THINKS PANELS GENUINE.
Sir Purdon Clarke Discusses Recently
Purchased Bramantinos.

A cable from London last night says: In
an interview regarding the controversy on
the subject of the authenticity of the Bra
mantino panels purchased for the Metro
pIitan Museum of Art in New York by Sir
Caspar Purdon Clarke, the new director,
the director said:
II have no fault to find with the original
article or the probable author Of the Bra
mantinos for Bramantinos we must call
them until another name is found. You
cannot set aside local traditions which come
down through centuries until some evidence
is brought forward to disprove the story.
But 1 do object to articles more recently
published In America, there is nothing
in the original article to Justify the use of
such words in this connection as spurious,
bogus and forgeries.'
IF the original critic is right the pictures
are more valuable historically and CONNER
cialy than we imagined. There is no Ques-
ton of their artistic value. They do not
require the protection Of great name to
command admiration. There Is no doubt
they We're removed from the frieZe under
the ceiling in the salon of the Castle of San
Martini di GonZaga, near Mantua, In 1857,
and We're asked for and exhibited at a spe-
cial exhibition of the old masters In 1884.
l regard the purchase as being one of the
best pieces of good fortune. and only re-
greet my inability to secure the whole lot
for the Metropolitan"
Besides the dozen panels purchased by
Sir Purdon Clarke, an American has pur-
chased six.
Sir Purdon expects to sail for America on
October Is.

LAWSON SPRINGS A SURPRISE.
Accuses Man of Responsibility Of
Murder

A dispatch from Boston last night says:
In the supreme court here today Judge Nor
ton denied an injunction sought by Louis n.
Rain of UriQue Mexico, against Thomas
w. Lawson of this city, in suit involving
s3,15O,GO0. The court devoted the entire day
to the case. Among the witnesses was Mr..
Lawson. and his testimony at one stage was
of an unexpected nature. He caused a stir
in the court room by making the allegation
that Mr.. Rain was responsible for the death
of Superintendent Gilbert Johnson, who was
fatally stabbed at the Lawson company
mines in Mexico last July. Mr.. Lawson
qualified his statement by saying he did not
charge Rain with the actual murder but
claimed that he stood by and did not lift
hand in Johnson's defense.
While the plaintiff the witness
stand the defendants attorney asked Mr.
Lawson if he was not mining expert. The
witness declared that he was not, and that
in fact he had never seen mine.
Rain, who was seeking to have Lawson
held to a specific performance of contracts
for the formation, financing and issuance Of
stock of the Lawson Company of Mexico
sought temporary injunction to restrain
Lawson from disposing of the machinery
and property of the company at its silver
and gold mines at UriQue, and also from
diSposing of it's stock. His claim was that
Lawson had not kept his part of the agree
ment to furnish $16.500 to finance the con-
Germ and to issue 1850 of its shares to the
plaintiff and 22,5OO to Lawson and place
them in a safe deposit vault. there to stay
for ten years.
Lawson claimed that the breach of the
agreement was on the side of Rain, because
the options transferred under the agree
ment did not include full and complete title
to the mines.
In addition Mr. Lawson claimed to have
advanced cash and had assumed obligations
on account of the venture In excess of the
$1,000 called for by the contract
Counsel for Mr.. Lawson, before the taking
of testimony, said there was no desire on
the part of the defendant to make any dis
position of the stock of the Lawson COM
pany, and that stipulation to that effect
would be filed by them for Mr.. Lawson.
Court then announced that it would de-
cline to issue the injunction asked for by
Rain.

she wishes to retire, but the New York
bankers will not allow her to do so.

River Business Has Been Grip
pied 10 Large Extent
LUMBER SHIPMENTS TIED UP
OWING TO LABOR TROUBLES
NEWS OF THE RIVERS.

The big strike of the transfers in
Chicago. which now threatens to EN-
broil in the same trouble all the
drivers in the city of New York. Is
known 10 be far reaching In its eff.
fleets, but the fact that il causes a loss
of considerable money TO the city of
Cairo through the river traffic is not
generally understood.
That such is the case is proven by
the statements Of captains of many
boats plying in the wood and lumber
trade, who say that ever since the
strike was inaugurated each day has
seen decrease in their business until
now 1t is Stacker than IL has been the
same time of year for many years
past The loss to this city arises from
the fact that no shipments OF wood
will be made by companies operating
n Chicago and having branches or
works ON the Mississippi or Tennessee
river, or by companies which ship to
big wood working or selling concerns
IN Chicago, firms in that city not be.
Ing able to have the wood or lumber
handled as it should be,
Even now in the Windy City" there
are thousands and even millions Of
feet Of lumber which cannot be moved
or sent to its destination because of a
lack of teamsters and wagons with
which to transfer it. Lumber yards
are stacked to the limit and a state
nent has gone forth from most com
oanies that not another inch will be
received until some plan is discovered
whereby that already accumulated
may be removed and got out Of the
way
All river men running or interested
in the wood traffic boats are anxiously
awaiting a settlement of the troubles
so that they may resume the norman
amount of work necessary to keep
their boats in business, and the news
of the end of the strike win probably
be as agreeably received by them ag
by any OF the big concerns it more d.
rectly affects.
