 MT. Vanderbilt death will fave no ef- feet on the Vanderbilt properties, said Mir Depew today. " William K. Wander bilt with his brothers s full consent took his position at their head two years ago., Nothing will have to be sold in the settle-
 men, of the estate. Mr. Vanderbt's life was not insured"
 The friends of the family are yet ignor- ant of the provisions of the will MT. De- pew said that William K. Vanderbilt is in charge of everything, as he is the head of the family.
 Esraue's Value Unknown A gentleman familiar with the Vanderbilt interests said today: "No one knows the exact value of Cornelius Vanderbilt's wealth. Although he kept his properties carefully itemized, he could not tell their value, the values fuctuated. Ills es- tate increased about one-third in value during the last eighteen months. l don't think tihe general public will be made fa- miliar with the items or terms of his es- tate Some time the gross value of 1t may be known, so as to comply with the law concerning inheritance tax, but don't be- lieye the estate of Cornelius Vanderbilt will be laid bare as was that of Jay Gould
 "ft is also probable that several trust | funds have been formed under the will so | that the estate may be entailed for at | least two generations. MT. Vanderbilt left | some large sums to charitable projects un- | doubtedly, and these figures may be made public I would not be surprised If spec ;o1 finn has hppn formed for the l benefit of the infant son of Cornelius Van- 1 derbilt Jr"
