from Newport and dropped anchor in the
North River near Seventy-ninth street.
The primary object of the visit Of the battle

who have broken records in target practice,
a chance to have shore leave. They have
hardly had a taste of liberty since they went
down to Guantalamo last February.
Naturally there was much talk among
the sailors IND marines about the accident
on the Georgia on July Is, when a charge of
powder ignited in the superimposed eight
inch gun turret aft. killing or iniuring
twenty-one men. One marine told the re-
porters that the explosion had been caused
by a lighted cigarette stub that had been
left in the turret. The officers who werp
told about this characterized the theory
as foolish.
Capt. Henry McCrea of the Georgia said
that there was no truth in the rumor that
there was something wrong the smoke
less powder used on the battleships. Tho
accident was caused by a bareback. and
although the Georgia was equipped with
n device for preventing just what had oc-
cured the device failed this time.

4 TALE or DOUBTFUL ART
AbeIardo Cassi's Treasures Not Genuine,
Appraisers Say.

Abelardo Cassi had to be in pretty bad
need Of money TO make him offer for sale
the seven oil paintings which he still thinks
are by old masters and which ave been
in his family for years. He would never
have done il but for the prolonged illness
of his son, Verucci In that case the matter
would never have come TO the ears OF the
customs officials and yesterdays visit TO
Cassi'e room on the third foor OF 500 West
Broadway by three men who let IL be Under
stood that they were art connoisseurs
would not have beer made One Of the
men was the painting expert Of the APP
p~raisers' office, an ther was from the law
division Of the Custom Hous and The
third was a customs inspector
When they left they were convinced
that the pictures which had been treasured
by the Cassis for 80 many yeats we're not
originals and that no crime had been com
mitted in bringing them into the country
without the payment Of duty There was
no question about the great age Of the
pictures, though. they said
When a reporter called there later in the
day Cassi was still in ignorance that the
paintings which we're TO furnish him with
means in his distress were probably of
comparatively small value and not by
Titan, Correggio. Tintoretto. Cimabue
and Nasaccio.
When he finds out he will he hard put to
know where TO turn for money TO support his
wife and their three children, because neither
he nor his wife ever have done any work
and Cassi ia delicate. In Italy they were
able to live on the little money left from
the family's former large fortune and on
what the husband got for service in the
Italian army. Last year his term expired
and he determined to come TO America.
So they packed up all their belongings.
including the beloved pictures. and sailed.
In this country they were able to manage
on what their son. Verucci. earned.
Neither MIR. nor Mrs. Cassi can speak
English very well. but they explained that
affect their sons head and he had to go TO
the Manhattan State Hospital for the Insane.
He is Is. The two other Cassi children, a
girl and a boy, are much younger.
The pictures. which all are hanging on
the walls of the family's one room. were
carefully covered with lace curtains yester-
day. Mrs. Cassi removed the covers and
then began to describe the pictures with
enthusiasm. When they were in Turin.
she said. they received an offer of 10000
francs for the Titan That was in the days
when they had plenty Of money. though.
and they never thought of accepting il.
MIR. Cassi made out the following list OF
the titles and painters Of the pictures:
Joseph Recognizing His Brothers,. Correg-
pio. $4,000: Death Of Abraham. Correggio;
Rebecca at the Well. Titan; Music. Tintoretto;
Hunting Tintoretto:T The Redeemer Masaccio;
The Holy Family. Cimabue
The last il painted on wood and Mrs.
Cassi told how she just saved il once as her
little daughter was preparing to wash IL oil.
II was said at the Custom house that il
the Titan an original it would be
worth at least 500, 600.

= The com mission, Of which ex-District
Attorney Philbin was chairman, examined
a number Of witnesses. The commission
reports tina Hess has the ability to advise
nationally with counsel and adds;
The only testimony in support Of the petit

exhibited marked taciturnity. Obstinacy and
a reluctance at times to hold conversations
with those about him. This. We hold. Ia not
due to mental arrangement. but Ia purely

The commission observed Hess from
the library in the District Attorneys office
for an hour one s~fternSon while he was taxi

peared before the commission n few moments
later he made q great fuss and II was decided
