NEW YORK.-Mrs. Mary Adelaide
IN Yerkes continues as a tenant by
sufferance of the receiver in the man
sion at 1874 Fifth avenue, where she
lies Ill. When she RECEIVERS there
seems no other course at present than
that she be ousted AS the search for
assets progresses, friends of the wild

counts are audited that she will be not
only homeless. but literally penniless.
Inspired by loyalty to her. they have
suggested that she examine the legal
ity of the gifts made by her husband
to his beautiful ward, Emile Grigsby.
These suggestions have been summari-
lily dismissed by lawyers. They say
that Miss Grigsby's rights are unas-
sailable. She alone of those who en-
joyed the traction kings riches in life
is protected in them after his death.
Miss Grigsby continues to reside in

residents, who bought the property for
$10S.00O above the 100000 mortgage

made to turn the residence into a club

projected club, and recently decided
to give up the plan.
