Tours, France, Dec 23-The defence

fact that NJ. Belleuse. the art expert
called by the prosecution to pass upon
the authenticity of the defendants pic
lures, is now awaiting trial on a charge
of conducting a gambling house in Paris
The appointment of this expert was
suggested by the complainant, the Ouch
ess De Choseul- Praslin, formerly Mrs.
Charles H. Paine of Boston. Belleuse
characterized D'Aulby's paintings as
mostly worthless copies and their owner
as an audacious tratficker playing upon
the credulity of art collectors.
NJ. Bernard asked for the immediate
designation of another expert. The Incl
dent caused a tumult in the courtroom

calling NJ Desmoulin a painter, who tes-
titled that of such of D'Aulby's pictures

excellent copies.

Believe Aviator
Grace Lost at Sea.

London, Dec. 23.-With the approach
or midnight and no tdings yet received
from Cecil S. Grace. the intrepid young
aviator, who disappeared Thursday aft
ernoon while essay ing return cross
channel fight from Calais to Dover in
an aeroplanc the belief generally pre-
valent in London was that the cold
North Sea held somewhere on its
turbulent breast the history of a
tragedy. Every nook and corner
shore and inland-where it was thought
perchancc young Grace might have
landed were searched today, but I'M
availingly: and the boats that churned
the channel and portions of the North
Sea on the lookout for the youth or
wreckage Of his machine likewise re-
ported that their search had been in
vain.
Craze carried with him petrol suGi-
cient for a flight of about five hours.
His biplane was not fitted with pom
toons. He wore a cork jacket but in
case of fall into the water he would
have been encountered by his heavy
fur-lined top boots. The general be-
lief is that it would be impossible for
his machine to float for any great
length of time and that unless the
aviator was rescued by Il ship bound
for some distant port there is slender
hope that he escaped death in the sea.
Particular interest is felt in the ven

PRES. TAFT DOES HIS
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING,
Takes Delight in Purchasing Gifts fol
Family, White House Employees and
Personal Friends Buys LibeT-
aIIy,Making Own Selections.

Washington, Dec. 23.-President Taft
finished his Christmas shopping today.
Matters Of state made the President
one of the tardy shoppers. Altogether
he devoted three afternoons to the
task, which was not Il small one by
any means. Yesterday, Captain Butt,
the Presidents aid, carried 80 of the
Chief Magistrates cards with him, but
they were all exhausted before the
President was willing to leave the
holiday counters. and the captain had
to make hurried trip to the White
House III an automobile for more cards
to go with the various rcmembrances.
President Taft is one of those who
believes more in the sentiment of
Christmas giving than in the intrinsic
values. In consequence he does not
confine himself to a small coterie of
relatives and friends and his gifts
mount up into the hundreds. The
President is very fond of giving books
and much of his shopping time has
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1910-12-24

been spent in rufnmaging the shelves
of the booksellers. In each book he
gives he writes d suitable sentiment on
the hy-leaf, thus giving the volume
something of a historical value.
The President also is fond of giving
trinkets Of jcWelry and always makes
his own selections. When he starts on
a tour of the shops. he goes just like
any other holiday buyer, armed with
a long list of names and probable pur-
chases.
Outside Of the large circle of rela-
tives and friends. the President gives
presents to the various White House
clerks. He also presents turkeys to
the married employees about the White
House. the executive offices anC
grounds. There are 1902 of these en-
ployeS. and this item alone requires an
outlay of from $3.50 to $400. To the
three Secret Service officers who are
assigned to look after his welfare, the
President always gives a personal re-
membrance.
