CHILDREN LOSE

Boy and Two Girls Born of

Disinherited.

New York.-The tGree children of
the late George j. Gould by Guinevere
Sinclair Gould will not share In the
estate of their fathers father. Jay
Gould.
By decision handed down by Ref
cree James A. O'Gorman. George s.,

three, were eliminated from any par
ticipation in the $82,O00.O00 estate.
Those WHO will profit by the deci-
zion are Gloria Gould Bishop, Jay
Gould, Kingdom Gould, Edith Gould,
Marjorie Gould Drexel and Vivian
Gould (Lady Decies), children of
George j. by his first wife. Edith
Kingdom Gould.
The decision has long been awaited
by numerous attorneys on both sides,
but 1t came at this time as complete
surprise.
The clause of the will in controversy
Is the so-called marriage clause" by
which Jay Gould stipulated that any
of his children who married after his
NNAsA WltAOut lAc NOAoCAl "a q AAANAJo-
ity of the trustees of the estate would
forfeit one-half their share.
Referee O'Gorman held that this
clause applies only to first marriages
and hot to second ones.
III. in my opinion" Referee O'Gor-
man said, 1T should be held that the
restraint extended beyond the first
marriage, it would be inconsistent
with public policy, and should be adj
judged void, especially considering that
the persons whose consents were nee
essary were persons who would profit
in eacn instance by Withholding it,
Then, in barring the children of
Mrs. Guinevere Sinclair Gould, the
court said:
'"The claim that the three children
of George ]. Gould by his second mar
riage are entitled to participation In
the trust fund created for George j.
Gould's benefit, is without merit and
must be dismissed. These children
were born out of wedlock, and are
not issue of George j. Gould within
the meaning Of the term as employed
in the will of Jay Gould"
The three children are, however, am
ply provided for, as George Gould In
his will left his own property to the
youngsters by his second marriage

ocean ships to lake ports. The ex-
pense would be largely for the build

The origin of petroleum is matter
of much speculation. 1t is probably
produced in part by the SLOW decom-
position Of both animal and vegetable
matter deeply buried in sedimentary
rocks and in part by the fermentation
and decay Of organic matter at the
earth's surface, the resulting oil being
deposited contemporaneously with the
rocks in which it is preserved. Some
petroleum may also be produced by
the action of water on deeply buried
metallic carbides.
