MYSTERYOF CRIME
IS IMP ENE TRABLE
Police Completely Baffled by
Disappearance of Famous
Painting.

Paris, August 23.-Thc mystery of
the disappearance from the Louvre of
Leonardo Da Ninci's great painting,
Mona Lisa" popularity called by the
French La Joconde." appears more
impenetrahe than ever tonight The
only thing definitely established by to-
days Investigations is that the picture
disappeared between the hours OF /
and $40 o'clock Monday morning
Whether 1t is still in the Louvre or
has been taken away IT is impossible
al present to determine.
Not the faintest clue has been dis
covered. in spite of the united efforts
of sixty OF the smartest detectives in
Paris and all the museum STAFF. Whe-
Their the picture was distracted by one
or several persons also remains in
doubt. and NJ. Lepne. the project of
police. admits that he is completely
baffled. II is one of the hardest cases
In the annals of criminal investigation.
and the search is being continued with
unremitting zeal To facilitate this the
museum Will be closed for three days.
No one will be admitted on any pre-
text whatever, except the police and

All the gate Keepers are positive that
no such package as the picture would

BATTLE ON TARIFF
At NEXT SESSION
Both Brands of Republicans, as

Washington. August 23.-The Demo
Gratis. the Progressive Republicans and
the Regular Republicans will have
their own programs for tariff revision
legislation when Congress reconvenes
in December. This much was made
clear to-day. All three elements in
the Senate will be engaged in great
battle on the general subject OF re-
Vision, the most important feature of
the contemplated work OF the
regular session. Much OF the trend of
the fight Will depend upon the report
of the tariff board and the recommen-
dations of the President in connec .
ton with that report.
The regular Republicans do not an
ticipate much actual tariff revision at
the coming session by reason OF the
wide divergence of opinion in the Sen
ate. They contend that failure is like

gether either the Regular and Progress.

IA LIVING, BREATHING,
 TALKING WAX MODEL
HUMAN AUTOMATON ATTRACTS CROWD TO DISPLAY WINDOW
 OF CITY STORE.
Once. an Actor, Now Professional
 Clothes Model.

4 crowd of people gathered before the window of M. Goldwater & Bros store yesterday afternoon, and the still ness of the throng, and the intentness with which they seemed to be observ- ing some interesting phenomenon caused curiosity. People stopped and added themselves to the crowd through a human desire to see the thing which had attracted so many spectators and stayed to look themselves, as ab- sorbed as the first corners.
 The spectacle of a clothes model hay ing every indication and appearance of wax figure automatOn, was displayed in the large window of the store and the short. quick, jerky movements of the model as it turned from side to side or changed the position of its eyes seemed to be the work of a marvellous mechanical contrivance. People were heard drawing speculations concerning the model. Some thought it was made of wax Others decided that a wOm an had learned the way of automatons, and had taken the job of foOling the public Others said it was man dressed up. Numerous attempts were made to attract the attention of the model, but tappings on the window were ignored. and the same cold, changeless stare looked out over the heads of the crowd at the city street. Somebody said Watch him. You can see him breathe" It was evident, to those who looked long enough. that there was a very slight rise and fall of the place where the autOmaton's breast ought to be- if an autOmaton was ever known to have a breast.
 For more than an hour the people watched, and there was no change. Finally-the model broke" the pose and ducked for the door of the win dow, disappearing into the main build ing It was an afternoon shift of MT Arthur Ross of New York city, a pro- fessional model, who can hold a pose as long as any man in the business, and there are only seven in the United States. He served an apprenticeship in vaudeville, and passed from the stage to the store window, where his impersonation of a wax statue is a most attractive and unusual advertise ment. Since he adopted the profession of clothes model MT Ross has held crowds spellbound in nearly every large city of the country, having worked" in New York, Philadelphia. Pittsburg, New Orleans and other eastern cities. MT Ross will appear again today and in a few days will leave for the coast to fill long engagement with big mer- cantile houses of Los Angeles.

FRESHIES FAIL IN GEOGRAPHY
River Rhine Is Placed In Asia and
Memphis, Mobile and Venice
Are Strange.

Madison, Wis. - Many freshmen
when they enter the University of
Wisconsin, cannot locate important
cities, rivers or mountain ranges, in
their own or foreign countries, accord.
ing to recent tests made by the de-
partment of geology in, the classes in
physical geography. The results of
the examinations this year corrobo-
rate those of previous years.
Surprising ignorances of the loca.
ton of prominent cities in the United
States was discovered. Many could
not tell in what state such well-known
cities as Richmond, Mobile, Memphis,
Butte. Syracuse, Nashville, Spokane,
Atlanta and Scranton were.
Some of the students could locate
only four of the following ten cities
by telling what country each was in
Vienna, Venice, Lisbon, Bombay, Bue-
nos Aires, Hongkong, Athens, Mos.
cow, Shanghai and Melbourne.
Fully one-third showed remarkable
ignorance in regard to even the ap-
proximate location of the Rivers
Rhine, Volga, Ganges, Orinoco and
Euphrates. Some placed the Rhine in
Asia and others in South America.
In trying to locate the Pyrenees,
Caucasus, Himalaya and Sierra Ne.
vada mountains and Mt. Mckinley,
nearly half of the freshmen missed
two or three out Of these five.

particularly the programme of the
coming hours.
To begin with, 80 minutes were to
be devoted to bath and dressing in
his rooms. This was something not so
unpleasant to contemplate. 1t was the
afterwards that repealed him: Dinner
at Sherry's, the subsequent tour of
roof gardens, the late supper at club,
and then, prolonged far into the small
hours, the session around some green
covered table in a close room reeking
with the fumes of good tobacco and
hot with the fever of gambling.
Abstractedly Maitland frowned,
tersely summing up: "Beastly!"-in
an undertone.
At this the green car wheeled alb
ruptly round corner below Thirty
fourth street, slid half block or more
east, and came to a palpitating halt.
Maitland, looking up, recognized the
entrance to his apartments, and sighed
with relief for the brief respite from
boredom that was to be his. He rose,
negligently shaking off his buster,
and stepped down to the sidewalk
Somebody in the car called a
warning after him, and turning for a
moment he stood at attention, an eye
brow raised quizzically, cigarette
dropping from a corner of his mouth,
hat pushed back from his forehead,
hands in coat pockets; tall, slender,
sparsely built figure of a man, clothed
Immediately in flannels. ri
When at length he was able to make
himself heard: Good enough" he said
clearly, though without raising his
voice. "Sherry's in an hour. Right.
Now, behave yourselves"
Mind you show up on time!"
Never fear" returned Maitland over
his shoulder.
A witticism was flung back at him
from the retreating car, but spent
itself unregarded Maitland's atten.
ton was temporarily distracted by the
unusual-to say the least-sight OF a
young and attractive woman coming
out OF home for confirmed bachelors
The apartment house happened to
be his own property. A substantial
and old-fashioned edifice, situated in
the middle of quiet block, it con-
tanned but five roomy and comfortable
suites-in other words, one to a floor;
and these were without exception ten
anted by unmarried men of Matt
lands own circle and acquaintance.
The janitor. himself a widower and q
convinced misogynist, lived alone in
the basement. Barring very special
and exceptional occasions Gas when
one of the bachelors felt called upon
to give tea in partial recognition OF
social obligations), the foot of woman
never crossed its threshold.
in this circumstance, indeed, was
comprised the singular charm the
house had for its occupants. The
quality which insured them privacy
and quiet independence rendered
them oblivious to its many minor
drawbacks. its lack of many conven.
