Real Value of Late Financier's Estate
Fixed by Court Appraisers.

New York, Dec. 4.---Edward H. Har-
riman when he died was worth STAG,
900, 900.
This became known today when the
appraisers appointed by the surro-
gates court completed their estimate
of, the late financier's holdings. Be-
fore the railroad wizards death and
shortly after it all sorts of estimates
were made about his fortune, ranging
from $50,00O,0O0 to $250.000,0O0, but
there was no means of telling, even
approximately. how much wealth the
mysterious little man had accumu-
lated.
The $14s.0OO,OO0 Is rather more than
most guessers at Mr.. Harriman's
riches thought he had. The general
estimate of his estate was $100,000.000.
The state of New York under the in
heritance tax will receive from Mr..
Harriman's estate the comfortable sum
of $1,490,0O0. as 1t collects / per cent

GRAND JURY NOT
YET DISCHARGED
JUDGE REFUSED TO DISCHARGE
THEM UNTIL SUPREME COURT
RULES ON QUESTION
BEFORE 1T.

Bismarck. N. D.. Dec. 4-The spe-
cial grand jury which has been inves-
tigating the conduct OF the two county
officers for the past few days, came in
to court this afternoon and handed
certain papers to the clerk and stated
to the court that they had concluded
their business and asked to be dis
charged. The court said he was sorry
he could not grant their request and
allow them to go to their homes and
gave as a reason that there was a GER
tain matter pending before the supreme
court in which the attorney general
was asking the supreme court to pass
upon the courts ruling in which he
had ruled that until it had been made
to appear by a proper showing that
the state attorney had neglected or
refused to perform his duties, that, in
the opinion of the court, it would be
illegal and improper for the attorney
purpose of giving them advice and
assisting them in the performance of
their duty.
Waiting for Ruling.
In this connection, the court said he
was very anxious to have the ques-
ton determined by The higher court,
and if that court took different view
of the law than what had been held.
he would be very glad to be corrected
and giveathe attorney general a chance
to go before the jury and present to
them such matters as might be proper
and legal.
The jury was then told that they
might go out and hold themselves in
readiness to comply with any further
order which it might be necessary to
make in view of the matter which is
pending before the supreme court.
It was rumored on the streets here
that the return of the grand jury con-
tains one indictment, but of course it
is impossible to confirm that rumor at
the present time.

TROUBLE FOR LaFoLLETTE.
Conference Failed to Bring
Results.

Milwaukee, Dec. 4-The conference
of LaFollette supporters, which began
at midnight and lasted until late this
forenoon, appears to have been a fail
ure. 1t was intended to eliminate some
of the republican candidates for gov
ernor, to make the way easier for the
real LaFollette candidates But the
candidates refused to be eliminated and
after a long conference agreed to dis
agree.
Anri-La Toilette republicans take the
attitude that LaFollette, in arranging
such a conference, is again putting
himself in conflict with the primary
law, which he himself passed They
contend that the primary law, devised
to prevent politicians from debating
nominations, would be violated by a
LaFollette faction agreement to have
no rivalry in the regular LaFollette
slate.
There are four candidates for gov
ernor who claim to bear the LaFollette
stamp and none will withdraw The
candidates are: Captain William Nit
chell Lewis Of Racine, millionaire man
ufacturer, who is thought to be La
Follette's hacker, now that Stephenson
is no longer behind him; Senator
Thomas Morris of Lacrosse. evidently
the man wanted by LaFollette; F. E.
| McGovern of Milwaukee, the anti
graft district attorney who posed at
a LaFollette candidate for senior sena-
tor against Stephenson two years ago,
but who, the LaFoIlette men hint, was
stool pigeon to draw off votes from
w. H Hatton, the real LaFolIette can
] didate and Lieutenant Governor John
Strange who declares he is the logi-
cal candidate. f~
Morris the Favorite,
The Lacrosse senator is apparently
! the IaFollette favorite, for Colonel
John Hannah, LaFollette's private Sec
rotary, when cheer for McCfovern was
proposed, secured counter applause for
Morris.
/ Instead of the meeting harmonizing
the La Toilette men, it has apparently
dissipated all hope of their getting to-
gether
/ Herman l.. Ekern will probably be
the LaFollette candidate for insurance
commissioner. Assistant Attorney Gem
Gral Titus will also probably receive
LaFollette support. for the republican
nomination for the attorney general

The Financer will say: Apparently through
a contraction of bank loans, which was affected
by the transfer of the trust companies during
the week. the bank statement was slightly
more favorable than was indicated by the early
estimates. The cash loss was expected TO be
as great as seven millions, owing 10 transfers

STOCK MARKET
REMAINS QUIET

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-United States steel
continued to hold the center of attention IN
today's stock market, but its making Of
further new record prices did not carry the
whole market upward with if.
Expectation of a poor bank statement
had some restraining force upon the gen.
eral movement, but the movement in
United States steel itself caused some feel
ing of distrust. There is growing con-
lecture of some special development in
prospect aside from the prosperous trade
conditions to account for. the rapid ap
proach of this 9 per cent industrial divi-
dend stock TO par.
The con lecture evidently aims to adjust
itself to the high price of both the pre-
ferred and common stocks, and the con-
trary tendency in the price of the COM
pany's sinking fund bonds, which have
shown some decline while the stocks were
breaking previous records.

There were other points of strength in the

London shipped large amounts OF gold to
Egypt and fears of dearer money affected

with no loan market on Saturday, the
state of the call money market here was
not disclosed.
The bank statement disclosed much

from last week The clearing house banks
contracted outstanding loans S7,2So,9 500 by
the averages and SIC, 800 by the actual

The increase of sl1. 700 in the aver

companies, shows how little this scaling
down of the bank loans affected the real
credit.
