Deer Is Caught Fast in
Ice in Trinity River

Chico.-E. N. Todd, a stock.
man near Paulsen ranch, reports
catching a forked-horn deer that
was held ieebound In the middle
Of the Trinity river.
Todd believes the deer was
chased by coyotes and ran out on
the. ice, breaking through when
near the middle of the stream.
The deer could not get out and
was frozen In during the night,
leaving only its head and a part
of its. back above the ice.
The deer was pulled out and
taken to a stable, where it is re-.
covering from the effects of the
cold. Todd will give the buck an
earmark and brand before turn
ing it loose.

JAZZ MUSIC NOT A NUISANCE
Los Angeles County Judge Refuses to
Give Relief to Disturbed
Nerves.

Los Angeles. Cal.-Jazz music is
not a nuisance, according to,a decision
by Judge Lewis R. Works, in the Los
Angeles county superior court. The
city of Pasadena had brought suit
against a social club, whose %neighbors
complained its jazz music "jarred on
their nerves."
"Once jazz music might have been
construed as a nuisance" Judge Works
said. 1T Is no longer so construed.
If the music disturbed the residents of
the neighborhood, l am sorry, but this
court cannot give them relief"

I760,000,000 Is Realized on U.
S. Stuff in France.
Value Of Entire Property 10 Estimated
at $1,7o0,o00,000 by General
Conner. .

Antwerp.-The sum Of $780, 900
was realized from the sale of Ameri-
can stocks remaining in France after
the departure of the American army,
said Brig. Gen. w. D. Conner, chief
Of staff of the American department
Of supply. He estimated the value
Of the stocks at 81, zoe, 100000. and de-
clared it would have cost $75,O00.000
to take them back to America.
Had they been retailed in various
countries great losses would have been
entailed, as the expense would have
been heavy, he said.
France paid 100000, 900 for
stocks it took over, while other allies
and smaller nations purchased sup
plies for $500, 900, 900. As an offset
against the stocks bought by France
that country undertook to pay damage
claims amounting to several million
dollars as a result of American opera
tons In training areas. When the
American army went to France it was
agreed that farms and buildings used
by 1t in training would be left in the
same condition as found. Miles of
trenches were dug and buildings were
demolished and American forces were
rushed into Germany before the land
could be restored to it's former condi-
ton.
General Connor again denied the
old story that the French made the
American army pay for the trenches
1t occupied in France.
1.-THE whole TRUTH" he said, lis that
the American army has not paid a
cent for any ground used or for any,
thing destroyed at the front.
General Conner sailed on the liner
Lapland, which was the first ocean
passenger steamer to clear from Ant
werp for America since August, 1914.
There were $50 passengers. including
Henry D. Morgan, American consul
general at Brussels, and Mrs. Morgan.
Just before Mr.. Morgan left the cap
ital he was received In special audi
ence by King Albert.

steady, well-disciplined talent which by
itself Is half the balance. He handles

relies upon his technique. There is no
fumbling. There are no uncertain
passages. The figure is always ade-
quately drawn, the brushwork is direct
and spirited. Over all there is flung
the atmosphere Of an individualized

"Portrait Of My Mother" his feeling
for the subject would seem to have
communicated an unusual suavity to
his brush. The fine blacks are most
delicately modulated. Amongst the more
recent paintings there are number Of
Southern studies, open air subjects

new and vitalizing luminosity.
An American artist whose work Is
too seldom recalled upon the scene,
the latc Frederic Remington, is brought
back to US at the new Levy Gallery.
Six Of his pictures are there, passages
from that life upon the Western plains
for which he had an unquenchable en-
thusiasm. Remington had just the
vivacity needed for the sympathetic in
terpretation Of cowboys and the like.
The binding light of the prairie affect
ed his palette. These impressions Of
his are sometimes bit garish. But
there returns here, to remind us OF a
memorable period in his career, one OF
those night studies In which he struck
new trail. "The Call for Help" this
one Is called, picture Of horses as
sailed In their corral by wolves. The
light cleaning from the cabin window
near at hand brings human element
into the little drama. For 1t Is

