Here it may be noted that in spite of the great

adequate representation of those old painters
who shed most glory on the nation. There are
several good things in the Petit Palais, among
them an interesting portrait of the Count of
Toulouse by Natter, a beautiful portrait of

Rigaud and a noble example of Chardin-a

looking forward they are also looking back
vite the visitor to follow their example.
The Grand Palais contains the works of art
sent in by all the nations. 1t accommodates an
immense collection of French paintings, sculpt-
ures, engravings, architectural designs and so
on, executed since the Exposition Of 1889. But
the Government would not stop at the forma-
ton of this body of work. Committees were or
ganzed for the preparation of a Centennial"
exhibition. which would carry the record back
Com 1889 to 1900 This committee embraced
half the officials collectors and pubcists of
Paris; it included also the directors of most
of the provincial museums and a number of
Foreign connoisseurs. These men put their
shoulders to the wheel with so much energy
that the catalogue of the Centennial exhibition
runs to more than three thousand numbers
The works represented by these numbers are
all shown in the Grand Palais. And still the
Government was not content The Petit PaIais

these treasures it is impossible to give de-

few paintings appear mostly of the last CEN
fury. The rest of the space is devoted to the
thousand and one articles which went to adorn
French life in the past. There is decorated
armor, there are picturesque old sleighs. there
tapestries. cabinets, chairs. bedsteads. fans
snuff boxes and utensils for the table. These
Items provoke some interesting reflections It is

It is characteristic of the French that the
buildings in the Exposition which they have
made Of enduring materials the two devoted
exclusively to the sheltering of works of art
The Petit Palais des Beaux-Arts quite the
most admirable edifice within the limits of the
show, is to be used in the future for kind of
retrospective exhibition museum. Every
form of art in which the genius of the nation
has manifested itself will here be illustrated,
from tapestries to door knobs from clocks to
armor and the plan is to keep changing the eX-
hibits so that, year after year, the collection
will give an ever fresh course of instruction in
the history of French art. The Grand Paais
des Champs Elysees, which stands just OPP
posite will be employed for the annual Salon.
With its vast wall space and its big sculpture
court this building must already be warming
the hearts of those artists, French and foreign.

deputy sheriff; in the jurisdiction of the
Empire Stat. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Roberts is wanted by Shein GrelI on ac-
count of an unpaid judgment fer $2l,
1916, secured against him by his sister
Jane L Brooks
Mr. Roberts left Washington last night
for Columbus, Ohio, to speak tomorrow
before the Ohio Bankers Association.
Accordingly he could not be seen today
by a reporter.
The alleged misrepresentation of trust
funds caused much interest al the time Of
the suit, and 1t was thought for a while
that Mr.. Roberts might be called upon to
leave the Treasury Department on account
of the alleged scandal. Nothing, however,
was done about 1t.
The story, as printed today in New York,
is in part as follows:
Mrs. Brooks (Mr. Roberts sister is
nearly eighty years old. and feeble. Many
years ago she bought house in West
ThiTty-second street. near Fifth Avenue.

and thrift she paid of the Indebtedness

Lawyers Richard J. Lewis, of IS VII

Referee Ingraham reported adversely upon
every point raised by Treasurer Roberts

Lawyer James E. Terrence. who repre-

client had been very badly treated, had

of the series OF the High School cham

tests and the result is harder TO foretell
than it has been in pssvious years There
is a higher standard CT general excellence
and teams that heretofore have been con
sidered weak have shown by their play
thus far this seasenL that they viii pro-
vide hard problems to solve.
Central High School generally has man
aged TO win cut in the championship Sc
ries of previous years. The team this
year will make hard fight of course, but
Western High Schools supporters incline
to the belief thai their colors Will be in
the ascendancy at the close OF the season.
Western has played a splendid game this
fall, and has easily defeated all opponents.
Business High has played but one game,
that with the Young Mems Christian As

line on their condition has been OBJ

According to the indications by which

Event in 1902.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct 23-At a meeting
of building and ways and means commit
tees of the Toledo Yachting Associa ion
held last evening, it was decided to hold
in Toledo in 1892 the biggest inter-iake
regatta ever held in this country. Amo3g
the yachtsmen who arrived at this de-
cision were President 0. S. Richardson
jr., and Commodores John E Glncke', of
the Centennial COMMITTEES: Frank Frey
Charles r. c. C1app R. Matthias, Henry
Tracy, and Roliin Potter. Such a meet
had been arranged for in connection with
the expected centennial. and the asso-
citation has decided that instead of
changing or abandoning the plans til Y
would be enlarged and broadened. and
all the force CT the United Yachtsmen of
the city put behind them.
President Richardson said as a KEY
note: I Will give the largest prize ever
offered, and the reputation Of the pre- 81
dent is ample guarantee that his word
viii be made good. He is one OF veal hi
est citizens of Toledo and amply able to
fulfill his promise
Plans have been adopted for a new s10.-
600 yacht clubhouse to be erected On a
site provided by the city at Bay View
Park. A special meeting of city yachts
men has been called for Friday even
ing to consider plans for the big regatta.
The Toledo Yachting Association is very
strong in numbers and in point of We It'll
and Commodore Richardson is worth half
million or more.

A fairly deceptive note printed on two
pieces OF paper between which red and
blue silk fibre has been distributed The
portrait of Onepapa is much lighter than

the outline Of the nose is indistinct, and
there are two prominent black lines ex-
tending downward from the middle of the
nose. The blue denominational figures

The Treasury numbers are paler blue

horizontally. Back of the counterfeit is
darker than the genuine, most detail is
lost in shaded portions OF the large scroll

tinuations of scroll right and left of cen
