Mr, Plant left an estate of $10. 000,000 and being apparently of the opinion that the great property accumulated by him after he had attained his fiftieth year might be dissipated by his immediate heirs he had a will drawn with the object ¢ keeping his estate intact for at least sixty years His widow and son were $30,000 a year each, for which a special tund | was created. The sidue and accumula tions we left to the e st son of Morti- mer F. Plant, who is now § years old, and he is not to receive ihe fortune until his youngest child is of age. The Plant mil- lions are thus left in reality to a great | grandson of the testator. The estate, it is | estimated, will by that time 000,000, The will probated in New haven, Conn., where the Plants had a summer home and that state was claimed by the testator as his legal residence. The will was drawn by Joseph Lynde Harrison of New Haven, who Is named as one of the trustees, Mr. Harrison is named | as one of the defendants by Mrs. Plant, as are also the other trustees, her son Morti- mer Freeman Plant, George L. Tilley and Robert G. Erwin. Mrs. Plant asks that o receiver be appointed over certain property by the New York courts and that the courts here take entire charge of the es- tate. She prays that the will and codicils be upheld only as far as they are consistent | with the laws of this state and that the defendants be directed to bring back into the jurisdiction of the New York courts all securities and property removed to Con- necticut, She further asks that all pro- | ceedings taken there, in view of the probate of the will, be declared null and void. | PEOPLE RUSH TO BEAUMONT 01D be worth $100, was very Causes Remarkable In- crease in Land and Other Values.
