, Sought in
Girls Disappearance,
TraiIed by Posse.
By the Associated Press.

GRANVILLE, VT, April 3o.-The
hunt for Lucille Chatterton, 11-year-
old Granville girl, who disappeared
from her fathers farm last Friday,
and Earl Woodward, Navy deserter,
former convict, and her alleged kid
naper, swung in a new direction to-
day when it was reported that a man
had raided the dairy of a farm be-
tween North Randolph and Brookfield
just before dawn. The barking of
dogs awakened the farmer and his
wife, but no one was seen. This
morning a can of cream was miss
ing, and a mans footprints were
found.
A posse of men Immediately started
from Randolph to join searchers from
the cluster of farms known as North
Randolph. At the same time the hunt
was being pressed in the East RoX-
bury West Brookfield section, where
searchers directed by Attorney Gen
eral Frank c. Archibald were join
ed by a detachment of Norwich Uni
versity cadets, commanded by United
States Army officers.
If the farm raid was carried out
by Woodward, il was pointed out, he
has moved between 5 and miles
from where the ashes of a camp fire
were found yesterday into a less
heavily wooded and more thickly
populated district.
Whether or not the little girl. who
vanished in the evening of last Fri
day from Granville, with only a
sweater over her dress, is still alive,
is a matter of speculation.
A reward of 5000 for the capture of
Woodward has been made by the State
and Gov. Billings.
