VALUABLE PAINTING,
OWNED BY OIL MAN,
CANNOT BE LOCATED
Fort Worth Librarian Says
Picture GiUen to Own-
er's agent"

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. 20, - A
famous painting by Julian Luna,
which won first prize at the Paris
Art Exhibition in 1897, has been
stolen from the Carnegie Public Lii
brary, it was learned.
The picture, which is COPY of a
portion of the fresco, The Dispute
of the Scriptures, by Raphael, which
adorns a wall Of the Vatican in Rome,
is the srOperty of John Z. Enfield,
oil operator in Mexico.
The painting was loaned to the IL
brary in this city in the summer of
1921, by Mr.. Enfield, in order that
it might be exhibited.
a few weeks ago, Mr.. Enfield who
has been abroad. returned to Fort
Worth to obtain the picture.
He was told by the librarian that
the picture had been given to some
man who called and asked for it, say
ing that he was an agent Of Mr.. En-
field.
Through his attorneys. Mr.. Enfield
has filed a request for the return of
his property with the president Of the
library association, or damages to the
extent of $4,000.
Mr.. Enfield came in possession of
the painting when. during the Span
ish-American War. il was captured in
the loot taken after the capture Of
San Fernando.

WOMAN'S DEATH DUE
TO NATURAL CAUSES, /
AUTOPSY INDICATES.
Society Leader Did Not Die
From Poisoning, Doc
tors Say.

New York. Sept. 29.-Mrg. Charles
Webb, who died Tuesday night at the
Westchester-B iltmore Country Cub in
Rye, n. Y, was not necessarily a vic
tim of poisoning. as far Is the autopsy,
performed late yesterday, shows.
1t was stated, however, that the
chemical analysis might prove that GER
tain poisons, which were found in the
body, had at least FASTENED, if not
caused death.
Friends of the woman'S husband
charge that the suspicion of poison.
ing is the result of an old family feud,
which has lasted through several gem
erations.
A cousin of Mr.. Webb, Colonel
Howard Thayer Kingsbury. who is a
physician. stated that in his opinion,
death was due to natural causes.
He was with Mrs. Webb at the time
of her death.
One circumstance which was re-
garded as odd by relatives of the dead
woman is that she had suffered from
an eye affection similar to that ox-
perienced by her mother who died
shortly before Mrs. Webb's marriage,
which she had opposed.
Relatives who demande that an in
vestigation be made also declare that
Mrs. Webb had made two wills shortly
before her death. and that she had
refused to sign a third which had been
drawn.
The result Of the chemica, analysis
probably will not be known for sew
eral days.

Walter S. Ward, acquitted. yesterday

wife and children, a free man.
A jury had found him not guilty
of the sinister charge that has hung
over his head for sixteen months. The
verdict resemblcd an anniversary gift,
for yesterday was Wards 32nd birth
day.
A scene almost without parallel
was enacted in the court room when
the verdict was announced.
The throng of spectators rose to its
feet, pushed and showed its way over
chairs, benches and the railing to
Wards side.
Most of the jubilant ones were
women and many were members Of
the fashionable colony of Westches-
ter county.
They grasped Wards hand, they
threw their arms about his neck and
some of them tried to kiss him.
In little ante room where teleg-
raphers sent the news to hundreds of
newspapers, stood Bcryl Curtis Ward,
wife of the defendant, waiting.
Her brother-in-law, Ralph Ward.
was the first to bring the tidings to
her.

her to assuage her unhappiness with
tears. but she has not wept at all.
She says very little except in short
exclamation like. "How could he do
it, Has he no regard for his mother:
| cannot understand it," etc. etc.
Of course. | do not know to what
she refers. but | am sure. my dear
Mr.. Prescott. if you could see her and
hear her grief-stricken accents. you
would feel as | do, that she is n wo-

/ hope YOU will not think I am in
truding in writing you this letter,
but your dear mother has been such
friend to me and I find in her such
a wealth of straightforward princi-
pies and unflagging zeal for right liv-
ing. that I count myself fortunate
in being able 10 spend more or less
my time with her. l do not want TO
make Mrs. Prescott Jr. envious. but

which was staged by Detectives Joe

turned into a wild party, was broken
up. A score of soldiers and West
r Side senoritas were interrupted when
they arrived on the scene to begin
festivities.
Two hours later police and detec-
tives executed another raid which
brought about the arrest of two
Mexicans, brothers, and the consfisca-

the destruction of nine barrels OF
raisin mash. The latter raid was
made on Jean street by Detective
Captain Sam Street, Police Captain

the result of Tip furnished officers
by residents in the vicinity of Merida

The operator of the place is still
at large, due 10 his ability as rough
rider and the speed of n sOrrel mare.
Two shots, fired from n pistol in the
hands of Detective Carver failed TO
halt him when he discovered his place
had been surrounded by officers.
When Detectives Ruhnke and Car

place, it was dark and deserted. A
search resulted in the brewery being
located in a shack in the rear of the
dwelling. 1t was while the officers
were giving it the "Once over" that
