PAINTED BY MAD ARTIST
Lawson Portrait by Mancini Is Declared
 a Masterpiece of Art :.

BOSTON, Mass, November B. Thomas w. Lawson has just received from Italy life-size portrait o him self painted by the mad Italian artist, Mancini. It is framed in carved teak wood, the frame being foot de,rp and richly gilded, the whole frame costing $6,000. The work is a masterpiece, and is painted in Mancini s wonderful style. MT. Lawson used two hours day for three weeks for the portrait. His agents searched the public museums to secure and borrow the draperies and s,lttings required by the artist.
 MT. Lawson's experience with the mad artist, who would be suddenly taken with fits of insanity when paint ing or when interrupted at his work, are something never to be forgotten, according to the fnancier. Mlncina works with two strange screens of strings between his fits of madness. The screens are arranged in a strange net work, the artist constantly changing them as his work progresses. Through one set he views his subject and through the other set, laid against the canvas, he paints his picture.
 MT. Lawson also has received enghty- two model busts of himself in gold, sil- yer and bronze replicas of one by Ben lieure, the great sculpture.

BIG INSURANCE MAY BE LOST
Poison Found in Stomach of Man Whs
 Carried $800,0o0.00 Policies.

KANSAS CITY, November That there was enough morphine poison to kill a man in the stomach of l.. H. Perkins of Lawrence, Kan, who died after falling from the roof of his home, was the statement tonight of Dr. Wal ter M. Crose, city chemist, member of the expert commission appointed by the federal court at Topeka to ascertain whether Perkins had taken poison.
 Dr. Cross received the stomach for analysis on Sept. IS, and he has been occupied in the work ever since.
 Perkins life was insured for $600,- 900, and some of the companies pro- tested the payment of their policies on the ground that Perkins had com mited suicide. At the hearing in the federal court evidence was introduced to prove that Perkins had purchased morphine the day of his death. It was also shown that he had corresponded with members of the faculty at Mich igan University to discover the effect of certain poisons on the human sys- tenn.
