Junction City Woman Sues for
Half Million.
New York Art Critic Declared
Picture Not Authentic.
CLAIMED TO Be DA VINCl
Sir Joseph Duveen Declares 1t
Not Masters Work.
Claims Painting in Places Is
Even Clumsy.

New York, Jan. 23.-Sir Joseph Du-
veen Of Duveen Bros, art dealers, to-
day flied his answer to the 100000
damage suit brought against him by
Mrs. Andree Hahn, wife of Capt.
Harry ]. Hahn of Junction City, Kan,
and niece of the Marquis De Cham
bure of Britain.
Mrs. Hahn sued because Duveen
told a reporter for the New York
Ferroniere," a possession of the De
Chambure family, brought to America
bv Mrs. Hahn, is not a genuine Leo
nardo Da Vinci in his opinion.
Sir Joseph admits that La Belle
Ferroniere" is an oil painting repre-
senting a woman who lived in the
time of Leonardo. AS to the assertion
of George Sontais, expert of the
Louvre. that the painting is a Da
Vinci. Sir Joseph denies that Sontais
has the requisite knowledge to sup
port such a statement.
He Gives His Reasons.
Sir Joseph explains the reasoning
on which his opinion was based. The
painting exhibited at Kansas City is
not up TO the standard of Leonardo's
work, he asserts. Da Vinci, he says,
was a great anatomist and a grea
sculptor, as well as a superior painter.
None of his work ever was completed,
dCCOIQIHS 10 Ills SlduQdTUS, the paint
er working it over with infinite atten-
ton to detail and the most exacting
care.
Mrs. Hahn's painting, he asserts,
shows little of this consummate skill
and grasp of the human anatomy that
was fundamental in the work of Leo
nardo. The head is attached to the
shoulders in clumsy fashion, he de-
clares. The flesh below the chin is
not natural; the neck itself is IAN
awkward cylinder of flesh" and the
left profile of the neck is out of de-
sign.
The color effects, he continues, do
not tally with those of the master
there being an absence Of graduations
and nuances of light and color. II
lacks chiaroscuro and the changes
from light to shade are effected VIC
lently.
Lacks Evidence of Careful Work.
The Hahn copy, as Sir Joseph be-
lieves it to be. was executed without
uncertainty or hesitation. whereas
Leonardo's paintings always show evil
dences of his having worked them
over repeatedly to bring out some de-
tail or to perfect some feature which
to his supercritical eye would seem
other than exact.
The alleged copy also lacks the
spiritual power and the spirit of life
of a genuine Leonardo, the local deal
er continues. He names, among 9TH
ers who are said to have examined the
Hahn painting and pronounced it a
copy. Raymond Wyer of the Worces-

Foster Comes From Under
Cover as Propaganda Of
Lenine Red international

the reyolutionizing Of the American
trade unions.
Big business Hopes Same.
The resolution follows:
Not to destroy, but to conquer
the unions. e., the great mass Of
workers Who are still in the old trade
unions--this should be our railying
point in the development of the Iey0-
lutionary trade union movement
=. The task Of the revolutionary ele-
ments in the trade unions
should be to reyolutionize the unions,
to transform them into a weapon Of
social revolution by means Of the
everyday struggle in favor Of all the
revolutionary demands put forward
by the workers within the old trade
unions. To conquer the
unions means to conquer the masses.
The sooner the trade unions
change from pure and simple craft
organizations into revolutionary class
conscious unions, the sooner they
Will reach one form or organization
and one method of fighting. To has
ten this process is the main problem
Of the followers of the Red Labor
international"
The purposes of Foster to destroy
the American labor movement fit pre-
cisely with the purposes OF powerful
financial organizations, though the
ultimate objects of the two may not
harmonic. Their immediate purpose
is identical.

LA TOILETTE SAVES
MILLION EVERY DAY
FOR OIL CONSUMERS
BY Charles NJ. Kelley.

