Sir John Meredith was distressed to

He paused in the midst OF q seien-
tifc definition and looked up with lis
tening eyes. He had got into the way
of listening to the passing wheels.
Lady Cantourne sometimes called for
him ON her way to a festivity, but 1t
was not that.
The wheels he heard had stopped.

The son, like the father, was in Inn
maculate evening dress. There was
very subtle cynicism in the thought
of turning aside on such return as
this to dress--to tie careful white
tie and brush imperceptibly ruffied
hair.
There was little pause, and the
two tall men stood, half bowling, with
marvellous similarity Of attitude, gaz-

of the plateau. After a shOre silence
two answering reports rose through
the mist to his straining ears.
He turned and found Victor Durnovo

close upon hundred individuals sporting the
title of haronet without any vestge Of right and
who have induced society to accept their preten-
sions by mere impudence and wealth, It virtually
admits that there no legal means in existence
10 prevent impostures of this kind.
The committee recommends that no person who Is
not the official roll of haronets should be
ceived AT court a baronet or be mentioned by
that title in any official document. But this IS
opening an already open door. since the particular
recommendation of the committee has all along
been in practice.
The committee also urges that the Home De-
partmNnt there should be kept official roll Of
baronets, 10 be prepared in consultation with the
heraldic offices, regards those barOnetcies over
which office has heraldc jurisdiction, and that
the roll should he published annually in the London,
Edinburgh and Dublin "Gazettes." Any per
son whose name is not this roll, but who thinks
he is entitled be enrolled, should be at liberty TO
petition the King. through the Secretary of State
for the Home Department. In cases where the
Home Secretary finds n difficulty in advising the
sovereign. the petition for enrolment as naronet
should he referred 10 the Attorney General TO the
Lord Advocate of Scotland. 70 the Attorney Gen
eral for Ireland according the heraldic iurisdc
ton under which the claim falls. and when these
legal officials advise that such reference is neces-
gary or desirable, il is recommended that the King
should refer the question tn committee of the
Privy Council for consideration.
The report of Lord Pembroke's committee fur
ther deprecates rigid enforcement of the rule
requiring proofs of the title the ground that
many genuine baronetcies would not survive such
ordeal This is also q somewhat unsatisfactory
recommendation For, whereas, in France and
other Continental countries, state and family
archives have destroyed and lost in the course
Of the various revolutions and wars that have
swept the mainland of Europe during the last
two hundred years or more. England has been
singulary from troubles of this kind, and fam
lily archives extending back the Norman Con-
quest corroborated by the immense collection
of records in the possession of the state, among
them the Doomsday Book. compiled in the reign
of William the Conqueror. There is no reason,
therefore. whatsoever why a British baronetcy-an
order which came into existence about three CEN
turtles ago-should not be capable of authentic
documentary proof.

vention at Carnegie Hall a few days ago-in

1t has been known fo- a long time that oystermen
and other sophisticated people eschewed river
and bay oysters. that the fishermen of the neigh
borhood had depored the lost opportunity for their
favorite pastime. and those who up a season OF
two ago sought refreshment warm days and
nights in a plunge in the waters of the Hudson

the outcome of which was some temporary better

its normal lethargic state In regard TO the water

PAINTINGS HELD UP.
Mrs. Cornelius VanderhHs Figures
Changed by Customs appraisers.

There has been much secrecy about some I'M
portatons of paintings made by Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt and entered at the New York Gus
tom House. Notwithstanding the silence main
taned by the customs officials and representa-
tives of the importer. it is known that when the
pictures were sent to the federal public stores
for examination and appraisal Colonel Edward
S. Fowler. the Appraiser of the Port. found
many of the entries seriously undervalued.
In several instances the invoiced prices of the
paintings were so far below the values deemed
correct by Customs Examiner Hecht that he re-
ported the fact to Deputy Appraiser Nathan, in
charge of the second. or fine arts, department.
After a conference Colonel Fowler advanced the
values on certain of the paintings more than 30
per cent, or with the accruing penalties 100 per
cent. In view of the fact that under the Ding
ley tariff advances of over 30 per cent consti-
tute a seizure the Vanderbilt pictures are being
detained at the Offices of the Board of United
States General Appraisers pending reappraise-
ment by Judge Byron S Waite, of the lower
customs tribunal
After the single general appraiser has rem
dered a decision the case will go before a sub
board OF three general appraisers for final ad-
judication. Should the decision of the sub
board affirm the advances made by Colonel
Fowler above the 30 per cent limit the paint
ings so advanced will be seized by the govern
ment and sold at public auction.
Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter, Miss
Gladys, returned recently from long absence
in Europe. While in Paris Mrs. Vanderbilt
purchased the pictures and shipped them to this
country ON her arrival here she was told OF
the controversy. The general opinion expressed
in customs circles yesterday was that the Paris
shipper of the paintings had blundered in setting
down values the invoices not representative
of the actual prices of the works. While there
was much sympathy for Mrs. Vanderbilt, Colo
mel Fowler felt Obliged to impose the heavy ad-
VanceS
Extraordinary efforts have been made 10 pre-
vent knowledge of the hold-up from becoming
public pressure in this direction being exerted
upon the Board of Appraisers The measures
taken to this end include the holding of secret
hearings and the non-publication in the official
reappraisenent lists of the ultimate decision.
In this connection il may he recalled that the
government has, In the newly negotiated COM
mercial treaty with Germany, specified that
open hearings shall be held unless the board
Certifies 10 the Secretary of the Treasury that
the public interests will suffer through pub
licity.
