H.C.FRICK ACQUIRES
MORGAN ENAMELS
Bronzes and Tryptychs of
Great Valuo Also in Fifth
Avenue Home.
Henry C. Frlck, who has been a liberal
purchaser from the works of art Included
In the collection ot tha late J. Plerpont
Morgan, was said yesterday taghave en
riched the galleries In h!a h6uso on Fifth
avenue by the addition .of the' famous
Limoges enamels, aonie forty' In num
ber, bronzes and raro tryptychs of great
value. As long ago as 1915 Mr. Frlck
had bought some of the rare Morgan
porcelain china, amounting In price to
more than 11.000.000. Previously he' had
.acquired the famous Fragonard-paint
ings to decorate his Fifth' avenue home.
The purchase of the enamels, which is
said to have been completed some months
ago, although It has Just been made
public. Is said to Involve as much as
$1,500,000. Notable among the enamels
In .the Morgan collection which Mr, Frlck
has acquired are portraits by Leonard
Limousin and earlier artists, suctions
.Monvaernl, Nardon and the' Penlcauds,
The Penlcauds are represented. by threS
members :of this family, Jean fltat, sec
ond and third.
The Morgan collection .was especially
rich In enamels and bronzes which had
come from the Bardlnl, Spltzer Blen
heim and Manhetm collections, when
they were dispersed. The -bronzes,
which are said to be the property now
of Mr. Frlck, about 225 In number, were
catalogued for Mr. Morgan by the. fa
mous Dr. Dode of Berlin. The Byian
tine enamels, numbering forty-four,' are
said to be especially fine. They also
have become the property of Mr. Frlck.
By his purchase of the Morgan Fra
gonards and other valuable paintings
and tapestries as well as the costly
Chinese porcelains In the collection and
his valuable acquisitions from other
Quarters. Mr. Frlck seems to be Justify'
lng the prediction that he would take
the place, of Mr. Morgan as the fore
most of American collectors ot art In
this country.
These pieces are among the most Im
portant In the Morgan collections which
the financier kept for some years at his
London house ot 13 Prince's Gate In
Dover House, Putney, near London, and
in Paris. They were brought to this
country before 1014.

What Is of' much importance to- the

tho rights to the bathing beach will, bo
preserved to them, as has always been
the case. Some years ago that part
of .the sea front belonging to the South

lived In retirement since.' He was 88
years ot age.
Prof. Haeckel was one of those who
signed the circular demanding the retire
ment of Chancellor yon' Bethmann-Holl-weg
In tho autumn of 1916, In which
the .Chancellor was attacked for at
tempting to reach an agreement with
England. He believed fully In the
Justice of Germany going to wax, plac
ing tha blame upon England for econ
omic oppression of his native 'land. In
severing his personal relations with nil
English ties he said that while he would
always venerate the names of Shake
speare, Byron, Newton and Darwin, he
must for political reasons despise Eng
land deeply.
Began as Author When 33.
Prof. Haeckel was only 32 when he
published a book on "General Morph
ology," which was hailed as epoch mak
ing In the history ot biological research.
Ho republished It-later in tl more popu
lar form as The Natural History of
Creation.'1 He carried the theories of
Darwin to more definite conclusions,
tracing the evolution of man through
twenty-six stages and drawing up a
genealogical 'tree showing the origins
and relationships of- the animal king
dom. '
His greatest work, as welt as his most
ambitious, was "The Riddle ot the Uni
verse," published In 1900, inwhlch he
expounded his theory of religion which
he termed "monism." In this work he
held that there Is no creation other than
casual, efficient. Inevitable correlation.
The work was translated Into twenty
languages and ran through many edi
tions. Between 1861 and 1090 he wrote
forty scientific works, many of ttiem il
lustrated by his own hand. He made
special ptudles of the radiolarla, a
species ot the Jelly fish, which formed
the subject ot a large number' of these
works, and gave names to 3,500 new
species. His publication of the "Last
Words on Evolution- In 1906 aroused
the storm of protest from churchmen

