SAYS SHE is DESTITUTE

Justice Anderson. presiding in the Pro-
bate Court, today denied the request or
Mrs. Rose Keeling Hutchins. widow of
Stlson Hutclrins. millionaire philanthro-
pist for an allowance out of the estate.
pending the litigation involving the pro-
bate of three wills left by her husband.
Mrs. Hutchins noted an appeal to the
Court of Appeals. but. as that court will
shortly take its summer recess, the mat
ter cannot be reached until next fall.
In her petition Mrs. Hutchins tells
the court she is in necessitous circum-
stances. although entitled to receive
an income Of $4,000 annually from
her share in the estate. Although her
months. the widow complains she has
not had one cent out of his estate.
Sons Oppose Request.
Counsel for the sons of Mr. Hutchins
opposed the allowance on the plea that
the court is without jurisdiction unless
Mrs. Hutchins should renounce the pro-
visions made for her under the Wills and
elect to take her dover in the estate 1t
was urged that if the will of latest date,
around which the contest now wages, be
set aside. the next later dated document
would be propounded and in the event a
protest against that was sustained, the
earliest will would have to be passed on.
Until some will is sustained. 1t was
urged on the court, Mrs. Hutchins, out
side of her dover. has no title to the
property and no claim to any portion of
the income.
Debts as an Obstacle.
1t was also suggested as possibility
that the debts of the financier might ex-
haust all his personal estate. and then
there would be nothing to advance to the
widow in the Probate Court which has
no jurisdiction over the real estate
Mrs. Hutchins asked for one-third of
her share of the income to relieve her
pressing needs, and offered to give bond
to return the advances if required later
