$4,000 WILSON PICTURE
PAYS 5000 FOOD BILL
Owner Urged to Let Portrait Go
Before Another Slump.

Just how much the value Of por-
trait may depend upon the popularity
OF the sitter is the nice problem Of
art and commerce that was passed
upon by Judge John r. Davies, Of the
7th District Municipal Court.
When Augustus Langenberg painted
picture Of Woodrow Wilson, shortly
after his nomination for President. the
portrait was classified as a SO 600 as
Sc. Of the artist. But that was when
the popularity Of the President was at
its height. Yesterday, after experts
had discussed every phase Of a por-
traits value. ranging from its artistic
worth to the status Of the original,
Judge Davies permitted 1t to be
knocked down 70 cover a $500 caterers
bill held by Paul Meschke, Of 29li
Heath Street.
Judge Davies didn't attempt to pose
as political prognosticator, but
we'll. he thought the estate of the late
artist should accept the 5000 while Il
could.

ST. CYRS MAY SAIL
FOR EUROPE SOON
Welcome Any Refugc That
Would Conceal Them,
Friend Says.

Philadelphia, Feb. 15.--Jesn Hsrald
EDWARD St. Cyr upset the rumors that
be and his wife, the widow Of "Silent"
Smith, has separated By quietly rejoln-
ing Mrs. St. Cyr at the bellevue-Stret-
ford Hotel this afternoon.
ST. Cyr, who is alleged TO be Jack
Thompson, Of Waco, Tex. would give
no explanation Of his mysterious visit
10 Washington. One rumOr had II that
the trip was for the purpose OF obtain
ing passports so that he could go 20
France and get evidence that would
for all tine silence his accUsers and
establish his right 20 the name Of 81.
Cyr Another version was that Sir
and Mrs. st. Cyr were going 70 shake
the dust Of the United States from
their feet and live in England.
Early In the day Mrs. ST Cyr was
visited by an elderly woman, said TO Ue
a friend from New York. She did not
leave until late this afternoon. From
this visitor IL was learned that Mrs:
st. Cyr has been very much annoyed
by the persisten. rumors which have
been circulated 20 tho effect that the
st. Cyrs would separate.
FolAeCl tAAoSo
and Mrs. 81. Cyr," she declared. She
said Mrs. ST. Cyr had been very much
disturbed By the persecution Of her
husband and would welcome any refuge
that would conceal them from the pub
lie. This assertion leads many to be-
leve that the s.. Cyrs will leave for
Europe as soon as Louis S. Levy, their
New York attorney. completes arrange
ments for libel suit soon TO be filed.
St. Cyr's attorneys, Stnnchheld &
Levy, gave out this statement yester-
day:
"The r.por. that Mr and Mrs. St.
Cyr have separated Is absolutely base
less. as is the story Of any pecuniary
settlement between them. Mr.. 81. Cyr
went 20 Washington yesterday for
few hours on personal business. He
returned 20 Philadelphia and re!oined
Mrs St. Cyr the same evening. The
press reports OF that episode are fair
sample Of the in:r~racy of the other
stories that hav. cared respecting

other point brough. out BY Mr.. Rob.
erts was that the work which childrel
do cannot be learned by any adult. IN
work requires supple fingers, Mr. Rob
erts said. and unless the art is acquired
while the worker is young IT IS impos-
siblc to become proficient. Hence,
children were taken out of the cotton
mills under the Federal law, the South 5
supply of skilled labor would be seri-
ously reduced.
Later, in discussing the matter OF
wages, Mr.. Roberts stated that, no
adults were employed in spinning or
doi'ing (the occupations in which the
children engage because such work did
not pay enough and was too trivial.
Just what the twelve and fourteen-year-
old spnncrs arc being trained for, II
they are not employed in the spinning
room when they are older, was not
made clear 70 the friends of the bill.
In explaining that "the cotton mills
have done more for their employees than
any other class Of people that ever
lived" Mr.. Roberts compared them with
the modern movement for manual and
vocational education. and declared that
the cotton mills were the greatest
practical application Of it in the coun-
try"
Mr.. Davis, OF the Newbury Mills, in
South Carolina, followed Mr.. Roberts
and said that, If his work consisted
only in the practical management OF
the mill, he would give it up. but it was
the humane thought OF doing some
thing for those who were unable 20 help
themselves" That made him feel that
the work he was doing was really worth
while
Object to Eight-Hour Clause.
Mr.. Davis pointed out that the Dis
trict of Columbia as we'll as the South
ern States believed in work for boys
under sixteen, because he had seen
many Of them around the Senate under
that age. Throughout the testimony
Of the witnesses, members of the SEN
ate committee endeavored 10 discover
on what their objections 20 the bill
under discussion were based. It was
apparent that none Of them objected
seriously 10 the fourteen-year limit, but
that they were convinced that the
eight-hour day for children under six
teen. which is provided for in the bill,
would throw ell children under sixteen
out Of the mills.
They were unanimous in declaring
that it was impossible to employ adults
for ten hours day and children for
eight hours. When it was suggested
that Massachusetts,. Ohio and New York
had found il practicable to employ
children on shifts Of eight hours while
the adults were employed for nine or
ten hours. they answered that what
was possible in one part Of the country
was not possible in another and that
it was "impossible" TO do in the South
ern mills what the Northern mills are
doing successfully for reasons that
could not be explained to men not
familiar with the operation OF mill.
Tho opposition was unable 70 COM
plete its testimony to-day. and the
hearing was adjourned until to-mor-
row. when the constitutional side Of
the question will be discussed.

ner Murphy, OF Alabama, said fifteen
years ago that, according to the mill
owners, the cotton mills OF the South

resorts, colleges and a trip to Europe
all in ono. Tho testimony brought
forward to-day at the hearing on the
Federal child labor bill before the Sen
ate Committee on Interstate Commerce
would tend 10 prove that this idea
still persists in the cotton mill mems
minds.
Only the opponents Of the bill we're
heard to-day, and the striking fact
abou, them was that they were all
from South Carolina, with the excep-
tion Of one man from Alabama. At
the hearing on the bill before the
House committee last month practi-
cally all the opponents OF the bill were
North Carolina mill men.
