OPENING GRAVE OF
I THDMAS DRUSE
First Step Made Toward Solu
iiou oi' Mystery That Is Stir
ring England.
H CLAIM MADE THAT COFFIN
CONTAINS ROLL OF LEAD
Contest for Title of Nobility and
j Vast Rich Estates Is
Being Waged.
LONDON. Dec. 20. The work of open
Hj lug-, tho grave of Thomas Charles Druce
in Hlghgatc cemetery to del ermine prl
marlly whether tin: coffin contains the
body of a man. or. ns has been as.crtcd,
a roU of sheet load weighing some 200
pounds, was besrun today. Incidentally,
the clearing up of this mystery WM hc,P
materially the progress of tho famous
Druco
The three-ton monument which marks
j the resting place of the Druco family
Tas removed by a scoro of workmen, who
were protected from public observation by
1 a shed which had been erected around tho
burial plot- Within the shed electric lights.
1 were installed, so that operations might
proceed without Interruption.
All of thoso In attendance at the
j opening of the grave and tho coffin havo
been sworn to secrecy, so that tho rc
suit of the Investigations will not be
known until the experts develop evidence
at the pollco court.
Herbert Druce, the defendant In tho
now famous case. Is charged with eom
mlttlng perjury by swearing that his i
father, Thomas Charles Druce. of the
Baker Street bazaar, died December 28.
1S61, and that he saw tho dead body
j placed in a coffin and burled In lllgh-
gate cemetery His nephew, George 3 lol
lanby Druce, declares that this must be
untrue, becr-uro T. C. Druce was In fact
the fifth Duko of Portland, who lived
until 1879. That being sr. George Hol
HHh lanby Druco claims that ho himself, be-
HBH ing tho senior descendant In the male
line, is now tho rightful heir of ths Port-
HHh land dukedom and to certain rich cs-
HBB tates the Income of which Is placed at
Sl.fiQ0.000 u year, notv held by Lord
Howard do "Valden. The opening of the
praVe, however, will not give conclu-
xlve proof of the claim of George Ilol-
HHH lanby Druce.
Where Caldwell Figures.
Hi The fifth Duke of Portland and a man j
known as Thomas C Druco have been
HHH declarod to be one and the same per-
HHH son by about ono dozen witnesses, hut j
HHH particularly by Robert C. Caldwell of
'New York, who testified at length and
In detail to this effect during the pres-
ont trial. Caldwell loft London for New
Tork the middle of December. Upon his
HHH arrival he was arrested at tho request
of the British authorities on a charge
of perjury. He Is now ill ut his home
on Statcn Island. Should he be brought
HjpM to trial the evidence obtained from open-
HHJ Jng tho coffin would do much to convict
jpjH or clear him.
Herbert Druce opposed the opening of
Hjpjl the grave on the ground that he did
HHjh not wish to desecrate his father's re-
HHjl mains on the whim of a person who
HHH chose to make a claim to an estate he j
is not Interested in, and who has put j
forward a claim, he declares, he know
jHjj lo be untrue. He was obliged finally.
HjVjl however, by the popular demand, to put
jVjj aside sentiment and consent to the ex-
HHB humatlon for the purpose, as his ad- j
jpji vlsers say, of once and for alLputllng
HjhJI an end to the story for which Caldwell
HBH alone seems responsible, that there was
HHH lead In the coffin.
I WOULD HAVE CONGRESS ;
SUPPORT EX-PRESIDENTS
WASHINGTON, Doc. 2D. Senator Wil
liam B. AJllBon of Iowa, chairman of
the committeo on appropriations, favors '
action by congress looking to the care
and support of ex-prcsldcnts of the
United States. In an Interview tonight
he referred to the recent utterances of
former President Grover Cleveland on
the subject, and agreed with him that
such provision should be mado In this
direction. The matter deserved consid
eration at the hands of congress, he
ald, and undoubtedly would receive It. '
In the caso of Thomas Jefferson, who '
died poor, Mr. Allison said the govern- ;
ment would have done well to pav his .
debts. At present 7lrs. Garfield Is re
ceiving an allowance from the govern
ment, and he said that to make provi
sion for cx-presldcnts would cause no
considerable drain on tho treasury, as
rarely have there been Lwo of them alive

Whero mosocs are moist In tho wood

All over tho stroets of tho town.

Of summor rosorts and the llko,
And I toll you, I secrotly hanker

And journey 'way back lo tho farm

Whore It always Is "dinner at noontlmo

I'm weary of "lunch" and of "luncheon,"
Whether costly or low-priced or frco.
And tho thought of a "six-o'clock din

I want to eat pie with a knife.
And make tho same use of a saucer
That I learned very early In life.

