SELLING OLD ART
Sales Forced by High Taxes
American to Get "Red
Boy" for Million.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 7.-Increasing
taxation and heavy death and success
sion duties have obliged many promi-
nent members Of the British nobility
to throw on the market art treasures
that have been in their families for
decades and even centuries.
The Duke of Richmond and Gordon
announced today that he had decided
to sell a number Of pictures and books
from Goodwood House, his sumptuous
English estate, and from Gordon Castle,
his seat in Scotland.
Much as regret having to do this,
there is no other course open If wish
to continue to live at Goodwood and
employ those connected with the estate,
the duke said.
This news closely followed reports
that the Earl Of Durham was about to
part with Sir Thomas Lawrence
famous painting, 1.-THE Red Boy" to
an American collector for approximately
81 ,000.000
The sale was said to have been forced
on the Earl of Durham in order to pay
the enormous death duties demanded
for the estate owing to the deaths OF
the third and fourth earls. At the time
of the third earl's death, the value of
the estate was estimated at about $l0.-
DOC, 900, Of which nearly $3,500,000 was
taken, demanded in death duties.
Four months later, the fourth Earl of
Durham died, and this brought de-
mand for 81 100000 in death duties by
the state, so that the value of the great
estate of Durham was cut almost in
half within few months.

ROCKVILLE, Md, January THE

Of Bethesda against Mrs Daisy B. CAL
houn of Chevy Chase, wife of Col. Clar-

Washington builder, which is an action
to recover on promisory note for
$1,000, assigned by Gormley to Harris.

in the Circuit Court here yesterday.
Signing Admitted.
Although it is not denied that Mrs.
Calhoun signed the note, which was
dated June 20, 1928, payable in 80 days,
payment at its maturity was refused
on the theory that the note was never
delivered to Gormley, but was taken
by him, without authority, from the
Cal Calhoun home at Chevy Chase while
husband in Washington to ascertain
If he were willing to sign the note, and
that Gormley refused to return the
note, which he was repeatedly request
ed to do.
Gormley's Contention.
On the other hand, 1t was contended
that Gormley obtained the note In
proper manner and that it was in pay
ment of money due him in connection
with the erection Of the Calhoun home
at Chevy Chase. The note, it was
shown, was assigned to Harris with the
understanding that when paid he was
to retain something over $500 due him
by Gormley and turn over the balance
to the builder.
Attorneys w. Gwynn Gardiner Of
Washington and Stedman Prescott of
Rockville represented Mrs. Calhoun
and Attorneys Charles c. Collins and
r. A. Bogley Of Washington appeared
for Harris.
