Boy and Two Girls Born of Guinevere Sinc^r, * V Disinherited. "' New York.--The three children of the late George J. Gould by Guinevere Sinclair Gould will notpSliare In the estate of their father's father. Jay Gould. By a decision handed down by Referee James A- O'Gorman, George ten; Jane S., nine, and Guinevere^ three, were eliminated from any participation in the $82,000,000 estate. Those who will profit by the decision are Gloria Gould Bishop, Jay Gould, Kingdon Gould, Edith Gould, Marjorle Gould Drexel and Vivian Gould (Lady Dedes), children of George J., by his first Wife, Edith Klngdon Gould. The decision has long been awaited by numerous attorneys on both sides, but it came at this time as a complete surprise. The clause of tlie will in controversy Is the so-called "marriage clause" by which Jay Gould stipulated that any of his children who married after his death without the consent of a majority 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 not to second ones. "If, In my opinion," Referee O'Gorman said, "It should be held that the restraint extended beydnd the first marriage, it would be Inconsistent with public policy, and should be adjudged void, especially considering that the persons whose consents were necessary were persons who would profit in each 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 J. Gould by his second marriage 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 Gould within the meaning of the term as employed In the will of Jay Gould." The three children are, however, amply provided for, as George Gould In his will left his own property to the youngsters by his second marriage.

It WHS added that "the contrary view requires a very dry and literal reading of the statute quite incong ent with its legislative history aad known and declared objects of framers."

"His discretion In that respect Is limited only by his own sense of what is wise and expedient and the inquiry at qpee suggests itself: To what end Is this discretion so vested in hint to be exercised? The obvious answer is: To the end that the names and addresses of the taxpayers and the amounts paid by than may be in* erally known.
