KANN COLLECTION SOLD FOR FIVE MILLION DOLLARS Highest Record Price for an Art Transfer—May Come to the United States. THE CROSSING VOL. 23 NO. 39. Five million dollars for a collection of paintings, the greatest sum ever paid at any one time for an art transfer, may mean that the world famous Kann collection is coming to the United States. It has been sold in Paris by the heirs of M. Kann, the putocrat muller owner, who made his fortune in South Afric. Nominally, the Duveen Brothers, most noted firm of London art agents, were the purchasers, but as it is hardly credible that they would or could invest a sum of this kind, art lovers have been searching for the buyer of the treasure trove of beauty. Duveen Brothers have done all the buying of paintings for J. Plerpont Morgan, and this, coupled with the fact that the American multi-millionaire has lately had conferences with the firm, leads to the theory that Morgan has a hand. The great financial operator does not deny that he has long wanted to add many of the Kann treasures to his already superb collection. The Kann collection is not one of the oldest in the world, for the money that made it possible has only been amassed within the last generation. Rudolphe Kann first began to be heard of about the time that British exploitation was making fabulous fortunes for Rhodes, De Beers, Barnato and others of that group. Kann was a big and daring investor, and in proportion, just as soon as he found millions at his command, he developed the idea of having an art gallery which should yield nothing in value to that owned by the Baron de Rothschild. Assisted in his work by Dr. Bode, director of the Royal Museum of Berlin, he began to make his selections. He did not seek for numbers, quality was taken into account, so that the purchase be choice. Museums and private connoisseurs soon found that in the mine owner they had to deal with a painting that was not be drawn when it came to a deal with getting what paintings he wanted. After his collection had increased to a size to warrant it, Mr. Kann constructed in Paris a gallery, with the lights so arranged that all his pictures were displayed to their best advantage. The walls were kept in strictest simplicity so that nothing could detract from the brilliance of the matchless canvases he was gradually getting together. He newly newly made Crosses, Mr. Kann was not imposed upon. He trusted absolutely to Dr. Bode, who said to be the best judge of old masters in the world. A hundred alleged old masters were turned down by the shrewd German, and in the entire collection is not a single painting whose authenticity can be questioned. Some two hundred paintings gradually collected in the stately mansion on the Avenue de laen, most of them having been secured only after spirit contests with the representatives, and the art galleries of New York, London, and Berlin. Several times J. P. Morgan against Kann in the scramble for some noted canvas, but the European declined to let the Western millionaire get the better of him. The privilege of visiting the Kann collections was one sought by nearly every art lover who visited Paris, for some of the famous Rembrandts were known to be there, and the student who wished thoroughly to know the Dutch master must needs seek an extension of the hospitality of M. Kann. This was not difficult to obtain, for the master of these priceless canvases better than the hear them praised. In know the collection he had one invariable system. He displayed the room devoted to the early Flemish and Dutch school and Italian school. A beautiful stained glass window of the Italian renaissance, representing the annunciation of Lorenzo di Credi, gives softness and solemnity to this room. There is a Venetian bass-relief of St. George killing the dragon, and there are several fine, frescos, medallions and busts, all of the same period. Among the paintings are the "Christ on the Cross," by Glovani Bellini; a "Descent From the Cross," by Tiepole; a head of an old man by the same artist; a landscape by Guardi, and bronze; Andrea del Castagno and Bronzino. Andrea del Castagno and Bronzino. Near by are the Flemish pictures, superb works of Rogier van der Wergen, Josse Van Cleve, Gerard David, Kirk Bouts, and by Memlins, whose two altar doors are considered by amateurs to be the finest paintings known of that great master. Then when visitors had sufficiently admired here, Kann took them into another room where the Flemish school of a century later had glorious representation in superb works by Rubens and Van Dyck, including four paintings by the former. Rubens' paintings of Meleager, bringing the boar's head to Atlanta, is the original, the better known one of the Cassel museum being a replica. The Van Dycks include portraits of the Marquise Durazur, of Alexander Triest, and of the conqueror of Breda, Gen. Spinola. The same walls also hold a fine family still life canvas by Jan Fyt, and the works by Teniers the younger. Adrien Cawer, Malchor the Hondecceler, Abraham Van Beyeren and Adrian Van Iltrecht.

