NEW YORK. May 2s.--1he fed
eral grand jury's investigation of +.
Augustus Heinz's affairs in connection
with the alleged misapplication OF
the funds OF the Mercantile National
Bank took sensational turn today
when United states District Attorney
Wise applied TO and obtained from
Federal Judge Lacombe an order di-
recting certain directors OF the Uni
ted Copper Company to produce the
full and complete books Of that con-
Germ in court forthwith, or be de-
clared In contempt.
The directors named. Sanford Rob
inson. Chester Glass. William ]. Curtis
and Horace Abel. reported to the
court at four O'Clock this afternoon.
the time set by Judge Lacombe that
they were unable to comply with the
courts order because Mr.. Heinz. the
president of the United Copper Com
pany, refused to give them the books
or tell where they were. giving as his
reason that he was under indictment
and further investigation. They also
reported that they were helpless for
the moment. but would make every
effort to get into the company's vaults
and search for the books there, il
given time.
Will Depose Heinz.
The directors further told the court
that they had called a special meet

Judge Iacombe declared that under
the circumstances he would be lenient
and give the directors further time
to- recover the books. He fixed Tues
day afternoon as the time for them
to report in court again. and added:
The court appreciates the honest ef-
forts Of the directors to get out OF

getting associated with a man who IS
too terrified to allow his books TO be

dainl ] Of fame, keeping himself to himself,
havir no traffic with the organizers of miscel-
laneoi s exhibitions, and frigidly declining to
give any aid comfort to the would-be bloG-
rapher He was born in 1884. Most of his long
life has been spent in a sort of retirement. He
is known in the great world of Paris a fas-
tfdious and witty parsonage, but his studio IS
sealed to all save a chosen few, and at all times
he is a man Of reserve 1t is said that he was
scandaIizcd by Whistler's militant and even
noisy way in society. warning his friend on one
occasion that if he was not more judici0us he
would be suspected of possessing no talent
Deeas has sharp tongue and is known TO have
used it without mercy, but he has never cared
to be quoted, he has hated publicity The cur
rent number of "BArt ct le Beau is devoted en-
tirely to his work, and the threescore reproduc-
tions in it are accompanied by observations from
the pen of M Georges Grape. This writer
does his best to paint portrait OF his hero. but
he can tell us practically nothing of Degas the
man 1t is only with Degas the artist that il is
possible to deal This Is, perhaps as il should
be. There never was an artist whose genius
was more purely and simply artistic, thing ex-
listing apart from ordinary personal consdera-
tiOns.
From tn" beginning Degas appears to have
made a kind of passionless effort to get at the
essentials Of great technique, to have cared
wholly for the truth and the right manner of
recording it His earliest experiences as
painter embraced the making OF copies after
divers old masters, Ghirlandajo, Holbein and
Lawrence among them. 1t is to be presumed
that his excursions into the past stirred his emo
tions, but in so far as we may trust to the evil
dence Of his work his imagination suffered no
expansion. We know that young man he
sat at the feet Of Ingre5 and that he has ever
since cherished profound loyalty for that mas
ter, but one has heard of his having been fired
TO emulate the great classicist in MS choice of
subjects What he has worshipped in InSres has
been the latter's consummate craftsmanship
Back in the sixties he made a visit to this
try Nothing that going here in that
momentous period, nothing in public affairs or
in our social life, made the least appeal to him.
The only souvenir that we have Of his stay in
the South is a picture or Il cotton exchange at
New Orleans. in which his sole object is to make
a study of whites under strong light. He is
called Imprcssionist, and the title is justly

dramatic implications. Is a race being run?
Degas does not care two straws which horse
may win il or what the emotions of the spectl-
tors may be. He cares to arrest the charm OF
movement among the animals that pass before
him. to paint the play of light to make por-
trait of nature with thought of any human
interest. Look at lie champ de courses" in the
Durand- RueI exhibition. and then recall such
picture as Frith's Derby Day" The latter is
verbose anecdote. Degas gives you a work of
art How does he do 1t? In the first place by
giving you the truth, the thing he saw il.
and then by generously throwing in beautiful
and individualized craftsmanship and color
transfgured by light. Above all he triumphs by
virtue of exercising the indefinabIe power OF
style.
There is a curious instance Of this power OF
his IN certain ~Interieur" painted in the 70's
and reproduced by NJ Grape. 1t stands for
rare lapse into the dramatic anecdOte, a rare
concern for the poignantly human theme The
story grim one, is touchingly told. But it is
amusing to note how little cares for the
story compared with ones feeling for the tech
nique disclosed even in the small black and
white reproduction of this picture From a
knowledge of the way in which DcGas paints

one may divine the superb execution in this, and
especially the presence. in every passage, of a

from 1873. There you see the disciple of IngreS.
the man whose drawing is so strong, SO beautiful
and so persOnalized that just by itself it is a
sheer joy. 1t would be greater art, no doubt,
if it were enriched by imagination. Compare

bestowed, for he has attacked his problems OF
movement and illumination from much the same
point Of view as that shared by Manet Monet
and the rest He shrank, they shrank. alike
from the inlnotiIity and conventionaiity of the
academy and the emotional habit of the ro-
mantle school He as keen as Manet on
the direct use of pure color and as enthusiastic
as Monet for preserving the aspect of things
appealing simply and solely to the eye through
light and atmosphere. Moreover, he was quite
willing to throw il his lot with his comrades OF
the cafe Guerbois in those old days which wit
messed the bitter struggle of the Impressionists'
of Whistler, of Fantin-LatOur and of other
painters since renowned, to win recognition from
the Partisan public. He contributed to one OF

them, he is fond of the petit fait, the common

an odd paradox, this absolutely detached OBJ

The ROAD COULD
EASILY BE MADE

ID. 7. Clark. who started Sunday
morning for a scout trip between
this city and Delta returned home
iast night more than pleased with his
ZIP over the road between this city
and Delta and Hotchkiss.
Mr.. Clark was accompanied by
william. Muir. proprietor of the Buick
automobile works and Thomas Van
Buren. well known automobile me-
chaDican.
The trip 10 Delta and from there
10 Hotchkiss was made by Mr.. Clark
without ever leaving his auto, so
that there cannot be very great diff
culties in the way of travelling by
auto between this city and Delta and
up the North Fork country
Mr.. Clark says that there are a
considerable number of boulders in
the road and two small hills would
have to be pared down n little with
scraper, but beyond this there are
no difficulties which could be counted
OF any great extent whatever He
says that team with four men,
scrapers and six days of time would
do all the work necessary between
here and the county line between
Delta and Mesa counties.
On the other side of the county
line the road is worse than 1T is on
this side. He estimated that four or

A call was made upon the commits
-Sioners of Delta and Mr.. George A.

that he would do all in his power to
cooperate with the Mesa county Of
ficials for the working of the road.
Mr.. Clark stated that work would be-
gin today on the Delta side, SO that
it was up to the board of commission
ers of this county to do their share.
which they have promised to do.
Last night in coming home Mr..
Clark made record run with his
big Apperson. He left Delta. from
the Delta house and time was kept
by Mr.. Van Buren and the run was
made to this city in the exceptionally
excellent time of hours and SO
minutes. 1t is 50 miles to Delta and
1t is unnecessary to state that this
was record breaking time considering
the conditions of the roads at pres |
ent Mr.. Clark and also Messrs. Van |
Buren, and Muir were more than
pleased. The time made was to the
Grand river bridge.
