| different claimants and TO present the
| claims to the bank of Holland, and take
preliminary steps toward enforcing the
! rights Of the heirs both TO the Harlem
and Trinity Church properties Every
| thing seems favorable, and the present
outlook is, that sooner or later the heirs
many of whom have their direct line
age complete, will be in possession of a
part at least, of the enormous fortune
which taken altogether is valued at
One Billion and a Half Dollars.
During the past few years numerous
demands have been made by the work
ing committee of the Anneke Jams In
ternational union TO affect a settlement
with the Trinity church corporation. S.
V. r. Kruger, manager OF the corpora
ton in New York, has, in the presence
of this committee, acknowledged that
the corporation has no title to the prop
erty. The Trinity church people have
used every effort, foul or fair, to retain
possession of the property, even going
TO the extent of attempting TO over
come persons who were investigating
the records of the church.
II has also been ascertained that
there are seven other heirs of the es-
tate in Wichita, but only one Of them
is directly connected with Mr.. Burt's
great grandmother Through whom he
becomes an heir.
He also received information from
Cleveland that E B. Humphrey would
arrive in this country with a number
Of Dutch authorities about May 1, and
the money would be distributed TO all
the heirs who were able to prove their
claims.
There is no doubt in Mr.. Burt's case.
The heirs had a meeting at Cleveland,
Ohio, this month and have made ar
rangements to assist the younger heirs
to prove up their claims. But few men
in Wichita were happier than Mr.. Burt
yesterday when he gave the above let
ter TO reporter for the Eagle and ask