The Status of
Renoir and Monet

The latest sensation in the matter Of
prices for works Of art is providedeby
tho latest record Of the French I'm
pressionists in tho auction room. Re-
noir's recent death accounts to some
extent, Of course, for the prices paid
for his works at the sale held by the
American Art Association at the Plaza
on Wednesday night. One of his pic
lures, "Dans la Prairie." fetched $685.
600. Another, the beautiful "Canotiers
q Chaton," was sold for $4,000. De-
cidedly his status in tho market has
gone up. Monet's remains about where
it was. II ono may Judge from the
fortune Of the individual picture,
though in round figures he would
seem to have made a great advance.
His works have for years Jared we'll at
auction. In January, 1917, at the dis
persal Of the James F. Sutton collec-
ton, his fine examples reused eager
competition. Two of them, the "Vue
de Bordighera," at $4,000, and the
"Seine & Besancourt en- Hiver," at
$4,000, led procession in which there
was one item Of $1o,5o0, another Of
$4,000 and so on through an impress
sive list The twenty-four pictures
brought altogether about 1922, 900. In
Wednesday nights sale the highest
price paid for Monet was $14,10O,
given by the Knoedlers for one Of the
Thames studies, but his average was
strongly sustained and the twenty
seven examples brought to taT Of over
100000.
How times have; changed in quarter
of a century! A tremendous. lot of
water has gone under the bridge since
Durand-Ruel made his famous exhibi-
ton in the Venetian palace Of the
Acamedy Of Design on Twenty-third
Street and half the visitors who saw it
came away merely bewildered by the
impressionistic hypothesis. Monet is
classic now and American collectors
are ten times wiser and moro numer-
Gus than they were then. The moral
is that master cannot fail because
he Is temporarily misunderstood. On
the other hand, nothing could be more
specious than the inference which we
can imagine a cubist drawing from
this affairs, the inference that cubism
may triumph as impressionism has
triumphed. The error Of one genera
tion does not necessarily falsify every
adverse judgement pronounced by an
other. With such logic it would be
about as reasonable to argue that be-
cause it was wrong to burn Joan Of
Goldman.

American Artists,
Grouped and Alone

The group exhibition, now become an
annual feature at tho Macbeth Gal
lery, is this year worthy Of 1ts prede-
cessors. Thirty paintings by thirty
Americans are hung. They arc friend
ly, delightful pictures, wisely chosen
for their intrinsic merits, though a
certain thoughtful hospitality to dif-
ferent current tendencies IL shown in
the selection. A conspicuous place Is
given to a commanding exemplar Of
pure beauty, Mr.. T. w. Dewing, whose
"Lady in Pink" has a dual interest.
This harmony in rose and ivory is one
Of his characteristic studies Of the

charm. Furthermore, 1t is painted on

In one of the upper rooms at the
Knoedler Gallery there is an enter
tanning exhibition of originals drawn
for "Harper's Bazar," by Drian,
craftsman in black and white, and
Roman de Tirtoff, the Parisianized
Russian, who is better known by his
pen name of "Erte." They are very
clever and gay, between them. Drian
is the bolder and broader of the two,
little closer to reality. His blacks
are deftly distributed. "In Ny Stu
dio" is stunning drawing. "Ert6" Is
one more man of fantasy, designer
akin to Aubrey Beardsley. He works
in color, and though his drawings are
sometimes little sugary they are, on
the whole, very sprightly and deco
rative-the sort of drawings to make
a magazine cover amusingly clamorous.
His style is highly polished. 1t Is so
with all these fantastical drafts

wants moments repose after wit
Messing such artistic pyrotechnics may
find it in another little show at the
Knoeder Gallery-one of portraits by
Robert Nanteuil, that classic Of old
French engraving.
Painters of the portraits Of children
seldom are so successful in blending the
charm of their subject with technical
ability as is Mrs. Mary Young Hunter,
the English artist now making an ex-
hibition at the Enrich Gallery. Por-
traits in this category are often merely
pretty. These are Of more serious in
terest. The full length of one of Mrs.
Hooker's children, the "Blanchette," IL
both winning image of girlhood and
a first rate bit Of craftsmanship. Some
of the portraits here are more studied
than others, and not altogether to their
advantage. Mrs. Young Hunter is at
her best when she uses an almost
careless freedom, seizes a momentary
impression and filings it on the canvas
with easy, spontaneous brushwork.
The "Rosamond Pinchot," for example,
is in the vein which is most favorable
to the revelation of her talent. Her
workmanlike canvases should make her
a popular visitor.
There is a striking group Of large
pastel portraits now to be seen at the
Anderson Galleries. They were pro-
duced by Mr.. Walter Beck, an Ohioan,
whose studies abroad were influenced
by the masterpieces of Halls, Rubens
and Van Dyck. He has won some re-
pute as painter Of religious subjects,
but the present display is confined to
the portraits of a number of veterans
of the Civil War. They are little too
emphatic in color and disclose an
aggressive, vigorous quality little at
odds with the genius Of the fragile
medium employed. Yet their vitality
is beyond question. The renowned

