Francia's "Madonna and Child"

BOLOGNA, Italy. Aug. 2S (delayed) -
It has been discovered that Francesca
Francia's masterpiece THE Madonna
and Child" has been stolen from the
Academia di Belle Arti and that a
colored photograph OF the picture was
substituted in place OF the original paint
ing. An employee in the gallery found
that the photograph had been pasted in
the frame SO as to conceal the theft.
This masterpiece dates back to the If
teenth century.
A thorough investigation is being made
by police authorities, who suspect visi-
tors In the gallery last Sunday. The
names OF those under suspicion have
been secured, according to the police.
The picture referred to in the forego-
ing is probably that painted by Fran
cesco Francia In the latter part OF the
fifteenth century. showing a three-quar-
ter figure of the Madonna holding the
Child In her arms and st. Francis at the

Producers Favor Packers.

Most of the testimony taken during
the last week from producers has been
highly favorable to packers" Senator
Grona North Dakota), Republican
pointed out to r. p Meyers of Hyannis.
'Neb. land we are hearing n good deal
about the possibility that the packers
might have induced you all to come
Did anybody pay your expenses or do
anything else TO get you to come down
here for them?"
I'm not in favor of the packers" Mr.
Meyers retorted. I'm speaking In my
own interest. Cripple the packing bust
ness, license It. and add to its cost of
operatine. and YOU hit me. because the
excess cost will have to come out OF the
producer"
A f. Smryker. secretary of the Omaha
Live Stock Exchange. said that he met
hundreds of shippers every week, and
never heard one word in favor of any
scheme of broadening Government con-
troll over the industry" He estimated
that independent packers bought 75O,-
900 hogs out OF 100000 shipped to the
yards last year.

TAMMANY LEADERS
URGED NEWBURGER
Wigwam Lawyers Signed JUS
tees Petition, Despite Muir
phys Reputation.
ATTACK Is A BOOMERANG
Schneider Shows Old Age Is
Not Always Bar-Facts
Incorrectly Stated.

Friends OF Justice Joseph e. New
yesterday when they learned OF the at
tack on his record that the Tammany
Hall executive compittee had issued as
an official document.
They were indignant because OF what
they declared to be the unfair and mis-
leading statements made, but pleased
because 1t was clear indication to
them that Tammany really was fright
ened over the situation caused by the
blunder Of Charles F. Murphy. That
the attack would prove boomerang
and aid rather than injure the candi-
dacy of the Justice, who was turned
down in favor of the thirty-three-year-
old son of Samuel Untermyer. was the
opinion of those who are working to up
hold the principle of non-partisanship
in the denomination of Justices.
Referring to the Tammany "explana-
ton" as to why denomination was re-
fused to one of its own members, Will
lam F. Schneider. County Clerk, inquired
yesterday IL the alleged bad record OF
Justice Newburger was not known to
the prominent Tammany lawyers whose
names appeared on the petition issued
by the Bar Association putting the Jus
tice into the Democratic primaries.
Tammnnyites for Newburger.
AT the head of that committee" the
County Clerk said, Il find the name of
James A. Foley, Tammany's candidate
for Surrogate; John Godfrey SAKE,
chairman of the Tammany law COM
mittee; Morgan J. O'Brien, former pre-
siding Justice Of the Appellate Division
of the Supreme Court; James A OGor-
man, former associate of Justice New
burger on the Supreme Court bench
David Leventritt. De Lancey Nlcoll and
John b. Stanchfield, gentlemen whose
'agal attachments and wide knowledge
OF ne law entitle their Endorsement 10
OF the city. They must have known OF
the legal capabilities Of Justice New
burger, for they have practised before
him for many years"
The table showing the number OF
times that Justice Newburger had been
reversed was unfair, the County Clerk
said. and the number was infinItesimal
considering that the Justice had pre-
sided over 5000 trials and passed on
over 10000 motions.
They speak of reimbursement OF
Tammany Judges by the Republican
party" continued Mr.. Schneider. "In
1892 the Republicans Endorsed Justice
Gieyerich, a Tammany Judge; in 1901
Morgan ]. O'Brien, in 1905 Justice New
burger, again in 1905 Justice Giegerich

Mayor Accuses Commissioner.

The Mayor charged the Commissioner
With overriding not only the Board Of
Estimate but also a previous decision
of the Public Service Commission in the
matter. Then the Mayor proceeded to
draw up the following indictment against
the Commissioner and threaten him with
being reported to the Governor unless
he reversed himself:
II therefore call you attention to the
fact that you have issued an order by
which you are attempting to increase the
fare of the New York and North Shore
Traction Company within the city limits
OF New York without the consent of the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment
THAT you assumed an authority that
was not vested in you by law in that
you made an order attempting to vlo-
late the terms and provisions of con-
tract entered into between the New York
and North Shore Traction Company and
the municipality Of the city Of New
York;
THAT you Illegally and in derogation
Of the rights OF the people OF the city
Of New York attempted to override the
action of the Board of Estimate and
Apportlonment of the city OF New York
without authority of law;
THAT you have taken such action in
direct opposition to ruling of the Court
OF Appeals OF the State of New York to
the effect that the commission has no
power to raise fares.
las Mayor of the city OF New York.
request you to revoke and set aside
this order for the reasons above set
forth. If this request made by me as
Mayor acting for the people of the city
OF New York is not complied with
shall feel that 1 would be remiss in my
duty to the people OF the city of New
York II did not Immediately call your
action to the attention of the Governor
of the State OF New York"
When he took office Commissioner
Nixon expressed the belief that he could
work in harmony with Mayor Hylan
and other members of the Board OF Es-
innate in relieving the transit situation
in the city. They have steadily been
drifting apart and now there is no hope
for anything except bitter warfare be-
tween the two officials.

Mayor Quotes Penal Code.


Mayor Quotes Penal Code.
After quoting Section 1856 of the
penal law, which makes IL misde-
meanor for a public official to disobey
the law governing the conduct of his
office, the Mayor wrote:
IT hereby request you to consider II
more summary action cannot be taken
to protect the public against this I'M
lawful order. call to your attention that
under Section &c of the Public Service
Commissions law any charge made by
street railroad corporation in excess
of the amount allowed by law is pro-
hibited"
Further. the Mayor called attention to
the law that states that any railroad
corporation which violates the law shall
forfeit to the people of the State not to
exceed $4,000 for each offense. He
quoted the statute that provides that
any officer of corporation who violates
the public service act shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor.
THE New York and North Shore

officers" he continued, "must therefore
know that Commissioner Nlxon's order
is void and confers no real authority
upon them TO charge more than a five

FIVE cent fare they do so at their peril
Il request that you give notice to the
company Immediately not to increase the
fare over these lines under the order
| issued by Commissioner Nixon. Pro-
coed In this case and protect the inter-
ests of the travelling public with the
| same energy as you have in all other
matters"
In his letter to Commissioner Nixon
| Mayor Hylan charged that he had
granted the fare increase without notice
to the city. and added:
I'm defiance Of law, you have ordered
| change in the terms OF the contract be
| tween the people OF the city of New
York and the North Shore Traction
| Company, notwithstanding the ruling of
the Court of Appeals that your commits
sion has no right to raise fares Should
the order issued by you increasing fares
be permitted to stand nothing would
prevent you from issuing orders increas-
ing the fares to eight. ten or fifteen cents
IN the other lines in the city who are
held by contract to a Ave cent fare with

was made several years ago to acquire
the old house in which President
James Monroe died. The project never

The old house, one Of the archaic
structures in the city, and much the
