GOV. OSBORN MEMBER

Adoption Of Minority Report on Fios-

Says Warden Russell.
(From a staff Correspondent J

LANSING, Mich, April 1.-THE mi
nority report OF the committee to in
vestigate Marquette prison. which was
printed in The Times yesterday, was
not presented to the house yesterday,
as had been intended. Reps. Straight
and Kalmbach, the trainers, found at a
late hour that the report took on the
nature of a substitute, and that it
would not be in order until the main
report was under discussion. The main
report comes up on special order this
afternoon.
Warden Russell, who is here this
week, smiled when told of the recon-
mendation that he and the board of
control be removed.
THAT means removal OF Gov. Os-
born," he said, ''for Gov. Osborn Is a
member of the board"
A bill by Rep. Ogg for the abolition
Of corporal punishment in state pris-
ons will be taken up as special or
der Immediately following the discus
sion of the reports. That latter, how
ever, will probably last into Thurs
day.
The house yesterday passed two
bills introduced by Rep. Bierd, for the
establishment OF industrial plants on
state account in both the Jackson and
Marquette state prisons. Each car
ries an appropriation of $62,600 and Is

BAD cow GROWS GOOD
AFTER ADOPTING A KID
No Longer Moiests Mother Goat,
Which II Used to Chase All
over the Lot.

ST. LOUIS, April 12.-Clayton Is
greatly interested in the strange tam
ing OF Mrs. j. VI. Neaf's once wicked
tempered COW, Rosey. Until Ave weeks
ago Mrs. Neaf had only the cow and
a goat, Bessie. Bessie was fierce
butter and Rosey had wicked horns.
Roseyis chief amusement was hurting
dogs over the fences, when she was
not chasing the goat
The advent OF kid had wrought n
complete change in the cows demean-
or. The first time she saw the kid,
Rosey chased the mother goat, but
paused and licked the kid affection
ately. The kid now shows an unusual
partiality for the COW.
The COW lies down and the kid
climbs on her back, where II stays
much OF the time viewing the seem
cry. AT first the mother goat was in
clined to fight for her rights. but now
meekly follows the COW, which has
appropriated her offspring.

AMERICANS EASY
FOR sW|hOLERs
South American Artist Says Big
Sums Are Paid for Poor Copies
of "Old Masters"

BOSTON, April ...-"Americans
with fat purses are easy marks 70
quote your American slang, when
they go to Europe to buy the works
of the, old masters" says Franc VII
lar. a wellknown South American
artist now conducting an exhibition
of his paintings here. Continuing, M
Villar said:
Very often fabulous sum Is PAID
by an American for some work osten'
sibly from the brush of master, Dut
in reality a very poor copy OF that
masters original painting.
1T would take only twenty years
for Americans in Europe TO buy up
the works Of the old masters there
II they continue as at present, and
then Europeans will have to come over
here to see real art. But the fact Is
that half the pictures which
they buy in the belief that such pro
ductions are masterpieces are fakes
pure and simple.
1T sometimes happens that the
European himself Is fooled by his
own countrymen, but more often II
is the American who Is humbugged
1t is almost joke that you Ameri
cans should SO often be caught with
fake productions of art that are Of
fered you abroad.
IL have my doubts II the Americans
appreciate art as Europeans do. A
European will find the glories OF ma
ture enthralling and stop In pure de
light to feast his eyes upon a sunset
for instance, while the busy Ameri-
can has hardly time for such a de-
light, and hurries In his quest for the
almighty dollar.
1T Is an acquired taste, in my opin-
ion, that the American has for beauti-
full things. Europe, however, Is the
parent teacher OF art, and American
students are apt pupils. Europe pro-
duces and has produced in centuries
gone by rare masterpieces, which
she Is turning over to you Americans,
that you may better learn and ap.
preciate the true wonders OF art.
The influx of these beautiful pic.
lures to America is gradually elevat.
ing the world of art here, because
when some rich man buys a genuine
old master IT is placed on exhibition,
and the struggling American artists.
too poor to travel abroad, are permit.
ted TO study IL with profit.
tn Italy and in Spain they have
laws which prevent native of either
country from selling the work OF q
native painter. In case a poor man
owns a beautiful painting, one which
represents high TYNE of art IL
comes into the possession OF the gov.
ernment after commission OF fine
arts has inspected IL and comes to an
agreement as TO the sum that the
work is worth. The man who owns
the painting is offered that sum. He
may take IL or he may leave il, but
he cannot dispose OF his picture 9th

DRYs' PROTEST

JACKSON, Mich, April 12-The
board OF supervisors will give deci-

and 6,673 against it, or majority of
39 for the vets.
Majority and minority reports were

members recommend that no resolu-
ton be adopted to repeal the local

but the figures, was voted down 16
to IL. Adjournment was taken with

port because some Of the supervisors
who voted against the minority report
wished to become better informed on
the law.
There were 81 blank and mutilated
ballots in the returns, which still
leaves 213 local option ballots unac-
counted for. Counting the 81 blank
