POINCARE RESENT FRANC-AID SIURIES' Issues Demal That Foreugn‘ Bankers Are Meeting to Discuss Assistance. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 27.—Publication abroad of stories that foreign bankers are meeting here or there in France or elsewhere with the purpose of ad- vising the French governmnt what it ought to do about the franc has caused evident annoyance to the Poincare cabinet. The Assoclated Press today was au- thorized to say that the French gov- ernment is unaware of any such meet- ing, that it is competent to arrange its own finances without suggestions from abroad and that anything ap- proaching or resembling a Dawes plan for France would not be considered for an instant. Internal Affairs Up. The French government, it was #aid, i3 wholly occupied at present with internal affairs. 1f at some time in the future i should regard foreign ald as useful. it would only be on a hasis of credits and these, Yt was de- clared, are not being thought of just now.

WHO DIED YESTERDAY “Grand Old Man of American Art” Adopted West for ; Best Works. Made Most Noted Pieces in East From Memory of Mountains. | | | | By Thomas Moran, N. A.. “the grand old man of American art,” who died yesterday at 89 in Santa Barbara, Calif., is permanently represented in | Washington by two of his most cele- brated paintings. in the Senate end; of the Capitol. They are “Grand Can- | yon of the Yellowstone” and “Chasm of the Colorado.” The National Gallery of Art here ! 3 also has three of his canvases, but| 4 { they are a loan by a daughter of the | painter, Miss Ruth B.

Moran visited Washington within the last two years. When the Iederal Government paid Moran $10,000 for the Yellowstone painting, finished after a visit in 1871 to the area now a national park, it cauved something of a sensation. “The public was awed by the serried buttresses, with thelr fantastic adorn- ments and their riot of color,” says one critic, “and it was felt that, in'a. sense, Moran had opened up a new | world to art.” In 1873 Moran again went West, with Maj. J. W. Powell's expedition.'‘and on his return painted the “Chasm of the Colorado,” for | which the Government also paid him $10,000. fu | be | 3 ito | % h be i i th Wl THOMAS MORAN. of Venice,” 1888. He taught his wife the art of etching until she became notably proficient in the work. Tllustrating Moran's essential iIn- tegrity of artistic thought, was his refusal of §15,000 for a palnting which a wealthy patron agreed to accept if Moran would change the coioring in the sky. The proposed change did not seem to him veracious to nature, Of his concept of art he is quoted as saying: “The man must exhibit him- self in his pictures. In painting I ave to be full of my subject. I must know the rocks and the trees and the atmosphere and the mountain tor- rents and the birds that fly in the ether above wus.” His remarkable memory was able to hold the facts of nature for his facile brush. On anather occasion he refused a large price for a picture because he did not consider it was correct geologically. Work Saved From Fire.

Won Ruskin's Praise. Moran's versatility is shown in the subjects he selected. He was at home equally in marine views, the peaceful beauty of Mexico and Florida, or the overwhelming grandeur and wildne: of the Rocky Mountains. Ruskin, the great - English _critic, pronounced | Moran’s “Waves Beating on the | Shore,” to be “the finest piece of | water-drawing he had ever seen by any man.” He used little or no sug- gestion in his painting and eschewed | impresstonism, but made a realistic yet romantic. representation of his subject. With the ultra modern school of art, which he considered tolerated ugliness and poor drawing for the sake of achleving a novel effect, he had no patlence, belleving such things soon would pass. Moran won high recognition also as an etcher. As with his paintings, his etchings cover every class of sub’ ects, including his impressive “Gate FOR SALE BARGAIN ACREAGE Ready for Subdivision p: of | seen | other orseback Is a prescription for.

Recent experiments in Panama, where wheel transportation is sometimes {mpossible from lack of roads and the almost impenetrable jungle, showed that ordinary pack mules will not carry the new gun. The ‘explanation given is that the gun is 80 long that it tickles efther the ears or the nether end and makes him fractious.
