Discount Rata Rumors

Private advices received in broker
age circles from Washington yester-
day intimated that the Federal Reserve
Board would shortly announce policy
of further relaxation with regard 70
credits. It was also hinted that the
local Federal Reserve Bank would
lower it's discount rate in the near
future. There has been persistent
rumor to this effect for a fortnight,
and it appears to be based upon the
expression Of opinion by members Of
the banking community that credit con-
ditions have sufficiently improved
since the first Of the year to warrant
lower discounts. In the commercial
paper market some borrowers whose
credit in sterling are obtaining credit
on 6 " per cent basis, but the mar
ket generally ranges from 67s to III
per cent, according to money lenders.

DENIES EXAMINATION
OF KINGDOM GOULD
Court Believes Application
Not in Good Faith.

Justice Edward r. Finch in the Su-

cation for examination OF Kingdom
Gould before trial of the 100000 sui;
for alleged breach of promise TO marry
brought against him by Mrs. Richard
Blum OF Arkville. N. Y. Justice Finch
said that he did not believe the applica-
ton was made in good faith but to OBJ
tain evidence before the action was
brought to trial.
ct is clear" said Justice Finch. that
the promise to marry made while size
was the wife of another man is void as
against public policy. and that such al
legged promise cannot sustain either re-
covery for breach thereof or be used as
a basis for special damage"
Mrs Blum alleges that Mr.. Gould
promised to marry her after she had OBJ
tanned divorce from DR.. Richard Blum.
Mr.. Gould later married Miss Annunzt-
alta Camilla Lucci.

REWARD OFFERED
FOR THE BARNYARD'
Painting Has Been Missing
Since November, PrOba-
bly, in Transit.

The offer of reward of $500 by E. b.
Hopwood, an insurance broker of SO
John street, for the recovery of THE
Barnyard," an oil painting by A. p.
Ryder. A. n. A. revealed yesterday the
fact that IL was lost or stolen last
November either in Washington or New
York or In transit between the two
cities. The picture was valued at
$4,000 and was insured for $1,000.
THE Barnyard" was one of a ship
ment of twenty-five paintings belonging
to Duncan c. Phillips of Washington,
which were being sent here for an eX-
hibition at the Century Club from No
vember 20 to December 20. All of the
others arrived safely. The shipment
was valued at s1Ss,500 and it included
one of George Inness's most famous
paintings. Moonlight, Tarpon Springs"
valued at $4,000; two pictures by
Claude Monet David Cox's storm in
Wales" and another Ryder picture,
Macbeth and the Witches"
The pictures are eventually to be
housed in the Duncan c. Phillips Me-
mortal Art Gallery. which is being erect
ed in Connecticut avenue in Washington.
Until it is completed Mr.. Phillips's arr
treasures are being kept in the vaults or

shown at the Century Club exhibit, and
the warehouse records show they were
packed on November 4.
The exact date that they were bundled
into an automobile van and started for
New York Is not known. but Mr.. Bud
worth thinks he received them November
is. The loss of THE Barnyard" was not
discovered until the others were being

It is the theory of those who have been
working on the case that THE Barn

the night it spent at the garage before
the rest of the shipment was delivered
at the Budworth establishment the next
morning.

upon. however.

of wax candles. These
were decorative enough
and very gay, but gave
comparatively little light,
so that Venetian artist
cabinet-makers of the
period designed thousands
of beautiful mirrors that
were used as decorations
on the walls and caught
and reflected the light, and
multiplied the feeble lights
from the candles and made
the great Salons amaz-
ingly brilliant.
The mirrors in the col
lection from the Palazzo
Carminati, now on exhibit
ton and sale Al Qua
trieme, are excellent and
remarkably fine specimens
Of this period.
Six little mirrors that now
hang in the Pink Salons are of
the Louis XIV. roccoco period.
They are in carved and gilded
frames of typical XIV. Italian
outline with the old glass
broken into interesting shapes

enough to hang in a hall, or to
be used as an over-mantel, mas
the glass in two pieces and is
in a beautiful old carved wood
frame, very simple and dis
tinctive; 500. -,
An over-mantel mirror with
the glass in three pieces has
typical Venetian frame of deep
ivory color with painted motifs
in green and rose; price $lSo.
An interesting foot note to
these old Venetian mirrors is
that Venice made the first mir
rors that were used on the
continent. In the Palaces at
Fontaineblcu there hangs be-
hind a door little square of
old mirror, said to be the first
that came to France from
Venice.
The mirrors mentioned here
