INHERITANCE Is S12,OOO,O 900

New York, Nov 2-Gladys Moore
Vanderbilt. youngest child of the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt. who attained her
majority Aug 81, yesterday was put in
possession of more than S12000,00O
through legal proceedings in the su-
preme court.
Miss Vanderbilt was not present III
court when her mother, Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, was discharged as her
guardian. The proceedings were pure
ly formal and occupied but a moment
of the courts time. A member of the
firm of Anderson & Anderson handed
up paper in which was stated that
Mrs. Vanderbilt had fulfilled her duties
as guardian TO the satisfaction of her
daughter.
Nothing was said in the petition for
the dismissal of the wardship of the
amount of money that Mrs. Vanderbilt
had handled. In fact. no money was
mentioned at all.
Comes Into Big Fortune.
The moment Justice Mccall signed
the petition of Miss Vanderbilt she was
no longer an heiress, but the possessor
of the great fortune left by her father
seven years ago.
Her share in the 1000. 900 estate
was S7,500.000 in bonds and securities
bearing between and per cent in

years would aggregate more than 81.

gary. He and his brothers are eacl
equipped with great fortunes.

Owing TO the fact that the Little

have been found along the river
