GILBERT sTUARTs QUESTIONED
Two In the Metropolitan Museum May
Be Spurious.

PHILADELPHIA. August 19.-Accordtng
TO Charles Henry Hart. the well-known art
critic of this city. the Metropolitan Museum
OF Art OF New York. has picked two lemons
In the garden OF art by the purchase for
fabulous price Of two portraits supposedly
from the brush OF the greatest OF American
portrait painters. Gilbert Stuart The pic
lures are life-size portraits OF Don Josef de
Jaudenes. once the Spanish minister to the
United States. and Donna Matilde Stons-
hoton de Jaudenes. his wife. and were
painted In lT94
After examining the two pictures In the
Metropolitan Museum carefully. Mr. Hart.
who is an acknowledged authority on the
work or Gilbert Stuart, has pronounced
them spurious. In a letter to Sir Caspar
Purden Clarke. director OF the museum Mr.
Hart gave his opinion. supporting Il with
strong argument, and asking upon whose
Judgment the two portraits were purchased
as the work OF Gilbert Stuart
Sir Caspar was abroad when the letter
was received, but Mr.. Hart was Informed
By Edward Robinson. the assistant director
or the museum, that the portraits were
bought by the purchasing committee of
the trustees. to whose attention they were
hrst called by Roger E. Frye. the curator
OF paintings In the museum.
Sir Caspar Purden Clarke has lust re-
turned to New York. and IL 10 said .ensa-
uonai developments may be looked for fol-
lowing his investigation.

SHOT WHILE BERRYING.
One Man May Die-Police Let Com
panions Go and Now Suspect Them

NEW YORK August 19-David Roth
forty weight years old, of 81 Himrod street.
Brooklyn, a master builder, was shot in the
abdomen yesterday afternoon at Rosedale,
Queens borough. An operation was per-
formed by DR.. Noble and Dr. Kesselberry
at the Jamaica Hospital but there Is little
chance that Mr.. Roth will live. Henry
Brandt, thirty-five years old, of III Irving
avenue. Brooklyn, was shot at the same
time in the forefnger Of his left hand
There was but one report and 1t Is thought
the same bullet injured both men.
The police arrested an Italian named
Domonico de Staffanno of 612 Carroll street
Brooklyn, but as 1t was evident to the po-
lice that he did not shoot the men he was
held merely for carrying pistol. 1t shoots
small shot instead Of a bullet.
Roth and Brandt were members of q party
OF six men and boy who had been out
gathering elderberries. They had a horse
and wagon and were near the Rosedale
school when the shooting occurred Henry
Haft OF 200 Hancock street. Brooklyn, q
member of the party and son-in-law of Mr..
Roth. says he heard a shot, but doesn't
know who fired It.
Mounted Sergt. Wicks was on the Foster
Meadow road within 300 feet Of the spot
where the men were. He reached there
Just before Patrolman Fanster. who ap-
preached on foot from another direction,
did. Wicks from his elevation on his horse
saw a man running at little distance and
gave chase. He covered fully half a mile
before coming up with the italian, who had
run against a wire fence. cutting his neck
badly. He had the scatter shot revolver,
but no weapon Of .3S caliber. That was the
size of the bullet which was extracted later
from Mr. Roth's body. Dr. Gardner of the
Jamaica Hospital took the injured man
there in an ambulance
Acting Capt Carnan of the seventy
eighth precinct after personal investiga-
tion said he thought the shooting might
have been done. accidentally probably. by
one OF Roth's party, as he had learned that
one OF them had a revolver with him. He
sent men out to find this man and others
The unintured returned to Brooklyn when
the wounded were taken away, and the DO
lice. thinking they had the shooter In the
person of the Italian, did not detain them.