There is the "Old Woman Cutting Her Fingernails" and portraits of Rembrandt's faithful housekeeper, Hendrickle Stoffels. These form the finest collection of Rembrandts to be found in any private gallery in France. Among other examples Maes, Metsu, Pleter de Hooch, Jan Steen, Paul Potter, Suyp, Wouvermans, the Brothers Adraan and Isaac Van Ostade, Hobbens, Keyser, Van Delft and by Frans Hals, whose portrait of a young woman is deemed one of the most remarkable pictures that Hals ever painted.

It is not likely that this collection will be split up, for it was the desire of M. de Meyer to preserve its entirety, and not to be separated. The heirs have been sculpulin in carrying out his wishes in other matters, and Paris does not believe they have been remiss in this instance. ALMOST BRING8 DEAD TO LIFE. Apparatus for Resuscitating Persons Apparently Dead. An apparatus for producing artificial respiration has recently been devised whereby in cases of suspended animation the action of the heart and lungs can be renewed. Prof. George Poe, the inventor of the apparatus, does not insist that with its use life can be brought back, but claims, according to the Scientific American, that by artificial means applied through the instrumentality of the respirator persons killed by asphyxiation, poison or drowning can be resuscitated; that the death of persons under the influence of anaesthetics while being operated upon can be prevented; that its use will prevent infant asphyxia at birth; that a drunken person can be sobered in a few minutes, and that a person electrified or hanged—in the latter case, where the neck has not been broken—can be revived, and that the freezing to death of Arctic explorers can be obviated. These results are accomplished by stimulating normal respiration through artificial means. A demonstration was made on a rabbit. Two grains of morphine were injected into the leg, after which four ounces of other were administered. It was believed by the experimenters that life was positively extinct, as the application of every known test failed to reveal any sign of life. In this condition the tubes of the apparatus were applied to the rabbit's nostrils, and on pumping the poison with one cylinder pumping oxygen into the lungs with a simultaneous movement of the valves, within three minutes the rabbit, but lately pronounced dead, was breathing naturally, and within six minutes it was running about the room. The ether was entirely out of the system, as there was no indication of nausea. Too Many Quall in Colorado. Their fields are so overrun with quall that their grain crops are being ruined, the farmers of Montrose county have applied to State Game Commissioner Farr to declare an open season on the birds. A few years ago a shooting club imported a large number of California quall into Montrose county and these birds have increased so rapidly that they are now said to be a monte to the ranchmen. Thousands of quall settle on a promising field of grain at one time and in a few hours it is completely stripped and valueless. "The meanest friend I ever knew," said a member of the Century club, "was a fellow who used to belong to this club. He used to bore us for hours telling of the smart sayings of his children. It was something fierce. He had been, and we discovered that he had been,—he was an old bachelor. He'd been, springing that line of stuff for years, just to watch us writel!" Defective Page THE RACE GLORIFIER, WINNER OF BROOKLYN HANDICAP At a time when gambling in every other form is being bitterly assailed, when railroad manipulation of the kind practiced by E. H. Harriman is being the subject of national legislation, when Wall street is under bitter fire, and the powers are trying to find a way to deal with Monte Carlo, gambling on horse racing has reached this year its highest figures, in the history of the game in the United States. Never have sums so great been waged on the tracks of New York, Washington or other cities and other places where law permits the public to be separated from its dollars on the chance of which horse shall finish first. The figures were astounding. More money, three times as much in fact, is bet on racing every year in this country as constitutes Uncle Sam's one hundred million-dollar gold reserve. Three hundred million dollars every year. It is six times as much as congress felt necessary to vote to President McKinley to carry the Spanish war to a successful conclusion. Of this huge sum $50,000,000 in round numbers makes up the profit of the beakers, those who handle betting the machines, those who handle the poolsman who maintain rooms in the hotel can lose its cash without the time trouble and expense of going to the track where the races are being run. In many states of the Union betting on the races has been prohibited, with the result that once prosperous tracks are being overgrown with weeds. This is notably the case in places like New Jersey, where the act of a legislature ended the career of the noted Gloucester track, and in Missouri, where Gov. Folk put an end to the track. But the fact that the race cannot race in a state by no means stops gambling. The telephone and telegraph are ever at the call of the professional gambler, and that public which is always ready to be his victim. It is safe to say without a trace of exaggeration that money was wagered on the outcome of the suburban, Brooklyn and Metropolitan handicaps in every state of the United States, and that after New York State, Illinois, a thousand miles away, wagered more money than any of its sister states. In many in who should with these big events. Despite the often expressed admiration of the public for the noblest of animals, the horse, racing could not exist without gambling. Your good sportsman will pay his money to go to a baseball or football game, without any thought of putting down a wager, and will enjoy the sport for sport's sake. But a horse race without a bet is like playing poker for fun, with no value attached to the chips. Something about the horse seems to stand in mankind—womankind, too, for that reason. The man makes a wager, and the habit once becomes stronger than run appetite, for it is never thoroughly eradicated. The public bears mainly of the big bettors, the men like James R. Keene.

