Concerning the matter of insurance

artists, and no exhibitors, there would
be no gallery.
"The pictures we are showing have
come from all over the country. One
man, an American painter, F. c. Erie
secke, even sent in his work from
Paris. Our prospectus states exactly
how the pictures must be boxed for
shipment.
But one exhibitor, from California,
sent her picture here in a cardboard
container. It arrived intact. But it
would have been impossible to return
it to her in the same box. So our
men built box, packed her picture dt
was not accepted by the jury in it,
and returned 1t to her.
According to our agreement, the
box was reshipped to her with charges

cardboard box was 81. On our wooden
crate it was Sc. She wrote us, asking
that we pay the 81 difference. We did.
Without the exhibitor. there can
be no gallery. The exhibitor, we feel,
Is always right. It Is our. policy to
make him feel that we operate in his
interest"
In order to prove the point, the
writer was given q look on the Gin
side," the inside. in this case. being
the basement of the Corcoran Gallery.
Here Is maintained q complete staff
and equipment for the handling Of its
rare treasures.
When a picture arrives which Is
submitted for large exhibition. such
as the present one, 1t is first un-
packed on especially padded, long,
cradlelike bench. It has been first
brought by regular express truck to
the main floor Of the gallery, where,
loaded on an unusually large, thick
walled elevator which moves very
slowly, 1t Is lowered to the basement
floor. Two workmen, operating hand

had under the insurance and valuation
as above provided"
The fact that only once Ad that so
many years ago that its exact time
Is forgotten, has there been any real
damage done to picture by reason
Of the carelessness of employees, attests
pretty well to the experience" Of its
workmen. A packer, lifting a pedestel
in the basement storage room, mad
vertently turned, and a corner of the
pedestal slightly tore canvas by the
artist-inventor, S. F. B. Morse. The
gallery's own expert restorers were
able to mend the damage without cost,
even to the insurance companies.

pictures for the present show. Director
C. P. Minnigerode could recall only
one.

the box. The frame was then turned
over, but not until large pads, made
by folding several sheets of paper
stuffed either with more shredded pa
per or excelsior, were placed carefully
under each corner of the frame, below
the battens.
SIMILAR pads were then affixed,
by means Of tiny tacks, over the
top side Of the frame. More padding
folded papers or excelsior-fllled in
the center of the frame. The entire
box, first Of all lined with water
proof tar-paper, was then nailed up,
great care being taken that the nails
were driven exactly.
With each canvas, the most precious
part, of course, similar precautions to
keep it from jarring in the crate-the
battens and padding-were fixed in
place. In this case, however, the
battens were screwed into the
"stretcher," the light wooden frame
work which surrounds the canvas
within the larger frame on all pic
lures. Also, moisture-proof oil-paper
was wrapped securely about each cam
vas. In addition, to further secure
the stretcher from slipping about In
the crate, special triangle-shaped,
long blocks of soft pine were wedged
in between the inner side of the crate
and the stretcher.
When all had been done to Mr..
Melons and the company's entire
satisfaction the great 800 and 800
square-feet capacity steel vans, upon
which the storage company holds the
patent, were hauled out to the AM
bassador's house. Four of these spe-
cial vans were necessary to hold the
portion Of his collection Mr.. Mellon
took abroad. Each of the vans (the
steel ones are used for foreign ship
ments, aluminium and a few old
wooden ones are used for domestic)
is a unit by itself. In the course
of so much transportation of valu-
able art work some better sort of
shipping container had to be evolved.
These great fire and water proof vans
are the result. They are so con-
structed that a shipper may seal
them himself at his own home, and
if he accompany the load, unseal them
at their destination.
After Mr.. Melons collection had
been packed within the vans the
workmen then began the further pre-
caution against damage-especially
from moisture Of salt air-of "wad-
ding" each one. About 800 additional
pounds Of excelsior and shredded
paper, besides numerous folds Of quilt
ing and soft cloths, are needed to
wad a van.
With the storage men and spe-
cial guard the vans were hoisted on
especially constructed trailers and
driven to the docks in New York
So packed, it is not necessary that
the vans be still further given the
protection of vaults on the liner. But
guard stayed with them until they
landed at the English port. The
English agents of the American COM
pany reversed the process Of packing
at Melons home abroad.
And that is how large collections
of rare paintings are moved and why
they are almost never damaged or
lost. s>- ..-... -..' -

