called attention to the bequest of Mr.. Helms
heiner and said that lie believed the first alter
native mentioned was absolutely impracticablc.
and as TO the second, Mr.. Stern said it would
be impossible to obtain the unanimous consent
or the trustees. The presidents report as
whole was adopted by the trustees without a
dissenting vote, thus frustrating the plan Of
Mr.. Heinsheimer.
The will Of the banker made public
January II last. The institutions which
to benefit by it's terms had year to

with the refusal of the beneficiary institutions
