The beginning Of n litigation in which

rogate's court in Batavia the other
day when objections were filed to the
probate over the will OF VIM. Lampson,
late of Leroy Genesee county, who left
the bulk of his estate to Yale. The
chief contestant is Mrs. Laura Brooke,
of st. Paul, the wife OF n retired Metho-
dist minister, and an aunt of Mr..
Lampson. 1t is claimed that the be-
quests to Yale are null and void "for
the reason that the said alleged cor
poration Is a literary or scientific insti-
tuition, and the said bequest is con-
tanned In an alleged will executed less
than two months prior to decease OF
the said William Lampson, contrary to
the statute governing such bequests."
1t Is also asserted that the Yale be-
quests are of no effect because they
exceed the amount which such cor
porations are authorized to take and
receive by last will and testament of
the laws OF the state from any one in
diyidual,"
