Begin Trial Dupont
Manager for Illegal
Possession of LIQUOR

Portland, Me-, June 7-P}-Charg-
ed with possession of whiskey and
alcohol seized in his home and gar
age, on an admittedly defective war;
rant, Henry F. Sargent of Portland
superintendent and manager of the
iterests of the E. I. Dupont De Me-
mours corporation in Maine, went on
trial in the Superior court today.
Fifty-three bottles of whiskey and
five cans containing about four and a
half gallons of acohol were found by
Sheriff King F. Graham and his men
on the Sargent premises, September
10. 1925.
Part of this was found in the gar
age by searchers who had no war
rant. The rest was seized on the Sec
ond visit the same day.
Sargent contends the liquor was for
his own use, as permitted by the laws
of Maine

ILLNESS PREVENTS
court ATTENDANCE
CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT

Washington, June 7.-(P)-Chief
Justice Taft is confined to his home
here by Illness which prevented him
from presiding over the supreme court
today at the closing of the present ses-
tion.
DIR. Thomas A. Clayton. heart spe-
eialist, who has attended the 6S-year-
old chief Justice and former president
for some time, said Mr.. Taft was not
seriously Ill. He added that unless
there were unexpected developments,
the chief justice would leave the last
of this week or early next week for his
summer home at Murray Bay, Canada.
The physician and some friends of
the chief justice attributed his pres
ent condition to overwork in the effort
to clear his desk before the courts
summer recess, which will end next
October.
While he has insisted on active work
in connection with the supreme court
despite minor disabilities at times, IT
is understood the chief justice stlil
feels the effect of an attack which he
had at Murray Bay two years ago ana
which seriously incapacitated him for
a while.
After that attack Mr.. Taft was plac-
ed upon diet with a result that his
weight was materially decreased.
While participating IN number OF
public functions recently. among them
the unwilling of the Ericsson monu-
ment 10 days ago, he has declined most
invitations which would take MIN
away from home at night.
Departing from that rule last week.
Mr. Taft acted as judge in the nation
al oratorical contest at the Washing
tom auditorium. On that occasion ne
was obliged to climb number OF
s+ens and some of his friends believe
this contributed to his present condl-
ton.
Although the chief justice has been
in bed on his physicians orders LOT
two DAVIS. news of his illness did not
leak out until he failed today to at
tend the session of the supreme court.
1t gave some concern to his colieagues
who have known intimately of his ex-
ertions and handicaps during the past
few months.

Federal officials said tonight they

Geneva. June T. up Internal
strife continues to threaten the ex-

Both Spain and Brazil today cast
an affront on the prestige of the

of majority of the delegates. Spain
by sending a boyish secretary of le-
cation to sit beside statesmen like
Chamberlain, BRAND and Benes on

to send anybody to the session.
League leaders were much
wrought up tonight. and there Is no
attempt to conceal the view that if
Spain and Brazil hope to force the
great powers into according them

Rio Janeiro and Madrid demand,
their action is likely to have a re-

preferable to lose Spain and Brazil
as league members than risk losing

Germany is still insistent that on

chair in the council this time. and
European statesmen realize that il

which Germany's accession is ex-

Detection Bogus
Painting by Use of
X.Ray at Cambridge

Cambridge, Mass, June 7.-(P)-
Science has come to the aid of the
,connoisseur and student of art in
determining the authenticity of
paintings and revealing methods of
the old masters. Practical use of
the x-ray in tn, examination of
paintings and the detection of forg-
cries has been established, in the
opinion Of Alan Burroughs, who has
recently completed series of X-ray
experiments on paintings of the
Fogg Art museum under the super
vision of Edward W. Forbes, direc-
tor of that institution.
These experiments Mr.. Burroughs
says, have revealed not only that
forgeries may be discovered but that
information of great value to collec-
tors and students may be CLEANED
from the Photograph negatives. The
rays may give valuable aid in the
restoration of great paintings.
The technique and style of the
artist may be studied in every de-
tail by an intelligent reading of the
x.ray negatives and the manner in
which the artist of a century or
more ago handled his paints and
brushes from t e beginning of pic
lure to the finishing touches is re-
vealed. The under paint, so import
ant TO the finished portrait or land
