LATZ-OWNERSHIP MANAGEMENT (Che Hlamac But Denies Money He Cave Deeters Was for Information About Dye Patents. Wilmington, June 26 Herman A. Metz, former New York City Controller, admitted on the stand yesterday in the Government's suit to recover German dye patents sold to the Chemical Foundation by the previous administration, that he had paid money to E. W.

Deeters, former employee of the Chemical War Service, who was indicted as a German spy, after Deeters had obtained Information which later formed the basis of Senator Mases' attack on the Foundation In the United States Senate. Counsel for the Foundation maintains that Mr. Metz is "the Invisible plaintiff" behind the suit, charging that he Instigated it in behalf of the German dye manufacturers from whom the patents were seized by the Alien Property Custodian. Mr. Metz, himself a dye manufacturer, the American agent for one of the largest of the German pharmaceutical firms.

the Farbwerke- Hoechst Company. Mr. Metz also admitted that in 920 and 1921 he discussed with erman Interests in Germany the possibility of recovering their dye nd chemical patents, me nerenso the suit alleges that ne promisea hat the return could be effected. The witness declared at first that he had no recollection of a bill for 14.765 rendered by Deeters for get ting affidavits for the dye investigation, but said he sent back to Deeters "a bill for something." Isador Kresel, attorney for the Foundation, produced the following bill: '1. Krlwarri w.

Metz denied that there was ajiv basis for the declaration of tne bill. He said that he paid $1,000 to Deeters and several other small sums, some of them only $10, but that hese payments 'had no connection with the obtaining of Information and affidavits.

Metz replied, "but not for affidavits." He could not recall whether the payments were in cash or by check. It was only after much questioning that Mr. Metz acknowledged having discussed the possible return of the German dye patents with the orig inal German owners. He continued what Judge Morris regarded as evasions, and finally the Court addressed him: "The time has come when this witness must answer these questions or abide by the consequences. I have observed him throughout.

From now on evasion will not be tolerated. Mr. Metz said that he did not re member "specifically" discussing the question with the German owners, but said that he may have. In gen eral. He also disavowed knowing the purpose of the visit of a delegation of three German chemists here In 1922.

Mr. Kresel said that they were here In connection with the Impend ing Government suit to set aside the sale of the patents.

Broadway learned today that Ethel Barrymore, for more than a quartor of a century a ranking celebrity of the American stage, filed suit In Providence yesterday for absolute divorce from her husband, Russell Grlswold Colt, son of Col. Samuel P. Colt, millionaire rubber manufacturer, whom she married In 1909 and from whom she has been estranged and separated since 1921, Rumors of domestic difficulties be tween Miss Barrymore and her husband had been recurrent since 1911, and when Jter attorneys announced a separation two years ago under the provisions of which she was to keep the three children, lt occasioned little surprise. At that time lt was stated that the matter was closed and there would be no divorce. Colncldentally It was learned that the Countess Eleanor Gurran Moroni, who, with Miss Barrymore and Mr.

Colt was a beneficiary under the will of Colonel Colt, had filed suit for divorce from Count Glrolamo Moroni of Milan, Italy, on the ground of desertion and non-support. Miss Barrymore met Mr. Colt through her brother, John Barrymore, who knew him at Yale. At that time tho actess was variously reported as engaged to Laurence Irving and Capt. Henry Graham, and her marriage to Colt came as a distinct surprise to the friends of hcth.

For a short time she retired from the stage, but emerged from retirement several years ago, since which time she has taken leading roles in several of New York's most pronounced successes. Miss Barrymore is the daughter of the late Maurice O. and Georgie Barrymore, stage celebrities of their day. She was born In 1878 and made her stage debut In 1895. The three children of the Colts are Samuel Pomeroy, named after his paternal grandfather; John Drew, named after the actor, who Is Miss Barry.

Ry GVY HICKOK, Staff Correspondent of.

