Parker also has magnetism but OF q
different quality, q more quiet, subtle
kind. Mr.. Parker would win through gen.

It Is not improbable, according to inforna-
ton obtained to-day, that the deed OF trust
on the Woodley property given to the
institution may prove less valuable than was
at first excepted. Its known that one Of the
largest financial institutions Of Washing
ton holds first mortgage on the property,
executed some years ago. to the amount OF
5000 In addition there are various
other notes, secured by mortgages on
parts Of the Woodley Park tract.
As the Catholic University since it's in
oeption has not been sufficiently endowed.
there has been considerable speculation
as to whether or not the institution would
be forced temporarily to retrench as q re-
suit OF the Waggaman failure, or whether
Cardinal Gibbons and other dignitaries Of
the Church would pledge their private for
tunes to prevent such a result From
what can be learned, the officials OF the
university had the first inkling of the in
solvenoy Of Mr.. WaggamAn, and, oonse-
quently, no funds have been placed In his
hands for investment for about year,
1t Is also denied that any great amount
OF the parish funds of the various churches
in the Washington jurisdiction are involved
or that the private fortunes Of Church dig
nitaries are threatened
When at the high tide of his prosperity,
more than a decade ago, Mr.. Waggaman
was extremely generous in his gifts to the
Catholic Church, to charitable institutions
controlled by it and to the various religious
and benevolent organizations OF which he
was member or in which he was int crest ed.
He also hired experts to travel with him to
Europe and aid him in the buying OF art
treasures. His collection of paintings,
which was mort gagged to the Catholic Uni
versty some months ago and which is now
being appraised prior to being sold at auc-
ton, Ia estimated to be worth nearly half
million dollars
Mr.. Waggaman married three times,
each union bringing him considerable
wealth. His first wife was Miss Lenthal
Of Washington. On her death her fort uns,

died some time previously, was left to the
