TILL CITY PUNT
WORK BEGINS
Mayor Declares Present Oppo
sition to Crematory Will
Amount Only to Delay.
v.vocates of the new garbage dis
plant were gratified today when
Mayor Courtland S. Winn returned to
: duties and announced that he would
,: 0 ;d) he could to make good the J276,-
n crematory contract. He said that
present opposition to the contract
,-ild at most amount only to a delay
al;C i that tlie new crematory would be
built.
Mayor Winn arrived last night from
Plninfield, N. J., where he has been 111
for about two weeks. Over the protest
o f Mr-. Winn and the advice of his phy.
aieians, he announced that he will stay
rr, the city until the crematory matter
; closed and work Is begun on the new
plant. After that it is expected he will
2 n to Florida for a rest.
Mayor Winn said he was surprised
Aiderman Arthur Van Dyke had
taken the position that he would use his
Mcermanic prerogative and hold up the
ontract to tear down the old crema
m.T in preparation for the new at the
•;cxt meeting of the aldermanic board.
He said Van Dyke was one of the most
■rtlent advocates of the crematory plan
when it was adopted by council.
Declaring that the $276,000 plant was
not a waste of money, Mayor Winn said
;hat the SIOO,OOO electric power plant
contemplated would be one of the best
assets the city could possibly have. He
- ■;,! it would be the nucleus for a com
plete municipal power plant.
Woodward Continues Fight.
James G. Woodward today continued
h> fight to prevent the aldermanic
board from approving the contract to
tear down the old crematory. He said
- purpose was to prevent the tearing
/own of the old crematory, for it would
ieiwe the city tor a year without any
u-ans of garbage disposal.
Mr. Woodward has appealed to the
muni'- board to delay action until
he iti go North and investigate means
of garbage disposal. He will visit Mil
waukee and Staten Island, where the
Destructor Company has built plants
similar to Atlanta’s.
The Milwaukee plant, though larger,
many thousands less than the At
’.uitr plant will cost, but it is said it is
rotiiing like so efficient as the proposed
one.
Tee Destructor Company took the
moral obligation for all but $50,-
00 of the cost of the crematory. James
ii. Woodward opened his attack by de
claring the contract illegal. The main
point in the fight that has developed is
whether the city’s moral obligation con
tract will be able to stand an attack or
not.
This matter seriously involves the
city's credit and is more important than
whether it is economical to build the
$276,000 plant.

Painting Stolen From Louvre
Might Have Been in Bronx,
But Wasn’t.
♦
NEW YORK, Nov. 4. —Secret service
men and others for a time last week
were on the trail of the missing "Mona
Lisa," stolen from the, Louvre in Paris.
They went out to find one "Mona Lisa,”
and found five, four painted and one
living.
The tip that caused them to believe
that the celebrated painting, estimated
to be worth $500,000 and considered
priceless by the French government,
came in the form of an anonymous let
ter, which read:
The "Mona Lisa" stolen from the
Paris Louvre is at No. 895 Kelly
street, in the Bronx. Look for the
name of Farjeon. I can not dis
close my name until the proper
time.
No. 895 Kelly street Is an apartment
house at the corner of Intervale ave
nue. There lives Herbert Farjeon, a
poet, with his mother and his wife, who
was Miss Caroline Becker, an artist of
the Pacific slope.
Hist! the Sleuths Are on the Scent.
Into the Bronx with nothing to guide
them but the address and name and
expense account went Customs In
spectors Sullivan and Smedden. Mrs.
Farjeon was found at home. The men
talked to her and saw about them
three copies of the "Mona Lisa Two
were in black and white and one in
oil. On the wall was a frame three
by four feet, from which a canvas had
been removed.
The canvas was found behind a
trunk. That was proof enough that
there was something wrong about it,
even if Mrs. Farjeon had not been so
sincere in her protestations. Then Far
jeon himself arrived. He showed them
that the pictures, while copies of the
one that formerly rested in the Louvre,
were made with his wife posing. W ith
the four "Mona Lisas” in black and
white and color and the living one be
fore them, the customs inspectors de
cided that there was nothing to be done.
Wife Resembles Real “Mona Lisa.”
Farjeon said that he had been so
impressed with Mrs. Farjeon’* resem
blance to the original picture when he
met her first he had induced her to
paint the ones the police had uncov
ered.
Farjeon. in addition to being a poet,
is also in the theatrical business, and
a week ago. at the Grand opera house,
he and his wife presented a sketch en
titled "The Mona Lisa,”, written by
James Clarence Harvey.

SCANDALOUS ABUSE
ELECTED WOODWARD,
DECLARES MINISTER
Petty, partisan politics and mud
slinging. declares Rev. E. Dean Ellen
wood, of the First Unlversalist church,
caused the defeat of Aldine Chambers
for mayor and the rebuke by the city
of the Men and Religion Forward
Movement. Dr. Ellenwood made this
statement in a sermon to a good-sized
audience at the church last night. He
took as iiis subject, ''Why Woodward
Won."
The result, declared the pastor, was
due to the employment of “vitupera
tion and abuse which bordered closely
on the scandalous, and all in the name
of religion."
“Indeed,” he continued, “it seems not
too much to say that in her repudia
tion of the campaign methods of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
Atlanta has given most encouraging
evidence of her deep, underlying con
sciousness of the eternal reality, and
has vigorously voiced her protest
against the cheap and flagrant profana
tion of religion's sacred symbol.”
