BARONESS sues
In PICTURE DEAL
NobleWoman Seeks Court
Help to Secure Ex-
pected Profits.

Corots, Rembrandts, Velasquezes and
sented in the collection of paintings
over which Baroness Aurelia de Tonnay
has brought suit in the Supreme Court
against John w. Van Dyke, of Phila-
delphia, president of the Atlantic Re-
fining Company.
The baroness acted as the purchasing
agent Of Mr.. Van Dyke in Europe and
bought for him a large number of
paintings. She paid $4,000 for vari-
Gus canvases, which, with the cost OF
bringing them here, cost the oil man
$4,000 But from the list of values
furnished by Baroness de Tonnay their
real value is from $750,000 to $1,000
900. She Is suing for her share of
profits that would have accrued if the
defendant had kept his alleged agree
ment to sell the pictures.
The plaintiff says that she got a
purchaser who was ready to buy the
masterpieces for 100000, but that Mr.
Van Dyke changed his mind about
selling, and retains the pictures in his
III blahoNOAN ST.
1t is said that Mr.. Van Dyke became
acquainted with Baroness de Tonnay,
who is an art broker, in Paris, and
that he was married at her home about
five or six years ago.
Baroness de Tonnay bought most or
some of the pictures over which the liti-
cation is brought from a daughter OF
Zarachai AstruZ, painter and sculptor
In fhn h. -
Dyke is a Greuze, for which, according
to the baroness, the late ]. p. Morgan
was at one time willing to pay 100000
but was unable to get the picture.
The plaintiff explains that she was
able to get the valuable collection of
paintings, of which there are sixty
four, at the price she paid because she
bought them in 1908 and 1909, at a
time when they were not being sought
by American collectors, and also that
if they had been bought by agents
their price would have been fabulous
Astruz left fifty-nine of the pictures
to his daughter, Nine. Isabella Doria.
She had to sell them because Of press
ing financial obligations. The most
valuable of the collection, as stated by
Baroness de Tonnay. is a portrait of
the Infanta Maria Teresa by Velas-
quez, on which a value of 100000 is
placed. There is a specimen of De-
lanyo Fragonard valued at $75,00O,and
"The Earthquake" by the same artist,
is said to be valued at $4,000. Other
canvases in the Van Dyke collection
and the value fixed by Baroness de
Tonnay are: THE Toilette" by
Veronese, $4,000; Descent from the
Cross" by Peter Porbus, $4,000;
Bouquet de Tereus," by Rubens. $2O,-
900; MADAME du Barry" by Van Loo,
$4,000; "The Spring" by Millet, S4O,-
900; "Diaz Among Flowers" by Diaz,
$4,000; portrait of Comtesse Henri
cite de Tourillias, by Niculas de Largil-
liere, $4,000; portrait of Comte
Etienne Robert de forgot, by Hyacinthe
Rigaud, $4,000; Christ Carrying
Cross" by Murillo, $4,000; process
SION" by Velasquez, 100000, and
"Head of Woman" by Goya, $4,000.
There are two landscape paintings by
Rembrandt in the collection on which
the value was not given. One of these,
said Baroness de Tonnay, formerly
hung in the royal palace in Holland
Also there are Corots on which value
of $4,000 is placed.

TAKES AEROPLANE
TOSTUDY THE SUN
Professor Todd, of Amherst,
Will Use Novel Method at
Riga, Russia.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Boston, June 2S.-With the aid of an
aeroplane above the clouds Professor
David Todd, of Amherst College, ex-
poets, on August %, at Riga, Russia,
10 make discoveries important to as
tronomers concerning the sun.
He will sail from New York this
week on his tenth astronomical expedi-
ton, and will, for the first time in
astronomical observation, use an air
ship 10 aid his efforts. His success
with balloons during the observation
of Halley's comet led to tests with
aeroplanes. Professor Todd believes
that the great speed of the aircraft
100 miles an hour-wll make possible
longer study of the sun. 1t will
enable him to rise above the clouds or
mist and give him other advantages
hitherto beyond the reach of scientists.
He will carry with him in his flights
a camera telescope and a spectroscope.
II is expected that important obser-
vations will result from Professor
Todd's research work. Since his gradu-
alton from Amherst in 1875 he has been
actively engaged in astronomy, in
which he has won a wide reputation.
In 1878, when only three years out of
college, he was placed in charge Of
the Navy Departments expedition to
Texas 20 observe the eclipse of the sun
that year.

