H. Devine Toss Dollar Over Recount. MUCH DISSATISFACTION EXISTS Several Requests for Recount Are Likely to Be Made Monday Night—Golfers Ouat on Links, Refore Dr. . W. Faulk and J. H. Devine settied the question who should ask for a recount of the ballots for the candidates for coun- climan of the Fourth ward yesterday morn- ing by tossing a dollar. Tt was agreed that the one who won the toss should be ac- counted the winner on the face of the of- ficlal canvass, but it was also understood that the other would Immediately ask for a recount of tho ballots, On the face of Faulk and J. H. Devine were tled for the place. Fred Hefflinger also has flled an affidavit, stating that he is confident that a recount of the ballots will show that he is the rightful candidate for democratic member of the council in the Fourth ward. It s expected that other requests for a recount will bo demanded before the limit expires Monday night. The city clerk said that he was not responsible for the men who took oath and were given certificates on the primary election day, which allowed them to vote, being unregistered. He sald they might all be .lllegal 60 far as the facts in the case went; but they had all tuken the necessary oath and were in- dividually responsible. It is persistently charged that many cases of fraud were of the applicants for certificates were non- residents. So far no one has been found who is willing to shoulder the responsibility of an Investigation. It is & fact that most of the applicants for certificates were men who professed that they Intended to vote the democratic ticket. It s certain that most of these men's records will be examined by the committees of the political parties before the day of the spring election. The fact that they swore In their vote on primary day will not place them on record for the election, but they will have to appear be- fore the board of registrars when it meets to recelve registrations revising the regular lists of last fall. If they do not so appear they will be obliged to again swear in their vote on election d N. M. Graham Returns Superintendent N. M. Graham returned last night from Indianapolis where he has been attending the national convention of the Superintendents' and Principals’ asso- ciation of the United States. He was one of & delegation of about twenty from Ne- braska. The delegation returned feeling proud of the fact that the convention had honored the state by the election of Pro- fessor Willlam M. Davidson of Omaha as president of the natlonal association. Mr, Graham sald he had been well enter- tained along with the other 2,00 delegates. He also-visited a number of schools which were an inspiration, Indianapolls is noted for its good schools. One of these was a manual training school where over 1900 puplls were recelving instructions. An- other interesting school was that for back- ward or subnormal children, where an ef- fort is made to develop the best talant JAY In no other country has there been such & great growth of interest in art matters |#s in the United Etates. During 199 the value of importations of art works Into this country amountsd to more than #0,.- 000,000. Add to this the amount spent for Amerfcan art, as well as the cost of art education, and it ts likely that the Unhted |States is payving $100,000,000 a vear for th art its people enjoy. Of the $11,500,00 which | America pays each year for the study of art, $5,000,000 goes to the schools, divided about equally between elementary and fin- ishing schools. Anggher million Is counted for subscriptions to art magagines and text books. The muntelpalitfes of the coun try spend $4,600,000 a year for art for popu- lar exhibit. While the outiay of the citles of the country is not in keeping with that of European art centers, it s belicved that the prospective progress of the coming de- cade will put us abreast of the leading citien of that eontinent in respect to muni- clpal expenditures for art purposes J. Plerpont Morgan has become tha greatest buyer of art in America. It is rellably stated that his collection of pie- tures, bric-a-brac, antiques, rugs and other |works of art have cost him at least $30,- 000,000, It is rumored abroad that Mr. Mor- £an Intends to bequeath all his collections to the government for the creation of a na- tional gallery that will rival the best in Burope. Napoleon ransacked the world to make the Louvre what it is, and those who have information as to Mr. Morgan's in- tentions belleves that he Is ambitlous to do as much for the art of his country as Napoleon dld for that of France. He has agents abroad who are continuously look- ing for famous paintings. He makes it a rule to pay for no work of art he buys until after one year, thus affording him- self an opportunity of belng certain that the purchase is genuine. Europe does not relish the competition of Americans In its art centers. Only re- cently a petition was taken to the emperor of Germany begging him to have all art exportation from that country prohibited. While Americans have bought many valua- ble pleces from dealers of the Fatherland, their prime source of supply Is Paris, where art flourishes as nowhere else in the world. Only recently the Kanns sold their gallery for $5,000,00. The buyer was a Russian Jew who got his start in the world at a blacksmith's anvil. Next to Paris, England fs our greatest source of imported art, Italy ranking third, and Ger- many fourth, It often happens that paintings and other works of art of rare merit and value be- come lost tosight in the mutations of time, and when someone rediscovers them he strikes a plece of rare good luck for himself and for the world of art as well. Not long ago an employe of the immigra- tlon service in New York was traveling in Italy. He was a judge of art and utilized his spare tle in searching for unlisted mas- terpleces. In one of the cities he visited he found a whole collection of such works. He hastened back to America, arranged for financial backing, and hopes to bring them all to this country. One of the most remarkable finds ever can traveler visited a second-hand store in Brussels and bought an old trunk. When he took it home he found a beautiful which the children have. Mr. and Mrs. Towl Home. Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Towl arrived from Mexico Friday and will probably remain in the United States permanently. Mr. and Mrs. Towl say they have enjoyed the two years' visit to the land of “ianana” and “quien sabe.” Mr. Towl said that he had been In the habit of carrylng a parasol to defend himself against the heat and that Nebraska appeared rather cool. He sald that the Americans who went to Mexico thinking to turn the country upside down in & few years and shake the dollars out of it were destined to fallure. Business ventures there are bullt on practically the same footing as here. He said the attrac- tions of the country were numerous and not to be decried.

