BRIDGEPORT, May 14. (Special
to The Sentinel)-—~Thrce legacies. en~

to two New York city bankers' clubs
and two Pennsylvania Masonic or-
ders by Edmund C. Converse. banker.
late of Greenwich. who left an estate
of $15,000, are upheld as valid by
Judgc'Leorlard J. Nickel-son in a doe

yesterday. The organizations whore

Action \vu_ brought by the exec-
utors of the Converse'wvill to deter-
mine it‘ the four organizations were
not. forbidden to accept the legacies
because, it was claimed. they were
not “charitable or religious" bodies.
Thc court was also asked to decide
whether the bequeaths were to be
administered under the laws of Con-
necticut. whet-in the Converse will
was drawn. or in the states in which
the legumes were domiciled.
“No Uncertainties"
“There are no uncertainties or dif—
ficultlcs about the legacies of the
two New York clubs." Judge Nickcr-
son says in ruling that they are to
be administered under Connecticut
laws. “The purposes of Masonry are
religious and charitable." says Judge
Nickerson. “Its charity extends be-
yond its immediate members to all
mankind. it teaches morality and
upright conduct to mankind in gen.
oral and is not limited to its mem-
bers.”_
“Charity is not confined to mere
almsglving or the relief of poverty
and distress," he continues, “but has
a wider slznificatfon. It embraces

In this state there is no distinction

Judge Nickerson declares. "They only

utes regarding exemption from taxa-

general rule that a gift to a. fraternal
order will be upheld as a. valid char-
itable gift. Such has universally been
held with respect to bequeaths-? to
masonic bodies."
Counsel for the executors argued
during the trial that the Pennsyla
runla lodges might use the maney
they receive under the will for en-
poses.
