HEIRS OF $40,000,o00
ESTATETO GETLITTLE
Property of Mrs. Edith Rockefeller
Mccormick Shrinks to Small
Value.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 28.-The S40.-
100000 estate which once made
Edith Rockefeller Mccormick the
worlds richest woman was disclosed to-
night to have shrunk to such an extent
that her heirs have scant hope for any
return from their shares.
Only a considerable increase in real
estate values would place the late social
dictatress' properties on a profit-making
basis, said Edward A. Dato. one of the
trustees of the Edith Rockefeller Nc
Cormick trust.
There is a S500,000 mortgage demand
ing large interest payments on the huge
turreted Lake Shore Drive mansion
from where Mrs. Mccormick swayed
Chicago society, Dato said, and no rent
ers for it.
Other properties likewise provide no
income, he said. but continue to require
thousands of dollars for interest and tax
payments.
At the time of her death last August
from cancer. Mrs. Mccormick owned
about $1,032,OO0 in personal property,
including famous collection of Jewels.
All of it went to settle claims against
the estate, Dato said.

REALTORS OFFER
LEG|SLATNEPLAN
Three Major Proposals Are
Made on R. F. c., Banks
and Bankruptcy.

Three major legislative proposals,
concerning the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, banks and the Federal
bankruptcy and debt adjustment laws,
we're recommended to Congress by the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards in the closing session of the
annual business meeting of the body
here yesterday.
The convention delegates and off,
cials also urged that President-elect
Roosevelt, in his expected call for a
Federal home loan bank act so the new
Congress may consider possible pro-
posals for broadening the scope Of the
act.
The realtor body went on record in
favor of the entire separation Of Sc
curity affiliates and investment corpo-
rations of various kinds from the bank
ing institutions of the country, in act
ing on resolution pertaining to the
Glass banking bill Leaders of the Or
ganization held the combination of
such institutions with the banks was
not in the interest of sound finance or
the public welfare.
Urges Mortgage Loans.
The association recommended that
the Reconstruction Corporation be au-
thorized by Congress to make loans
on and to purchase drst mortgages.
It was proposed that such additional
service by the r. F. c. be permitted
subject to appropriate conditions and
safeguards, such mortgages to be, or
to be extended. for a term of from 5
to Is years. The R. F. c. also would
be empowered to require as condition
OF such loans or purchases that there
be reduction in the rate of interest
on such mortgages of not less than
one-third of that heretofore prevail
ing on the mortgages. This provision
was designed ito adjust the rate to
present prevailing values and earning
capacities, and so as to insure relief
and interest rate adjustment will be
passed on to the mortgagor."
Asks Law Amendment.
The association asked amendment of
the bankruptcy laws and an inclusion
in the proposed alternative measures
OF a provision whereby tenants on
leases may secure complete release from
further liability under fair conditions.
In the same resolution, the group
urged that obligations arising under
executory contracts and leases be made
provable In bankruptcy proceeding, to
the end that the landlord would share
in the general assets of the bankrupt
or debtor, and that the debtor may be
relieved from further obligation.

BALANCED BUDGET
President of U. S. Chamber
of Commerce Confers With
Appropriations Chairmen.

The holding of Federal appropris-
tions to balance with expected reve-
nues for the next fiscal year was urged
yesterday upon Senator Frederick Hale
Of New Hampshire and Representative
Joseph w. Byrns of Tennessee, chair
men, respectively. of the Senate and
House Appropriations Committees, b.
officials of the Chamber of Commerce
OF the United States, headed by its
president. Henry I. Hartman.
This delegation conferred at the
Capitol with the two chairmen and
other members of the Appropriations
Committees. Accompanying Mr. Harri-
man were Matthew S. Sloan of New
York. vice president OF the chamber.
and former Gov. Redfield Proctor of
Vermont, a director.
Receives Many Demands.
President Hartman told the commit
tee chairmen that demands reaching
the national chamber from the business
interests of the country for balancing
the 1884 budget by reducing Govern
ment expenses are becoming decidedly
insistent. He explained that industrial
and commercial leaders believe that
such legislative action at this session
Of Congress is essential to the restora-
ton of confidence and to business re-
covery.
Convincing evidence of the intention
OF Congress to cut Government costs,
Mr.. Hartman said. would give the
stimulant that industry and commerce
need at the present time for start on
the upgrade. Such action would trans
late itself into more definite and
prompter relief of the unemployment
situation than is possible through loans
or direct grants from the Federal
Treasury.
Secs Buying Accelerated.
ut is my deliberate judgment" said
Mr.. Hartman, that If Congress will
give evident assurance that the Ma
tion's financial house will be put in
order, the people will respond at once
with forward commitment of their in
come, their savings and their credit.
This would accelerate buying. turn the
wheels Of industry at quicker rate and
greatly relieve the unemployment stu
alton.
organized business, through the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, has directed the attention of all
members of Congress to the items OF
reduction which would make possible
retrenchment of $500, ,000, 600 in the ex-
penditures for 1884 as compared with
the current year. We realize that cut
ting Government expenses may require
courage, but the country demands it.
If Congress develops the will to make
retrenchments in this amount. we are
confident it can find the way"
