American University, occupying .
campus site across from the bankers

braska avenue, was aided substantially
for many years by Mr.. Glover. He was
q member OF The Board Of Trustees OF
the university and treasurer Of its
funds. He was the first contributor to
the first Of the white marble buildings
erected on the campus. During the
most trying years of the university his
interest helped keep the institute alive.
He loaned to the university the money
with which its first building was
constructed. "-.-
Washington Cathedral, the great
shrine Of the Episcopal Church, had
its conception in suggestion made
by MIR. Glover years ago. The pro.

chosen chairman Of the committee
designated to select the site and raise
the initial funds. For years he worked
with the late Bishop Satterlee In
arousing Nationwide interest in the
proposed cathedral.
Aside from his banking and finan-
cial training, Mr.. Glover played q
leading part in the early years Of

in Congress he finally prevailed upon
them to overcome the opposition which
met these efforts to secure the neces-
sary legislation, with result that the
reclaimed fats south of the Monu-
ment have been extended into one Of
the finest river parks in the world.
The Board of Trade in October, 1895.
gave Mr.. Glover its unanimous vote Of
thanks for the efficient and valuable
service rendered to the community in
acquiring the title to the Potomac

While engaged in carrying through
this scheme Mr.. Glover's visions led
him to acquire title to Rock Greek

over ground northwest of the city
limits as they existed then that it
occurred to Mr.. Glover that the nat
ural roughness of the Rock Creek
Valley would make an ideal park.
On Thanksgiving day, 1888, riding
over the same ground in company
with Col. Thomas w. Symonds, Engi-
neer Commissioner for the District,
with two Of Glover's partners in the
bank. Thomas Hyde and James M.
johnson. and Calderon Carlisle. Mr..
Glover explained to them his idea Of
procuring this large tract. At his
urgent request, these four gentlemen
pledged themselves to work for a ma.
tional park in that area and never
to cease their efforts until they were
successful.
Purpose Partly Realized.
A meeting was called at MIR. Glover's
home and a bill was framed asking
Congress to make an appropriation.
Representative John J. Hemphill,
chairman of the District Committee,
introduced it January IA. 1889. It met
with strenuous opposition. There was
also before the Senate a bill providing
100000 for the acquisition of land for
geological park. Representative
David B. Henderson of Iowa told Mr..
Glover that he thought if Glover could
get this bill through the Senate he
(Henderson) would have the Rock
Greek Park bill added to it as an
amendment. In the parliamentary
jockeying that followed. to save the
Zoo bill it was necessary to sacrifice
the Rock Greek Park bill. but in this
way Washington obtained its Zoolog-
ical Park.
Undismayed, Mr.. Glover started all
over again on behalf of the Rock Creek
Park legislation the following year.
Since the area chosen for the Zoo BIZ
sected the tract, Mr.. Glover was obliged
to confine his efforts to acquiring land
directly north Of the Zoo. AS result
of his tireless efforts, Congress even-
tually passed new bill, providing for
the purchase Of approximately 1900
acres extending from the Geological
Park to the northern boundary of the
District and taking in Rock Greek and

FIGHT RESTRICTION
Six Protest Plan to Merge
Representation of Sepa-
rate Units.

Contending that dangerous
precedent" is being set, members of
six lodges of the American Federation
Of Government Employees have banded
together to combat a movement in
Central Labor Union which would
deny direct representation to the indi-
vidual units. confining the right to
elect delegates to C. L. U. to the
District department of the federation
as a whole
The restriction was proposed by
the executive council Of Central Labor
Union early this week, and the forma-
tion of the committee yesterday fol-
lowed.
Differences Pointed Out.
Pointing out the activities of the
several locals in the central body, the
protestants say:
The committee feels that the
various A. F. G. E. lodges clearly con-
stitute local unions as this term is
used throughout the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, and further that the
District department of the A. F. G. E.
cannot in any sense be considered as
a local union of the A. F. G. E. but is
itself a delegate body maintaining the
structure and carrying on the func-
tions of such a body. and as such has
no right to represent local A. F. G. E.
lodges in the c. L. U"
Fear Spread Of Plan.
To deny such individual representa-
tion, it Is amplified, would pave the
way to take such action in regard to
carpenters, painters and other build
ing trades affiliates.
New Deal lodges are behind the
protest.
Meanwhile members Of the fedora
ton we're looking forward to action on
another issue-that raised by the
attack by the national president E.
Claude Babcock, on the "spoils" prac-
tices of the Roosevelt administration.
With leaders calling for Babcock to
be disciplined because his attack was
circulated by the Republican National
Committee. the executive council is
assembling here Saturday to map their
course.

A recently-installed pumping sys-

lakes will enable the City Of Water
bury to supply water to the Chase
Brass & Copper Co. for use in Its
local plants II the company's reser-
voir supplies continue TO diminish
Frank CassiI1, assistant Superintend-
ent, bureau Of water, said today
The Chase Company has made ar
rangements with the city to pur-
chase water from the municipal
reservoirs should the water levels
at Bellevue and Lakewood, now al
the lowest point In history, continue
to 60 down
The city has not yet started to
supply water to the company, but II
Is estimated that the supply al
Lakewood and BELLEVUE will last fol-
only about two more weeks, and
unless there is considerable rainfall
during that time, the city water
supply will be called on.
The Chase Co. purchases water
from the city for drinking and
Wishing, but uses water from its own
reservoirs for industrial purposes
water being needed in many opera
tons at the various plants OF the
company.
The city water supply at present
is more than ample, Mr.. Cassin said
and there Is enough water available
for an almost unlimited time.

Husbands Winners In

Both Cases Heard By State Referees

Cass against Esther Treat Cass rec
ommends that the divorce be grant,
ed and also thai he be given Gus
tody Of two minor children, aged 8
and IL. The couple was married
November 20, 1923.
Three days after the celebration
Of their 18th wedding anniversary,
Referee Wolfe conducted the hear
ing on the action. He found that
for ten years after the marriage the
couple was happy and contented.
Economic Cause
A reduction In wages for the
husband started the trouble, for the
defendant refused to.reconcile her
self to the more limited circum-
stances.
The divorce Is sought on the
grounds Of iptolerable cruelty. Cass
claimed he became very nervous as
result Of his wife's conduct and
at the time lost 80 pounds. Since
the separation he has gained 20
pounds and is In improved health.
In regard to the custody Of the
children, as recommended by Ref
cree Wolfe, the two will be under
the charge Of their father until
the time they are IA years old. II
at that time their paternal grand
mother, Emily r. Cass Is alive, they

ar session. Upon the approval Of
the court, Referee Isaac Wolfe con-
Quoted hearing on the plea Of
Raymond M. Cass for divorce from
Esther Treat Cass; the plea Of
Emily Spierito Garcia for divorce
from Raymond Garcia was heard by
Referee Frederick M. Peasley.
Emily Spierito Garcia entered
proceedings for divorce from Ray
mond Garcia in which she charged
desertion January /, 1888. She also
sought custody Of their 9-year-old
child. The defendant entered a
complaint of desertion in
which he named the same date and
also sought custody of the child.
Decree Granted
Referee Peasley conducted a
hearing at his home November 81,
which was attended only by the de-
PENDANT, Raymond Garcia and his
witnesses. Emily Garcia failed to
appear. The referee recognizes the
cross complaint of the husband and
in his report recommends that he
be granted the divorce and custody
of the child. He finds that 1t was
the wife who was guilty Of deser-
ton.
An agreement between the cou-
pie has been drawn up in regard to
the custody Of the child. The faith
