promise of support of the Extreme
Socialists, headed by Leon Blum, and
last night only the question of the dis
tribution of minor offices prevented
the premier from submitting list of
the new cabinet to President Dou-
mergue this morning.
However, the whole matter Is
opened again by M. Brands reluc-
tance to accept office in a cabinet
which may last only a very short
time. Public opinion is greatly ex-
cited over the delay. France has
been almost a week without a govern
ment. Conservative and Socialist
newspapers throw the blame for this
mess on each other, accusing the re-
spective leaders of putting party poll
tics above the vital interests of the
country. Independent journals point
out that France is passing through
much more serious crisis than even
in 1914. yet neither Democrats
nor Socialists seem to realize the
necessity of uniting and forming a
coalition in order to save France from
the hardships which will result il a
solution is not found for the present
financial crisis. 80 -

Similarity to Shenandoah Accident
Brings Great Interest.

The similarity of the accident to
American dirigfbIe Shenandoah on a
wild ride through a storm in January,
1924, aroused much interest in naval
aviation circles here. Officials sought
through every channel for the latest
bulletins upon the progress of the
British ships fight, and indicated
confidence that she would weather the
test as did the Shenandoah.
Despite the almost total loss of her
nose cap, the Shenandoah rode out an
80-mile gale after an all night strug-
gle. Steps were at once taken to
remedy the weakness, and that ship,
as well as the Los Angeles, now EN-
body specially designed braces which
are believed to insure them against
breaking away, even should the wind
rise to hurricane force.
At 4:30 o'clock the air ministry an
nounced receipt of a message from the
R-33 stating she was approximately 10
miles northwest of Amsterdam and
still maintaining her northerly course.
1t was officially stated that no rela-
tives of members of the crew were on
board. This was in denial of a report
in circulation that when the R-33
broke away relatives of some of her
crew were on the airship and had been
carried off with her. 1t was also re-
ported that Corp. Potter. a survivor of
the R3S disaster, was on the R-33.

Father Oussas denied the compe-

insisting that he should be tried un-

own country. The public prosecutor,
N. Krylenko. said a diplomatic pass

SARGENT IS CALLED
ONE OF |MMORTALS
Painter Is EuIogized in All
Quarters-Rites Tomor-
row Likely.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. April 16.-If future gen
erations indorse the encomiums pub
lished by today's press, John Singer
Sargent, the American artist who died
at his Chelsea home yesterday will
have place in the temple of fame
alongside the greatest masters of all
time.
Art critics. editorial writer's and so
ciety personages vie in paying homage
to the genius and personality Of the
man.
Though it is recognized that art has
suffered an irreparable loss in his
death, no less emphasis is laid upon
his modesty, good nature and gentle
ness.
"One of the immortals" is the desig-
nation one eulogist confers on him.
while others rank him with Franz
Halls or declare that no artist has
earned such distinction since Van
Dyck.
Speculate on Wealth.
Satisfaction is expressed that his in
dustry and comparatively long life
he was 6S-enabled him to give so
much and that he left the world rich
in series Of works, every one Of
which is in its way masterpiece.
There is some speculation over his
presumed wealth, whiche it is said,
might have been vastly greater. He
cared little for money, however. and
is said to have rejected frequent offers
of enormous sums from moneyed per-
sons who vainly yearned to be inn
mortalized by his wonderful brush
One supposition given circulation is
that his investments alone brought
him an annual income of $4,000.
tentative arrangements provide for
burial at Woking, near London, prob
ably Friday. The funeral will be pri-
vate.
Stricken by Heart Attack.
The distinguished artists death was
caused by heart failure, due to fatty
| degeneration Of muscles of the heart
! following an atheroma of coronary
| arteries, D. r. Bronte. pathologist.
| testified at a coroner's inquest today
| after post-mortem examination of
| Sargent's body. II. r. Oswald. the
coroner, rendered a verdict that death
was from natural causes
The artists heart weighed "a
ounces. twice the normal weight. the
coroner said. He found the heart
| muscles extremely soft and pliable,
with fatty degeneration, general ar
| terial sclerosis, and also indications
of chronic Bright's disease. 1t was
| learned that Sargent consulted his
! regular physician about month ago
| regarding the hardening of his ar
| teries.
Nelson Ward, Sargent's solicitor,
who dined with the artist the night
| before his death, said he seemed in
/ his usual spirits and apparently was
| in good health. Sargent reached
home about 11:15 Tuesday night.
| When a parlor maid, Clara Cozens,
found him dead in bed yesterday
morning, his spectacles were pushed
| up on his forehead and there was a
volume of Voltaire beside him. "Ap-
parently he had been reading and
| dropped off TO sleep" the maid said.
During the days Immediately pre-
ceding his death, Sargent had been
| busy preparing for his proposed
| Journey to America, where he had
| intended to remain about six months.
