CLARK COLLECTION

Corcoran Trustees Sole Ar
biters of Expected Proffer
of $3,0OO,OO0 Gift.

Outright statements and even hints
that the Corcoran Gallery OF Art, al

collection of the late ex-senator Will

are entirely unauthorized, according
to officials OF the local art institution.
Under the terms Of Senator Clrk' e

jects Of art was left to the Metropoli-
tan Museum with the proviso that 1t
be exhibited intact as unit and in
perpetuity. That museum yesterday,
after due consideration, announced it.
self as unable to accept the bequest.
1t will now be offered to the Corcoran
Gallery here under the same terms.
Rests I'm Trustees Hands.
There is no doubt that the consensus
of local opinion Is hopeful that the
Corcoran Gallery may see fit to accept.
Naturally the matter is under con-
sideration by the heads of the local
art institution, who are entirely ap'
preciative of the earnest hope that
the collection may come to the Ma
tional Capital and swell its prestige
as national art center. But the de-
cision, pending the tender of the gift
by the executors of the estate, which
has not even happened yet, rests en-.
tirely with the board Of trustees of
the gallery, and not with any one
member or with the director.
A special meeting of the board of
trustees will be called in the near fu-
ture to consider with utmost care this
important question.
Have Four Months to Decide.
Statements have appeared in the
press, both here and in New York, TO
the effect that 1T is indicated the
Corcoran Gallery will accept, Cor
coran director hints a way will be
found to house collection" and even
Announcement was made recently in
Washington that the Corcoran Gal
lery would accept" 1t is entirely i'm
possible that any of these could, in
view OF the circumstances. be correct,
gallery officials declare.
The Metropolitan Museum had four
months after Senator Clark's death
to make up it's mind, or until June.
The Corcoran Gallery has until four
months after the declination by the
first-named institution, or until Au-
gust 20 next.

to discontinue through service for a
time from Macomb street and Massa

The President inquired as to the

Concerned Over Split.
1t was emphasized that Mr.. Coolidge
was concerned not so much with the
actual ship sale, but mainly with the
administration of the boards affairs
and the split which resulted in the
minority members going into court
while suit was pending against the
Government.
Commissioners Thompson, Plummer
and Benson dissented from the sale

Coolidge Intent Secret.
Meanwhile, whether President
Coolidge contemplates taking any
action is a question which continues
to be enveloped in complete silence
both at the White House and the
Shipping Board. Reports that the

of 4 to 3, might result in a request

Informs Diplomatic Corps q. S.
Against Recognition.

Because of the renewed discussion
of Russian recognition which marked
the appointment of Frank B. Kellogg
as Secretary of State, a communica-
ton has been sent to members of the
American diplomatic corps advising
them that there would be no change
in the attitude of the Washington
Government on the Russian question.
The letter was sent out by Mr.. Kel-
logg when he first assumed office in
March. 1t was regarded by him as
matter of departmental detail and rou-
tine and had been kept confidential
until the contents were revealed to-
day at the White House.

VIEWED WITH ALARM.
Britain Sees Sinister Influence Be-
hind Uprising.

By Gable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News
LONDON. April 21-Reports Of
serious rioting of South African ma
tives. melted by Communists, is
viewed with grave anxiety by observe
ers in England.
Any act of violence which threatens
to disturb the peaceful tour of the
Prince of Wales through South Africa
naturally causes uneaSiness, but in
the case of reports from Bloemfontein
today there appears TO be something
more sinister than mere outbreak of
native passion.
There is a fairly strong current OF
opinion in official circles here that
Communist organizations in remote re-
gions plan to make the Princes s tour
the signal for a native uprising. This
view is strengthened by reports that
thousands of handbills urging natives
in the cape district to boycott the
prince, have been distributed recently.
Women Are Aroused.
According to latest information
agitators are spreading propaganda
by telling native women that their
men shortly will be forced to abandon
towns and work for long hours on
farms in a state of penal servitude for
a miserable wage. BY playing on
their childlike credulity Communist
agents have aroused the women TO a
state of frenzy in which they urge
the men to fight the authorities.
In many ways the state of unrest
throughout South African native vii.
lagos is due to labor law proposals Of
the new Socialist government. While
this legislative program is wholly
humanitarian, 1t has been distorted
in the native view by agitators and
might easily lead to widespread dis
turbance. In order to combat SUBJ
versive elements in Cape Town.

committee to aid the police.

when he will attend the cornerstone
laying Of the Jewish Community Cen

ton at the southeast corner of Six

The Presidents address on this oc-

Minneapolis, June 8, when he will par
ticipate in the Morse centennial cele-
bration.
Simple Ceremonies in View.
The ceremonies which will mark the
corner stone laying Of the Jewish Com

simple and short in duration. In the
absence from the city of Harry King
president of the Jewish Community
Center, Rudolph Behrends will pre-
side. Rev. James Z. Freeman, Epis-
copal Bishop of Washington, will offer
prayer, and Rabbi Abram Simon of the
Eighth Street Temple will consecrate
the stone. There will be singing and
orchestral music. The ceremonies will
commence at o'clock in the after.

NO SECRET TREATY,
MATSUDA|RA SAYS
Open Door in Russia Not vio-
lated by Pact, Japanese
Envoy Declares.
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. April 21.-Tsuneo
Matsudaira, the Japanese Ambassador
speaking at dinner given in his
honor at the Harvard Club by the
Federal Council of Churches, denied
last night that the recent Russo-Japa-
nese treaty violated the principle of
the open door in Russia and that a
secret militaristic agreement has been
made by the two countries.
The Ambassador also said that
Japan has fully lived up to the letter
and spirit of the armament limitations
agreement and that there is no foun-
dation for predictions of war between
Japan and the United States
1T has been charged recently that
certain clauses in the new Russo
Japanese treaty transgressed the prin-
ciple of the open door in Russia" Am
bassador Matsudaira said. This is
certainly a far-fetched Interpretation
and I was very glad TO observe, during
the last week, that a fair interpreta-
ton has been made by Americans
themselves.
Denies Secret Treaty.
There is another point in connec-
ton with this treaty about which ap-
prehensions appear to be entertained.
The report is circulated from time to
time that Russia and Japan have con-
cluded a secret agreement of a more
or less militaristic character. Secret
diplomacy, gentlemen, is a thing of
the past. 1t is an idea repugnant TO
the spirit of the treaties made at the
Washington conference, to which we
are a party. I am happy to be able
to assure you that Japan has no Sc
cret treaty or agreement with Russia
or with any other country"
Japan, he said, has lived up to the
pacts made at the limitation of
armaments conference by completing
the scrapping of Is capital ships. and
this, he said, shows that rumors of
war between Japan and the United
States are without basis.
Touches on Land Laws.
The ambassador also discussed the
passage by Japan of laws allowing
foreigners to own land there. He said
that the japanese government is TAX
ing no retaliatory measures, although
there are some states in this coun-
try which deny the ownership of even
lease of land to Japanese"
