New York. Aug. 31,-Nany and va
ried were the estimates made to-day
Of the fortune left by Richard Mans
field. A general estimate placed his es-
tate at 100000. These estimates were
based on the following items: Stocks.
bonds. and rights to plays. 100000;
scenery, costumes, and effects. 100000:
house at S16 Riverside Drive. $4,000;
three estates at New London. Conn,
$3.50. 900; life insurance. S25O.00O.
Some OF these estimates were based
on pure guesswork and it is said are
too high The farms owned by Mr.
Mansfield which are said TO be wOrth-
$3.50, 900. are probably not worth muchs
more than half CT that amount, and his
life insurance is purely matter OF
guesswork.
Judge A. ]. Dittenhoefer, who is
named as the executor. said that he
himself did not know yet how much
the estate was worth, but that he
thought that it was large. but would
rot foot up, to 100000 by any means.
but perhaps exceed half a million dol
lars.
The will will be read on Monday aft
or the funeral. which will take place
from the Mansfield country home, Seven

FRANCES TASK HARDLY BEGUN
Moroccan Controversy Considered
Most Difficult of solution.

Paris. Aug. 3L-NObody has any idea
what the next development of the situa-
ton In Morocco will be. but Frances task
has hardly begun. Her embarrassment
over the rival claims of two SuItans is
great
Mulal Hafid IS the ADLER man. His per-
sonal sympathies with foreigners are
friendly. but his followers are chiefly anti
European. France cannot enter into any
agreement with him at present. for II
would ALLEVIATE his followers. Besides, his
claim TO the throne Is not yet established,
and he is still technically a, traitor.
On the other hand Abdul Aziz is hope
lessly weak as ruler. and 4 is regarded
as practically impossible that he can sue
coed in any circumstances in pacifying
the country and retaining the throne.
The question is how long the present
condition of anarchy will be allowed to
continue before foreign interference OF
some sort becomes imperative.

Founding of Institution.
The In stitution which will occupy this
building was founded seventeen years
ago at the first Pan-American conference,
held In Washington in the winter of 1885,

The original object as announced. was
that of making the American republics
better acquainted with one another and
Of exchanging information about their
respective resources and trade.
Il never. however. had the complete
support and interest Of the United States,
or Of her sister nations, until Elihu Root,
Secretary Of State, made his memorable
visit IN 1906 TO South America The third
Pan-American conference assembled at

The bureau IS strictly an international

States government. and maintained by
the joint contributions, based on popula-
ton. of the twenty-one American govern
ments. It's affairs are under the admins
tration Of a chief officer, called director,
who is elected by the governing board Of
the bureau. consisting Of the diplomatic
representatives in Washington of the

is DIT. Francisco J. Yanes. an eminent

Since the new administration took
charge OF it's affairs, the correspondence
of the bureau has quadrupled. while the
demand for its printed publications has
tripled. It's practical use is demonstrated
by the fact tina; during the last six
months it has developed business that
has added at least Sl5.000.000 to the value
of Pan-AmeTiCan foreign commerce.
