METHODS OF LONDON FIRM
Testimony Shows That Americans Are
systematically Robbed by English
Tradespeople.

LONDON, May 12-No more interest
ing expose of the methods by which
the rich Americans are duped by un-
scrupulous art dealers has been reveal
ed than IN the proceedings held before
Justice Lord Lawrence, in the Kings
bench division.
Before a crowded court room interest
ing and highly illuminating details were
given of the efforts of David Rothschild.
an art dealer Of Charles street 5. w.
TO sell Constable's painting. "Dedham
Lock" TO Charles NJ. Schwab, the
American steel magnate, for $4,000. att
er first buying It from an English "a n
ily for S4.25O. The testimony brought
out the amazing fact that the art deal
er. with the utmost efrOntery. had ex-
torted a profit Of $4,000 from the Amer
lean. Rothschild claims damages Tor
breach of contract. alleging that Mr..
Schwab agreed TO purchase the picture
for $4,000
Testimony was given by Max Roth
schild, a son Of the plaintiff. who justl-
fed the entire transaction on the ground
that it was a trade bluff
rs this your usual way of conducting
business" Mr. ROthschild was asked on
cross-examination.
Not necessarily"
Does 1t depend upon whether the
man is a millionaire with whom you
are dealing?'
NO; we do not very often do this
sort of thing. but I think one has a.
ways TO resort to a certain amount II

Did you tell Mr.. Schwab. after st
buying the painting for g, $50. thar YOU
had induced the owner TO fix the p-fce
at S20,c00?''
Yonng Rothschild blushed hotly, and
replied: I'VE wrote such a letter"
The letter. as read in court. was as
-.loVs:
have induced myself to fix the price
a $4,000 As I am in want Of money it
s possible that l might make the
amount little less If I went to myself
and told myself that had received a
firm offer"
Mr.. Isaacs. for Mr.. Schwab. submitted
that there was no case to the jury on
thc 5round that there was not sufficient
memorandum of the contract. and that

a second trip at las with a larger del
egation than went on the morning trip.
Between 5000 and 1000 persons at
tended the bake.
Outsiders Barred at Both Resorts.
Both organizations obtained the ex-
elusive use Of the respective resorts
for the day. There was a band accom-
panying the business men. but the
lawyers had no intention of being out
done in the musical line. They were
prepared with a souvenir song book
containing PAROLES on many Of the
popular songs, with good-natured jests
on members Of the profession.

PRICE ON HEAD OF MOSQUITO
New Orleans Board of Health Offers
 $5 Reward for Capture.

New Orleans, March S.-Five dol lars. reward for the capture, dead or alive, of the first stegcmyia mosquito found lurking, with felonious intent, within the confines of the city has been offered by the board of health. To the second person bringing a specimen of the insect which is held responsible for the yellow fever epi- denies the board will pay S3 and to the third S2. The mosquitoes, it is alleged, hibernate in warm corners Of the houses during the winter and in the spring will renew their per nicious activity. Hence the board wants to learn if any really are alive in the city and to take means to erad- icate all those remaining before the breeding season begins.

uosyllest Building Tn the Country.

Which is the costliest building ill America! Would you answer offhand the New York state capitol at Albany; Hardly. Your thoughts would turn more likely to the national capitol at Washington or to the Congressional li- brary. But the New York state capitol cost more than the national capitol and the library of congress together The Empire State capitol cost $24,- 900, GOO, while the one at Washington, two acres larger, cost only 2.000,0 ,0O0 and the Congressional library only ST. 100000. Our Empire State capitol cost as much as the nation paid for all Florida and the Philippines combined. -Gilson Willets ID Leslie's Weekly.
