PARIS POLICE PUZZLED
At PURL0INED PICTURE
Think infatuated Man Stole
"La JaConde" Because of
His Strange Passion

PARIS, Aug. 24.-Jaris police today
frankly admit complete mystificatiop
over the disappearance from the
Louvre of Leonardo da Vinci's $4,000
900 masterpiece generally known as
Mona Lisa" but popularity called by
the French La Joconde"
Up to this afternoon not a trace of
the picture or the thief had been
found.
1t is generally conceded that the
thief would have perceived the inn
possibility of selling a work so we'll
known. Accordingly psychological ex-
plantations of the strange case are
sought
The attendants at the salon-carre
where the painting had had the place
Of honor for five years, now tell OF
having wondered at the rapt and long
ing regard given the portrait by a
young man who, during recent weeks,
frequently visited the Louvre.
His appearance suggested that he
was Of a northern race. He was a
blonde and had blue eyes. He would
gaze strangely at the dark Italian
beauty as though enthralled with her
divine smile"
Now the theory presented to NJ
Hamard, head of the French secret ser
vice. is that this man Of disorded fan
cy has abducted Mona Lisa" so that
he may have her always near him.
Descriptions of the stranger are be-
ing distributed. In this connection ar
lists are relating singular stories of
infatuations with works of art and
the manias for statues and portraits
Of madmen who would plot to obtain
possession of works which they could
not buy.
Many believe that the portrait was Ia
ken by persons who, disguised as lapor-
res, were passing through the salon
carre at $50 o'clock yesterday mornins
when one of them, pointing TO Mona
Lisa" said to the other:
This is the finest picture in the
Louvre"
An hour later an attendant missed the
picture from it's accustomed place, but
supposed 1t had been removed to permit
Of it's being photographed and so did
not report its disappearance.
The Louvre was closed today.
