ASTOR APPRAISAL PLANS
One Set of Men to Pass On the
Value Of Estate.

John Y. Coggey state transfer tax ap-
praisor. who WAS designated by Surrogate
Fowler TO appraise the estate of Colonel
Iobn Jacob Astor. held yesterday the first
hearing i'm the proceeding, when plans
were decided upon for the work of hp-
pralsing the great estate. John quinn
spoci1l attorney I'm the matter for the
state Controller suggested tnat In order
to facilitate the work and save money
and confusion there be one set of ap-
praisers for whose work the state ana the
Astor estate pay IA equal proportions
This plan was favorably acted upon.
As told I'm The Tribune on Thursday,
the appraisors for the real estate VIII BE-
Robert =. Bowling, president Of the City
Investment Company, G. W. Eckert and
Clarence ]. Ramsay. Edward g Holstou
Will appraise the art objects belonging 10
the estate, which are at the Astor home.
at No. so Fifth avenue, and in the coun-
try house at Rhinobeck. y. Y. Benjamin
II. uorts viii look after the values OF
the furniture and antiques and Hiram NJ
Knapp viii appralse the carpets and rlgs.
Mr. Quinn said that because OF the large
amount of real estate left by Colonel
Astor # would be inadyisable TO have the
estate and the state have separate ap-
pralsers, as they might not agree on
values, and then It would be necessary TO
have third appraisal. which would be
an additional expense and loss of time.
The attorney for the state Controller
therefore took up with Lewis Cass Led
yard. ir. OF counsel for the estate. the
subject Of a Joint appraisal, aud a tenta-
tive ARRANGEMENT has been made to that
end. which must have the approval of Mr..
Coggey, the transfer tax appraiser who
has the work i'm charge.

A Musical
Comedy at
the Grand

The chorus girls of "A Modern
Eve" the successful Berlin operetta,
coming to the Grand opera house Sat
urday January A, have gone in for
art-real sketching in black and
white. They are learning to draw and
would rather try their hands at car
toon than a new dance step,
One of the songs of ""A Modern
Eve"-a sentimental ballad called
YOU'RE such Lonesome Moon To-
night"-shows the chorus girls on the
stage as a sketching party, with moth
ing to do but sit at their easels and
pretend to draw. With the equipment
for artistic experiments at their dis
posal they began to see what they
could do with it. Now night after
night they sketch away while the
prima donna is singing her song, ana
the stage manager has a hard time
choking the giggles when some one
outlines a successful caricature. OF
course none of the sketches are Wis
ible to the audience, but the girls get
good deal of fun out Of them just
the same.
