PAID BIG SUM FOR A GIIIGER JAR CAP

fTo Complete Collection J. P. Morgan Would Have Spent a Million.

New York, June 23. The $35,000 Blenheim ginger jar of the peroid of 1662, long languishing under a wooden cap in the Morgan collection of Chinese porcelains, now has a real porcelain cap with its glazed upper urface covered with hawthorne blossoms of the identical pattern as in the rase proper. The $10,000 Kuan-Yin Goddess of Mercy statuette of 149ft, also of the same collection, for many centuries parted from Its base, now reposes gracefully upon its original stand of Ming pottery. Dut for a rapless Blenheim ginger Jar and a standless Goddess of Mercy, J. IMerpont Morgan, with his $1,000,000 collection In the Metropolitan Museum of Art. would have been the world power In Chinese porcelains. Today the Blenheim has its cap, and the Ming statuette her really truly stand. Rivals are Surpassed Shed a tear for the rival Grandldler collection In Tarts and the rival Baiting collection In London, for the Morgan collection now surpasses them both. As to tho importance of the porcelain cap for tho Blenheim ginger Jar the late William M. La f fan. the great art connoisseur, oftn told of standing one day with Mr. Morgan at the , cabinet which held this particular vase, which came originally from the famous Marlborough collection. "Laffan. I want a cap for that Jar," aid Mr. Morgan suddenly, as he waved his cane excitedly before him In his characteristic way. "Get it, if It costs $1,000,000." Mr. Laffan tried for many years to locate tho cap which belonged upon the vase. Ilia agents scoured the temples of China without avail. Refused to Explain When Mr. Lnffan died last fall fall Thomas B. Clark, also an art connoisseur, took up the task of completing the catalogue of Mr. Morgan's collection. It was during tho period of Mr. Clark's supervision that the cap appeared on the Blenheim vase nd the wooden cap disappeared. "Just say the cap came from another vase of the Morgan collection," said Mr. Clarke when asked to explain the porcelain phenomenon. "There is every reason to believe the cap belonged to the Blenheim vase, and that they have been reunited after many years. Remarkable? Well, the case of the stand of the Goddess of Mercy is even more interesting. This statuette 'was made on the first day of the first moon new year in the tenth year of the Emperor Hung-Cblit, 1498. It comes from the collection of the late Charles A. Dana, but when In his possession had no stand. Recently the original stand In pottery came to light In China. Cer tain marks absolutely Identify It."

ers. A study of suicide statistics

tracing them to their primal cause will

play a large part in the dissertations, and it is expected that at the close of the discussion, important resolutions will be adopted, looking toward the mitigation of crime throughout the world.
