WIDENER PAYS $800,000
FOR MORGAN TAPESTRIES
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
NEW YORK, June 1.—Eight hun
dred thousand dollars in cash was
paid to P. W. French & Co., here to
day by Joseph E. Widener of Phila
delphia for two pieces of cloth, neither
of them very large.
For one Mr. Widener paid $600,000
and for the other $200,000.
They wer^^Hvo of the $2,000,000
collection of rare tapestries, gathered
together from the four corners of the
earth by the late J. Picrpont Morgan
and sold after his death by his son J.
P. Morgan.
The Tapestries were today remov
ed from their places in the Metropoli
tan Museum and delivered to Mr.
Widener, who took them to his Phila
delphia home.
The Mazarin tapestry is one of the
greatest works of its kind extant and
some authorities have written that it
is without a peer in the whole world
of art.
It was owned by Cardinal Mazarin,
who guided the government of France
Muring the minority of Louis XIV.
and hence it is always identified by
his name.
It is one of those splendid picture
cloths which are associated with the
golden age of tapestry. It was
woven about the year 1500. Its
foundation is silk and wool and it is
rich in thread of silver and gold.

CHICAGO DUPLICATES N. Y.
PREPAREDNESS PARADE
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CHICAGO, June 3. — A prepared
ness demonstration equal to New
York’s gripped Chicago today. It
was the prelude to a series of big
events which throw this city in the
world’s spotlight of news, for the
next ten days.
Nearly a quarter of a million
Chicago men, women and children, it
is estimated, marched today in a
parade to arouse the nation to pre
paredness. Sober minded men and
women—bankers, politicians, society
women, clerks, shop giHs — from ai>
walks of life who want peace but not
“at any price” marched. There were
50,000 marchers from the United
Young Men’s Clubs alone.
One feature of the parade was the
suffragist section. Another was the
motorcycle section, in which several
thousand motorcyclists rode their
machines.
One hundred and eighty union
chauffeurs offered their cars without
charge to anyone desiring to take part
in the parade. The steel mills in
South Chicago and Gary, I ml., sent
five thousand men.
Illinois National Guard regiments
marched by special permission of Gov.
E. F. Dunne.
It was estimated that Mayor Wil
liam Hale Thompson will have to sit
in the reviewing stand twelve hours if
i he plans to see the parade from start
to fnish.
Major-General E. C. Young headed
the parade. His chief aid was Colonel
Milton J. Foreman, of the First Illin
ois Cavalry regiment, one of the best
equipped cavalry bodies in the Na
• tional Guard.
H. L. Van Wuek, who organized
the huge preparedness parade held in
! New York City recently co-operated
Fine Job Printing at the Gateway Office.

NEWS NOTES
Kelly Oleson has been in the city
some days from Kenai river. Con
ditions on the river were unfavorable
this spring Cor mining.
M. Musgrave, who suffered from a
stroke of paralysis and is now in the
hospital, has progressed so much that
he can understand a person reading
u newspaper to him. He has spent
several days trying to write a name
on a paper. He is still unable to talk.
John Brannen, formerly chief of
police of Nome and father of Jimmie
Brannen who recently discovered pay
on Lewis river, died about ten days
ago at Seattle. At the time of his
death he was inspector in the water
department of Seattle. His daughter
is the wife of the district court clerk
of Nome.
In a copy of the Valdez paper which
arrived yesterday the information
was given that Admiral Sir James
Beattie was lost in the battle of Jut
land. It is hardly likely, however,
that if this were the truth the United
Press would omit the fact since it
gave the names of lesser officers who
were lost. Another account says the
value of the British vessels lost was
one hundred and seventeen million
dollars.
