The journal says: at will be the sig

will be of startling Importance. the chief
one being the consolidation Of the Nam
haitian Elevated with the Metropolitan

George ]. Gould Anay mot agree with the
verdict of the famflT but he wia have
to act on the ma1oEity of the family.

Frank Jay Gould was a child when his
father died. He is his sister Helen's de-
voted brother She rules him. and in
everything, especially in finance, her
opinion Is good enough for him. Frank

ton-on-the-Hudson.
"By the terms Of Jay Gould's will,
Lyndhurst belongs to Helen Gould until
Franks twenty-first birthday. They live
there together in summer, and in winter
in the Fifth Avenue house. Frank rides

the record for youthful millionaires. Some
of the professionals have done worse.
Another interesting outcome of Frank
Gould's coming Of age will be the effect
IL will have on the prospects OF his Sis
ter Anna the Countess Castellane. She
and Count Boni Castellane were married
in 1895. and went 10 Paris to startle the
French capital by the lavish use OF the
Gould millions. They did 1t. They built
a palace they gave dinners that cost vast
sums OF money and then came stories
that the money was running short. No
more came from America. for the Jay
Gould will protected the stocks and
bonds. and there was nothing to do but
walt for Frank to come of age.
..t was no secret that protest follow
ed protest from George Gould the head
of the American house. George Gould
and his wife went TO Paris this year and
made a very systematically short-stop
with the Castellanes. Then he went to
Switzerland and the Castellanes took
trip through the Continent.
I'm a short time the Countess Castel-
lane will have all the money she wants
when she gets hold of her share of the
Gould millions"
