Harkness dled on May 1 last he was | possessed of one of the largest for- tunes in America. In 1888 he received | from his father, Stephen V. Harkness, one of the early associates of John | D.Rockefeller, Standard Oil stocks worth $1,500,000. In less than thirty years this wealth, what with apprecia- tion of the oil shares and wise in- vestment, increased to approximately | $60,000,000. John D. Rockefeller's fortune ha been estimated at a billlon dollar: the late Colonel John Jacob Astor left | $85,311,2 J. P. Morgan died $78,149,024; Anthony N. Brady had §77,042,443; John S. Kennedy's estate was appraised at $67,187,735 and the E. H. Harriman fortune amounted to $68,000,00. % Appraiser John J. Lyon's transfer tax report, flled yesterday by Deputy Controller William Beardman, fixes the estate of Mr. Harkness at $49,- 566,895, but this does not include his country place in Madison, N. J., esti- mated at several hundred thousands of dollars, nor the Harkness birth- place and other property in Willough- by, Ohio. Besides, the estate is ap- praised as of date of Mr. Harkness' death, and since then, it s estimated, it has increased by nearly $15,000,000, Standard Oil shares alone disclosing an enhanced value of nearly $8,000,- 000, Mr. Harkness was no great land- owner, as was the late Colonel Astor. Most of his fortune was in holding of stocks and bonds, and In the wealth thus represented few rich men of this country surpassed him. His holdings of this sort amounted to $46.502,776 at his death. Only Anthony N. Brady and John 8. Kennedy held stocks of greater value. Mr. Brady had $67,- 307,391 in securities and Mr. Kenne- day’s estate consisted of almost noth- ing else, chief among his stocks and bonds being raflroad securities. Of the Harkness fortune New York state will recetve only $1,809,962 in transfer tax. Had Mr. Harkness dled two weeks later this amount would have been increased by $361,442. with On last May 15 the present transfer | tax laws was passed at the instance of State Controller Travis and, under it, the state would have taken an add- ed tax on the bequest to Edward S. Harkness, Mr. Harkness’ brother, whom he made his chief beneflciary. To him Mr. Harkness left $25,625,000 in Standard Oil stocks, making Ed- ward S. Harkness the third largest holder of Standard Oil shares. He residuary estate so that Edward S. | Parkness’ inheritance amounts to $36,187,971. To his wife ,Mary War- den Harkness, he left $12,151,629, comprising half +of the residuary e tate, together with the property at Fifth avenue and Fifty-fourth street, and garage at 135 West Fifty-second street, Mr. Harkness’ only realty hold- ings in the city, household effects, au- tomobiles and personal effects. Among the assets of the estate were the following: Cash, $2,322,694, most of it on deposit in the New York Trust company, the TUnited Trust company and the Farmers’ Loan | & Trust company; mortgages, $8,597; \’_\'a,r'ht Agawa, $112,500 and pew in St. Bartholomew’s church, $4,500. | OLD BATHS CLOSED. { ey Suicide Saddens Proprietor Orders Doors Shut, ‘Who | Globe Clothing | Hous You will be surprised to find how many things suitable for | Christmas Giving | K ) hd ) are to be had in this store. i { Gloves, Hosiery, Shirts, Neck-- ’ Bath wear, Handkerchiefs, Robes, House Coats, Umbrel- ] | saind to him: las, Slippers, Suit Cases, Trav- § eling Bags, Rubber Boots.
