financier's Property in United
Kingdom Estimated at
$6. $40.
DEATH DUTY Is PER CENT.
High Rate Brought $l26,9 $780,
600 to the Exchequer Dur
ing Year 1912.


LoNpoN. Sept. :s--The British Ex-
chequsr will collect death duties amount
ing to about sI.o5o.o0o on the property
of the late Anthony n. Brady of Albany.
y. V. who died in London in July.
Mr.. Brady's property in the United
Kingdom has been valued for probate at
s6.5'7.64O.
than 5000. 900 which has been taxed by
the British Excheauer since the begin
ming of this year.
The death duties In the United King
dom. whether the property involved be-
longs to natives or to foreigners, are pro-
gressive. and a large estate may now pay
as much as 81 per cent. On estates val
ued at from $500 to $4,000. | per cent II
collected . per cent between $1,000 and
$4,000: 3 per cent. between $4,000 and
$4,000; l2 per cent between $?.OOO.ooo
and $4,000. 900 to - per cent. on estates
Of 5000. 900. This does not include leg
acy and succession duties which vary In
percentage.
The high rate OF death duties has been
the subject OF much criticism. Despite the
fact that duties paid during the past six
years have increased almost so per cent.
the number Of estates has increased only
slightly, while the capital value has re-
mained almost stationary. The yield from
this tax has doubled in sixteen years,
s12S.aS0. 900 having been paid into the
Exchequ~ during the year 1871. as the
revenue from this tax.
This law has been found so oppres-
sive in England that attempts have
been made to render II less burden
some by rich men assigning their estates
or large part thereof to their heirs be-
fore death. The English law pro-
>ides In case of such gifts for levy
OF only per cent instead OF the
10 per cent on succession to the estate
through death. However this law seems
to be sort of trap for the unwary
4 case which aroused much comment
not long ago was that OF rich man who
fearing that his death was near. assigned
the bulk OF his estate to his sor
and paid the 5 per cent. duty. Within
three months the son died and the father
being his heir. had to pay i5 per cent
inheritance tax to resume possession OF
his property.
Among the large estates which were
subjected TO these high death duties IN
1912 were those of william Donaldson
Crutl,ias. $5.2O6. 500: Alexander William
George. Duke OF Fife. brother-in-law Of
the King. $5.OOO.OO william Graham
vivian. ore smclter and collery owner

chant. $4.75O,000; David Jardine, timbe,
merchant. S%.126.760. and nineteen Others
Of values exceeding $2,500.000.

posal Of Mr. Hartman represents the
surplus accumulated by the Union Pa

The question Of the disposal OF this
surplus has kept the markets Of the
world agog for some time Yesterday
Hartman had made up his mind and that
idea sent Union Pacinc jumping until its
rise became the feature of the market
There has been q well defined differ

own way yesterday and Union Pacific
stock gained 81 points 1t ete high over
the low on Thursday
Members Of the executive committee
were silent regarding the possibility of
an extra dividend. They were more
careful than usual not to offer any
ground for inferences. Cnanimity OF
opinion was predicated on this silence by
the financial district, and that tended to
increase the boom.
From a belief that the board OF d.
rectors Lad come to an early decision
AS to what should be done interested
persons proceeded to the belief that the
to-day. Other interested persons OF a
more conservative turn were inclined to
think that no decision had been reached
this on the ground that the full board had
