As to the importance OF the porce-
lain cap for the Blenheim ginger jar
the late William NJ. Laffan. the great
art connoisseur. often told of stand
ing one day with Mr.. Morgan at the
cabinet which held this particular
vase. which came originally from the
famous Marlborough collection.
'Laffan, ! want a cap for that jar"
said Mr.. Morgan suddenly, as he
waved his cane excitedly before him
in his characteristic way. Get II. II

Mr.. Laffan tried for many years to
locate the cap which belonged upon
the vase. His agents secured the
temples OF China without avail.
Refused to Explain
When Mr.. Laffan died last fall
fall Thomas b. Clark. also an art con-
noisseur. took up the task of COM
pleting the catalogue Of Mr.. Morgan's
collection. II was during the period
OF Mr.. Clark's supervision that the
cap appeared on the Blenheim vase
and the wooden cap disappeared.
Just say the cap came from anoth-
er vase of the Morgan collection" said
Mr.. Clarke when asked to explain the
porcelain phenomenon.
"There Is every reason to believe
the cap belonged to the Blenheim
vase. and that they have been reunit-
ed after many years. Remarkable?
Well. the case OF the stand of the
Goddess of Mercy is even more inter
esting. This statuette was made on
the first day of the first moon-new

Washington. Jan. 1.-two changes
in the house apportionment plan were
argued upon by the house committee
on census today. They amend the
Crumpacker congressional apportion-
ment bill which provides for house
membership OF 43S. outside Of ARIZONA
and New Mexico. so that those ter
ritories when they become states shall
have one representative each. The
other amendment fixes the basis OF
house membership following the
fourteenth and subsequent censu ses
The latter amendment provides that
as soon as each subsequent decennial
census is completed the secretary Of
commerce and labor should ascertain
the aggregate population Of all OF the
states and each, separately. This ag-
gregate population Is to be divided by
43O and the product of that division
will be the ratio of house apportlon-
ment under each sensus.
Chairman Crumpacker of the cen
sus committee, called up these amend
ments In the house today and had
them placed on the record preliminary
to taking them up later. with the
apportionment bill. which the COM
mittee already has favorably reported.

BUTTE MINES CLOSED
BY UNDERGROUND FIRE

Butte, Mont, Jan. 16.-The fire in
the High Ore mine which was discov-
cred Saturday evening, and in conse-
quence OF which several properties
were closed, has been located about
fifty feet above the 1900 foot level
from the High Ore. 1t is now believ-
ed to be practically under control, al
though conditions are regarded as
somewhat serious All the mines were
running today with the exception Of
the North Butte, Diamond and High
Ore. In the two former the close
down was due to the smoke and gases
from the High Ore.
AT present it is impossible to make
an estimate of the loss as the men
have been unable to get in and look
over the amount of ground burned
over. 1t seems certain, however, that
the High Ore will be closed down for
several days after the fire has been
put out on account OF the gases and
smoke. 1t Is believed that the North
Butte and Diamond will be able to
resume work in few days.