Prepare for Another Legal
Battle.
BOSTON, Dec. 20. Disputing tho pow
er of Mm. Mary Baker G. JSddy, head
of the Christian Sclenco church, to mako
disposition of so largo a part of her for
tune, formal notices havo been served up
on Trustees McClellan. Fcrnald and 33a
kor. having in chargo Mrs. ISddy'n es
tate, ordering them not to namo an ap
propriation of $1,000,000 to found a charl
tablo Institution recently announced, or
any other appropriation from Mrs. Eddy's
estate, pending the outcome of litiga
tion. According to former United States Son
ator William B. Chandlor this action la
to bo followed by a now lawsuit Involv
ing tho Christian Sclenco head and hor
trustees, brought by tho "next friends."
Mrs. Eddy's son. Gcorgo W. Glovor, his
daughlor, Mary Baker Glover, and Mrs.
ISddy's adopted son. Dr. Ebonczer J. Fos
ter of Waterbury. Vt.
The contention of Mr, Chandler Is that
tho proposed appropriation of a million
dollars Is in direct violation of Mrs. lid
dy's deed of trust of March 6, 1007, by
which she turned over all her property
to tho throe trustees for llfo. reserving
only tho right to use the Income and
certain realty, and which act marked tho
partial termination of litigation against
hor and tho trustees by tho "next friends"
a few months slnco.
The new action, It Is declared, will bn
ontlrely Independent of another suit now
pending against F. S. Streotor. Mrs. Ed
dy's attorney In Concord, demanding In
formation concerning tho deed of trust
for 5125,000 set aside by Mrs. Eddy for

fight the strings of tho kite arc covered
with a preparation of powdered glass that
gives thorn along their entire length tiny
saw teeth, and the objoct Is for one string
to fall sawlike over another so as to cut It.
Groat skill Is displayed in these fights.
Young men handlo tho kites with great

In a way unknown outside of tho orient.
A kite, ns If alive, suddenly darts down
and to tho left, It crosses the track of an
other kite, the two strings come to

minute tho under kite. Its cord 3underod,
falls to tho ground llko a bird that has

sclentlsto of other countries that those
orientals who are so skillful at kite con

things so lightly, have never turned to
the problems of aerial navigation.

Intq Prohibition Column;
Law Is Strict.
ATLANTA. Go., Dec. 20. With the ad
vent of tho now year the law prevent
ing the manufacturo and sale of lntoxl
cntlng liquors, passed by tho last ses
sion of the loglslaturo, becomes effec
tive making Georgia the first of tho
Soulhorn Btatos to bo placed In the pro
hibition column. Tho law Is very dras
tic In Its prohibition and prevents the
keoplng or giving away of liquors in
public placen and Imposes a tax of $500
on clubn. whose members aro allowed to
keep drinks of an Intoxicating nature In
their Individual lockors.
Notwithstanding tho passage of this
law, thoro Is some agitation to have It
doclarcd unconstitutional. This action
may bo brought In tho United Statos I
courlB In tho course of tho month.
Somo Financial Losses.
It waa claimed today that Atlnnta
alone would loan In llccnso taxes $135,
Cn'J, and that tho property values of
saloons and breweries here which will
go out of business on January 1 13 from
$1,000,000 to $1,500,000. For tho rest of
the slate, tho property values Involved
are about $5,000,000. It Is estimated that
I 10,000 persons will loso their employment
j when January 1 rings Its bell on tho
sale of Intoxicating liquors.
That the prohibition law will bo en

May Affect School.
Tho constitution of Georgia, In Its pro
vision for nchool maintenance, Is very
specific, according to ono Atlanta lawyor.
Tho question now arises whero the funds
for the maintenance of tho public schools
will come from, and It la said that a
considerable increase In tho tax rate may
result.
Gov. Hoko Smith mado this statement
to tho Associated Proas tonight: "There
Is nothing In the effort to attack the pro
hibition law on account of tho provision
of tho constitution appropriating special
liquor taxes to school purposes. Tho con
stitution authorizes but does not require
a special liquor tax.
"Tho concerns which quit tho liquor
business aro not lost. Tho breweries are
prepared to manufacture Ice and soft
drinks, with which they can pay a fair
profit on their Investments.
"Thero is plenty of work In Georgia
for thoso who go out of the liquor busl
i ncss, and plenty of work for all of the
tlmo of thoso who havo wasted- half their
I tlmo through the use of liquor."
