STOCK MARKET

New York, Jan. -Open1ng.-The
significant feature OF today's early
trading in stocks was the strength and
activity of IL. S. Steel, whose direc-
tors meet after the close of today's
session on the stock exchange. Steel
opened with a block of 1000 shares at
-s4 to "a 5-8 as against yesterdays clos
ing price of SO IL. This wAs followed
by numerous other lots of 1000 to 1000
shares up to So. There were gains in
specialties and war issues, while Bal
tirnore & Ohio and New York Central
were substantially higher. These ad-
vances were counterbalanced, how
ever, by declines in, Eries Southern
Railway preferred, and oils. Indus
trial Alcohol, after advancing two
points, fell back 1--WE.
Noon.-Trading in Steel during the
moderate first hour was larger than
the combined output in all other ac-
tive issues, approximating $4,000
shares. Steel's rise was met by some
profit taking, the stock reacting a
substantial fraction with /heaviness
and such specialt1es as Industrial AL
cohol, Baldwin Locomotive, the oils
and a few isolated issues. Later fresh
buying of Steel, the Pacidcs and other
stocks impaired re-
newed strength to the general list, but
dealings fell away to nominal proper

stagnant. Bonds were steady

YALE GIVES UP
ACCEPTS
100000 CASH

New York, Jan. 25-The three
daughters of the late General Brayton
Ives have won a victory in their fight
for what they consider an adequate
share of their fathers estate, vari-
ously estimated at from $1,2OO,0OO to
100000. They have forced the
Yale University Corporation to accept
their terms
Despite efforts Of the lawyers to
avoid publicity and the refusal of Yale
officials to discuss the case, on Oct. 15
last a detailed account of the struggle
of Miss Winifred Ives, Miss Frances
Ravens Ives and Mrs. Walter E. May
nard, who was Miss Unice Ives, to pre-
vent the entire estate, except about
100000, going to Yale was given.
Terms of Settlement.
Today it is learned, despite even
greater efforts at secrecy, present de-
tails of the settlement which has been
finally effected, are:
ton has agreed to re1inquish all it's
rights as General Ives residuary le-
gatee.
2. In place of the corporation Gen
era1 Ives daughters become co-equal
residuary 1egatees.
8. For relinquishing it's rights the
Yale University Corporation, upon the
settlement of the estate, is to receive a
sum slightly exceeding 100000 in
cash..
4. The requests made by General
Ives are to be honored with the .excep
ton, it is understood, of the 100000
to Mrs. Maynard and the annuity of
$4,000 to Miss Frances Havens Ives.
The estate is still in process of set
Element, and therefore it is impossi-
BILE to state its exact value.
Negotiations between counsel rep
resenting Yale University and the
daughters have been long drawn out.
It has been learned on indisputable
authority that the university stub
born1y resisted the demands of the
latter until they were informed by
Nico1I, Ana,bIe, Lindsay & Fuller,
counsel for the daughters, that suit to
break the. will would be entered forth
with.
Diary a Factor In Settlement.
It is understood that an important
factor in the negotiations was a diary
exists. In it the dead millionaire
wrote day by day the story of his
most intimate and personal affairs
with a candor described as brutal.
During, the negotiations the corpora
ton submitted many compromise Of
fers through it's counsel, Mr. Thacher;
but none of these met the opposition's
ideas of a ''fair settlement
Brayton Ives, distinguished veteran
Of the Civil War, millionaire, fnan-
cier, and art collector, died Oct. %,
1914 His will made the Yale Univer-
sity corporation his residuary legatee.
Miss Winifred Ives was left penniless;
an annuity of $4,000 was provided for
Miss Frances and 800, 900 was left to
Mrs. Maynard.
Both Miss Frances Ives and Mrs.
Maynard joined in the fight to get JUS
tice for Miss Wfnifred, whose disin-
heritance resulted, her friends say,
from the fact that she supported her
mother at the time the latter obtained
a separation agreement from General
Ives. Mrs. Brayton Ives was cared for
in the separation agreement made
some years before Gen. Ives's death.
