NEW YORK. Dec 19.--What is I'M
doubtedly the art event OF the year
has Just become known in the con-
signment Of one Of the finest cast
Titians to the Cincinnati Art Museum.
The painting was so priced by Titan
that he kept it in his own possession
until ne died. and since II was painted

special trips to see it Negotiations
for it's sale began only two months
ago. and ENGLAND where 1t mas re-
posed for the past two years. does
not vet know Of its departure: SIR
Hugh Lane. the famous British coliec-
tor and connoisseur, in a private letter
TO a friend in this country, admits that
England Is liable to censure him Tor
allowing such a notable treasure TO go
abroad.
The owner. wealthy and ciVicaIly
generous woman of Cincinnati, who IL
earnestly endeavoring to conceal her
identity as donor Of the portrait. has
withheld the purchase price. But, IN
view of the estimate put on this specl-
men by conn oisseurs and in view OF
the speed with which the sale was
consummatnc. and in view OF the
recorded prices OF inferior Iftians, II
can safely be estimated that the paint
ing was secured for not less than
100000.
Has Interesting History.
The painting, held exclusive and re-
stricted. has had a peculiarly interest
ing history. Titan was an old man,
nearly seventy years OF age, when
Charles V. of Spain, sent for him u
naiut the portrait of Charles son,
later Philip II. So Titan forsook other
plans and made the journey in mid
winter, crossing the mountains from
Italy to Augsburg In Germany. where
Charles was then holding his I'M

ment might be submitted later in
brief.
The amount involved Is small, but
what gives Importance to the case Is
that the principle involved may be
sustained and that the Commonwealth
may establish in court the right to
make assessment or to declare the
amount due in license tax as based
upon the value OF the purchases made
during the previous year.
Company's Figures Rejected.
The case grows out of the rejection
by the Commonweal Of the figures
supplied by Armour & Co. as TO the
total value of purchases brought into
the State during the year, and the
assessing OF figure larger than that
submitted by the company. on its bus
iness.
when the company submitted figures
purporting to be the total value of
the purchases OF the company In Vir-
ginia and on which the amount OF its
license tax should be based, the Com
