is said, would mean the flooding of

The reports of the weather bureau

loaded baggage, unloaded sand. clay

office employees handled shevels.

%SSSySSSySSSs
New York, April .2.-Estimates OF
the fortune left by ]. P. Morgan, as
made in the financial district, range
from 100000 to saOO,O0O.O0O. this
sum including his art collections.
It is understood that the f1nancier's
will is of comparatively recent date,
but no intimation has been made as
to when it will be given to the public.
Those who shared Mr.. Morgan's close
friendship predict that there will be
large charitable and public bequests,
although it is conceded that his son,
]. P. Morgan, Jr., will doubtless re.
ceive the bulk of the fortune.
Mr.. Morgan's realty holdings were
comparatively small, and by far the
greater part of the estate, it is under
stood, will be found to be made up OF
"gilt-edged" securities.
