Perjury in Counterfeiting Case.

Sidna Allen, for whom posses have been
securing the hills OF Virginia in connec-
ton with the Hillsville court tragedy. has
been granted a new trial by the circuit
court of appeals of the western district
of North Carolina on the charge OF
perjury. of which he was convicted at
Greensboro, several months ago according
to advices to the secret service here.
The allegations grew out OF a counter
felt case and Allen was sentenced by
the district courts to two and a half
years i'm the penitentiary. He is out on
5000 bail, and had the circuit couDt Of
appeals decided against him he would
have become a fugitive from justice in
this case today. His case probably will

Estimate Of Prof. Fenollosa.

To this tribute might well be added the
estimate of the late Prof. Fenollosa, one
Of the greatest authorities on oriental
art. and for a number of years Mr..
Freer's associate in the work of collect
ing. Concluding an article on the Freer
collection published in the Pacific Era in
1907, he took occasion to write the fol-
lowing: 1T Is not too much to say that
Mr.. Freer is probably the greatest living
expert In artistic pottery. And Of Chinese
and Japanese painting he Is probably
the most inwardly appreciative. No other
collector has had such an opportunity OF
knowing Mr.. Whistler's purpose, through
deep personal intimacy. Unique opportu-
mites for doing the world supreme serv-
ice are thus united in Mr.. F,reers per-
sonal and professional accomplishments. u
So much for the qualifications and pur-
poses of the collector-as to the collection
itself. When conveyed by deed Of gif,
May ). 1906, it comprised about 2.2JO OBJ
jects, but subsequent additions have in
creased the number to more than 1000.
Seven American artists are represented by
more than 1000 examples, more tnan
four-fifths of which are the work OF
James McNeill Whistler. The oriental
part Of the collection consists Of Chinese
and Japanese paintings. panels, screens,
kakemono. makimono and albums, of pot
terry chiefly from Japan, Korea. China.
Persia and Egypt: Of Egyptian glass, and
of figures. statuettes. sculpture, mirrors,
etc, in bronze. stone. wood and lacquer.
OF this vast collection 115 selected speci-
mems will be on view
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-04-13

verse is doubtless the ground of his belief
in the special educational value which
his collection will have for students in
Washington
1t must be remembered, furthermore
that Whistler stands at the meeting
po4at of the great streams OF eastern and
western art. which in our own time have
come together. inasmuch as 1t has been
truly said that he was "the first to grasp
fully and creatively the oriental princi-
pie in order to express occidental feel
ing" Thus he forms the link between
the two greaA divisions Of art and the
two main sections OF this collection.
With his paintings have been placed those
of Dewing and Tryon ana Thayer. not
because they were alone pre-eminent, but
because they are in a measure following
the same lead, working along the same
general lines.
Admiration Is Forced.
Half way the length Of the north wall
will hang two full-length portraits by
Whistler side by side-a portrait Of F..
r. Leyland. for whom. 1t will be remem-
bered, the peacock room was originally
designed and painted. and a portrait of
a. young woman. "Jeune Femme, dite

To the right of these canvases will be
hung a group Of three nocturnes-the IA,

and Silver--Bognor''-all SO dark that
one ,eers into them at first as into the
night itself and gradually discerns forms

glazed with special felicity. Such pea
| cock blues. such gray-greens and dull
and delightful unnamed eOlors can be
found nowhere else, unless perchance in
the plumage of birds. These are indeed
manifestations Of art. and must serve
as an inspiration to art OF no UNI
certain quality. 1t would be well to con-
slider how surprisingly fine these same
specimens must appear on the shelves OF
the peacock room in Mr.. Freer's own
residence. so much does environment
mean.
Pottery Rare and Fine.
From the pottery. the Egyptian glass,
which is very rare and fine, and the IL
Illuminated manuscripts one will turn to
the south wall. on which hang Chinese
and Japanese paintings. The first. per-
haps, to catch the eye will be a pea
cock by Mort Spsen, a comparatively
modern painter living between the years
1147 and 1921. 1t is kakemono and an
exquisite piece Of work, decorative, col
orful and very effective.
At the extreme other end of the same
wall will be found works by other Japa-
nese artists-a kakemono with peoples, by
Sotatsu, who flourished in the early part
OF the seventeenth century. and among
stands, In the estimate Of his country

which decorate the east wall of the gal

as it is composed of objects specially in
tended for intimate study and enjoyment

and may be studied most pleasurably.
A catalogue has been compiled under
the direction of the secretary of the Ma
tional Museum which will be published as
a bulletin and serve not only as an in

collection, giving brief history Of the

scented in this section.
From Tuesday for two months the ex-
hibition will be open to the public.