More than a million dollars saved
each day to users of gasoline-that is
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette's latest
contribution to the American people.
1t Is just beginning. What he will
ultimately save them will be determ-
lned When an investigation OF the oil
INDUSTRY now being made by the SEN
ate committee on manufactures, of
which Senator La Toilette is chair
man, has been completed.
Hardly had the investigation start
ed when the oil monopoly announced
reduction of 2 cents a gallon in the
retail price of gasoline. IL is estimat-
ed that the daily consumption is
around 5O,000,000 gallons.
There have also been reductions in
the price of crude and refined oils,
eifectlng additional savings.
II mere threat of publicity is suf-
ficlent to bring the oil monopolists to
terms to the tune of more than a mil
hon dollars day, a full revelation
OF their methods should result in per-
manent benefits that may be almost
lncalculable.
Prices Are Manipulated.
Inc Senate committee is making its
inquiry pursuant to a resolution in
trodueed by Senator La Toilette. AL
ready 1t has developed some amazing
information. For one thing. it has
proven that the price of gasoline
moves up or down at the bidding of
those who control the industry, with
out any regard to the much-adver-
Used law of supply and demand
When the largest stocks in the his
tory of oil production were impound-
ed, the price of gas reached almost
its highest mark.
When production was increasing
the brakes were put upon distribution
and millions of gallons forced into
storage, until storage facilities be-
came inadequate.
The great oil producing and dis
4 trlbuting companies are so closely
allied that it is not possible to tell
where one begins and another ends
When prices are increased by the
Standard they are also increased by
every other company. When there
Is a cut it is uniform in every city
and hamlet in the country.
! Monop0lists Must Explain.
The producers and distributors deny
every suggestion of price fixing, but
they have yet 10 explain to Senator
La Follette's committee these mos
unusual features of their business.

CHOLE ERA RUNS COURSE
Coming OF Cooler Weather
Checks Disease Along volga.
Medical Men With knowledge q
Health Conditions In the Region
Say Death Rate Ranged From
so to rs Per Cent.

Samara.-Cholera has about run its
course along the volga for this year
and, as the weather grows cooler, is
disappearing very rapidly In spite of
the weakened condition of the famine
stricken population and the unsanltary
condition Of impoverished refugees
crowded into camps where there Is
absolute lack Of sanitary precautions.
Vital statistics are lacking, but the
testimony of medical men who have
wide knowledge Of health conditions In
he Valga districts indicates that the
death rate among persons who were
taken with cholera ranged from SO
to rs per cent. This was attributed to
the undernourished condition of the
population and lack of facilities to
treat the malady.
DR.. Emily Burkhardt, a Russian
physician who Is now In the service Of
the American committee for relief In
the Near East, with headquarters In
Tifis, visited the famine area recently
to study the cholera situation.
She Is an expert In the treatment
Of cholera and talked with many physi-
clans and nurses who are battling
with the disease In the famine area.
The testimony of these medical men
and women was that they were help
less because of the lack of beds for
patients and proper facilities for their
treatment.
1.-THE work of the doctors and nurses
has been highly dangerous and hope
less" Doctor Burkhardt said. "Under-
fed doctors and nurses who try to care
for cholera patients without decent
hospitals and every facility for pro.
tecting themselves against the disease
know that they are really rlsking
suicide.
1.-THE greatest guarantee against chol-
era is a stomach filed with properly
prepared food. Proper feeding gen.
crates acid In the stomach, which kills
the cholera germs and makes the at.
tendants immune.
Years ago saw one of my profess
sors at the University OF Moscow drink
a pure culture of cholera germs to
prove that persons who are In good
health and properly fed have acid In
their stomachs which combats the dis
ease. He suffered no III effects.
"The underfed medical men and
women in the famine area undertake
their task with the full knowledge that
they risk death every time they touch
a patient. Their hospitals are not
screened. They have no saline solution
and In most cases haven't the means
for injecting 1t. They are without
medicines and frequently without dis
lnfeetants."

