PAGE NINE EXPERT TRACES OLD PORTRAITS !T Meteorological Report LONDON (UP) Th Earl of Rom berry. possewsor of ona of the finest ixt collections tn England, hu come forth to settle "for once and for all" an old controversy about the authen ticity of two George Washington por traits, painted by Stuart. The dispute arose when It was an nounced that Knoedler's, famous London auction house, had acquired the original of Gilbert Stuart's paint ings of "The Father of Hts Country." The Earl of Roseberry replied, rath er tersely, that the Knoedler canvas, painted In Philadelphia In 179S on commission of Samuel Vaughan, who was a friend or Washington, was by no' means the original of Stuart's Washington portraits. "X possess a letter written and signed by George Washington mak ing an appointment to sit for the portrait and there is a footnote signed by Stuart on March 0. 1823, saying that this was the only original portrait he ever made of Washington t except one he owned himself," the earl announced. The one which Stuart referred ot as retaining In his own possession is a full-length portrait which has been In possession of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia since 1811, the Earl of Roseberry atd, "The other one, which Stuart's fcotnote said was In the possession of Samuel WllKams of London, has since come into my hands." he added London art critics, after examining the facts, ruled In the earl's favor, awarding him claim to Stuart's only original portrait of Washington ex cept the ona on view in Philadelphia. After Stuart painted the president In 1795 be proceeded, however, w make 11 replicas, all of small size, and the American painter. Rem brandt Peale, likewise made 59 copies.

France (UP) A Hindu's hypnotic boldups with an "all-powerful eye" which leads cashiers and clerks to pay up without a murmur is mysitylng the French Riviera. A Hindu magician strolled Into a travel office, gazed at the cashier un til he submitted to hts will and handed over 4000 francs (about $375) from the till. "I could not resist his eyes," the cashier told the police. On another occasion, the Hindu walked Into a bank, threw a bundle of ba nknotes on the coun ter and asked the cashier to change them for no'es of larger denomination. The cashier found there were 100 francs more than the Hindu 'had bp id. "You are an honest man," the Hindu said, "and as a reward I will read your hand." The cashier said the Hindu took his left hand, gazed into his eyes, and began ordering him to take money out of the cash box. "I felt I suddenly lost all my will power." he said, "and It was only five minutes after he had gone that I re called I had given him money. I was hypnotised." A cashier in a hotel at Cannes told a similar story. The Hindu Just gazed at him and he gave up 880. It would have been more, but that was all there was In the till. But the Hindu's greatest triumph was to hypnotise a Riviera barman Into giving him a drink without pay tng. Ose Mai Tribune want ada 10 PARIS (UP) The Paris tout have formed a union. Tipping "the winner of the next race" for a small fee la no longer a profession open to all comers. Due to the depression, there have been too many recruits In the Union of tlpstera who infest the horse rac ing tracks In Paris snd vicinity, so the "old-timers" hsve banded to gether to keep out the undeslrsbles. The tipsters plan to Issue a special union card, wltbout which no tipster would be alloV'XI to "work." Racing societies are ssld to be agreeable to the project. There la even talk of forming an academy where apprentice tipsters would receive a thorough training in the proper way to "spiel," these youngsters being allowed to take the place of the oldsters who die or go broke by backing their own tips. "Tipping race winners and making the public buy your tips is a fine art." aald M. Polowlcz, president ol the new union. "Not everyone can do It, and lately we have had an In vasion of novices, a variety of un employed people of all kinds, and plenty of Russian princes and gener als and former cavalry officers, all fighting for the few clients that are atlll left to us, so we decided to keep them out." The usual fee for a "euro winner" Is 1 or 3 franca (7 centa or 14 centa), but the upper strata in the profes sion, fellows who wear gray spats, top hate and a pair of prism binocu lars,, ask and get as much sa 10 francs (70 centa) for "certainties."