THERE have been both occasions,
of course. One of the latter is
related by Duncan Phillips. founder of
the Phillips Memorial Gallery, at 1000
Twenty first street northwest. He tells
the story. as he says. only because 1t
points out so we'll the moral that the
theft of rare paintings nowadays is
not very paying proposition. Old
masters and works by great names are
too well known by art connoisseurs the
world over to make it worth while for
o thief to attempt to resell them. even
If he has been successful in their theft.
Some years ago Mr. Phillips con-
sented to the sending of some of his
finest pieces to the Century Club OF
New York for an exhibition. They
were packed in their several respective
boxes and placed in van at this end.
Special guards were sent along to ac-
company the pictures night and day.
When the boxes were unpacked in
New York, one-the valuable painting.
1.-The Barnyard, by Ryder-was miss
ing. The missing picture had been in
the smallest box in the lot.
In spite of everything the box had
been stolen on the way and the picture
was gone. Advertisements were spread
in art periodicals to the ends of the
earth and detectives used every means
to trace the theft down. Their efforts
were unsuccessful.
Four years later, F. F. Sherman,
q Ryder authority, stepped into the
small shop of New York dealer. The
proprietor "had something" for
Sherman.
That's the lost Phillips Ryder!"
exclaimed Sherman, the moment his
trained eye had seen the picture.
The dealer was shocked, skeptical.
He had the picture from reputable
people, from a man who declared he
had owned the picture for years, that
his mother had bought it at an auction
sale in Philadelphia.
Sherman was sure, the dealer was
skeptical. the claimant was sure.
When Phillips saw the picture, he was
sure. The dilemma went to court.
Proceedings were begun against the
claimant.
But the case was soon cleared. The
original dealer who had sold the pic
ture to Phillips years before, always
stenciled a mark and a number in
conspicuously in the panel on the back
Of pictures he sold. He identified
these markings and checked them
with his own sales book. They Tailed.
Nobody knows to this day just how
the picture was stolen or who was the
thief. The story shows quite well,
however, that the theft didn't pay,
for the very first time the picture was
offered for sale in a market where an
expert could see it, it was identified.
A THOUGH no paintings Of ex-
treme value are among the 428
now showing in the current Four
teenth Biennial Exhibition of Contem-
porary American Oil Paintings at the
Corcoran Gallery, the method Of their
transportation and handling reveals
that living artists are quite aware
that postsrity Is tangible thing.
According to the prospectus sent
out some time ago announcing the
exhibition, pictures submitted must be
sent at the artists expense, both for
forwarding and returning. Further,

After the picture has been passed
by Kohlmer, it is taken upstairs along
with other entries, on the Slow
moving elevator. From there it Is

building.
Here they are placed carefully
around the walls of the rooms TO
await the day the Jury" of art critics
will come to look them over for ac-
ceptance or rejection as part Of
the exhibition. Once accepted, they
are hung in accordance with the
traditional rules which obtain In all
galleries. for the best possible showing
of their qualities-color, symmetry
and design.
At the expiration Of the exhibit,
those pictures which have escaped
purchase are once more taken to the
basement. From the elevator, now,
they go on smaller, rubber-tired. we'll

TAKEN of the dolly, the picture
is ready for repacking. Corcoran's
men are well trained in this procedure.
From metal-lined special boxes to hold
the excelsior, shredded paper and
cloths used, the men take out their
materials. The picture is padded. top
and bottom, with thick strips of paper
stuffed with excelsior. The familiar
batten is affixed to the frame to keep
the whole from jarring in the crate.

q nail straight from the packing case,
open each crate. Laid out no the
bench, these workmen first give the
picture and frame superficial exam
ination for damage.
The picture Is then taken into the
work room of L. j. Kohlmer, the gal
lery's expert restorer of oil paintings
and general repairer of damage to
their works of art. Kohlmer has
been at Corcoran for only siX years,
but his connection with art galleries
in a similar function has extended
back more than 40 years.
Kohlmer carefully inspects the pic
ture for minor chips in the frame,
dents, or defects which may have oc-
Cured in shipping. If small amount
of damage to the canvas itself has
been done, he may apply his deft
fingers and brush to repair it. If the
rarity occurs, and some genuine dam
age has been done, the artist Is noti-
fed and his word Is law cn what
may be done to the picture. He may
reveal, as is often the case, that the
damage discovered by Kohlmer had

