URGE GALLERY

GLOVER BACKS PROJECT
District Commissioners Ready to Use
Efforts to Bring Pictures to
Capital.
GLOVER BACKS PROJECT

The way to get the widener art col
lection here is to Guild an art gallery
in Washington to receive it," said
Charles c. Clever. president of the
Riggs National Bank, and well known
rs lover of art in Washington. when
asked yesterday for his opinion on the
proposal to build an art gallery here.
I think if an act to establish such
an art gallery were passed by Con-
gress. and the National government and
the District each did their share. it
would result in bringing that magnifi-
cent collection of paintings to Wash
ington. 1t was with the idea of fur
nishing site for great government
art gallery that a bill was introduced
in Congress in 1906 to buy 100 acres
of land in the Rock Creek Park extern
sion"
Mr.. Glover said this would have pro-
vided a frontage of 1000 feet for such
a building on Massachusetts avenue
and site in one of the most beautiful
settings of natural forests to be seen
anywhere in the District
No Limit Is Set.
The Commissioners OF the District
have become much interested in the
contest between the three cities, Wash
ington. Philadelphia. and New York. for
the assortment of beautiful paintings
representing a fortune of millions of
dollars. Yesterday the commission
conveyed the informal information to
Charles ID. Walcott, director of the
Smithsonian Institution, who is at the
head of the movement to have the
paintings given to Washington. that he
could count on any measure of CO.
operation from them TO insure a vic
tory for this city.
The governing heads OF the District
have set no limit 10 which they would
not go TO have the Widener collection
presented to the city. Even should it be
necessary TO construct a building espe-
cially for the reception of the famous
works of art. il is believed the Commits
sioners would have no hesitancy in in
GLIDING such a building in their estimates
to Congress.
II is known that should the commits
sion be called upon TO do so it is ready
and willing to present a formal COM
munication 10 Mr.. Widener requesting
the art treasurers in behalf of the peo-
pie of Washington.

LANE WANTS RED BRICKS.
Secretary Objects to Gray Ones for
Interior Building.

Although the supervising architects
Office of the Treasury Department and
the fine arts commission have recon-
mended a gray-tinted brick for the facing
of the new Interior Department Building.
Secretary OF the Interior Franklin X.
Lane is opposed to this color and wants
red brick instead.
Yesterday morning he conferred with
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo re-
SardinS the matter. and IL was decided
to look over other samples of brick be-
fore a decision is reached. If Secretary
Lane persists in his desire to have the
building constructed OF red brick he
probably will have his way.
If red brick is used the cost of con-
struction work will be increased $4,000
and it is estimated it will take about
four months longer to construct the
building.
