T. B, M'kEAN To GET
PORT|0N0F INCOME
Court Allows Him About $780,
600 a Month Pending
Litigation.

Edward B. Mclean, son and only heir
of John r. Mclean, is to receive
monthly a sum equal to three-fourthS I
of the net income of his fathers es-
tate pending the determination of a
contest which he has instituted at
lacking the validity of his fathers will,
which gives him only the income from
the millions amassed by John X. Nc
Lean. Justice Gould signed the order
directing the American Security and
Trust Company to turn over at once
to Young Mclean three-fourths of the
accumulated income since the death OF
John r Mclean. which occurred June
8. Future payments will be MADE around
the first of each month.
The trust company made no oppo-
sition to the allowance to the son, ex-
cept to suggest that 1t be authorized
TO retain one-fourth Of the income ior
company gave no figures as to the
value of the estate nor as TO the
amount of the income, but 1T was gen
orally rumored about city hall that the
share to be paid Mr.. Mclean under the
court order would approximate $4,000
monthly. Counsel on both sides de-
| clined to state any figures
At the request OF the American Sc
curity and Trust Company Justice Gould
allowed the company to intervene IN
the suit filed last Saturday by Edward
r. Mclean against Francis r Home
of Baltimore and New York to compel
the surrender of certain personal anu
private letters found among the effects
| of John K. Mclean. The court con-
| tinued until August 2 hearing on the
application for a permanent injunction
| or for a dissolving of the restraining
| order now in force against Mr.. Homer
to prevent the surrender of the letters
| to the trust company.
| The trust company, in it's petition tc
| intervene declares that it considers
| itself a necessary party to the proceed
| ing, as it is an attempt to prevent II
| from receiving certain papers and let
| from which may affect its interest as
| executor under the will of John X. Nc
