FIELD ESTATE IS
CAUSING QUARREL
With EXECUTORS
Mrs. Drummond Angry Over the
Acts Of Dead Magnate's
Chosen Managers.

New York, March 1.-The publicity
attending the theft of $4,000 in dia-
unonds and pearls from Mrs. Maldwin
Drummond, formerly Mrs. Marshall
Field, jr.. or the liner A1nerika. las
revealed the fact that the real reason
for the visit of the Drummonds to his
country at this time is because OF q
disagreement the former Mrs. Field
has had with the guardians OF the for
tune of 5000, 000, 900, which their grand
father and father left to her children.
Contrary to general belief. Mrs.
Drummond4 is q woman of great
of her fatherinlaw and her husband
she received about 100000. in cash and
the income from a trust fund of ST..
O00, 000. The remainder of the great
Field fortune, estimated o at $780,
100000 and steadily growing, was left
Field third. Henry Field and Gwen
dolin Field.
Disagree On Management.
Complete control of this fortune has
rested in the hands of the executors
of the wills of both Fields. These are
Arthur B. Jones and chauncey Keep,
of the Merchants Loan and Trust
company. of Chicago, and William G,
Beale, an attorney of that city.
These men have ideas of their "
on the management Of the fortune and
the futures OF the two young men and
their sister, to whom all ultimately will
go. Their IDEAS are said to be at var
lance with those Of Mrs. Drummond.
The Drun1monds were so anxious
that nothing should be known of their
visit that they did not have their
names appear on the regular passenger
list of the Amerika. They boarded the
steamer at Southampton and their
names appeared later on the supple
mental list, which few people canned.
During he oya they did not appear
their meals in the Ritz-Carlton res
taurant.
Control of Children.
There was a clause in the Field WI
that allows the executors to interfere
with Mrs. Drummond when her plans
prevail. When Marshall Field, ir.. ac-
cidentally killed himself with a re-
volver in 1905. his widow appeared
perfectly satisfied with the will. Two
years later she took the children to
Europe, where they We're placed in
school,. Later the children returned
here and the boys We're in a school in
Massachusetts, for some time. They
are now in Chicago.
After her marriage in 1908 to Mald>
win. Drummond, Mrs. Field conceived
the idea of taking her children to Eng
LAND and making that country thei,
future home, as it is now her country
She was about to carry out his plar
when the executors objected. They
maintain that it was the manifest in
tention OF Marshall Field when he
made his will that his %grandsons
should receive American education.
and become American business men.
