 Whatever action the courts may take on this couple, there is frank admission by art authorities that galleries and markets harbor thou stands of bogus masterpieces.
 Even the Louvre has been vic- timized. Two "Watteaus," bought three years ago for S60,000 have been declared to be by far less important painter, Quillard. The Louvre now is trying to get it's money back under French law

SEA DISASTER
 OVER QUICKLY
 SAYS CAPTAIN
Accident Took Place with Such Rapidity Aid
 Could Not Help

BOSTON, Mass, June 12.-Capt Archibald Brooks, of the liner Fair fax, testified today at the investi- gation of the Pinthis- Fairfax dis aster during Wednesday night, that the collision was over so quickly that any sos could not have brought help quickly enough to cut down the loss of lives, now given at 46 persons.
 Capt. Brooks admitted the ship was moving at speed of more than II knots and this was not moderate speed in fog. He said he considered six knots slow speed.
 Commander Parker, of the Coast Guard cutter Tampa, 20 minutes away from the Fairfax, said he intercepted a message and asked if he could help and the reply came back that all was Okeh.
 The Pinthis, an oil tanker, and the Fairfax crashed outside of Boston harbor. The tanker went down quickly with all of her crew.
 Flaming oil from the tanker set fire to that ship and also the Fairfax and several passengers jumped from the Fairfax, blieving the vessel was doomed. They met death in the raging oil pouring from the tanker,

PARIS, June 12.-Mass produc- tion of "old masters" and other forms of fraud have upset art cir cles in France.
 The resulting agitation has led Pierre Rameil, former minister of fine arts, to urge creation of an official bureau whose staff findings would supplant present reliance up- on expert opinion"
 He believes that with the proper kind of laboratory tests, such a bureau could guarantee the genu- ineness of disputed works of art and eventually curb the faking which, some critics say, is of factory pro- portions.
 The Louvre maintains a labora- tory in charge of J. Ferdinand Gel lerier, a scientist of note, where chemistry and X-rays are used to determine the genuineness of pie lures acquired for the government.

PUBLISHERSLIABLE 6
 FOR FRAUDULENT IDS

WASHINGTON. June 12.-Givine publishers credit flor the splendic success of the campaign of the Fed eral Trade Commission against fraudulent advertising" w. E Humphrey, member of the con- mission, in an address also gave warning that publishers, advertis- ing agencies and radio stations in the United States hereafter must be prepared to defend any adver- tisements they handle"
 "The law said MT. Humphrey makes them liable for any fraudu- lent advertisements to which they may help give publicity, and the commission will make them parties in all actions brought against the advertiser where they have assist ed him in his fraudulent scheme
 Declaring that in this procedure "the commission in no degree is interfering with the freedom of the oress," MT Humphrey continued:
 Rightly CT wrongly, the public believes that those who give ad- vertisements to the public guarantee the honesty of the advertiser. In this belief the public pays it's money to the advertiser, and often com mits to him things more valuable than money" /
 About 75 per cent of this class Of advertising, MT. Humphrey said "refers to physical ailments and defornities.
 In the past six months, accord ing to figures announced by MT Humphrey, publishers have rejected not less than sl00,0o0,000 worth of questionable advertising. AS a re- suit, he said, the public has been protected from being robbed of not less than $150,000, ,000."
 "The press in this matter has rendered great public service , MT. Humphrey said: T believe that within a year the advertising col umns of publications will be prac- tically free of that class of ad- vertisements that are plainly false upon their face"
 Another class of advertising that has been condemned by the Fed eral Trade Commission" said MT. Humphrey, lis the publication of paid testimonials, unless the adver- tisement shows conspicuously on its face that the testimonial has been paid for. This is ar-reaching de- cision and will affect advertising along many lines.
 Tt may be embarrassing to some statesmen to have it published that their praise of certain smokes is inspired by a consideration. It may be disconcerting to certain so- ciety celebrities that their enthusi- astic praise of certain cosmetics was for cash"
