MCNEY REFUNDED WITH A SMILE Relatives of the la tv Mrs. Barbara K. Dodd will contest her will which bequeathed the bulk of her fortune, approximately $100,000, to Mercer University. Charles E. Currier, ex ecutor, has been informed of the pro posed contest by Mrs. Fannie T. Ack erman, of New York, sister of Mrs. Dodd. A breach with her relatives several years' ago caused Mrs. Dodd, widow of the late Philip Dodd, n wealthy At lantan, to destroy a will executed In 1906, in which a considerable sum was set aside for her brother and sister and their children. It Is said a disagreement following the estab lishment of a sanitarium at Mrs. Dodd’s old jesidenc* on Whitehall Street, by the sons of Henry S. Dibble,' her brother, led to the estrangement. Attorney C. P. Goree. who drew the last will, said it was clearly Mrs Dodd's intention that little be left her relatives, j Mrs. Dodd had considerable trouble £ with her nephews about a loan on a * sanitarium established some years S * ago,” said Mr. Goree-. ”Jn fact, she had to take the matter into the courts I for a settlement ‘‘That Is why the Mercer bequest £ was not in the form of an endow- jfcinent, blit as a fund to be loaned de serving young men. I have not been f informed of any intention to contest the will and I can not »ee what grounds the contest will be based * upon.” ♦ It is recalled that Mrs. Dodd be- Aqueathed to her brother, Henry S. # Dibble, $5,000 to be held in trust; *that he was to receive only the pro ceeds from its investment, and that * at his death the amount was to re- ♦ vert to the Mercer fund To her sis- * ter. Mrs Fannie T. Ackerman, was ♦ left a similar sum, without Incum- * brance. ♦ Charles E. Currier, president of the Atlanta National Hank, executor of m the will, said Monday that if a con- 1 * test is made he will quit. • : Carnegie Aids Ghent Memorial Project iff * Agrees to Help Pay Expense of Pre serving Room in Which Treaty Was Signed. » WASHINliTUN, May ]*.
