GEORGE F. BAKER,
Third RICHEST MAN
IN U. S., SUCCUMDS
Because of Depression, Govern
ment to Lose Fortune in
Inheritance Tax
EXACT wealth NOT KNOWN
Held Stock in First National
Bank Of New York City, Many
Other Companies
EXACT wealth NOT KNOWN

New York, May 4.-R-Because
George F. Baker died during the de-
preston, the federal government and
the states in which he owned prop
erty stand to "lose" a fortune.
The amount they will collect in in
heritance taxes will be huge, but no.
where near as large as If he had
passed away during the boom period
Of 1929.
Nobody knows-probably the dean
Of the nations bankers didn't even
know himself-how large his fortune
is or was; SC 1t was impossible Mon
day to estimate the amount Of the
taxes his estate will pay.
Guesses as to the wealth of the
third richest man in the country"
range from $500, 100000 to $500, 900 900
and even higher. Since the market
value of the stocks constituting a huge
portion Of this has Shrunk, the
amount of the inheritance tax will be
correspondingly smaller. The federal
government and New York state, in
which Mr.. Baker held the large part
of his fortune, take the fair market
value on the day Of death in levying
taxes on securities.
At the height of the bull market MI.
Bakers $4,000 shares in the First
National bank reached a paper valua-
ton Of $3.50. 000, 1000. They are quoted
around SIS ,O00, 900 now. That shrink
age alone means a loss to New York
state of sQmething over SIG, 900 1000.
The federal government gets Us
share of the estate after the states
have taken theirs. It is impossible,
tax experts said, to estimate the
amount the United States might COL
lect.
Stocks Have Fluctuated
Like the First National stock, MI.
Bakers $1,000 shares of U. s. Steel
common, his 5000 shares of A. T. &
+. and the $48, 0OO. 900 in railroad
stocks credited last winter to him and
his son, George F. Baker. Jr., have
fluctuated. Steel, for instance, sold
around 261 at one time in 1929. Last
Saturday it closed at 115A.
Mr.. Bakers death was apparent In
Wall Street Monday only in the flags
at half staff on prominent banking
houses. There was no other evidence,
even at MI. Bakers First National
bank, where business was being trans
acted as usual.
While accommodating over a stretch
of sixty ode years a fortune ~variously
estimated at from 500, 000, 1000 to
$500, 000, 900, and which was said to
have ranked him third among the
wealthy men of the country, Baker