Rv International Labor News Service
Washington, d. &. Aug. Z4.-Tht
charges of Samuel Gompers, pfesiden
of the American Federation Of Labor
that w. Z. Foster is an agent OF the
Communists at Moscow, are substan
tiated BY Foster himself in a signed
article appearing in a bulletin iron
the Executive Committee OF the Rec
Trade Communist International.
The bulletin was published July IL
1922, in Berlin, Germany, and has Jus'
arrived in the United States, being
circulated to the Communist press III

directs, at least in part. The reYolu-
tionary purposes of Foster and his
group are indicated by the following
statement:
Boasts of Disruption.
For the first time in the history
ofthe A. L. Of L. conventions a real
left-wing movement manifested itself.
The number of (left wing) delegates
was pitifully small and their influence
even less. But the tendency they
represented is the only hope Of the
America nlabor movement Ihey are
the only elements with a progressive
program, not to mention a revolution
AIRY program, to offer. All the rest
Is sterility and reaction. The left
wing movement is growing rapidly
throughout the trade unions IN the
United States. The old idea Of start
ing separate revolutionary unions Is
bein gabandoned. Particularly Is this
the case in Canada, where the One Big
Union has been practically hquidatsd
in the past six months and replaced
by the Trade Union Educational
League. Considering the mental
paralysis of the old trade union lead
ers and the servility of their new So
cialist allies, it is safe to say that the
Trade Union Educational League,
with its policy of industrial unionism,
utilization to the Red Trade Union In
ternational, the creation of militant
workers political party and the estab-
lishment of the Workers Republic,
will soon be most powerful element
in the American Labor Movement. In
the United States, the future belongs

CARD MAN WRITES
INTERESTING NOTE
TO KEPT PRESS

A strike usually brings out some
queer things. 1t also is fair
barometer of manhood, and through
it those who have found it necessary
TO cease their work in order to secure
justice find out who is who in the
ranks of organized labor.
Some who have been considered
weaklings in the movement have
proven to be the staunchest unionists
IN times of trouble; others that were
counted upon to take leading part
have proven to be only self concerned
Gardiner, ready and willing to sell
their brothers that they themselves
may find favor with the bosses they
serve.
A notable example of the latter
type of union" men has been brought
to light during the past week. A
Champaign engineer who is too small
in calibre to sign his name to articles
he writes for the kept press, and who
is evidently feathering his nest
should the four big brotherhoods be
brought into the railroad strike, has
taken occasion to tell the world just
where he stands upon the union ques-
itOii. II Is 0etiu ny tlltsC VIM
him best that he is alter better Job
and no doubt figures that anything
he can say in the present crisis az
the expense of organized labor VIII
go long ways In securing the posi-
ton he wants.
He has shown by his actions that he
has carried a card for good many
years-simply for the benefit he could
derive from belonging to the union
and now that he aspires to higher
planes, he condemns the organization
that has protected him and made II
possible to enjoy the privileges and
benefits obtained through years OF
ceaseless effort on the part OF has
former brothers. In fact, he has
traded the respect of his associates
for the prospect of personal gain
something like Esau sold his brother
for a mess of pottage, and like Judas
sold Jesus Christ for money.
The following is his letter printed
in the Chicago Tribune. Read it
show it to other railroaders thai
they may know the man when they
see him:
Champaign, H., Aug. Al am al
engineer in freight service, twenty
years experience, and have worked
every day since strike started. / rui
into one of the worst terminals on tn
system, Centralia, ILL.,, and / will sa!
that in all this strike / have neve
been molested or questioned by
guard, although we come and go al
times of the night. =
The only danger we have been. II
was from striker pickets shooting
toward the roundhouse and yards a
Centralia.
| understand the miners in all tn
small towns in southern Illinois OF
our line have posted notices to no
haul any more Kentucky or Alabami
coal through their towns on penalty o
being shot at while passing.
In fact, one caboose and engine cal
were shot full of holes a few night
ago.
Now, if the heads of the four trail
orders are so worried over safet
from armed guards, why don't the,
take up with the miners the orde
about their men shooting at our train
menu
1t is certainly going the limit if
comes that an engineer has TO go bae
and find out whether every passenge
carries a union card or whethe
freight was made and loaded by unto
men. S. b.
