This mystery is largely due to the secrecy which
the custodians of the victimized institutions in

to the point of denying that it has been COM

Why They Keep 1t Quiet
THERE are several reasons that promp

tors of these public institutions to refrain from
speaking writing about the matter. In the first
place the very fact that such robberes should be pos
sble appears to them and to the people large as
reflection upon the character of their management
since custodian who allows thief to get away
with valuabes is manifestly at fault. Then, too
they take the ground that publicity in these ques
tons is calculated to create doubts regarding the
honesty of members of their staff, since such eab-
crate measures adopted for the protection of
the collections that at first sight it incredible
that any robbery could be accomplished from the
outside without the completely of some one within.
Still another consideration is the circumstance that
have been lent by citizens who would naturally in
sst upon resuming possession of their treasures if
they entertained any doubt as to their safety while
on loan These are perhaps the principal incentives
to impenetrabe secrecy and silence of directors of

Even the most accomplished ConnOlsseur, when

In this connection may mention that Sir CaSpar
Purdon Clarke, while he refuses to express himself
upon the subject of museum robberies, is having
every article exhibition at the Metropolitan Mu
scum of Art, New York, separately photographed,
with the object of helping the police and connos-

What Becomes Of the Loot

V1HAT becomes of them? Sometimes they turn up
years afterward in other European American
museums, having meanwhile passed through many
hands. This is, however quite rare Sometimes
they are lost to view private collections which are
daily increasing in number and often equal value

An instance in point is that of |. Pierpont Morgan
whose collection of art subjects represents millions
upon millions of dollars Mr.. Morgan brought the
now celebrated Ascot cope in good faith paid
large sum for it in ignorance of the that had
placed it on the market, and inasnuch its former
custodians had every inducement to prevent the

South kensngton Museum, where it was recognized
by connoisseur of textile art who had seen it at

similar character took place at the London Munich

OF course the refusal of
managers to furnish any in
formation to the public con-
corning these thefts. and in
many instances even to admit
that anything has been stolen,
tends to facilitate the disposal
and conversion into cash of
loot thus obtained. There are
