An important conference of the. Lux

and the trust company wills, was held Ill
the office of Gunnison, Booth & Barnett
yesterday afternoon. =: ~ .
The meeting OF the several persons inter
ested was called for the purpose of: notify
ing them of the provisions of the will OF
which. the California Safe Deposit and
Trust Company and Jesse Sheldon Potter
are named as executors. Several of the
heirs and benefciaries were present III per-
son and others had Representatives. Among
those present in person and by proxy were
Sarah b. Cooper, NJ. NJ. Estee represent
ing several charitable associations, j.. NJ.
Burnett, } oseph aphtaly, Charles +. Han
lon, A. n. Drown and a number of benen-
cary associations by their attorneys 81:
A communication was read from Mr..
Potter in which be wrote that If the bene-
ticiaries under the trust: company will
would not participate in the contest which
he has begun against the Bishop will; So
called, he would pay ell the charitable be-
quests as designated by Mrs. Lux.
Nearly. all the: beneficiaries will realize
as much: under the Bishop will is under
that known and designated as the trust
company's# Will, and the sentiment of
those present was favorable to Jesse Pot
ter's proposition. lir. Potter set forth in
his communication that he would carry
out the Intentions of the testatrix to the
letter, believing that it was her sincere de-
sire that the several individuals and chari-
table associations mentioned in her will
should receive the full benefit of the nu-
merouS beduests Nominated IN her last Will
and testament. AS they are all or nearly
all, similarly provided for in the Bishop
will, they would gain nothing by partici-
pating in the contest Whether the Bishop
VIII is broken or not they will realize on
the legacles Just the same. Even should
the litigation result in the inability of the
executors to probate the trust company S
will, Mr.. Potler's promise has been given
TO pay the legacies, amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars, out of his own
funds.

The difference between the Bishop and
the trust company's will. so called, is very
important TO the heir-at-law, Mr.. Potter
Under the trust company's will he comes
into possession of the property after the
Iegacies are paid. If he is not successful
in breaking the Bishop will he can enjoy
only the income from the estate, the same
being held in trust by Mr.. Bishop If the
will OF the majority of the benefieiaries,
who are sure of several hundred thousand
dollars in either case, prevails, Mr.. Potter
will not be hampered by their joining in
the contest of the Bishop will. He is am
ply able to satisfy ali the beneficiary lega-
cies, say Gunnison, Booth & Bartnett,
and his promise means much to the rela-
tive heirs and others.
