SCRAPES OLD CANVAS;

Painter, Uncovers $4,000 Land
scape on Junk Cloth.
SMEARED OVER WITH WHITE

New York. Dec. 19.-Nearly twenty
years after his death lost painting by
George Inness has been uncovered upon
q canvas that his daughter had kept
simply as lone of the odds and ends OF
his studio. A hundred times it had barely
escaped destruction or use for other pur-
poses. Today that yard or so of restored
surface is valued at from 5000 to SIS, ,OOO
Mrs. Jonathan Scott Hartley. whose
father was the greatest landscape painter
America has produced, today told the
story of the picture.
when We came to New York from
Montclair, where my father used to
work." she began, II brought a number
OF the old canvases along. Some Of them
were used, but there was always this
big white thing that we hardly knew
what to do with.
when We moved all our old things
into this house we put the canvas in a
closet. Finally I said to myself What's
the use of keeping it any longer simply
because it happened to be in fathers
studio? I'll cut it up for my daughter
to paint on.
But 1 noticed that the surface had
a look that was different from ordinary
canvas-more the look of thick paint
1t felt heavier, too. Then II came to
me that father used to cover up some
Of his finished or half-finished pictures
with white.
when I had a large patch of the
canvas pretty well cleaned it all came
back to me / remembered the whole
picture as 1 used to see 1t in the
studio"
The picture has been sold for a large
amount to George H. Ainslee, who is
having IL fully restored.

The reheassal of the massed chorus for
the Community Christmas Tree Celehra-
tion, which has been called for 2:15
o'clock at Polls Theater, is expected to
bring together a notable body OF local
singers. Personal invitations have gone
forward to a thousand sclolists, while
another communication has been ad-
dressed to the pastors of Washington
churches, inviting the cooperation of the
church choirs and the musical elements
of the congregations generally.
Arrangements have been made to seat
the singers at Polls Theater Sunday aft
ernoon as follows: Basses, orchestra, left
side; tenors, orchestra, right side. So
pranos, orchestra circle, right side; altos
orchestra circle, left side. The same ar
rangement will prevail for the seating
Of singers in the first and second bal
comics.
c. J. Gockeler, chairman of the Com
munity Christmas public order commit
tee, and number of those assisting him,
made a trip to the east plaza of the
Capitol yesterday afternoon to look over
the ground and decide on the steps
necessary to the control OF the Christmas
Eve crowd, and to the successful pre-
sentation of the celebration.
1t was decided that an effort will be

police in policing the grounds on the
evening of the celebration. Negotiations
were started with Elliott Woods, superin-

branches of Congress, and the committee
members feel sure that no difficulty will
be found in getting the aid of the Capt.

so that there would be no danger to
spectators who attend the celebration,

Years Eve Noises.
In an effort to minimize as far as pos
sible drunkenness. ribaldry and terrifying
noises incident to New Years Eve on
Pennsylvania avenue and in other parts
of the country, the District of Columbia
Christian Endeavor Union is planning to
hold on New Years Eve on the southern
steps of the Treasury Building a great
''songfest" to be participated in by 100
trained singers and thousands OF late
merry-makers and revelers.
1t is the plan of the Christian Endeayor
leaders to organize a great chorus to be
composed Of from 500 to loo voices
which will be under the direction of
Percy S. Foster, convention song leader
and writer Of religious hymns. The words
of old-time songs and religious songs
will be thrown on a great screen which
will be erected for the purpose.
That the idea of the "songfest' will
meet with universal approval the officers
Of the Christian Endeavor Union are GER
tain.
In a letter received from Secretary of
War Garrison, the Secretary said that
he is heartily In accord with the move
ment as outlined" Pastors who have
been interviewed with regard to the mat
ter and Endeavor leaders are unanimous
In their declaration that the plan is
most excellent one, and will result in
minimizing to a great extent the dis
order and drunkenness sometimes Incl
dent to New Years Eve celebrations in
Washington.
At meeting Of the board OF officers
of the Christian Endeavor Union which
will be held at Endeavor headquarters in
the Bond Building Monday evening, final
arrangements looking toward the con-
summation Of the ''songfest' for New
Years Eve will be made.

act as reserve agents for other national
banks. As the largest and most I'M

their decision naturally is awaited with
keen interest, and their action doubt
lessly will influence very largely the ac-
tion OF other banks. II they elect to
join the system they may continue their
relations with their correspondents for
twenty-four months and have their 2
per cent bonds taken of their hands at

A bank official who discussed the mat
ter last night said II was certain that
the new system must have the support
generally of the bank In the reserve
cities to be successful II such support
Is given freely, he added. there viii be
no question that a sufficient number or
country banks viii follow to make the
plan succeed. He explained that the
hf'l seems to contain many provisions
designed to force both national and
State institutions TO enter the system.
and failure TO support the plan may ere
ate a condition difficult TO manage.

The next two months will be taken up
with various plans OF reimbursement.
A careful study of financial conditions
in connection with an analysis OF the
measure leads to the belief that the large
banks finally will support the measure,
and the smaller banks naturally will fall
In line.
As bank official put It last night:
