Chaloner. whoso original name was John Armstrong Chanler, was prom inently before tho public years ago when his brothers, former Lieutenant Governor Chanler of Now York, and "Sheriff Dob" Chanler. husb.-nd ot Llna Cnvallerl, had him declnrod In sane. Chaloner fled from Now ork and bus since been living in exllo In Virginia. He came notably into the public eye again when "Shorlff Dob" was roportod to havo signed over half his fortune to tho singer. Chal oner then wired to Paris: "Who's loony now?" and the expression be cntuo a slang classic. Chnlanor probably will come to Now York undor the protection of tho court to toll during tho present suit how he was declared Insane.

According to Diaz, tho followers ot Madoro believed when they mado him president that Haciendas would be partitioned among them "and thoy would soon enjoy an era of great prosperity. When they found Ma dero would not do this they becatno disgruntled and the present revolu tion resulted. If Madero attempted a dictatorship, Diaz said, both tho army and tho pooplo would forsake him. "Howovor," said Diaz, "my pecu liar position probably prevents mo from forming a correct opinion. My dearest wish Is that penco will bo promptly restored. I havo no deslro to take a hand in Mexican affairs. My roason for quitting tho presidency when I had every facility for crush. Ing my cnomlesf was my deslro for peace nnd my unwillingness to op poso tho national will. Is Living Contentedly. "I am living contentedly horo with my wlfo.
