VALUE OF MoReANs NAME.
Great Difficulty To Appraise Good viii
OF Financier.

New York.-Thomas e. Rush. coun-
sci for the state comptroller in mat
ters of inheritance taxes, declared
that one of the most difficult features
in connection with the appraisal of
the j. P. Morgan estate is to fix even
an approximate value upon the "good
will' that was represented by the
great financier's prestige throughout
the financial and business world The
only similar instance with which the
state comptroller's Office has had to
deal with determining the value of the
late Joseph Pulitzer to his publica.
tions. In that instance Melville Z.
Stone estimated Mr. Pulitzer's value
to his publications at 100000 a year,
while another expert, Arthur Bris-
bane, declared it to be between $780,
900 and 100000 a year. Mr.. Rush
said that in some big transactions,
where the name of Mr.. Morgan stood
alone, the stilling value of his judg.
ment was worth more even than 10c
per cent, as it often exceeded the
intrinsic value of the produce upon
which a small concern was based.
Where the Morgan name was linked
with other of prominence in the finan.
cial world-such as George F. Baker
and Henry B. Dayison-its value was
not so great

London.-King Nicholas. OF Mon
tenegro, having placed the future of
Scutari in the hands of the European
powers, the settlement of the Alban-
ian trouble now depends upon whether
Essad Pasha and Djavid Pasha will
obey the orders sent by the Sublime
Porte to withdraw their armies to the
Turkish empire. 1t is believed that as
Montenegro has abandoned Scutari,
Essad Pasha will recognize the futility
of his aspirations to the kingship Of
Albania, in the face of the threatened
Austro-Italian expedition to expel him.
AT the close of the ambassadors
conference an official communication
was issued reading as follows;
"The fact that the King of Monte
negro has placed the fate of Scutari
in the hands of the powers is mat
ter of great satisfaction. The govern
ment of the powers will now consider
what arrangements shall be made in
the immediate future in regard to the
town"
The telegram from King Nicholas to
Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretary, announcing that he had
surrendered, was as follows:
my dignity and that of my people
do not allow me to submit to isolated
orders. l, therefore, place the destiny
of Scutari in the hands of the great