Colonel Mosby is the leading hero por-
trayed, but there are numerous other
fighters of the period who are hardly
less interesting as Mr.. Beck presents
them. He has put his forceful adroit-
ness at the service of an enkindling
patriotic motive.
Two more collections were placed
on view at the American Art Galleries
yesterday. One, formed chiefly of the
modern paintings assembled by Mrs.
Roland G. Lincoln, will be sold at the
Plaza on the evening of January %.

Pierres de France" as the catalogue
designates them. The general title Is
aptly chosen. He has traversed not
only wellworn paths in Paris and on
the Riviera, but has sought out the old
stones Of France in obscure villages
and amongst some of the most pictur-
esque chateaux of the countryside. His
method is not wholly ingratiating. The
draughtsmanship in many Of the essen
TALLY architectural subjects is trife
hard. He states all the facts where
one would like him to be little more
freely suggestive. A broader play of
light and shade, softening his linear
passages, would be welcome improve
mont. But even in the absence Of this
we enjoy his towers and turrets, his
tiled roofs and capricious skylines, his
old bridges and his altogether roman
tic properties. There is no hint Of the
war in his panorama. He places before
US ancient, untroubled France, the
France which composes itself into en-
chanting pictures. He makes a good
spokesman for It's charm.
Also at the Reinhardt Gallery there
are a number Of drypoints by Mr..
Nicholas P. Zarokilli, who, in paren-
thesis, Is made known to US as "Niko-
laki." He Ia a virtuoso in portraiture,
a virtuoso Of the type Of Helleu. There
are, indeed, amongst his studies of fem
inine personalities, some plates which
the celebrated French artist could not
afford to disdain. Mr.. Zarokilli has the
light elegance Of his prototype, knows
what to omit, knows how to make q
single line tell and altogether wesves
astonishingly graceful and decorative
patterns. He has wider scope than
we associate with the name Of Helleu.
Beside the fashionable frou frou Of his
portraits of women he shows many
portraits Of men, simpler in style, and,
on the whole, bolder, weightier in
construction.

having accepted his limitations, you
apprehend with something like sest the

ages to express. His line, as etched

There has been arranged at the Kep-
pei Gallery an exhibition in memory Of
Auguste Lepere, who died in November,
1913, one Of the most engaging figures
IN tho whole history Of the graphic arts
IN France. His original and charming
work as wood engraver is represent
ed; there Is one of his Autographs
shown, but the show at large-running
to threescore plates and more-is
dedicated to his genius as an either.
He had genius. There is superb crafts
manship in what he did, but, in addi-
tion to that, there is the quality which
only man Of Imagination, of true in
spiration, brings to his task. In any
French artist of the higher grade there
Is the hint of the classicist, the echo Of
tradition. In some Of Lepere's land
scapes he seems the inheritor Of Claude
and Poussin, the builder Of sylvan COM
positions breathing half Of nature and
half Of an antique vision. On other
occasions he recalls the feathery charm
Of Fragonard, the Frago Of certain
Italian villa scenes. More often he is
saturated in the very dews Of his native
land, French to the core Of him, French
with sweetness more precious even
than his mastery technique. Lepere
was as varied as he was prolific. This
exhibition illustrates many phases of
his art. They are. all beautiful. That
was his great achievement, beauty
founded on truth and family poetized
By his fine temperament.
It is exciting to learn that the Lepere
prints are. to be followed in the near
future at the Keppel Gallery by an ex-
hibition Of the etchings Of Besnard.
He is perhaps the most brilliant Of
contemporary French artists and his
plates need to be made better known
in this country.
