DR.. William Bode Says One in Lon
don Gallery Is Not Original.

Speclal CaDlegram to The Star.
LONDON, July 13.-Dr William Bode
announces that supposed Rembrandt In
the National Gallery In London is really
a copy, made by one Of Rembrandt's pu-
pills at the Leyden studio. and that the
picture In the Kaiser Friedrich Museum
in Berlin, hitherto thought copy, is
the original.
The painting in question is a portrai,
of Rembrandt's father, painted during the
artists youth.
DIR. Bode is very positive in his decla-
ration that the National Gallery portrait
is merely a copy. The Berlin critics are
waiting to hear what the London ex-
perts have to say.
DIR. Bode, director Of the Kaiser Fried
rich Museum In Berlin, Is an art expert
whose authority was greatly shaken in
Germany by his statement that a bust in
the Berlin Art Gallery was the work of
Leonardo da Vinci.
The bust in question was purchased in
London by DIR. Bode after it had been in
the possession Of a private family for
many years. DR.. BODIES declaration re-
garding the authorship Of the bust was
received with considerable amusement in
this country, the best expert opinion here
being that the bust was the work Of r.
Cookie Lucas, who died in 1888.

CAPE MAY, N. j., July 13, 1912.
A merry war has begun in the member
ship Of the Cape May Yacht Club, which
has terminated in a virtual splitting Of
the organization and the organization of
a second yacht club. and in the latter or
ganization are the more wealthy visitors
to Cape May, including several Washing
ton summer residents. The disruption in
the club has been a leading factor in
Cape May seaside life for the past ten
years.
At this resort are the representatives OF
a number Of old local families, who, be-
cause Of their mingiing with the wealthy
visitor. have become imbued with the idea
that they are not only socially their equal
but can do in a financial way what the
visitor does. They do not seem to recollect
that the wealthy visitor is the person who
really supports them and who spends
the money which keeps up the social
organizations at the resort. large
number Of Cape May people who had
small yachts were taken in as members
Of the club, and beginning with last
autumn the wealthy visitors concluded
that they desired a larger and more mod
ern club house. and began preparations
for the building of forty-ive-thousand-
dollar building, for which a wealthy
member Of the club has donated a plot of
land the size of one-half of city block
on the edge of the new Cape May harbor.
