ROOSEVELT REFUSES URN
CONTAINING CATS ASHES

ID UBLIC Administratcr William M
/ Hoes has disposed OF the entire
legacy left by the late Mrs. Lulu B.
Glover excepting the ashes Of ere
mated kitten. He has failed to get
rid Of this interesting relic. President
Roosevelt. to whom Mrs Glover, who
committed suicide in her apartments
on Lexington avenue last December.
left her estate, has firmly refused to
add the funeral urn which contains the
ashes to the feline pet to his stock Of
curiosities.
Although 1t is not within the prov
ince OF the public administrator to
deal with the estates of those who
have made Wills, Mr.. Hoes, at the re-
quest of the president, took charge Of
the property left by Mrs. Glover. He
said that he had found the estate
was valued at more than $4,000, and
that President Roosevelt had notified
him that he would give the money to
a charitable institution
But the urn which contains the
ashes of one of the many cats Of which
Mrs. Glover was fond is too much like
a white elephant to appeal to the presi-
dent. He notified Mr. Hoes that he
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1907-11-30

expected him as executor of the estate
OF Mrs. Glover to find resting place
for the ashes Of the kitten. Mr.. Hoes
has offered the relic to several ply
sicians He has found that there is no
general demand for the ashes OF kit
tens. SO he has taken charge OF the
urn himself and is using it as paper
weight.
According to law the cremated kit
ten is the property Of President Roose-
welt and he may at any time he
chooses claim the residuary ashes.
This, Mr. Hoes is sure, the president
has no intention Of doing. Mr.. Hoes
says he will keep the ashes If he is un-
able to persuade anybody to accept
them.
Mr.. Hoes efforts to discover rela-
tiyes of Mrs. Glover have extended
over a period Of several months, but
have been fruitless. AT this time there
is little more known about the woman
than was known when she was found
In her apartment after she had tried
to kill herself. She died in the Har-
lem hospital leaving will which gave
her estate to President Roosevelt,
many photographs of whom were
among her belongings.
