SMALL PAINTING STOLEN
AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS
IN DIFFERENT CITIES
Some singular attraction possessed
ly a small Ml painting baa resulted In
i mystery which several artists and
nembers nf the Atlanta Art Association
are trying to solve.
After being exhibited In several cities
h various parts of the country and
iftcr three unsuccessful attempts had
Iren made to steal It, this small paint-
hit by Edward Gregory Smith, a well-
inoun artist exhibiting in the art show
h Atlanta has been stolen.
It was painted on n piece of board
ind enclosed In a small gold frame. Mr.
Jre,»)ry went out to lunch Friday and
eft the exhibition rooms In the Alfrlend
building open, as had been the case In
the past. Many people ■ visited the
rooms In his absence and when he re
turned he round the fourth attempt to
take the picture had been successful.
The frame was pulled out from the Wall
and the picture had been removed.
"Why anyone should steal It,” said
Mr. Smith, "Is beyond my comprehen
sion. It waa a small winter scene of
no particular beauty and of very little
Intrinsic value. It Is a picture which
could hardly be sold by anyone not an
artist. Why It has attracted the at
tention of crooks In the past I have
never been able to understand."
In Chicago an effort waa once made
to cut the picture from the frame, the
thief thinking It was on canvas. An
other time several tacks were removed
from the back and the picture loosened,
and another time the picture and frame
were removed from the wall. The pic
ture Is a small affair of five Inche.s, and
could be ealsly placed In a pocket. Fri
day morning It was sold and In tHe aft
ernoon It was stolen. Mr. Smith says It
must have seme peculiar fascination,
but what he Is unable to understand.
The exhibition Is under the auspices of
the Art Association and tps members
are trying to solve the myitery.

LARGE COLLECTION
TAKEN BT ASSEMBLE
Dlckeon, Tenn., May 20.—The after
noon session of the Cumberland Pres
byterian genera] assembly, held under
the great tent here yesterday, was for
men only, and was conducted by Dr.
J. L. Hudgins, the retiring modera
tor of the assembly. Dr. Hudgins an
nounced that he wanted to raise 110,000
to defray expenses Incident to the inl
and Alabama and Broad and Marietta
streets were treated to a bit of excite
ment In the nature of a lively hunt for
a lost child, which had been forgotten
and left on a. Grant Park trolley car
by Its mother.
Police Captain Norman, who Was
mounted, had stopped at Whitehall and
Alabama streets, when a young wom
an, breathless and agitated, rushed up
to him and cried out that she had left
her child on a Grant Fark car, and
Implored the captain to find It for her.
. The car had gone In the direction of
Broad and Marietta streets, the moth
er stated. Captain Norman at once
galloped away on hie horde In an ef
fort to overtake the car, and the anx
ious mother excitedly ran as fast as
she could after him. At the corner of
Broad and Marietta he rodl about all,
of the park cars and made a search,
but failed tn find the lost child. He
then galloped back along Broad street
toward Alabama and caught a glimpse
of the mother as she sprinted down
Alabama and disappeared Into White
hall.
The name of the mother was not
learned, and It Is not known whether
she ever found her child, as that was
the last seen of her by the captain.

FACING* CRISIS
Cotton Crop Outlook -Is
Gloomy, Says State
'Expert.* . p- :
“On May 20. this year, le,a than 10 per
cent of the cotton crop tn Georgia will
have been chopped out and cultivated prop
erly," sold Commissioner of Agriculture
Hudson Monday.
“I have never seen worse farming condi
tions lu the state than exists now. And
It Is not the farmers’ fenlt, either. The
freete killed thousands of acres of ths
plaut already up. Following tho second
pluming, rsfn began and hat continued,

for weeks. . .
"As a conseuueoco you enn tee hundreds
of arres where the cotton Is not up, anil
others where the grsee obscures the plnnt.
It Is n well known theory smons farmers
that cotton not chopped out by the latter
part of liny will not produce much staple.
"I nm not a pessimist, and hope and be
