MORRIS ESTATE
SALE TOMORROW
Parcels VIII Be Disposed
OF at Auction in Vesey
Street Room.

Day by order Of Henry Lewis Morris,
executor.
/ Both because Of the wide area over
which the holdings Of the Morris estate
/ spread and the variety Of their descrip-
T tion this sale Is unusual. The offering
D. includes business buildings and apart
/ ment houses IN Manhattan, novel
subway station corner at transit cen
tire in The Bronx and also an entire

site Franz Sigel Park and in new

be sold separately. Also two frame
houses in Long Island City. in an i'm
proving neighborhood. only six blocks
distant from Queeasboro Plaza and
within one block Of a new dual system
rapid transit station. Had Mr. Morris
been granted the privilege Of studying
the city's rapid transit maps Tor the
future long before the new lines had
ever been projected. he could scarcely
have made his investments with bet
ter eye to future betterments.
The worldwide activities Of Mr.. Nor
ris were worthy Of a true American
who was descendant of that Robert
Morris who. as a Pennsylvania mer-
chant, signed the Declaration Of indie
pendence on July !, 1876. Robert Nor
ris was born in England. at Lancashire,
on January 20. 1874, and died, at the
age Of seventy-three, on May &, 1906.
Arthur r. Morris, his descendant,
was born in the City of New York and
/ became deeply interested in religious
matters. His income was derived In
part from the properties now to be dis
posed Of at absolute sale. In 1871 Mr..
Morris went as a missionary TO Japan.
7 where he lived up to the time of his
death.
By his will NJ Morris directed that
