The Zelm picture, the artist, and a diagram showing where the valuable painting was stored in its case 'on
board the sream cr La Tonraine.
ItEPUBLlC SPTCTAU
New York, June 1. The police of two con
tinents are at work trying to solve the
mystery of tho disappearance of the valu
able painting by Felix Zlem which was
shipped via the American Express Company
from Paris to New York, but never reached
this city.
. Somewhere between No. 11 Rue Scribe.
Paris, and the New York Custom-house, tho
beautiful painting, which some critics say
is worth $15,000, was stolen. No other ex
planation fits the case, for the simple rea
son that the box In which the picture was
packed and the frame which held It reached
the Custcm-house all right. Only tho panel
Mas missing.
The theft was discovered when the cus
toms officials weighed the package. It was
discovered to be lighter than It was when
shipped by tho express company from No. 11
Hue ScrlDe. Ihls fact aroused suspicion
and the box was opened. One glance showed
the empty frame and revealed a theft w hich
for Ingenuity and mystery rivals any
Transatlantic theft on record and threatens
to baffle the sleuths of America and Eng
land for many months.
ricTuiiE pnoitAiiLY wili,
11E HIDDEN A LOMi TIME.
There Is scant chance that the picture will
be seen again for many years. A painting
Bigned by Zlem. iould attract lmmealato at
tention in any art store or studio where the
present possessor of It might hope to get any
thing like the true value of the work. Dis
covery of the thief would immediately fol
low. According to the theory of the New
York police the theft was accomplished be
fore the package was placed on board
La Touralne, and that It was the work of
a highly accomplished thief a man or wom
an who possesses financial and other re
sources and can afford to wait five years
or ten, if necessary, to dispose of the
stolen masterpiece.
llEAVAItD OFFCnED FOR
HETTR.. Oil DISCOVERY OF THIEF.
The following notice has been sent out by
the express company accompanying a cir
cular describing the picture:
"To Picture Dealers and Others:
"STOLEN PICTURE.
"On April 9, there was shipped through
the American Express Company. 11 Rue
Scribe, Paris, to New York, a case con
taining a painted panel by Zlem, which
Is fully described under the reproduction
on this circular.
"The case was delivered on April 10 to
the railroad company at St. Lazare Sta
tion, Paris, was forwarded to Havre by
express and shipped on board the S. S.
La Touralne, which sailed for New York
April 12. Upon the case being opened at
the Custom-house In New York, the paint
ed panel was found to have been abstracted
from the frame.
"A liberal reward will be paid for any
Information which may lead to the de
tection of the thief, or the discovery of
the picture." W. S. DALLIBA,
"Manager In Europe."
BEAETIFEL CAXAL SCENE

In the circular the picture is described as

BOX WAS I.AJIELKD WITH
"BLEVD MARKINGS."
On April 9 the picture was left at the of
fice of tho American Express Company,
No. 11 Rue Scribe. ParK That night it lay
with other parrels, carefully guarded by
a night watchman, who Is confident that
no person could have entered the room
containing the picture. It was boxed In
a liar J woo J case, with the following mark
ings upon the lid:

TABLEAUX.
No address was upon the case and noth
ing to Indicate the name of the buyer to
whom It was consigned. It was labeled
with what the express company officials
call blind markings, and It was thought
Us appearance was sufficiently Innocent
to conceal the character of the contents.
rAIXTIXG LOCKED AND SEALED
IX OXE OF STEAMER'S HATCHES.
The next morning the case was placed In
an express car, which was locked, but not
sealed, and sent to Ha-re. The car made
the run from Paris to Havre In forty-eight
hours an unusually long time which indi
cates that there must have been many stops
on the road
It was landed at the docks at Havre on
the morning of April II. where it lay until
the last of the cargo had been put aboard
the French liner La Touralne, as Is ru"!
tomary with express, packages. It wax then
E laced In one of the forward freight
atches. The hatch was almost Immediate
ly replaced, locked and sealed.
The seals on the fre'ght hatch were not
broken until La Touralne arrived In New
York, on April 19. The picture case, with
the other exprJss matter, was carted from
the pier to the appraiser's stores, where
it was taken In charge by an Inspector
XAME OF WALL STREET
PURCHASER XOT REVEALED.
tVhen placed on the scales it was found
that there was a material difference be
tween the weight given In the waybill and
that shown on the scais.
The attention of Robert Train, represent
ative of the American Exprere Companv,
was called to the lightness of the pack
age. He figured out that the difference
would represent Just about the weight of
the panel.
"That picture has been ttolen." he said.
There were no marks upon the case to
indicate that it had been tampered with.
When opened, however, the case was
found to contain only the frame, the panel
having been abstracted somewhere be
tween Paris and New York.
The authorities of the express company
refused to disclose the name of the man
to whom the picture was consigned. It
was learned, however, that he is a man
of great wealth, social prominence and
reputation In 'Wall street, who Is at pres
ent absent from the city.

