Claims to the Gibson Tu Item.
There was an important. hearing his
fore sludge. ifloulhlin in the Probate
Court. Bridgeport, on the application
of Judge Carroll. counsel for the
Bridgeport Trust 00.. as administrator
on the estate of the late George II‘ Gil-
man, on a compromise agreement
whereby the administrator is asked to
release all claim to the ties stores in
this state belonging to the George F.
Gilman estate to the new corporation,
for which the new on poration will
turn over $86,000 in pro erred stock.
A. similar application has been
brought before the Surrogate court
New York city, which was later- r i
lied. resulting In a compromise agree-
ment between the Gilman heirs and
George H. Hartford, who claimed to he
an equal partner to Mr. Clinton in the
ten business, The result or the com
promise was that the tea company was
organised with a capital stock of O2;
100. 000 Mr. Hartford taking for his
share 3700, 000 worth of preferred
stock and $150,000 of common. The
heirs of the estate farting 81,250,000
shares of common stock. upon which
Mr. Hartford agrees that the new
corporation will pay 6 per cent. inter-
est annually.
There are six or seven stores in
Connecticut which were not affected
by the agreement, and so a separate
application was made before the Pro
bate courts of this state. for the pur-
pose of having the seven stores in the
stats come under the control of the
new tea corporation. At the hearing
there was present Judge A. B Beers.

representing George W. Smith a inter
cats or claim in the estate.
The only opposition to the applica-
tion was from Mr. Judson, who oppos-
ed the application on the ground that
it would not bring enough of the Gil.
man property into the state. This op.
position was based on the supposition
that in the event of George Smith‘s
clshns all being allowed there will not
be enough estate In Connecticut to eat-
lsfy it. and there would be great le al
difficulties encountered. in get
money in New York state on a Connec-

what amount he wanted the corpora-
tion to put up for the seven tea stores
till the matter was finally adiudlcat
ed. The attorneys for all the other
interests were favorable to the agree.

stated that the amount in trust for the
