the $4,000 trust fund granted the
lady managers of the Worlds Column
bian exposition in 1893 remained I'M
custodian Of the fund, left for her
winter home in Sarasota, Florida
Mrs. Palmer, whose ideas of the
proper use Of the fund differ from
President Of the worlds Columbian
exposition. left second statement in
which she made it clear that MI.
Higinbotham's suggestion that the
$4,000 be augmented by 1900 600
from the estate of the late Potter Pal
mer and used in the erection OF q
woman's building did not meet her
The Potter Palmer will devised
100000 for a woman's building. but
it stipulated that the structure should
be erected in the Lake Front park.
Mrs. Palmer pointed out that supreme
court decisions forever bar such use
Of the park and that the trustees OF
the Palmer estate "have no power or
authority to use 100000 Of his estate
under the conditions of the will now
impossible of fulfillment."
In equally positive terms Mrs. Pal
mer stated that the $4,000 fund did
not come as Mr.. Higinbotham stated,
as a gift from the worlds fair direc-
ems and children's buildings and Is
dedicated to "philanthropic work"
Before boarding the train for Flor
ida. Mrs. Palmer replied to q petition
of the woman's party of Cook county
that the fund be used for woman's
forum. She said that in her opinion
such a use of the money would be a
deviation from the purpose to which
this fund was dedicated"
The securities in which the fund was
invested were checked over by COM
mittee of bankers at Mrs. Palmer's
request and the report that the fund
amounted to $67,750 was incorporated
in Mrs. Palmer's statement.
