VALUE IS UNDIsPUTED.
Would Be Asset to Capital, Cor.
coran Director Says.

Acceptance of the art collection OF
the late william A. Clark by the Cor :
coran Gallery of Art would be en-
tirely dependent on the action of the
board of trustees of the Metropolitan
Museum. New York, according TO c.
Powell Minnigerode, director of the
Corcoran Gallery.
The will of the late former Senator,
which was admitted to probate at
Butte, Mont. yesterday, conditionally
bequeathed his 100000 art collec-
tion to the Metropolitan Museum; and
the trustees thereof have until July
? to decide whether or not they will
accept. II they fail to accept the gift
under these conditions. the will pro-
vides that the collection shall go to
the Corcoran Gallery under the same
conditions.
Collection Is Valuable
Prior to action by the Metropolitan
trustees it would be impossible even
to forecast the action of the Corcoran n
trustees" said Mr.. Minnigerode to-
day. The Clark collection is unde-
niably one of great value. For many
years Senator Clark was an ardent
art lover and an enthusiastic col
lector. If this collection should ulti-
mately come to the Corcoran Gallery.
II would prove great asset to the
National Capital. Charles c. GLOVER
president of the Corcoran board. left
Washington yesterday for a trip to
Europe. But there will be nothing for
the trustees to act upon until the be-
quest is either accepted or declined in
New York
Senator Clark had for years been
closely associated with the Corcoran
Gallery. He was a trustee from 1914
until his death. For years he made
biennial gift of $4,000 to provide
for the William A. Clark awards in
the Corcorans widely known biennial
exhibitions. Several years ago he
gave the gallery outright an endow-
ment fund of 100000. to provide not
only for these prizes, but also for the
purchase of works by American
artists.
