THE CROKER MILLIONS.
Estimate of the Wealth Inher-
tied by Three Children
at Uplands.
The Interest on 100000 Given An
nually to Charities by the
Orocker Trust.

Various estimates have been made as to
the value of the estate devised under the
will of the late G. F. Crocker to his three
children, Mary, Templeton and Jennie
Crocker. Men who ought 10 have fair
knowledge regarding the value of South
ern Pacific Railroad property held by the
Crocker Estate Company say that c. f.
Crocker's one-fourth interest hardly fell
short of S12. 600, 900. The estimate is based
on the value of the estates which Charles
Crocker and his wife bequeathed to Mrs.
Alexander, G. F., George and William h.
Crocker and reasonable calculation for
increase of value since the Crocker trust
was organized. If this estima ate be ap-
proxima ely correct, each child inherits
81 000 600.
Some comment has been made and sur
prise expressed that the will of Colonel
Crocker contained no bequests for charity
or public institutions. The fact transpires
that G. F., George ano Will Crocker and