When examingd by experts the plece was pronounced @, genuine Rubens, and upon being rest as sold for $15,000. In another inst a French citizen bought a canvas for §L.% at an auction at Chay- lons. When, he.took it home and cleaned it up be £ he_had bought a genuine Watteau, valued at $5,000. It had been stored away 1o, rubblsh and was so dust- bogyimed that those in attendance at the auctipn little thought they were witness- ing the sale of a fine old masterpiece. Often pletures of struggling artists are bought by people who are quick to recog- nize genius before it is heralded. In this way plctures may. be bought for a song that later, when the artist becomes famous, greatly increase in value. Not long ago a New York collector sold a lot of pictures for more than $200,000, which he afterwards confessed did not cost him half as much. He had merely anticipated the verdict of the art world on the paintings of persons who were yet unknown. ‘While there are many instances where men have bought pictures for almost nothing, which have afterwards proved of great value, it is no less true that they have pald vast sums for works that were next to worthless. In Europe many art dealers 100k upon the average American millionaire as slmply & man with more money than brains, and do not hesitate to sell him any Some Things You Want to Know Business Side of Art. daub that he may bo foollsh enough to buy. Many artists whose talents are worthy a better cause are contstatly em- ployed In retouching and restoring old canvasses and making them appear to be genulne works of art In hundreds of instances art forgeries have decelved even the best experts. Many objects that have been venerated for scores of years have been found afterwards to be flagrant forgeries. Not less than fifty pleces, some of which had been acquired at great cost, were removed from the Brit- ish museum gallerfcs at Kensington be- causa they proved to be worthless. In 1904 a portrait of Ariosto was Acquired by the Dritlsh government for $160.000. There are many experts who say that not only is it not the work of Titian, but that it is not even a portrait of Ariosto. A war {s now raging betwoen England and Germany. The causis belll is a cer- tain bust bought in England by Dr. Rode, the Berlin art expert and museum direotor, who Is regarded as the world's foremost judge of such objects. He pald $45,000 for the bust. No sooner was it bought than evidence was produced tending to show that It was an early Viotorlan work by Lucas, a second rate English sculptor, copled after a painting by Leonardo. Doo- umentary evidence of its production was sccured, also proof that it had stood long neglected in a garden, and finally it was thown that the wax was the same as that used by Lucas. An examination of the core showed the prescnce of a small plece of old-fashioned British bedeover, RBut Dr. Bode and his German compatriots stand pat and declare the work to ba genulne. The controversy has made it the most popular plece In any of the Berlin museums today, crowds flocking around it all the time. In 1906 the Rokeby Venus, painted by Valasques, now hanging In the National Gallery at London, was bought for $225,00). It 1s now claimed by no less an authority than Sir W. B. Richmond that there are two pigments in the plcture which were not used In the days of Valasquez. The friends of the canvas answer that even this does not show lack of genulneness, since somo restorer might have added these plgments. They point out that many of the known-to-be old masters have been restored in the same w When Dr. Cook presented the plctures in his illustrated lecture, at least the artlsts discovered fraud. After he lectured in Daltimore the artists there got together and discussed thelr impressfons. They agreed that the pictures of Dr. Cook at the pole was a slide made from a picture faked by some artist, but the climax was reached when he showed a plcture of himslf and his two Eskimo attendants in a boat. There was no other person present with them, so, asked the artists, who could have snapped the camera? In the museum of Alglers there Is one object which is unique in the world's list of curiosities. It is a plaster cast of the martyr Geromino in the agony of death. The Algerians put him alive Into a soft mass of concrete, which was presently hardened into a block and used In the con- struction of a fort. This was in 1569, and about forty years later a Spanish writer described the event and told how that particular block could be located. After 300 years the fort was torn down, the block opened and the cast made which now adorns the Alglers exhibit. In Bowing down to the smiling little god Billikin, milllons of people have acknowl- edged the creative genlus of Miss Florence Pretz, a Kansas City girl. Before her creation of Blllikin she was a failure as an artist, at least from a bread-winning standpoint. But Billikin caught the public funcy from the time he invaded Chicago, and it was not long before orders were coming in from everywhere. With the funds thus accumulated Miss Pretz has a studio of her own in Chicago and is af- forded an opportunity for study under the best teachers of that center of art. While there are many Instances where quick appreciation and good financial re- ward have come to the struggling artist, they are the exception and not the rule. Literary men are often dead long years in advance of a true appreciation of their labors. A Poe may peddle his Raven for a song, and a Rliley get fired from a news- paper because his poems are not worth his salary. The works of Rembrandt, Michael Angelo, Rubens and others are valued at millions, but they recelved only a small share of the frults of their labors. BY FREDERIC J, HASKIN. Tomorrow—Saving the Public Domain, Boy Robbers Get Away with Coin Juvenile Highwaymen Hold Up A. 8. Kelly and Secure $24—Two Other Attempts, Advent the holdup kids. “Hold up your hand A. 8. Kelly, superintendent of traffic for the Nebraska Telephone company, at Nin- teenth and Douglas streets, heard the com- mand and complied. A slender youngster with & handkerchief held over his face went through his pockets and removed $24, while his juvenile pal held the gun. The ambitious youth with the mask over- looked u valyable watech and hastened away with the coin. A hurry call was turned in at the police station and a number of patrolmen were deployed about the vicinity, The holdup kids were.gone.

