American fire insurance companies which are

THE KAyN ART COLLECTION
The family council of the heirs of the late
Rodolph Kann, whose superb art collection in
value estimated at S5000OO0 was recently re-
ported the object of negotiations for purchase
by the Metropolitan Museum, in New York, was
held yesterday at the residence of Maurice Kann
at No. 40 Avenue Jena with administrators of
the estate of his late brother Rodolph whose
art collection is in a large muse,nalike mansion
next door. especially built for him, at No. 81
Avenue Jena. Maurice Kann informed me to-
day that up TO the present no offer whatever had
been made directly by the Metropolitan Museum
for the purchase Of the collection. The heirs if
they eventually decide to SELL prefer the collec-
tion should remain intact and the masterpieces
should not be dispersed Consequently an offer
for the whole collection in one block would re-
ceive preference. ]. Pierpont Morgan is ex-
pected to arrive in Paris from Aix-les- Bains
before June l. He and Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke
are familiar with the collection and consider it's
acquisition would be a splendid thing for the
Metropolitan Museum. No negotiations have yet
been entered upon.