Gates, John A. Drake, the Belmonts, Whitney, John who wager and lost a hundred thousand dollars without so much as changing color. But these world-famous gamesters are really pilkers compared to some of the smaller fry who line the rails of the stands at the big tracks. Here are clerks, mechanics and minor employees, who, stirred by the heat of gaming, have risked a week's wages, a month's wages, money that belongs to children or cash perhaps flipped or stolen from an employer on the chance that in the plunging mass of thoroughbreds the man have picked will manage to survive accidents, overcome his fleet rivals and land first. It is never hard to pick the man who has won, for only in the faces of those whose wealth carries them beyond the danger of need can be found perfect serenity when great risk is being run. In the grandstands of all the tracks the spectators are fairly well controlled. Delirium only comes occasionally, but out here along the rail the better who has won kicks his heels together, waves his arms, sings, shrieks, yells and comports himself a man benef of mental control. Means his face hardens at the luck and meditates wild schemes by which he can retrieve his losses. In order that the nation may undergo these pangs there are more than thirteen hundred racing days to a season in this country, and 6,000,000 admissions are paid at the gate. Twenty thousand men and boys, including NEALON, WINNER OF Not less than $3,000,000 w owners, trainers, breeders, jockeys, stable boys and the army of betting men, devote themselves directly to the racing game the year round.

Racing in the United States comes under the control of four principal bodies, the Jockey club, the West- JAMES R.

All these are legally constituted and have the strong arm of the law back of their actions, which makes it difficult for reform to make way against the betting now existing. Unlike other forms of gambling, which may be played in quiet, this gigantic conspiracy on the public purse is conducted boldly in the open, with the statutes of the states as a shield. The profits of the bookmakers and poolsellers are astounding. Ordinarily SUBURBAN HANDICAP. as won and lost on this race. they run into several hundred per cent. It is nothing for a big New York firm of bookmakers to clear a hundred thousand dollars in the seven months if racing permitted in the State of New York. This is the net result after cash has been paid for all expenses, including police protection. Perhaps the firm is made up of two or three men, which means anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000 apiece for a few hours' work daily. This money comes from the people, the poor, those who have small chance of going ahead on their salaries, and who, lured by the hope of quick returns, take a chance in that of gambling, whose inevitable end is embezzlement, forgery, drunkenness, disloyalty to the wife and home, and in extreme cases even to suicide and murder. In most cases those who have charge of the racing game have been skillful enough to secure for themselves a virtual monopoly. Through understandings with legislatures they secure enactment of laws that make poolslighting illegal, at the same time taking care to have loopholes provided which prevent the enforcement of laws designed to prevent betting at the tracks. Wanted His Name Changed A petition was recently filled in a Tennessee court by a man named Damm praying that he be allowed to change his name to that of Hamm. The petitioner, who is a native of Denmark, set forth in his petition to the court that his name had caused him considerable annoyance on more than a thousand occasions. His feelings had been particularly hurt since the souvenir postcard bearing portraits of "The Whole Damm Family" had been placed on the market. The court granted the prayer of the petitioner, and his name was changed to Hamm.—Case and Comment. The Wise Reply.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1907. THE W.-V. AFTERMATH A funny aftermath of the Williams-Vardaman senatorial contest is that what is called the "notorious Carter letter" is still a theme of discussion. That letter was supposed to have been written in Washington and its circulation did Mr. Williams a whole lot of harm, and there was some suspicion that Mr. Vardaman was responsible for its clandestine circulation, but that was flatly denied by Mr. Williamson, chairman of the Vardaman committee. Commenting upon the denial, the Aberdeen Examiner says: "As to the payment of $150 to the Washington Negro, Carter, by somebody, for writing the letter that was mentioned by the Examiner as a Jackson rumor, and brought to us direct from the capital by very vellae parties, and was doubtless heard by Mr. Williamson before his 'attention was called' to * by Examiner editorials. A strange thing in this connection is that Carter, who never was in Mississippi, and did not know any Mississippi plans, should write such a letter, and still stranger thing is that he should so thoroughly understand our campaign situation, and be so perfectly cognizant of the location of the GAS THE LATE PRESIDENT McKINLEY Whose Memorial Monument will be Dedicated Monday, September 30.

