WARNER RESOLUTION
BURIED BY SENATE
Missouri Senator Fails to
Get Call for Inquiry
Into Rates.

Senator Warner of missouri made q
vain effort this morning to get the SEN
ate to consider resolutiol which he in
troduced last week provid1 1ig for an in
vestigation by the Intersce.te Commerce
Commission into the reasonableness or
the rates ESw being charged by the rail-
roads in interstate business in Missouri.
and in the States contiguous thereto.
The purpose OF the proposed investiga-
ton is TO have the commission make
proper and reasonable orders with re-
spect to rates. 1t Is charged that the
roads are exacting unreasonable rates,
IN violation Of law.
Senator Warner Immediately ran into
a stumbling block. when he sought TO
get the resolution passed. Senator
stone objected that he wanted ample
time to consider whether the resolution
ought TO be adopted. He represented
that he had received protests from a
number Of business men and CONNER
ciaI organizations against the resolu-
ton.
Senator Hale objected that the resolu-
ton was contrary to the special order
made early in the session against con-
sideration Of anything but routine busi-
ness and tariff. he moved reference to
the Interstate Commerce Committee.
Senator EllIins. chairman OF the Inter-
state Commerce Committee, Indicated
his belief that the resolution ought to
be referred TO the committee. so that i
would not be continually coming up this
session
This brought from Senator Warner a
rather warm observation. in which ne
made it clear that he believed tie reso-
luton would be buried IL referred.
Nevertheless, the motion to refer was
carried, and nothing moro will be heard
of the resolution this session

ART TREASURE SAFE,
DESPITE BURNE-JONES
Washington Authorities Deny Charge That Holbein'
Panel, Bought by Fnck. viii Be Cracked by
Overheated Galleries.

Washington art connoisseurs put but
little faith In the statement Of Sir
Philip Burne-Jones that if Hans Hol-
bein's famous painting of christina Of
Denmark" recently purchased by Henry
C. Frick. Of Pittsburg. for $3.50 600, is
brought to America It viii be so seri-
ously affected by atmospheric conditions
that eventually it win be lost to the
world.
The impression is that Burne-Jones
made the statement in a moment Of
pique. because of the thought that the
Holbein masterpiece was soon to leave
England According to the celebrated
English painter, no painting upon a
panel can survive for many years In the
overheated atmosphere Of American
rooms and galleries.
Such statement as that accredit-
ed to Sir Philip Burne-Jones Is ridicu-
lous on its face" said c. Powell Min
nigerode, assistant director Of the Cor
coran Art Gallery this morning. There
is absolutely 40 reason why panel

country than in England or, in fact, in
any other country where properly cared
for. 1 am inclined to believe that Sir
Philip. because an Englishman, is
speaking from an En- -lishman's point
of view, because this old master is
going to be lost to his country 1t has
been my experience that If a panel
picture is properly backed and sup
ported its life may be indefinite. As
far as l know, American rooms and
galleries are not any more overheated
than are those of other countries"
Similar views are held by Edmund c.
Messer, principal Of the CorcOran Art
School. who said;
while my experience mas been large

a picture painted on panel will be any
more seriously affected by atmospheric