against which ,he had fought Mnstattsy
during hta professorship. -
Prof. Haeckel was Jsorn In Potsdam,
February 16, 1834, and spent all his llto
there with the exception ofihls trips over
the continent for scientific research. Ho
was educated for medicine, and started
a practice In Berlin, but turned from It
led by his stronger desire to' study In
biological fields, Tho University ot Jena
finally offered him a professorship And
later built tho Phyletlo Museum for him.
Early Devotes, of New Science.
Darwin's theories had been given to
the world In' 1159, almost colncidently
with the beginning of 'Haeckel' sclen
tlflo career. Before the scientific con
gross at Stettin In 18(1 he mads tho
address that established htm as tho chief
follower of the new sclenoe. The -University
of Jen was asked many times
by the churchmen to dispense with him,
but at the Instigation of Alexander
Dnke of Weimar he was retained. '
As of the cry of heresy began to 'be
allayed Haeckel continued undisturbed.
He entered peacefully upon his retire,
ment, giving considerable consideration
to political affairs, and expressing dis
trust In the .German cosmopolitan ideal.
In 1915 the' publication of his work on
God and immortality caused .a recur
rence of the vigorous criticism that
punctuated his Ions career.
Among his works to be translated
Into-forelgn languages were "Pedigree
of Man,", "Freedom In Science) and
Teaching," "Life in the Deep Seas,"
"The Confession of Faith "of a Man of
Science," "The Wonders of Life" ,uid
"Thel Last Words on Evolution:"

Initial Concert.
Rom. A u 9, Rwslero leoncavallo,
the composer, Is dead.
Ruetiero Leoncavallo was 'born In
Naples on March S, 115 J, and was widely
known as one of pie younger composers
of his country who called Verdi "the old
than." Leoncuvallo had the' friendship
of "Wainer and one of the German com
pendlums of tho lives of those well
known In the world has not hesitated
to say that th form, of his work as a
composer was similar to that of tho
Bayretlth wliard. Of Winner Leon
cavallo himself said: "He was not a
man; he was a revolution., Nobody can
contemplate denying; a -principle with
out thinking of him. 'But It cannot be
denied that one wuy does not do for all.
If I want to put a modern man Into
music, such a man as would walk" on
the" Rlnffstrasse, I cannot take classical
muslo or The Ride of the Valkyries' for
the purpose.- Humperdtnck unrolls the
severest "WUenerlan floods of tone over
a tender fairy story, 'and I always havo
the Impression, of Beelng a dove In an
Iron harness." .
Zieoncavallo lived for a lone tlmo In
Paris. There "tie composed 'songs as well
as'occaslonat pieces and there he planned
his trilogy of Italian history, of which
nts","Medlcl" "is a part. Ho produced Ills
short dramatic opera "I Pacllaccl" at
Milan In the spring of 1892, and It has
remained his best known work. The
"Medfcr was performed first In the fall
of 1891, also' at Milan. It was said of
him that the. success of Mascajmfs short
operas paved the way for the success of
his own. works of his were often heard
at tho Metropolitan Opera House and
at Covent Garden, and alsq at Vienna.
Amontr hta other oubllcatlons were "Lil
Rohe'me" (not so welt 'known here as
Puccini's), "Zaxa." "Roland von Berlin."
'The Youth of Figaro" and 'The Red
Blouse."
In 1906 Leoncavallo made a tour of
this country a couple of months after he
had sent a specially prepared copy of
his then new march "Vivo l'Amer ca" to
President Roosevelt with an autograph

letter In. whfeh be praised Mr, Roosevelt i
ana ine unitea (jiaies. uur visit, How
ever, was far from being a brill ant sue
cess. In fact, some very uncomplimen
tary things were said and written about
him here at the time. A big audience
greeted his first concert, .but of the sec
ond It was written: "Empty seats
loomed Uko financial reofs In the broken
sea of faces. Possibly Mr. Leoncavallo,
who came here lo darkness, saw a great
light If he did not, his vision Is void
Of potency. When the performer pre
sents a local assemblage a discomforting
spectacle of Inadequacy upon his head,
even though It wears a crown of Euro
pean laurel. New Tork launches tho
awful curse of silence and neglect."
The day before .tho composer sailed. tor
lome, however, his compatriots here gavo
him a dinnef In the Astor vaults and he
eald that night that he had been' de
lighted with his reception In this country
and was most grateful to the great
American people. Bolie City, Idaho, he
said, had been especially enthusiastic.
Caruso and Bond and other ot the
lyrlo celebrities came In during the eve

which ex-Coroner Zucca presided.
