Washington. Juns g C. - The congressional rscsss by no means soundsd the knell for social activity in Washington. or did 1t lsave . de- serted city. Those whom the world loves to hear about are still here aud enjoying life quite as much. but in different way than in mid-win- ter. Freedom and fun and as much outdoor lifo as possible are ensas- ing them now.
 Mrs. Hoover. evidently finds the White House . comfortable place. and if she chafss under the con- straint of her position no one would know. Certain 1t is, the outdoor spirit possesses her, too, and she was charming to look at when on Thurs- day night she occupied her box at the Sylvan theatsr to hear the Com munity Drama Guild in Sherwood" She wore . misty looking white gown and with her was her sister. Mrs. Jean Henry Large. who is stay ing with her at the White House. and several other guests.
 Many important persons from the diplomatic corps. including the Per- sian minister. Mirsa Davoud Khan Meftah. and the Egyptian minister and Mime. Samy. occupied boxes, as did Mrs. Charles Francis Adams. Senator and Mrs. Porter Dale. Rep- resentative and Mrs. Sol Bloom, the speaker and Mrs. LonGworth and others. ..... ..
 The president and Mrs. Hoover will. for the second time since March {. give . garden paty on the south front lawn of the White House. De- cidedly dissimilar are the parties. the first one, that of a week ago be- ing for the women of the National Republican league of Washington, while on the afternoon of June 2s, they will follow out the custom which has prevailed for some years. of entertaining disabled veterans of the World War who arc patients in hospitals in and near Washington.
 The president and Mrs. Hoover will have about them all of the members of the cabinet and their iadies who are now in town, with . large number of senators and repre- sentatives who still finger here. Then there will be the gray ladies of the Red Cross, including Mrs. John Jacob Rogers of Massachusetts. who succeeded her husband in tho lower house. and many nurses in their crisp bright uniforms.
 The plan is to have the marine band play. and there will be many red and white striped tents dotting the lawn. each one giving out magical lot of ice cream and cakes, and plates of sandwiches. Last year Mrs. Coolidge vas in . rather fragile state of health and tho party was not given, the first year It has been omitted since the World War.

Jury D|SAGREES
IN LA BELLE" SUIT.
9 to 3 Against Painting as
Da Vinci, Reported Standing
After 14-Hour Debate.
BY the Associated Press.

oy TIC hSSOClbtcu FISSS
NEW YORK, March 2.-Unable to
decide whether the painting, La Belle
Ferronniere, owned by Mrs. Andree
Hahn, was the work Of Leonardo da
Vinci or copy, Supreme Court jury
that had been debating the question for
IA hours and IT minutes reported a
disagreement at $50 o'clock this morn
ing and was released.
Mrs. Hahn sued Sir Joseph Duveen
British art expert, for 100000, con-
tending that he committed SANDER of
title when in 1920 he said her painting
was not genuine Da Vinci. This state
ment, she alleged, prevented sale of the
painting to the Kansas City Art Insti-
tute for $250,000.
The jurymen said that at the time
they reported disagreement the vote
stood nine to three in favor of the de-
PENDANT.
Burden of Proof Defined.
Justice Black in his charge pointed
out it was essential for the jury to de-
termine whether or not the Hahn
painting was genuine and that the
burden of proving this rested on the
plaintiff, He also declared that if Sir
JOSeph's statement was false, the jury
intent. The case was given to the jury
at 3:l3 yesterday afternoon.
The jury, which for four weeks had
been hearing testimony in the case, re-
turned several times for instruction. At
$50 o'clock it reported inability to
reach an agreement, but was asked by
Justice Black to deliberate a while
longer. as the trial had cost the county
more than $4,000.
S. Lawrence Miller, counsel for Mrs
Hahn, had a 400-to-1 bet that the jury
would find in favor of his client. While
the jury was celebrating he overheard
bystander offer 500 to that the YER
dict would be against Mrs. Hahn. He
produced 81 bill and offered to take
the bet. The bystander then found he
had only S400 and the bet was made at
those odds
Testimony at Variance.
During the trial an imposing army Of
art experts gave opinions on the origin
of the picture Some testified that the
work was undoubtedly by Da Vinci,
while others had been just as certain
that it was nothing more than a copy.
On the stand Sir Joseph was frank
in his Characterization of Mrs. Hahn S
painting He said the mouth of La
belle was nat as a pancake bndt
her hair was mud" and that the eye
brows grew "out of paint not out of
flesh as they do in real life"
On the other hand, Vadin Chernoff,
Russian artist, testified that in his
opinion the Hahn painting was a
genuine Da Vinci and that the work in
the Louvre was copy. He said the
Hahn painting eventually had been
damaged and rather clumsily retouched
and that the copyist who painted the
Louvre picture had copied all the bad
retouching on the Hahn work.
A deposition by George Sortais, art
evxpert of the Department of the Seine,
Paris, supported Mrs. Hahn's conten-
ton, but Capt. r. Langdon Douglas,
London art expert, declared he had
never heard of Sortais and that there
was not the slightest trace of repaint-
ing on the Hahn picture.
