DAUBIGNY.

Souvenirs OF the BarbiZon school are
constantly turning up in our local gal
leries, but only at long intervals do we
have a chance TO see an exhibition OF
them like that which is now accessible al
the Cottier Gallery. This is made up OF
a dozen pictures by Daubigny, mostly
from the recently dispersed collections of
Alexander Young and Sir John Day.
They are nearly all of small dimensions
and of those proportions for which the
painter had a prediction. panels long
and narrow. The different phases of his
art are illustrated. his sylvan scenes, his
luscious meadows. his views of the
coast, and. of course. his placid rivers.

PAINTINGS BY ROBERT REID.

number of years ago, when Mr..
Robert Reid first rose to the dignity OF
having exhibitions of his own, he ranged
himself as a painter of figures out of
doors graceful feminine types, set
against Ieafy backgrounds in the full
light of the sun These motives he has
never abandoned, but work upon deco
rative paintings and designs for stained
glass withdrew him, for a time, from his
familiar field, and in the last few years
his art as a maker of pictures suffered a
certain declension. Then he began to
regain lost ground, and now at the
Montross Gallery he has a group OF
some twenty-odd paintings which show
not only a restoration of his former
vitality but an accession of new re-
sources. His subjects are the same,
women in the open air. but he has given
more attention to landscape for its own
sake. and in the process has fort1ned MS
work at every point
It is militant work, resolute in attack
and animated by that Zest for the novel
and vivid impression which puts self
consciousness out of court and carries
an artist TO the heart of his subject. In

is Mr. Williams in need of that strength

is more profitable than a thousand alb

His taste for the luscious tones of old
tapestry serves him to good purpose in
his decorative figure piece, "Bacchus

1t. Look at Mr.. Weir's 1.-Two Little
Friends" the portrait of a child with
cat in its arms, so lovely in color and
80 personal in every detail of its execu-
ton. The thing spells knowledge and
the liberty, the originality, that it takes
knowledge to express. The good por-
traits in the show are not, by the way,
particularly numerous, but the few that
detach themselves from the mass are
very good indeed. It is individuality
again that appeals to us in Mr.. Tarbelfs
othy Dwight" a work which would ar
rest attention at once through its un-
conventional but very dignif1ed compo-
sition, and In which there are further
points to admire, notably the skllrui
handling of blacks and the drawing OF
the distinguished head. In scheme or
tone which looks, perhaps, little Old
fashioned to-day, but painted with de-
Nghtful adroitness and with a good deal
Of weight is the late Walter ShirlaW's
"Kappelrneister," and another portrait
showing the sterling workmanship OF an
older tradition is Mr.. Neimeyer's Mrs.
Harry Welch." In line and form this is
q canvas of notable refinement and pre-
cision, and the tone, though possibly
handled with undue restraint, is very
pure and charming. Miss Mary Foote's
Portrait of Mrs. John Carpenter" is so
good, especially in it's gracious color
scheme that we wish it might have suf-
fered one trif1ing modification. A lighter,
more generalizing touch in the treatment
Of the blue feathers in the hat would
have helped enormously toward giving
the portrait an air of greater sponta-
neity. There are some good portraits Of
men by Mr.. McCameron, Mr.. Smedley,
Mr. Reevs and Mr.. Belts, and, as we
take leave of the show, there are two

LOEB SEES MAcVEAeH
confers Over Granting Immunity to
importers for Giving Evidence

Washington, Nov 30.-Collector
Loeb had two conferences yesterday
with Secretary MacYeagh at which
Attorney General Wickersham, Assis-
tant Secretary Curtis and a number
Of special agents of the New York
Custom House were present Great
secrecy surrounded the Treasury de
partment in regard 10 the nature Of
the business under consideration. The
conference lasted over five hours.
II is understood that they We're held
for the purpose of laying before the
secretary the evidence in important
cases of underyamations and frauds
in the Customs Service at New York.
The principal question put before the
secretary was the proposal TO grant
immunity in consideration Of testi-
mony that would enable the govern
ment TO maintain prosecutions.
No decision was reached as TO the
action Of the government with refer
ence to the customs frauds in wool
ems and Innings The frauds are said
to reach into hundreds of thousands
of dollars which have been lost to the
government through undervaluations
The conference will be resumed to-
morrow.
Those who are accused Of having
defrauded the government are said to
have offered to compromise provided
there Is no prosecution.
1t is understood the government is
opposed TO accepting compromises
where sufficient evidence TO convict
has been obtained by the unaided ef
forts Of its own investigators. In ca
ses where the culprits have confess
ed voluntarily to undervaluations and
have offered to make restitution, il
is said leniency may be shown.
Among others present at the con
ferences were J. w. Wheatley and ]
c. Cummings. special agents OF the
Customs Seryicehi J. NJ. Krackey. ma
val officer Of the port OF New York
and Solicitor Andrews Of the office Of
the collector OF the port of New York
The prominence Of the officials con
cerned In today's conferences leads
to the belief that the above questions
and the immunity pleas Of certain I'm
porters have been put uD TO the high
est authorities for decision.

To Defeat Legislation Against

EIGHT ASSOCIATIONS IN IT

New York, Dec. Eight racing as
soclations, seeking to defeat the anti
betting bills at Albany, contributed
$264,OOO to the Jockey club for legal
expenses, according to M. Lynn
Bruce, counsel OF the legislative graft
investigating committee. During the
session of the committee yesterday,
Mr.. Bruce ran over the various con-
tributions which have been admitted
in testimony and summed up this
wise:
According to the testimony all the
racing associations contributed to a
fund for legal services. 1t was ad-
mitted that all the associates paid
their assessments and that they were
assessed alike.
Now we find evidence that the
share of the Metropolitan Racing as
ISOLATION was over $4,000. AS there
we're eight such associations, the
fund, according to the testimony,
must have been at least 1854, O0O."
