The Asssti OverestimatedThe moat conservative Judgment of
local financiers and real estate men isthat the assets have been largely over-stated by Mr Waggaman perhaps va-cooscloualjr some say War lasts neethe property on Sixteenthtended and the Woodtpy Tdo not it Is asserted represent attime the money value ascribed toin the list of assets
The same may be true of other realestate which figures in that list Per-sons who claim to have knowledge ofthe Waggaman art gallery and who arerecognised as pretty good Judges of thevalue of paintings and other art treas-ures do not hesitate to declare that nosuch amount as upward of MOMfScould be reattaed if the collection wereforced to a sale
Heads Gnat CartIt is agreed on all aides that only the
most careful management of the esfwill even a fair imirsiitMs ofclaims against the bankrupt Themost importance therefore attaches t tthe selection of the trustee by the cred-itors
An enormous amount of labor will beinvolved In the settlement the most del-icate questions of law and fact will haveto be decided a single mistake maymean the loss of thousands of dollars tosome and of nearly everything to othersFor this reason some of the largest cred-itors especially the banks that holdWaggamans paper strongly favor theselection not of an individual but atrust company as such trusteehonest an individual may be they saythe administration of such an estateone man involves elements of uncertain-ty which would be eliminated if it were
