A uniform ritual | @ttt e tferferte MUSEUM BETS " AOGERS' WEALTH A Compromise Prevents Litigation in East- ern Courts. Epecial Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—All litigation with regard to the will of Jacob 8. Rogers has been settled. In commenting on this Rcbert de Forest, counsel for the Metro- politan Museum of Art, said: The effect of this scttlement will be to put the museum in a short time in possession of Rogers' residuary estate, tho value of which is more than §$5,000,000, and to enable it promptly carry out his ben: lent intentions, the execution of which might otherwise have been delayed for several years by protracted litigation. The amount pald in settlement was $250,000, { about 5 per cent of the amount involved and | not much more than a year's normal income on this amount of property. While further litigation over his will was quite possibie the chief subject of settlement was the claim made against his estate that by making the museum his residuary legatee he has viclated an agree- ment alleged to have been made between hi self and his deceased brothers survi’ children are his next of kin, y the: brothers, in default of issue, were to make mutual wills and were to leav 2 to the others or to their issues. reason to belleve that an_ agreement of th general character once existed, it is certain that if jt existed Rogers did not sup- pose it to be operative at the time he made his Wil in favor of the museum. That such an agreement might have been made at some time respecting the family interes in the Rogers omotive Works at Paterson would not have been unitkely. In any case the amount paid is unquestion- ably less than the expense and loss incldent to protracted litigation, however successful, and even if family claims have by this settlement been recognized to a greater extent than under the will (his legacies to the members of his family aggrezated $230,000 and by this settle- ment these legacies are practically doubled) the amount of Rogers’ public bequests is unques- tionably increased and the time within which the public can benefit by his bequests is ma- terially shortened. Ship Sails for the Antarctic. GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Oct. 16.—Pro- fessor Otto Nordenskjold's south pole ves- sel Antaretic sailed to-day.

The company that has obtained control of these islands will prohibit the further illegal killing of the goats and will estab- lish at least a dozen families there to take charge of the animals.
