isfled With Invoice Value.

NEW YORK, Aug. lO.-United States
may result in the coniscation of a
Gainesborough painting valued at $40.
600. The picture, "The Countess Of
Bristol ~ which depicts the head of tho
famous English beauty, was shipped
recently from London by Thomas Az
new Sons, English art dealers. The
importer is resident of Chicago whose
identity has not been divulged. The
painting was inyoiced as having a value
OF $l5,4IO. Appraiser Fowler had the
importation examined, and upon Ger.
tain information which came into his
possession, advanced the value to s2O.-
600. After he had made his return to
Collector Stranahan he learned from
London that the painting was worth at
least $50; 200. He then requested a re-
aPprnisoment before the Board Of
United States General Appraisers
The case came before Judge Somor-
vile Scott e. Fowles, art dealers here
the consigrees Of the picture, were
twice notified to appear before the gen.
eral appraisers to defend the suit, but
for some reason did not do so and were
not represented by counsel Acting on
the additional information obtained,
Judge Somerville today rendered a do.
clslon advancing the value of the por-
trait to $3o,0O0, or 100 per cent more
than the original invoice, AS the Gov
ernment 9 claim is so per cent, the
United States will take possession of
the painting and nold it for sale unless
q full board of the three general ap-
pralsers reduces the increase made by
Judge Somerville.
