Gates Inheritance
Tax Case Argued;
Decision Reserved
State Contends Widow of
Fislancier Lived Here;
Executors Deny Right to
Levy ON $4,000, 900

Surrogate Foley reserved decision
yesterday en- the question whether Mrs.
Delora r. Gates, widow of John w.
Gates, was resident of New York or
Texas at the time of her death in
1918. On the outcome of the proceed
lngs depends the amount of Inherit
ance tax which the State of New York
is to receive from the estate of Mrs
Gates, valued at about $17,600,000.
The State Comptroller contends that
Mrs. Gates, who had an apartment at
the Hotel Plaza, was resident of New
York and therefore her entire estate
should be taxed in this state. On the
other hand, the executors insist that
the widow of the Texas oil man and
tinancier was a resident of Port Arthur,
Tex, which former Surrogate Fowler
held, in similar proceeding, over the
estate of Mr.. Gates, was the legal place
of residence Of the latter. If the argu-
ment of the executors prevails then
the State of New York will collect a
tax on only some personal property of
Mrs. Gates held here and valued at
something more than $1,00o,000.
Counsel for the estate said that Mrs.
Gates, in her will executed two months
before her death, specifically declared
where she had large private estate.
He also pointed out that the will Of
Mr.. Gates was probated in Texas. AS
to the paintings which Mrs. Gates had
in her Hotel Plaza apartment, and
which had a value of nearly 100000,
the attorney said, they were there only
for safe keeping.
Counsel for the State Comptroller
said that Mr.. Gates had been resident
of Chicago before he came here in
1904, when he and his wife took an
apartment at the Waldorf-Astoria,
from which domicile Mr.. Gates voted
in 1905 and 1906. Counsel said that
investigation showed that Mr.. and Mrs.
Gates regarded their apartment at the
Hotel Plaza, to which they moved from
the Waldorf, thein permanent home,
He also mentioned that Mrs. Gates had
a mausoleum built in Woodlawn
Cemetery at an expense of 100000.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gates and their son,
Charles G. Gates. are buried there.
