THOSE FAKE PAINTINGS.
n. " Experts Take Exception to Mon
sieur RochefOrt's Statement.

New York, April 22-Art experts
here take vigorous exceptions to the
assertions of Monsieur Henri Roche
fort in Paris that of the $500 paint
ings by Rembrandt. which he thinks
are in this country, 1000 are forgeries.
His statement is regarded as a satir-
icaI exaggeration so far as the actual
number of paintings he names is con-
cerned.
DR.. Wilhelm Valentiner the Metro
politan art museums authority on old
Dutch paintings, characterlzes the
Rochefort statement as ''silly." There
are only $50 Rembrandts in existence,
he says, and probably only about a
tenth of the number in the United
States.
IN. Rochefort seems to think that
there are 500 genuine Rembrandts in
the United States" says DR.. Valen-
timer, ''but this is. of course. impos-
sible. There may be forgeries of
Rembrandt in the United States. but
I doubt it. for the great Dutch painter
is tha most difficult Of all to initiate.
1t would be difficult. in nv opinion,
to make a copy of a Rembrandt which
would deceive any but the most ignor-
ant. The Rembrandts which are hung

KILLS EATON'S PLAN

There are fifty places in the river
region. We are going to get them out
Of there
Just when the general attack on
these places, by which is meant dis
orderly houses, Joints, and "hangouts"
for crooks, Chief of Police Jenkins, who
made the above statement, would not
say. He declared the opening raid had
already been made and that the local
tiles indicated were in for a thorough
cleaning up.
Preliminary work looking toward the
cleaning up has already begun. And Il
is badly needed. Crooks who do not
operate in Topeka but who do operate
over the state and elsewhere have their
hangouts there and have learned that
by quiet conduct they are fairly safe
from arrest while in Topeka. And it is
not the gentleman crook who finds
refuge in these resorts 1t is the Grim
inal negro who is hidden by friends
and warned when 1t is safe to come
and go,
These resorts have not been cleaned
up of disorderly characters for years, It
is claimed. Some of the most notorious
ones have been sent to the penitentiaN
in the past. But a new and perhaps

that region north of First street and
south of the Kaw river. The denizens
of that part of the city know that
something is coming their way when
Jenkins gives the order for a cleanup.
Does Away With Eaton'S Plan.
J Meantime the work of reorganizing
the police force goes on. The old sys-
tenn of service calls and call backs in
titued by Jenkins predecessor has
been done away with. Under the new
system the policemen on every other
beat reports each half hour. The "call
back system was instituted because
policemen not calling up from the
place they were instructed to call from,
gave the impression that they had
walked their beat when they might De
in another part of town altogether.
When the policeman called the station
and announced he was at such and
such a place he then hung up the re-
ceiver and waited for the jailer to call
him in order that it might be proven
that he had called from the appointed
place.
There will be none of that for mine"
said Jenkins, when find I can't trust
a man on the force I'll fire him and

AS soon as the new uniforms are re-
ceived military drill will be held for
the purpose of preparing the officers
for Memorial day and other similar SER
vices. Most of the policemen are old
officers and know enough of that sort
of thing but enough drill will be given
them to faniliarize them with COM
mands heard upon such occasions.

CHARGES ARE FILED.
Whittemore Termed MEDIUM of Ex-
tortion' by Ella 6. Burton.

Ella G. Burton has placed in the
hands of the clerk of the school board
charges which she prefers against Super
intendent L. D. Whittemore. There are
six of them in all, and they deal for the
most part with the matter of school
books. The last charge, for example,
reads:
1T is charged that L. D. Whittemore is
one of a class of men. who with pro-
fessorly air wrap the mantle of dignity
around them and form a medium of ex-
tortion of the people, by text book pub
fishers. through the power of influence of
their propositions
Another item is that the state law is be-
ing violated because it costs $4.55 to sup
ply a child with text books in reading,
whereas the state laws provides that it
should cost but S1.45. 1t is also charged
in this connection that in addition to the
books provided by the state as adequate
for the common and high schools, II other
books have been added and that the cost
of these books Is exorbitant.

her mistress about the waist. sat her
forcibly into a sink. then dropped her
on the floor. Then. Selling a rolling
pin, she made ready to complete the
cleaning up when a boarder, attracted
by Mrs. Sitton's screams. rescued her.
Bridget was fined SIS and in lieu of
cash went to q cell