In this it has the co-opera- tion of other upper Missouri river towns which also will lose out If the rallroads are allowed to put In rates glving Kansas City an advantage. A delegation of Omaha business men will leave for Chloago this evening to meat with the traffic officlals of the rafiroads interested and they propose to tell these officials that Omaha has some rights which must be respected. The Commerefal club of Omaha declared itself in favor of prosecuting these cases to the limit In an effort to secure justice for Omaha when the executive committee adopted the following resolution at a spe- elal meeting last week: Be It Therefors Resolved, That the Com- mercial club of Omaha does hereby ex- press its sentiment that this Increase in ratos i unfalr and inadvisable and un- justly discriminative, and that our Influ- ence shall be used in every lawful way to attempt to secure the withdrawal of said increase by the sald rallroads and, falling in this, that we prosecute such complaints before the Interstate Commerce commis- on and take such proceedings in court as may speedily secure justice to this com- munity and to the farmer and stockralser and the reduction of any r be found to be excessive, as well as the Prosscution of any, parties responsitle for same, {f their acts shall have been In any way collusive and contrary to law. Stoux City Joins in Fight. Sloux City has come to the ald of Omaha in an effort to keep rates in effect which are not discriminatory and which if changed in accordance with the proposed Increase by the rallioads would kil the packing in- dustries of other river citles to the ad- vantage of Kansas City. Sloux City busi- ness men have become active and the sentl- ment of that city is shown in an editorial Written by J. C. Kelly, editor of the Stoux City Tribune, in which he says: Injustice in the New Rate. In the attempt of the Missourl river rail- roads to raise the dressed meat rate they have one point vulnerable to attack, They must, nowadays, have an @=cuse for in- creasing rates. The excuse they should always have is that a present rate is not compensatory. And this is_exactly the reason they give for aading 30 per cent to the rate which they have charged for a dozen years for hauling dressed meat from the Missour! river to Chicago. Those called upon to pay naturally deny the soundness of this excuse by the roads. They marshal the facts or trade against It in_overwhelming array The inquiry is natural: Have you not the service at tne rate for years? Do you mean to say you nave just found out ‘the rate s not compensatory? Have you not shortened the aistance, cut out curves, reduced grades, added heavier en- ines ‘and hauled greater tonnage with ewer men, year by year? They have. Now, after all these years and all these improvements, you say you cannot haul as cheaply as you did a dozen years ago. Thig puts the burden of proof on the, rallroads so far as the general public i€ concerned, and if the rallroads are to give any heed' to public opinion they need to begin right here. But.there are two more powerful argu- ments fo refute the soundness of the rail- roads' contention: 1. There been, in addition to the fm- rovement In facllities for handiing Teights, vast increase in yolume. 2. And this one would seem In itself to be conclusive, one road, the Alton, has Just made a five-year contract with Kan- sas Clty packers to do their hauling at the old rate. This contract takes care of Kansas City, but it also emphasizes the injustice to St. Joseph, Omaha and Sioux City. And when these markets are struck ail the people who have done businees with them are injured. ‘here should no uncertain sound in the protest made. It should represent all an¢ reach to the very capitol at Wash- ington. South Omaha Benefits Farmers. At a cost of many million dollars a big market has been created at South Omaha where farmers from this section may ship their stock and be essured of getting the top market price and also be saved the de- lay and expense of shipping to markets further distant. The big packing houses operated in connection with the South Omauha _market give employment to thous- ands of men who form a large part of the population of South Omaha and the dis- tribution of thelr income and the distribu- tlon of money for supplies alds materfally in making South Omaha the olty it now is. The Commercial club takes the posi- tion that it is not right for the rallroads to wipe out In a few days an industry which it has taken years and & great ex- penditure of money to bulld. \ ) A Night Alarm, Worse than an alarm of fire at night is the metallic cough of croup.
