QUESTION RIGHT l ID ACCEPT ART
.Clark'S Request to Metropolitan
 Museum Discussed

New York, April s.--The question whether the s3,o0o,oo0 art collec- ton, conditionally bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum Of Fine Arts in New York city by William A. Clark of Montana, should be accept ed, continued under discussion among art critics and officials of the institution today with consider able doubt expressed as to what &C., ton the trustees of the museum would take.
 The conditions imposed by the will require that the entire collection be housed in one gallery for the ex- elusive exhibition of the objects in the Clark collection. This it was pointed out would place a hardship upon the museum since the collec- ton has not been catalogued, is not Homogeneous and comprises objects of all kinds and Of various styles and periods. The museum also is loath to setting aside in perpetuity the large space necessary.
 President Robert w. De Forest, Of the museum, while declining to com init himself. as to the probable out come. said that Senator Clark had not consulted museum officials be- fore bequeathing the collection con- ditionally. Such informal consulta- tions. he added, frequently had re- suited in testators removing pro- posed restrictions.

 Publication of this fact created consternation among the hat manu- ,facturers, while the cleaners were elated. .-.
 Whether the hat manufacturers made formal protest to the White House cannot be learned, but the hot tip in official quarters yesterday was that two brand-new hats were recently delivered at the White House. Thoy were mems hats, the boxes addressed to tho president and were sent from a well known Washington hatter's shop. Only the president and the natter know whether the delivery resulted from executive backsliding in the econ omy program or from the benefcent generosity Of some thoughtful friend.

SHIPSTEAD CLAIMS
 WHEAT GAMBLING
Asserts Department of Asricul-
 lure Aided Bull Movement

Washington, April S.--A charge hat the recent skyrocking of wheat prices on the Chicago board Of trade was due to the activities of price specuators Is made by Senator Shipstead, farmer-labor. Minnesota, in letter to Julius Barnes, former president of the Chamber of Com nicrce oI the United States.
 The senator also asserts that the drpartment Of agriculture, whether by good intention or otherwise" as- sisted in the "bull' movement by cooperating with the issue of false propaganda" regarding a threatened shortage of world wheat supplies.
 The communication made public by the senator today, was In reply 10 aA article published recently by Mir. Barnes in which he asserted that Senator Shlpstead. in advising tho farmers last fall 10 market their wheat crop then made 1t impossible for the farmers 10 take advantage Of fthe higher prices of wheat prevailing this year until the recent break in Ing market.
 Denying that he so advised the 'armers, Senator Shipstead said he did warn producers not 10 be fooled by the money powers pushing up quotations for political and financial purposes" By following this warn Ing, Senator Shipstead said the pro- 'lucers had escaped being caught in tho awful crash" in the market.
 To support his contention that the s2 wheat price was the work of spec uiators, the Minnesota senator said the secretary Of agriculture had att tested that during February alone the Chicago board of trade sold wheat Features" amounting to 1.- 5Sl,594,000 bushels, or more than dre times the official worlds visible supply.
 The senator then proceeded to ask Nr. Barnes a series of questions, one i| which is whether tt is not now ap- aren't 10 him that wheat never was yorth F and more in January and February and that such a price was artificial, unwarranted by world coalitions, balooniDg gamble cre- a'ed by price-fXing spectators for heir own enrichment. after the bulk ot the crop was out of the farmers N7nds."
 Referring 10 the Chamber of Com
 arce recommendation to President nolidge that future trading eX- ,dnges be encouraged as a step to- ard aiding the farmer. Senator lipstead asked Mr. Barnes if he w thought this was necessary and hether he could guarantee that le national administra ton still has 1a: panacea in stock as an aid to ne American farmer"