Former City Register Henry Besch,
against whom the April Grand Jury has re
turned an Indictment, as exclusively an
nounced In Tho Republic, charging him with
official misconduct, has not returned to St.
Louis. His family and friends declare that
he Is on a business trip, and that he will
return when he has completed his business,
but they profess to be unuble to say Just
where he can be located. The Deputy Sher
iffs who have been searching for him, the
Circuit Attorney and other Four Courts of
ficials who are Interested In learning his
whereabouts believe that he Is in Mexico.
A call at his home. No. SS32 California
avenue, brought to the door a girl, who said
she was the only member of the household
at home. She said Mr. Besch was out of
the city, where, she did not know, and she
did not know when he would return.
Circuit Attorney Eofa, discussing former
Mayor Zlegenheln's threat to Institute suit
for libel against the members of the Grand
Jury which accused him In Its report of
having misappropriated public funds, said
that he was not worried by the threat, and
he did not believe the Grand Jurors would
lose much sleep over It. Mr. Zlegenheln, In
his labored explanation, he said, had mere
ly confirmed what the Grand Jury had
charged m Its report that he had used pub
lic moneys for a purpose not intended by the
law. Be said:
"I do not wish to discuss the legal phase
of this matter at present. Generally Break
ing, however, a presentment by a Grand
Jury, within the sphere of Its duties, not
prompted by malice, is privileged.
"The Constitution of Missouri authorizes
and directs Grand Juries to investigate the
official acts of all officers handling public
moneys and report the result of their In
quiries to the court.
"Furthermore, the truth In cases of this
kind cannot be libelous. Teh report as to
Mr. Zlegenheln was not made by the Jury
hastily or Inadvisedly, but with full knowl
edge of all the facts.
"If he deslrts to test the truth of the
statements, I am sure he would gratify each
member of the Jury.
"In the action brought by the State to
recover the money, he will be given unre
stricted opportunity to be heard In court
as to the charges."
The prosecution of the men already in
dicted by the three Grand Juries will be
resumed this week. To-day the case of
John H. Becker. Deputy Factory, charged
with attempted bribery, will be called In
the Court of Criminal Correction. Becker
was a former member of the House of Del
egates. It Is charged that when Charles
Krats. the ex-Councilman, was about to be
tried for bribery, Becker, at the solicitation
of Kratz's friends, attempted to bribe the
Jury Commissioner to "fix" the special
Jury which had been asked for by the Cir

PRESIDENT YOAKUM
AND FRISCO PLANS
Ilis Denial of Pale Reports Wel
come News to His South
western Friends.
President Yoakum of the Frisco has par
tially put to flight tho fears of his friends
that his road Is to be absorbed by some
other system. In his New York interview
Saturday he stated that, so far as he knew,
no negotiations were under way for the
purchase of the Frisco.
President Yoakum said "so far as I
know," which is almost enough assurance
for most of his friends in- the Southwest,
but not quite enough Not one of them In
St. Louis after reading his interview In
The Republic yesterday but that wished he
had said. "I want to say that there is ab
solutely nothing in these reports of offers
for FriFco stocks; that !s, tho holders of
Frisco stock could not consider an offer.
They have too uood a thing for that."
As Mr. Yoakum states, he is very likely
to be aware of negotiations for the sale of
the road. He Is the road that Is. President
Yoakum is tho Frisco. President Yoakum
is ambitions to make It one of tho biggest
and greatest systems in the country- He
wants to spike the continent from the At
lantic to tne Pacific and to build an arm
to the Gulf. He has traveled over tho line
of his plans to the Pacific, and he knows
the lay of the Southeast. He has Intimated
so strongly that he might as well have said:
"The Frisco will build from ocean to ocean.
Ours will be the first complete transconti
nental system In the United States." The
Frisco la now building to Memphis, and It
will also build to the Gulf, following the
Mlssippi to Mobile or New Orleans.
President Yoakum has also sold that he
Is not building a road to sell. He has

Louis Houck is building railroads to
Southeast Missouri. He has announced
thnt he will connect the St- Louis and GulC
with the Choctaw and the Wiggins Ferry.
The former Is a Rock Island road, and tho
Wiggins Ferry property is In dispute. Who

Frisco. But many always believed that the
fhoctaw was built to sell, and very few
believe President Yoakum Is building up
that kind of a system.
