abandoned her attempt to swim the

Arguments on Motions Heard
Here Last June.

Anita Oser, year old daughter OF
Mathilde Mccormick Oser, Of Berne,
Switzerland, won a victory today
over her grandmother, Edith Rookie
feller Mccormick, in a suit in FEEDER
al Court in which the baby is claimed
to be presnnptive heir to $7,500,000-
Judge Robert C. Baltzell overruled
motions filed by the grandmother
and the Equitable Trust Company, Of
New York, trustees Of the fortune,
in which they sought to quash ser
vice of process against them on the
grounds the court had no jurisdic-
ton over them.
/ Arguments Last June
Judge Baltzell has had the mo-
tions under advisement since a hear
ing June 8, when arguments were
heard. The effect of his ruling today
is to say the trust company and Mrs.
Mccormick are within the jurisdic
ton Of the court. They probably
will file answers to the complaint
soon.
The suit was brought by Anita
Oser by Harold f. Mccormick. her
next friend" in reality her grand
father, to prevent the trust company
from allocating the $7,500,000 to the
baby's grandmother as income de-
rived from 1900 shares of stock
of the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana. set aside as a trust fund
in 1917 by John D. Rockefeller.
Income Question
Under the deed Of trust Mrs. Nc
Cormick was to receive the income
as long as she lived, life tenant.
In an accounting in December, 1924,
the Equitable Trust Company allo-
Gated 123,S24 shares Of the stock
to Mrs. Mccormick as income.
The complaint asks the court to
decree that the stock is not income
but should be treated as a part Of
the original fund, to which Anita
may become heir at the death Of
her grandmother.