"That document could not have been constructed upon more artistic lines if all the genius, cunning and experience of any shrewd committee, campaign or not, had been requisitioned for the job." Since, nolens volens, the Afro-American was hauled into the hurlyburly, THE APPEAL cannot see that either Williams or Vardaman can accuse Carter, whoever he may be, for taking a hand. There was no butting in in the case, since both candidates brought the Afro-American into the limelight. THE APPEAL must congratulate "Carter" upon doing his stunt so admirably as to excite the admiration of the Aberdeen Examiner. And, moreover, "Carter" has, doubtless done good work by enlightening Vardaman as to the capacity of the Afro-American. MAKING FAKIRS AND BOOD LERS. The following deliverance by Gov. Warfield is of great interest at this time: "I am the Governor of Maryland—the governor of all the people of this state, and so long as I am in the executive chair I do not ever intend to be a partisan as respects the suffrage rights of the people, nor do I intend that there shall be placed in the hands of any election judge or any politician to decide whether this or that man shall have the right to cast a ballot." As Georgia has just enacted a law which subjects the right of a citizen to vote to the caprice of the election officers, such an utterance is worthy of special commendation. The device of the primary election, while it narrows down the number of candidates to the one who carries the primary, has had no influence in lessening the amount of cheating and has rendered necessary a number of extraordinary precautions in order to secure some degree of fairness. The participants in the primaries in the South are men of one race and one party, yet their utmost efforts can scarcely avail to secure a reasonable amount of fairness, what then must be the condition of things in a state which has a law especially designed to render cheating at elections a practice of general prevalence. Georgia has just such a law and it will train her young white men to be fakirs andoodlers. Emerson says: "God's dice are always loaded." THE 15th AMENDMENT It is often asserted by the South ern newspapers that the Supreme Court has virtually recognized the validity of the Southern schemes for the nullification of the 15th Amendment, and it is well that the real facts in the case should be known. They are given in an address delivered to the state university of Georgia, by Hon. Wm. H. Fleming, a distinguished citizen of that state. The Mississippi law that the only squarely considered and directly construed by the Supreme Court (170 U. S. 475) does not contain the grandfather clause. That was a device of later invention. The case of Giles vs. Harris (189 U. S. 475) involving the Alabama law, was dismissed in the Supreme Court for want of jurisdiction in the lower court—but Justices Brewer, Brown and Harlan dissented in vigorous terms. The latest case, of Jones vs. Montague (194 U. S. 147) involving the Virginia law, was dismissed because the act sought to be enjoined—the issuing of certificates of election, etc., to members of Congress—had already been done, and, the congressmen had taken their seats before the case was reached in the Supreme Court." We make this quotation because leading newspapers have claimed emphatically that the Supreme Court has expressly recognized the Southern anti-15th Amendment legislation. IT HAS DONE NOTHING OF THE KIND. WAY DOWN SOUTH. Way down south in Dixie, that is to say in Georgia, grand juries throughout the state have adopted the following: "After January 1, 1908, every minister who hands sacramental wine to his members will subject himself to as many indictments as there are members. "Every deacon who hands the sacramental wine to the members of the church will subject himself to as many indictments as there are members. "We petition the general assembly of Georgia to make such amendments to the law as will follow the Christian people of this state to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience without violating the laws of the state." Now Gov. Hoax Smith is an elder in the Presbyterian church, and as such may be called upon to assist in administering the communion and thereby lay himself liable to a few hundreds of indictments.