The Eagle.) Paris, June 26 The owners of the painting attributed to Leonardo Da Vinci, now the subject of a half-mil-lion-dollar suit against Sir Joseph Duveen, the British art dealer, have reversed their decision not to permit the painting to leave the United States. Conrad Hug, the Kansas City dealer, who now has tho painting, has been instructed to bring it to Paris by the French steamer Rochambeau in August. And on a day to be fixed later, probably In September, the painting Is to be hung In the Louvre beside No. 1600. which Str Joseph Duveen contends is the original.

The confrontation of the two paintings will be dramatically staged. Sir Joseph Duveen plans to gather together experts from Rome, Ber lin, Paris, Amsterdam and London, to decide; which, if either, is the true Leonardo Da Vinci. The experts will pronounce Judgment and their testimony will he taken atenographlcally and certified by a consular or other official. Madame Andree Hahn, the owner of the disputed La Bello Ferronlero, and her counsel, Hyacinthe Ring-rose, the Brooklyn lawyer, declare that they await the trying scrutiny with confidence. Rlnsrose expects to have present representative of the Kansas City Art Institute.

This museum, it may be remembered was considering the purchase of the picture, when Sir Joseph Duveen de 1 clared that It was not a Da Vlncl. Case Becoming Costly. The case is rapidly developing Into one of the most expensive of Us kind. Owing to the impossibility of getting his experts, directors of European art museums lor the most part, to come to New lork, Sir Jo seph Duveen is paying all the ex penses of taking expert testimony in Europe, Including the traveling ex penses of both his own and the plaintiff's attorneys, and those of the experts who have come to Paris for the comparison of the two palntlnsrs. Last year Ringrose, for the Hahns.

and Henry G. Sherman for Sir Joseph Duveen. took testimony in Lon- on. with the aid of magnified pho- osraphs of the painting, but the re sults were satisfactory to neither party. It was later decided that the only absolutely satisfactory plan would be to have the two paintings the same room with the exnerts.

The plaintiffs plan to have other xperts testify in the New York Su preme Court next February before Jury. The question has arisen, however, as to the possibility of any ury reaching a unanimous verdict in such a case, and tho whole affair may later be confided to a referee or a commission. Interest In La Belle FerronW at the Louvre has been greatly s'irmi lated ay the discussion, more than twice as many photographs of that painting having been sold in the last year as of Mona Lisa, which has always heretofore reigned supreme, Finger-print testimony will be in troduced into the trial in New York Sir Charles Holmes, director of the National Gennery in London, testified last year that any Da Vinci could be identified by the finger. prints, not in the varnish, but in tho paint itself.

Brooklyn YEARS WARNER SEES MORE RESIGNATIONS FROM AMHERST FACULTY The action of the growing list of faculty men who are sending In their resignations to the trustees of Amherst College was expected by the great mass of students, according to Albert L. Warner, 56 Montgomery one of the active undergraduates and editor of the Student, the college publication.

Warner is emphatic, both for himself and for the vast majority of his college mates, in regretting -the forced resignation of Dr. Alexander Melklejonn as pres ident. There will be still more resig nations," said Mr. Warner, with conviction, "In addition to those of Dr. John M.

Hln ners, organist and instructor In music, and Walton Hale Hamilton, professor of economics and Dr. Melklejohn's most stanch supporter.

The resignation of Dr. Fitch is particularly significant, as he is the professor of religious subjects," continued Mr. Warner. "Although Clar ence Ayres, associate professor of philosophy, has not yet sent In his withdrawal, I believe he will do so. Ho has been in sympathy with Dr.

Warner has Just completed his Junior year and will tinisn at tne college, although he feels very strongly on the treatment accorded the retiring president. Sentimental nlumnl, fearful for the traditions of Amherst and not conversant with present-day affairs at the college, are largely responsible for the practical dismissal of Dr. Melklejohn, the editor of the Student believes.

The very trustees who have dismissed him were the men who brought the president from Brown University to Amherst to "put the college on the man. The student body have hacked Dr. MelkoHo'-n because they know what he was doing for Amherst while the alumni did not." continued Mr. Warner. "The president was getting the students to think.

With mighty few exceptions the 620 undergraduates are with Melklejohn.
