IN THE CORCORAN GALLERY
Watts Love and Life" to Be Hung on Its
Walls.
The President Turns the Work Over
to the Custody of the Gallery
Trustees.

The question Of the disposition of Watts
famous painting, Love and Life" has
been settled. 1t will hang on the walls of
the Corcoran Art Gallery.
The President today issued an order turn
ing the picture over to the trustees of the
Corcoran Gallery. They will be the GUS
todians Of it until such time as the proper
authorities of the government should ask
for its return. The painting will be un-
packed today, and tomorrow 1t will be on
exhibition in the Corcoran Gallery.
1t will be remembered that the. picture.
which is considered one Of Watts master
pieces. was presented to this government
shortly after the close of the Chicago ex-
position, where 1t had been on exhibition,
to be exhibited in the national art gallery
1t was received by the Secretary of State
and by him turned over to the President
for such disposition as he should see fit.
AS there is no national gallery the Presi-
dent was at a loss as to where 1t should
be placed on exhibition. He realized, how
ever, that the object for which the gift was
made could best be attained by making the
Corcoran Gallery its custodian, and as the
well founded apprehension that the picture
was in danger of injury by remaining
packed so long in the basement of the
White House had considerable weight with
him. he Issued the order at once, and as
stated. the picture will be on exhibition to-
morrow.
