x~T HEN John d. Rockefeller entered
VA the ranks of the art collectors,
he naturally wanted something
ut to be owned by the richest man in the
world. and SO he purchased a little statue
that purports TO be carved by Praxiteles,
who was. OF course the most dis
tinguished sculptor that ever lived.
After nearly $500 years OF the most ex-
citing and romantic adventures ever ex.

Mr.. Rockefeller Is understood TO have
paid s60,0ao for his statue, since that is

the work of Praxiteles, but there are
some like the celebrated "Hermes and
Bacchus" that have a somewhat more
convincing pedigree than the Rockefeller
Venus.
Whatever the artistic merits of this
statue, II has probably more entertain
Ing and interesting history than any of
its more authentic rivals. Not the least
interesting popularity OF the lady is her
ye!!owish-hrown tint, which has caused
her 10 be called THE Chocolate Venus"
The theory OF the origin OF this remark

The statue attracted much attention
once before in the United States. That
was when il was exhibited at the Natural
Arts Club in New York in 1905. There
was then most excited discussion about
us authenticity. Some maintained that
II bore all the evidences of being an
original Grecan work of the age Of
PraX!teles, while others asserted that it
was clearly clumsy attempt to COPY

stewart Linton, an art connoisSeur,
While it was on exhibition curious con.
troversy other than artistic arose over a.
Charles Edward Goodman, an artist, de.
clared that the statue was exactly like
one bought at sale by friend of his
years previously and boiled in chemicals
TO remove marks of charring upon it,
FROM another source It was learned
that few years before the exhibition at
the National Arts Club there was a col
lection of art objects valued at 81, 500 900
stored In New York storage warehouse
In the name Of Adolphus F. Linton, com
monty called Lord Adolphus Linton"
although the peerage recognizes no
person with that title. The existence OF
this art collection became known when
an Omaha lawyer obtained a judgment
for $4,000 against Linton and seized the
collection to satisfy 1t. Reference was
then made to the romantic marriage of
Lord Adolphus" with an Ohio heiress
and 1t was said that the rea son he could
not satisfy the Judgment was that he was
travelling In Italy. The mysterious
Lord Adolphus" has disappeared from
view since then, and it has been sug.
gested that Charles Stewart Linton IS his
son.
Among the art objects in the storage
warehouse WAS statue described as
certified to be the work of Pra5i-
leleS' mere were also what purpOrted
to be portrait OF the Duchess OF Kent,
by Gainsborough. and other works in the
collection that should have had great
value. The collection was put up at
auction and brought 500, and after all
expenses were paid there remained $50
for the claimant
Still another complication in the his
tory of the Venus occurred while It was
on exhibition at the Arts Club. George
H. Story, acting director of the Metro
politan Museum OF Art. declared that the
statue had been offered for loan to the
museum twelve years before-in 1892
and rejected by him az not authentic.
Mr.. Linton then defended his statue
warmly against Mr.. Goodman and other
critics.
1.-THE suggestion of Mr.. Goodman Ia
absurd SO far as It tends to identity this
marble figure with the one he describes"
he said. Il bought 1t in 1891 from the
deck of an Itali>- Vessel lying in the
Thames,
