MR.. i. p. MORGAN CANNOT
BRING HIS TREASURES HOME
Millions Worth Of Art Objects Detained in Europe by the
Tarif-Houdon's Two B uss Of "The Given Kiss
1.-THE Bought kiss

The enthusiastic lover Of the artistic
relics of a glorious past is beginning to
see that Mr.. Pierpont Morgan has become
a very real danger to the old world. It
has long been known that this king Of
finance has for years been spending gigans
tic sums in acquiring priceless works OF
art Of all countries and periods; but while
he generously made the public share in
his treasures by distributing them on loan
among the public galleries of Europe. from
far Athens to Glasgow in the north, he
appeared rather in the light Of public
benefactor than as modern Napoleon
despoiling conquered countries Of their
most cherished possessions.
Yet Napoleon's italian booty, taken by,
force of arms, can scarcely compare in
magnitude with the spoil Of Mr.. Pierpont
NIorgan's millions.
A list of only the most important Of his
acquisitions will show the magnitude Of his
operations, which result in wholesale ex-
odus of works Of art from their ancient

At present Mr.. Pierpont Morgan is In the
curious position OF being the owner OF
some Of the finest art treasures In the
world, without being able to take them
home,
During the last twelve years he has
spent two millions Of money upon rare
tapestries, old masters, and statuary of
immense value. and it was his intention
to fill his private museum at New York
with these spoils from all Europes most
famous collections.
But when he wished to remove his treas
ures he found that the United States
revenue authorities would impose such
heavy duties that untold thousands would
be required to get them past the custom
houses.
His wonderful collection, therefore, re-
mains stored away In this country, and
seems likely to do 50 for some time to
come, tho without doubt In the end it will
certainly leave these shores never to re-
turn

+ Phenacetin costs at wholesale about 81
an ounce Acetanilid costs 21k cents an
ounce. Phenacetin is a proprietary COM
pound which may be safely taken in large
quantities. Acetanilid, even in small
quantities, may prove dangerous. On
German phenacetin, at the usual retail
rates, a druggist may make a profit of
something like 200 per cent. If he sub
stitutes acetanilid for it his profit runs
up, to 5000 per cent-more than any get
rich-quick syndicate ever dreamed of in
it's rosiest prospectus. And when the ace
tanilid is itself adulterated with starch
the profit becomes even greater.
"One would think said Dr. Deghuee,
that the average druggist would be sat
isfied with his normal profits, which are
always enormous, particularly, Of course,
in the prescriptions which he compounds.
The druggist frankly admits that his profit
on drugs is enormous, but he argues that
he Is not charging for the mere chemi-
cal alone, but for the years of training,
the knowledge, the skill which he has
acquired. And that is all very WE'LL but
in compound like phenacetin there is no
question Of skill, If he is honest and salts
fled with making his little 200 per cent
He simply measures out so much of
compound which Is prepared in Germany,
sent over in sealed packages, and so
thoroly protected by patents that he can't
compound it himself even if he knows
how, which he probably does, for it is
very simple matter. The skill required in
selling phenacetin is about that Of an
average department store or grocery clerk
81 ..It is because 1t is a patent medicine
that the department has been unable to
fix the blame for the adulterated article
SO commonly sold. Many Of the druggists
who sold it appear to have bought it in
good faith as the genuine article. They
have showed us packages, in the original
wrappers, with seals unbroken, which
were clever enough forgeries to have de-
ceived any one. The druggists admit
that they bought them cheap from ir-
responsible parties, believing them to be
Struggled "A good deal of real phenace-
tin is smuggled, because it is much more
thoroughly protected by its patents here
than it is on the continent or in Great
Britain. Consequently 1t is to be had
much cheaper there than here-the genu-
Inc article, mean, put up by the original
firm. A god deal of 1t comes over from
Canada, evading the customs. or
course it is unlawful to sell 1t here but
it is not the Board Of Health's business
that the druggists sell Struggled goods,
while it is distinctly its business If they
sell impure drugs. =
Having proved beyond peradventure
that they did sell impure phenacetin. at
least DR.. Deghuee set himself to finding
out whether they sold other adulterated
drugs. He examined lis samples sof

There was session of the senate on the

and precipitated quite debate
In the senate on the 18th a lively debate
occurred over the Vest resolution requiring
the committee on finance to report a bill
removing the duty on coal, but no action
was taken...ln the house the diploma tic
and consular appropriation bill was re-
ported and a resolution was adopted au-
thorlzlng an investigation of the coal situ-
alton. Adjournment was then taken out
OF respect to the memory of the late Repre-
sentative Tongue, of Oregon.

on the 18th to remove duty on coal Senator

Vest Resolution.

Washington, Jan. 14.-When the
house met Tuesday, on motion of
Mr.. Cushman (Wash.), the bill pro-
viding for a delegate in congress
from Alaska was made a continuing
order, beginning on Wednesday, Jan
uary 21.
The house then went into commit
tee of the whole and took up the con-
sideration of the army appropriation
bill. The bill carried 73,S75,276, be-
ing $4,613,O65 less than the current
law. Mr.. Hull Qa.), in charge of the
measure, devoted some time to the
discussion of the army transport
service, arguing that the present
service on the Pacific, organized since
the Spanish war, was the best in the
world.
Washington, Jan. 14.-Soon after
the senate met Tuesday, Senator
Jones (Nev.) favorably reported the
resolution of Senator Stewart, au-
thorizing the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia to send for wit
nesses in connection with the coal
investigation, to administer oaths
and to compel the attendance of wit

This action was taken at the instance
of the beet sugar men. -.
The committee voted down motion
made by Senator Bacon to strike out
article 6 of the treaty exempting
American tobacco from the preferen-
tial rates given by Cuba to American
articles.
It is claimed that the adoption of
the amendment relative to the reduc-
tion on sugar will have the effect of in
suring the support of practically all
the republican senator's. The refusal
to strike out the provision regarding
tobacco was because of the plea on the
part of the Cubans that under it
American tobacco might be shipped to
Cuba and then exported from that is
land as Cuban tobacco. If Senator Ba-
cons pending amendment, placing the
Cuban treaty on the same basis as
other reciprocity treaties with refer
ence to the house of representatives
should be adopted the treaty would
not become effective until it sho hould be
acted upon by the house.
Senator Bacon was speaking in sup
port of this amendm ent when the COM
mittee adjourned. There will be an

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 15.-After
much investigation for a number of

Chicago, Jan. 15.-It was the pre-
vailing opinion at the criminal court
building Wednesday that seven in
