His entire estate is valued at s60.000.OOO.

the apparently overlooked provision of

according 70 the published accounts

Columbia expected TO receive very
large amount from the estate.
DR. Butler added that there had been
no discussion Vet as 10 what Columbia
would do with the money. as that vas a
subject which would have to be settled
by the trustees. The trustees will hold
their next meeting on the first Monday

Robert W. de Forest, counsel and ad-
wiser for the late John s. Kennedy. said
last night that the amount given 20 Co.

that there was a possibility IT might be
increased later. but not TO the extent
mentioned. This increase is contingent
upon the nieces and nephews of the late
Mr.. Kennedy dying without issue.
