to-day attracted a large attendance of
shareholders, who passed a vote of no con-

OF the stormiest city meetings on record.
The whole meeting was disorderly. The

him to announce to the meeting that Mr..
Hammond's connection with the min dated
from after the shortage of ore reserves was
discovered. His lordship proceeded to say
that a cable message received from State
Geologist Ricard, of Colorado, dated Oct.
20, conveyed the first animation OF serious
Misrepresentation on the part of the old
management in regard to the value Of ores.
This was not published because it was
vague and incomplete, but, had the direc-
tors had any warning of the discrepancy Of
$12, 000,0 900. as shown in the subsequent re-
port of Mr.. Hammond, dated Nov. "a, they
woul certainly have made Mr.. Ricard's
statement public. Mr.. Ricard made a per-
sonal explanation at the meeting, and a
long and animated discussion, marked by
wild disorder and much execration, fol-
lowed. Chaos reigned, amidst which the
mass of shareholders left. Lord Chester
field then declared the report carried,
though the meeting had previously voted to
postpone its consideration for two months.

VALUED AT 52,500,00
ESTATE OF THE LATE CORNELIUS
VANDERBILT APPRAISED.
Young Alfred Will Have $44,OOO,OOO,
but Has Agreed to Give His
Brother $6,OOO,OOO.

NEW YORK, Dec. THE World will
say tomorrow that, after a long delay, the
heirs of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt have
agreed to the appraisement of the estate
as made by G.. B. Hasbrouck, representing
the state controller. This appraisement Is
$52,5 500, 900 for the real estate. The figures
insisted on by the heirs were $i9,S 26, $50 SO,
but Mr.. Hasbrouck stood firm and has at
last gained his point. In the meantime
there was great speculation as to what the
residuary estate would be. According to
the terms of the will, all that remained
after the various requests had been di-
vided was to go to Alfred Vanderbilt.
Young Vanderbilt, now the head of the
great house, had not been able to tell just
how much he was worth. The estimate
fixed by Senator Depew just after the will
was filed for probate was that the estate
Of his old assistant would be valued at
s7o.O 600. 900. This would have given to the
residuary legatee sS4, 500, 200. The estimate
of Senator Depew was not very far off, al
though it was not generally accepted at the
time. The general opinion was Cornelius
Vanderbilt was worth anywhere from $780,
600, 600 to $125, 600, 900.
Under agreement decided upon yesterday
Alfred Will get S2,5OO,OU more than Senator
Depew gave him, and his entire fortune
will amount to $4,000, 900. But out of this
residuary estate Alfred has agreed to give
to Cornelius sc, 900, 900 in order to prevent a
lawsuit threatened because the eldest
brother was cut off with only 1850, 600. The
total amount coming to Cornelius, inclusive
of the portion from the residuary estate,
will reach s., 500 900.
The transfer tax on the Vanderbilt estate
will reach $4,000. Already the executors
have paid into the State the sum of 1919, 500,
which was paid early to get advantage of a
reduction of 5 per cent. Controller Coler
will get a snug sum from the Vanderbilt
estate. His fee will amount to 1900.