ly wounded Patrick J. Collins, keep,
err. with a revolver of which ne mao
obtained possession in some manner
unknown to the authorities.
Wall, who is twenty-six years OIL age,
was sent TO the institution from tne
Railway Reformatory on May D, 1910
He had been arrested in Paterson ior
stealing from a Lackawanna frel8ht
car and was sent to the reformatory
ON June a, 1910. After five months ne
was paroled, but was shortly AFTER
ward rearrested and sent back. linen
the authorities discovered that ne as
played symptoms of insanity, ana ne
was finally committed to the state
Hospital. :.
According to the custom OF the IN.
stitution, Wall was bathed on las'
Wednesday, and the cell which ne oG-
cupied was given a thorough search
for contraband articles. 1t is certain,
according to the officials, that he nao
no weapon at that time. The following
day he was visited by two men, VINO
are suspected of having furnished MN
with the revolver, and also with
screw driver, which he used to un-
fasten the lower sash Of WINDOW IN
one of the rooms. =,
Owing to the crowded condition OF
the hospital, Wall was taken from MS
cell yesterday and quartered with
twenty-five other supposedly harmless
patients in a general ward.
At 5 o'clock this morning Edward
Carroll, the night guard, discovered
that the cot assigned to Wall was va
cant and notified Collins. The two
men began a search for the missing
convict, and finally discovered Wall
crouching under the bed of another pa
tient. He made no resistance when
taken back to mis- bed, but shortly al
terward his cot was again vacant.
This time it was found that win
dow in the room had been pried open.
Carroll and Collins were examining
the window, when they heard from be-
hind the curb a command, Hands up"
Collins wheeled, and found Wall con-
fronting him with a revolver. AS he
leaped the mailman fired, and the bull
let lodged in the keepers breast. Car
roll then sprang upon the insane as
sailant and bore him to the ground,
after which he was speedily disarmed
and subdued, with the assistance of
several other attendants, who had been
attracted by the report of the shot.
Collins was carried into his room.
At a late hour tonight no hope was
entertained for his recovery.
Detectives are searching for the two
men who visited Wall. Their identity
is known, and it is expected that they
will be arrested within the next TWEEN
ty-four hours.

MOUNTAIN CARS STOP
Electric Company Cuts Off
Power and Many Climb.

West Orange, ~ j., June 28.-For the
first time since the road was built, six
years ago, the Orange Mountain Troll
ley Company did not operate its line
to-day. The power was shut off by
the Public Service Company, because of
debts for current.
There are many homes on the noun
tain, and the owners will have to walk
miles to a train or trolley. Frank
Brewer, vice president of the road, said
to-day that it had been a losing venture
from the start and that its inability to
obtain a more convenient terminal
would mean the abandoning of the sys-
TEN.
Several months ago a franchise was
passed on first reading giving the com
pany the privilege of extending its line
along Central av., Orange, to permit
the discharge of passengers near the
Lackawanna Railroad. The Public Ser
vice Company. learning of this, put in
a bid for a franchise, and the Town
Council has favored the larger corpo-
ration.

with black soil, the remains of ancient
charcoal fires.
In view of the fact that the place
was so secluded, the presence of pot

SANDWICH AID

Suffragists Will Sell Food, In
stead of Flowers, All
This Week.

The suffragists are going after votes
with sandwiches this week. Last week
il was roses. The change is due to the
fact that, while Broadway liked the
flowers, it was on Mrs. James Lees
Laidlaw's dainty homemade sandwiches
that the crowd cast envious eyes.
Since Mrs. Laidlaw was going to a
committee meeting Immediately after
the flower market, she had no time to
eat luncheon in the regular manner,
and she had brought with her from
home a neat little parcel of sandwiches.
She ate these as she made change for
the stenographers and brokers who
came 20 buy flowers. The spectacle
was too much for one clearinghouse
victim.

sandwiches for sale? I'd lots rather
have them than flowers"
Notice is hereby given to that hungry
youth TO be at Broadway and Park
place tomorrow at noon and get all
the homemade sandwiches he wants.
There will be sandwiches for all tastes,
ham and corned beef for the men. and
cream cheese and lettuce for those
with ladylike appetites.

$5OO,OOO FIRE
IS LAID TO PLOT
Stove Plant at Dover, N. j.,
Destroyed-Threat Sent
to Treasurer.

Dover. n. j.. June 29.-The thirty
acre plant of the Richardson & Boyn-
ton Company. manufacturers of stoves
and ranges, excepting the shipping de-
partment building, was destroyed by
fire, supposedly of incendiary origin,
to-day. The loss is 100000.
Eleven hundred men were employed
there before the works were shut
down. temporarily, three weeks ago, on
account of the heat and for repairs.
Charles Heller, night Waterman,
SAYS he made the rounds of the works
at 6:30 o'clock this morning and found
everything all right. At 1880 he saw
smoke issuing from the trimming shop.
Men who were in the street say they
saw flames start from three or four
separate places.
Dover's volunteer fire department
answered the general alarm promptly.
The buildings were Of wood, except
ing the shipping building, which is Of
concrete. The flames spread rapidly
in the casting and cleaning, mounting,
boiler, patent filing, drill, tress and
patternmakers' shops, each in sepa-
rate building.
Three Lackawanna Railroad box cars
in the yard near the shipping building
were burned. All the finished stock on
hand was in the shipping building.
For an hour or more there was fear
the flames might spread. The fremen
successfully defended the nearest
buildings, despite the fact that the
water pressure was inadequate
W. l.. r. Lynd, secretary and treas
urer, said he could not account for the
fire. The engines in the plant, he as
serted, had been cold since the shut
down.
Mr. Lynd, who is the Mayor of Dover,
recently received a threatening letter,
demanding he should prevent the deliv-
cry of the Slattery antiCatholic lect-
ures.
He declined to interfere and the
lectures were delivered on May I5
and 16.
