WAKE FOREST GETS GIFT Principal Of Patriotic Fund Es tablished By Bostwick NEW YORK, May 20. Harry N. French, as referee, reported to the supreme court todav that Wake Forest college, of Wake Forest, N. C, is entitled to receive the prin cipal of a patriotic trust fund amounting to $1,375,000, which James A. Bostwick. director and one of the larerest stockholders of the standard Oil company, created in 1892. Included in the trust are 1,000 shares of Standard Oil stock. Mr. Bostwick provided that upon the death of his dauerhter, this fund was to be divided among her children, if they should "then be Americans." In case his daughter left no children of American citi zenship and residence, and her hus band fulfilled this condition, the trust further provided, then the fund was to be turned over to the Wlake Forest college and the hus band was to receive the income from the fund for life. The daughter of Mr. Bostwick was Mrs. Dannie n. voronon, wne of Dr. Serge Voronoff, the scient ist, who is said to have originated the monkey gland operation. She had been married xwice before, and left one child by her first marriage and two children by her second marriage. Neither of these chil dren, who are subjects and resi dents of England, nor Dr. Voronoff, qualified under the conditions fixed by Mr. Bostwick for the income of the trus t fund, the principal of which, therefore goes to Wake Forest College. The matter was submitted to Mr. French, as referee, upon the applica tion of the Farmers Loan and -Trust company, as executors - of the Bost wick estate, .for instructions "from the court about ; the disposition of th.3 .trust fund andjqdiciabjlg- The loss of the $1,375,000 will not affect the children of Mirs. Voro noff much, as Mr. Bostwick left an estate of nearly $30,000,000 to his widow, who in turn bequeathed the greater part to her daughter and her children. Mrs. Voronoff died about the same time as her mother, so that her share will be divided among her children. GOLDEN NEWS Infant Dead Snake Bite Personals (Special to The Sun) BOSTIC, R-4, May 22.