Oldest Woman In New England Re
ceives Descendants Today

WORCESTER. Mass. August 19-Mrs
Johanna Flagg Harper. the Oldest woma n
in New England today celebrates her 1O5th
birthday by reception at the home OF her
grandson. Franklin Young. at SO Lake
street. Nearly ninety descendants are at
tending the reception. which will be short
because Mrs. Harper does not think she
can stand the strain of a protracted social
affair
Mrs. Harper was born in Montreal and
lived there until she was twenty-one years
old. when her parents came to Worcester
They came overland by team and horse
back and were a month making the trip.
Her parents were the first French people
to settle In central Massachusetts. At that
time there were only two stores and seven
houses in Worcester.
Mrs. Harper is at the head of five genera
tions. hut only two OF her children are liv-
ing. She rises early in the morning reads
the newspapers and spends much OF her
time sewing. Her eyesight Is particularly
good and she has to wear glasses only a
part of each day.

Wouldn't Give Up Religion.

NEW YORK. August 19.-The little ro-

who lives with Helen and her brother at

ago Antoine sent for his sister Helen, who

attracted Ballog, who went to live with her
brother and his family. There seemed to
be no objection to their marriage until it
was remembered that Ballog was a Protes-
tant. The girl was true to her religion and
refused to marry him.
Ballog said he could not live without the
girl and threatened to kill her. but the
matter was dropped until last night when
il was brought up by Ballog at the supper
table. Helen's sister-in-law was in another
room and Antoine was out. When he asked
her again to marry him Helen rose from

There was an italian celebration in the

GEORGIA SOLONS ADJOURN
HoKE SMITH NEARLY PRoVoKES
RIOT IN LEGISLATURE.
Governor Takes His Stand in Lobby
and Exerts Himself to Put
Through Pet Measure.

ATLANTA. August 19.-The general as
sembly Of Georgia adjourned at O'Clock
yesterday morning almost in a riot after
being in continuous session nearly twenty
hours The trouble was due to the hard
fight Gov. Hoke Smith made to put through
measures which he had promised the peo-
pie in his campaign last year and to the
presence of the governor In the lobby In the
interest OF his measures.
The hardest fight was over the bill in
creasing the powers OF the railroad COM
mission and giving the governor the right
to appoint two more commissioners. thus
making It's membership five instead of
three. At present the commission Is hostile
to Gov Smith He has only one man on 1t,
but he will control It under the measure
which he forced through This five-member
bill provoked the riot. The house indorsed
II, but II was defeated in the senate at
o'clock in the morning. Friends of the bill
moved reconsideration and Gov. Smith got
80 busy with certain senators that recon-
sideration was ordered. and the bill was
saved by vote OF % to 21
Governor Denounced.
Then the storm broke. and senators began
to denounce the governor for lobbying. At
lacking Gov. smith, Senator Hayes said:
II have seen members who are against
this increase buttonholed and toe-trodden
around this building all night. 1t Is dis
grace to the State.'
Senator Flynt said: III railroads had done
what has been done on this floor within the
last few minutes a cry would have gone up
which would have been undying. This vote
shows that senators who ten minutes ago
voted against the increase have been
changed ! would resign my seat In the
senate before I would be be whipped into
line by the lash OF the governor.
Senator Hayes Indignant.
Senator Hayes was especially bitter. He
said: I'm the years l have served the state
as a legislator l have not seen the agents
of railroad or any other corporation act
as l have seen the agents of the governor
act In this capitol tonight, and l wish to
say that were l governor of Georgia and
had I preached against lobbyists on every
hilltop in the state I would not be the first
to deserve the name"
Gov. Smith secured the passage of only
two OF his reform measures. the dsfran-
chLsement bill and the bill strengthening
the railroad commission. The prohibition
bill which was passed was not one of the
governors measures The governor failed
to secure bills against lobbyists and free
passes. Anti-lobbying and anti-pass bills
passed both houses but failed because the
house and senate could not agree. The gov
ernor also failed to get through his bill
putting an income tax OF per cent on the
gross receipts of railroads and other public
service corporations.
