Management of Property Must Be
Itetained for Period of Lease
From Wilcox Instate.
Thilip L. .Metschan, son of the lateJ
Phil Metschan, may have a controlling
interest in the Imperial Hotel com
pany, of which he is manager, if he
bo desires, under the terms of the will
of his father, admitted to probate by
Circuit Judge Taswell yesterday. This
company holds a lease on the hotel
property from the Wilcox estate, a
lease which has 15 years yet to ran.
A valuation of $300,000 is placed
on the estate of the late hotel man
by Attorney Alfred A. Hampson of the
firm of Dey, Hampson & Nelson, who
filed the petition in probate yester
day. The chief property is in cap
Hal stock of the Imperial Hotel com
pany, the remainder being in personal
property and some real estate. Lib
erty bond holdings are said to form
a. good share of the personal prop
erty. Philip L. Metschan, Otto W. Mets
chan and Henry Anton Metschan were
uppointed executors of the estate by I
Judge TazwelU as. requested in the
will. Of the three only Philip Mets
chan is empowered to vote the stock
of the hotel company at stockholders'
meetings. He may vote this- for the
election of himself as director, presi
dent, manager or anything else and
rray receive salary as such without
bing disqualified, provides the will.
Allowance Given Widow.
Under the terms of the testament,
flr.al settlement of the estate is not
to be made until the termination of
the Wilcox lease, or the death of the
'widow, Mrs Maria E. Metschan,
should she be living when the lease
ends.
Provision is made for the widow to
receive $250 a month during the re
mainder of her lifetime, as well as
the bequest of household goods and
automobile.
The lease on the. hotel property
was taken out orisr'nally between the
late Theodore B. Wilcox ano Phil and
Philip L. Metschan, September 15.
3 908. Later it was assigned to the
Imperial Hotel company with the per
mission of Mr. Wilcox, with the pro
vision that, it always be controlled
by the father or son. To Insure this
Joint control the two Metschans en
tered into an agreement by which
425 shares of the capital stock of the
company, sufficient to guarantee the
balance of power, were placed in
trust by them, each reserving the
right to purchase the shares so
placed, if desired.
Shares Not to Be Sold.
Under the terms of the will no
shares of the capital stock of the
company shall be sold or distributed
before the final settlement or clos
ing of the estate, so that the con
trol shall be lost to the estate or to
Philip L. Metschan. Other shares
shall not be sold except to pay In
debtedness of the estate, including
taxes, legacies and expenses of ad
ministration. Any residue from such
sales shall be divided among six of
the nine children, each receiving 75
fc55ths. At the distribution of the estate
after final settlement all shares of
the capital stock, except the 25
which are for the benefit of the three
children acting as executors, are to
be divided equitably among the six
other children. They are: Mrs. Va
leska M. Flanders, Frank M. Mets
chan and Edward L. Metschan of
Portland, Mrs. Kmella M. Meredith
and Mrs. Julia M. Griffith of Salem
and Mrs.' Anna Cattanach of Oregon
City.
Heirloom Left to Philip.
In case Philip L. Metschan exer
cises his right to purchase the 425
shares in the hotel company, then
the purchase price is bequeathed
equally among Philip. Otto and
Henry Metschan. If he does not pur
chase the stock the dividends from
them will be divided among these
three sons. Philip Metschan is man
ager, Otto Metschan, assistant man
ager, and Henry Metschan, auditor,
of the Imperial hotel.
To Mrs. Effie R. Tobin and Mrs.
Ada L. N'eill, step-daughters, 500
each is bequeathed. In addition to
everything else, Philip Metschan is
left a drinking glass engraved with
a crown, a family heirloom.
The will expresses the desire that
the inheritance taxes shall be paid
out of the estate and n-t by the in
