WILL STILL RULES FIELD FORTUNE Marshall 111 and Marsh Boy Lose Their Contests. • CHICAGO, June 12.—Judge Charles M. Foell has ruled that, through his will, Marshall Field might continue to control the disposition of his estate, it became known today. The ruling was obtained through the friendly suit instituted by Capt. Marshall Field 111 against his co-trustees of tho $100,000,000 residuary estate, the Merchants Loan and Trust Company, Chaunce.v Keep and Arthur B. Jones. Capt. Field contended the clause of the will directing that the residuary estate be held in truant until he is 50 years old Is a violation of the rule against perpetuities and contrary to public policy. He asked that tbe whole estate be turned over to him at once. Capt. Field won his contention that he was entitled to his deceased brother Henry’s two-fifths share of the estate, less the dower interest of Mrs. ' Nancy Perkins Field Tree, widow of Henry Field. This under the court's ruling will amount to ope-thlrd of the income from the real estate held in trust in the name of Henry Field. The specific amount was not mentioned. The claim for Henry Field’s share of the estate made by former Gov. Edward F. Dunne, on behalf of Henry Anthony Marsh, son of Henry Field and Peggy Marsh, an English actress, was denied. Judge Foell held that Marshall Field’s intent (o provide only for legitimate issue of his heirs was plainly indicated. Tbe court added that had the will expressly provided for illegitimate issue it vXould be necessary, in the interest of public policy, to disregard such provision. 1 be ruling of Judge Foell was made verbally. In his chambers. He Instructed that a decree embracing the ruling be , drawn and submitted for his signature. Counsel for Capt. Field indicated an appeal would be taken.
