D. c. VOTERS GET
FOUR MORE HOURS
Ballot Boxes to Be Open at
SO Scho0IhouSes From
9 Am. to 9 PM.

Four extra hours have been added
to the balloting time in the District
of Columbia suffrage referendum next
Saturday, it was announced last
night. due to the great demand from
persons who want to vote in the
morning.
The original hours for the polls
were from l pm. to 9 pm. at SO
schoolhouses throughout the city.
When this schedule became generally
known. flood of requests came to
the Citizens Conference on District
OF Columbia Suffrage. asking that the
polls be open also in the morning
hours.
Although the extra time will add
substantially to the cost Of keeping
the schoolhouses open, the referen-
dunn management acceded to the re-
quests, and extended the hours by
four. so that the ballot boxes now
will be open from 8 am. to . pm
Il hours.
This increased interest was inter-

dunn, and its supervision. William Ii.
Mondell. chairman of the Committee
on Elections, was whipping into shape
the long list of citizens who will SUI
pervise the So polling places. He

morrow.
The campaign for rousing interest IN
the forthcoming plebiscite next Sat
urday, and in the hearings before the
House Judiciary Committee May and
S on pending joint resolutions to grant
suffrage by constitutional amendment.
moved forward yesterday on several
fronts.
Wilbur S. Finch, president Of the
District Suffrage Association ana
chairman of the Citizens Conference
on District Suffrage, delivered a radio
appeal over Station VOL, attacking
critics of suffrage and declaring that
the founding fathers of this country
never intended TO deprive residents OF
Washington Of the vote.
The Man in the Street including
some women, became the subject OF
curbstone radio interview yesterday at
Thirteenth and F streets over Station

$5OO,O0O Old Masters Stolen
From Cuest-Crowded Castle
Rembrandt and Two Gainsboroughs in Loot, but
Thieves Pass Up Valuable Velasquez and
Idol of Pure Gold.

Scotland Yard mounted close
watch on all ships and airports in a
hunt for the paintings and special
officers were ordered to inquire into
package shipments.
Thieves Evidently Experienced.
Sir Edmund declared:
The men obviously were members
Of an experienced gang of art thieves
but they ransacked number of rooms
and took away other things of COM
paratively little value
''All the paintings were cut clean
from their frames and the greatest
care was taken.
Marks of gloved hands have been
found all over the place. The thieves
put cushions on the floor 50 the frames
some of which are very heavy
would not make any noise when taken
down.
"The Gainsboroughs, Van Dyck and
Reynolds are worth many, many thou
sands OF pounds. The thieves passed
other treasures. They examined an
idol found in railway cutting in
Colombia but discarded it. thinking
it probably brass. 1t is pure gold"
Police recalled inquiries they made
year ago after a man was noticed
taking unusual interest in the pictures
during a charity exhibition. Investi-
cation at the time led nowhere.
In previous great art robberies, pic
lures sometimes were returned after
period Of time in which the thieves
sold many copies, representing them
as the genuine stolen articles.
Mona Lisa Theft Recalled.
Most famous theft of the century
was the removal of Leonardo da
Vinci's Mona Lisa" from the Louvre
in Paris on August ~ or %, 1911.
1t was recovered December IL. 1919
in Florence, Italy, by an art dealer
named Geri, to whom it was being
sold. and returned to the Louvre
January l. 1914.
The man arrested for the theft was
Vincenzio Perugia. He said he had
watched the crowds pass in admira-
tion before the painting and, overcome
by patriotism, decided to steal it and
return 1t to Italy, whence he said it
had been "stolen."
He was sentenced to life imprison-
ment and Geri received the 1000
reward offered By the Louvre.

LONDON, April ga band Of
thieves who left no fingerprints en-
tered a Kentish castle filled with
sleeping weekend guests early today
and carried away half a million dol
lars worth of paintings.
Five old masters-most precious of
which was Rembrandt's portraist of his
first wife, "Saskia at Her Toilet
were taken in the biggest British art
haul Of this century.
They belonged to Sir Edmund Davis,
art collector and mining company di-
rector who kept them in ground
floor gallery in his 18th century Chill
ham castle near Canterbury.
The burglary. was perhaps the most
skillful in this country since Thomas
Gainsborough's Duchess of Devon
shire was slashed from its frame in
Bond street gallery in 1876.
Cut Pane From Window.
The robbers entered the ground
floor of the castle by cutting pane
from a mullioned window.
The robbery remained undiscovered
until Sir Edmund entered the gallery
in the front of the castle this morning
and found the empty frames.
The Rembrandt was valued at about
S250,000. Sir Edmund bought this s.
by-3-foot masterpiece from The Hague
Museum in 1900 and today he was
chagrined particularly because he had
declined to lend it to the current
Amsterdam exhibition commemorate
ing the birth Of Crown Princess
Juliana's daughter.
Two Gainsboroushs in Loot.
Besides the old master, the thieves
carried away two paintings by Gains
borough, 18th century English portrait
and landscape painter; one BY Sir
Joshua Reynolds. 18th century Eng
lish portrait painter. and one by Van
Dyck, Flemish painter of the 18th
century.
The Gainsboroughs stolen were
Lady Charges" and Pitt" the
Reynolds was Earl of Suffolk" and
the Van Dyck was Man with Dog"
A valuable Velasquez was left on
the wall and the robbers also passed