Six battle-scarred veterans of the old bachelor-club, organized several years ago and well known in social circles as the T. B. H. B's, met for the first time in two years in the reception room of the Valet Tailoring Company on Tuesday last, at a supper, and for the purpose of recruiting their thin ranks, made so by the continued warfare of "Dan Cupid" on its members. The original members of the club who are now beneficents and therefore dropped by the bachelors are: S. Edward Hall, James Edward Murphy, Wm. Payne and Bismarck Archer. The meeting Tuesday was very solemn, and resolutions of sympathy were passed and copies ordered to be sent to their fallen brothro. And when Col. A. Worden Haynine added the bachelor set, stated that he called at the house of one of the old members and asked him to 'go for a walk' and told that he could not go, as his wife would not let him," this brought tears to the eyes of the remaining members. The following new members were taken in: Willis Dickinson, John Hickman, Jr., E. I. Robinson and Leonard Roberts. Those present at the meeting were A. Worden Haynes, F. D. McCracken, R. Sidney Harris, Maurice Hickman, Clarence Smith, and James Howard. A telegram was read from Wm. French, one of the old members, who is now in Colorado, calling on his comrades to stand firm, as "bachelor life is the only life." The sumptuous, repast was served by the Dublin Inn.

E. church was crowded with the friends and well wishers of Rev. and Mrs. H. S. Graves, the occasion being a reception to welcome them back home from conference. And, if their heads are a little larger than they were before the reception there is good excuse, for the reception was most complimentary and flattering. The church was decorated with cut flowers and other flowers, the awardesses and other ladies of the church and presented a pleasing appearance. Seated within the chancel rail were: Rev. and Mrs. Graves and son, Rev. lii. Lockey of St. Peter A. M. E. church, Minneapolis; Rev. A. H. Lealtad, of St. Philip's Episcopal church; Rev. W. D. Carter of Pilgrim Baptist church; Rev. D. Harding, Rev. J. S. Strong, Mrs. W. J. Allen of Minneapolis; Mrs. R. C. Minor, Mrs. Bettie Patterson, Mrs. Valdo Turner, Mrs. George Duckett, Mrs. B.

Luca, cello, furnished an overture, after which Rev. J. S. Strong invoked divine blessings. Mrs. George Duckett gave a very admirable paper full of good things. Rev. A. H. Lealtad followed with some very pleasing and encouraging remarks; following Mrs. J. W. Allen sang "Love Me and the World is Mine," and for the deserved encore rendered, "I Wonder if You'll Miss Me as I Miss You?" She was in good voice and sang delightfully, Mrs. Bismark Archer was her accompanist. Mrs. Bettie Patterson treated all to a very delightful surprise by the admirable manner in which she rendered a couple of Paul Laurence Dunbar's poems, "The Party," and "A Coquette Conquered." In fact, she "brought down the house. Rev. Lacky followed with some excellent remarks, which made a very favorable impression. Rev. W. D. Carter was next on the program, and his remarks were very apropos and pleasing. Mrs. Valdo Turner was next and made a very delightful speech, her theme being "Heroes." The finale was furnished by Mrs. R. C. Minor, our sweetest songstress, who in her imitative style, sang "Vanka's Song," and for an encore stay "Say in Your Own Backyard," and for a second encore rendered "Sing On, Sweet Bird." Rev. H. S. Graves then made a very fine response to all the good things that had been said of him and his wife and expressed his gratitude and appreciation of the occasion. Rev. D. Harding pronounced the benediction. The ladies then served everybody in the church fine ice cream and cake bountifully, and this ended one of the most pleasant affairs ever held in the church.