IN THE meantime, as each picture
Is removed from its packing box,
the empty container Is numbered, as
"box 415-1P." This means that the
box was the 415th entry to come in
and contained one picture. With all
other boxes, 1t Is stacked in a large
area directly beneath the main entry

THIRD PARTY
DIE ) WITH
SEN. LONG
Kingfish Was Motivat-
ing Spirit of Insur-
gents in Both Parties
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
Interna tiOnal News Service

The death of Senator Huey
Long removes the principal threat
of major third party movement
in the Presidential campaign of
1896.
There may be-probably will
bean insurgent ticket in the
field next year, but without the
leadership of the volatile, rabble-
rousing KingfiSh, politicians do
not believe it will get very far.
It was Huey who was the spear
head. the motivating spirit of the
1nSurgent wing of both old parties,
and with his elimination there
doesn't appear on the horizon
anyone who can carry on.
No Other Leader
Huey planned to run for the
Presidency next year. He said
publicly that if the Democrats
renominated Mr.. Roosevelt and
the Republicans ran Mr.. Hoover
I'LL be a candidate" He said
privately that he was going to be
candidate in any event, ire
spective of the Democratic and
Republican choices. He made one
exception. He said if the Repub-
licans nominated Senator William
E. Borah of Idaho he would sup
port him.
The nucleus of Huey's third
party, as he planned it, was first
of all his own followers. secondly,
those of Father Coughlin, the De-
troit radio priest. and thirdly
those who subscribed to the phil
osophy of DR.. Francis E. Town
send, the ageing California ply
sician, who brought out the novel
idea that the Federal Government
should pay 5000 month to all
persons who passed the age of so.
Huey's own political tom.tom
was share the wealth." and
every man a king" Father
Coughlin's was, and is, radical
monetary reform. DR.. ToWnsend's
was, and is, old age security
through the pension plan. Between
the three of them, provided they
could get together, they were in a
position to make trouble next year
for the regular nominees of both
parties, and especially for Mr..
Roosevelt. Such a third party
movement as Huey intended start
ing would be calculated to hurt
the Democrats more than the Re
publicans.
But the leader had to be Huey

Brig. Gen. William L. Horton,
81, U. S. A., retired, was taken
to Second Corps area hospital at
Governors Island, N. Y, today
for treatment for amnesia.
Earlier reports were that Gen
eral Horton was en- route to
Washington for treatment at Wal.
ter Reed Hospital. At the War
Department, however, it was
learned that physicians at the
Somerset Hospital in Somerville.
N. j., where the general was ad.
mitted late yesterday, advised
against the long journey to
Washington.
Stricken while driving his auto,
mobile from New York toward
Washington yesterday, the gen
eral stopped on Route %, in front
of the home of Edward Byrnes
near North Branch, four miles
from Somerville, N. j. State po-
lice, notified by Byrnes, removed
General Norton to the Somerset
Hospital where his condition was
diagnosed as amneSia.
The General, who has practised
law here since his retirement
from the Army five years ago, was
on his vacation when seized with
the attack. He, with Brig. Gen.
and Mrs. Matthew Delaney, had
been guests at the summer home
of Mrs. Jacob Leander Loose at
Gloucester, Mass, last week, and
had stopped off at Providence
and East Greenwich, r. L, over
the weekend to visit relatives.
Well known in military and So
cial circles here, General Horton
retired as assistant quartermaster
general and chief of the Army
construction service on February
i, 1929, after 80 years of service.
He fought in the Spanish-Ameri-
can War, the Philippine Insured
ton, and the World War and
holds the Distinguished Service
Medal and many decorations
from foreign countries.
Named colonel in 1920, he was
advanced to brigadier general in
1927, and supervised over fifty
million dollars worth of Army
construction work.
According to friends here, Gen
eral Horton enjoyed good health
and has never been subject to
amnesia attacks in the past.
