XKW YORK. Feb. 20. Beoauso a
niijn thinks ho resembles Napoleon Is
no roason to doclarc him Insane, was
tho reasoning ot John Armstrong
Chaloner's attorneys hero today when
tho re-named scion of the house of
Chaloner began suit boforo United
States Judge Holt to recovor millions
Inborlted from his "Astor ancostors"
and which bavo boon withhold from
him since ho was declared insano by
tho New York courts.
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.
When the suit was Nyioned today At
torney Ware, for' Chaloner, intro
duced photographs to show his cli

was not a hallucination nt all. Ho

TOULON, Franco, Fob. 20. Por
firlo Diaz, who Is watching tho re
volt In Mexico with much Interest,
finds keon satisfaction In his boMof
that Francisco I. Madoro, who suc
ceeded hlui as president and who
drovo him from power and "stolo his
hitherto uncontested popularity," is
now paying dearly for his thirst for
powor.
Tho aged ex-presldont and his
beautiful wife are living In seclusion
at Cape Dial. Long walks in tho Hun
shlne and the bracing air from tho
Mediterranean seem to have restored
his health. Diaz Is In excellent spir
its and does not attempt to conceal
tho satisfaction ho derives from Pres
ident Madoro's troubles. Ho Insists,
howovor, that his greatest dcslro Is
that peace should bo speedily re
stored In Mexico.
Likely to Do Deserted.
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. I do not know that I shall
cvor return to my native land, for
while 1 shall always havo tho great
est rovorenee ami love. I would bo
groatly pleased it Mexico succeeds In
shaking off the evils that beset her
and Is speedily restored to tho state
of peace und prosperity which her
people should bo able to enjoy."
