BULK OF ESTATE IS PLACED IN
TRUST FOLLOWING TRADI-
TON OF FAMILY,

New York, May 7.-Counsel for the
family made public tonight the will Of
John Jacob Astor as drawn here Sep.
TENDER last, only few days after his
marriage + Miss Madelaide Talmage
Force, and approximately seven months
before he persisted with the sinking
Titanic. Vincent Astor, son, who will
come Of age within year, is made
principal beneficiary and residuary leg
ate. No hint as to the value Of the
estate was given out and by the crea-
ton of trust funds the testator has
followed as far as possible the custom
of his for years in keeping the vast
Aston real estate buildings intact. Val
nations Of the real estate run anywhere
from seventy-five to hundred andfif-
ty millions. A close friend Of the fam.
lily said tonight the smaller figure in
his opinion is nearer correct. Aside
from provisions for Vincent Astor, the
will provides for conditional bequest
of only $916,4o0. Among this but one
is of charitable nature. This is $780,
900 to St. Paul's school at Concord, N.
H. The remainder Of the legacies are
ITO relatives, friends and faithful SER
wants. Nearly all other provisions Of
the will as made public deal with trust
funds, which are three-fve millions
for the young widow, five millions for
the colonel's young daughter, child of
his former wife, Ava Willing Aston,
and three millions for the expected
child of his present widow. The latter
clause provides for "each child who
shall survive the IAstor, the other son,
William and the daughter, Ava Alice
Muriel,''

Construction by Courts of Other States.
The North Dakota primary election
law, Chapter 2lo, Session Laws, 1911,
was taken almost word for word from
the Washington statutes. Idaho has
similar law, evidently also patterned
after that Of the state of Washington.
l. is the rule that where one state
tlYes 3 statute from anothe: common
wealth it also takes the construction
placed on the statute by the courts
from whence it came.
Decisions in Other States.
Two decisions have been rendered
ty the supreme court Of the state OF
Washington and one decision has been
handed down by the supreme court of
:he state of Idaho, upon the provision
OF the primary election law regarding
balloting for first and second choice.
All three decisions hold that it is man
datory that the voters cast their bal
lots for both first and second choice.
The same construction must therefore
be placed upon the North Dakota stat
utes which were taken from Washing
ton state.
Only Vote Affected is Thrown Out.
Where a vote is thrown out and not
counted because the voter does not
cast both first and second choice ball
lots, only the vote for that Office so
affected is barred. The voter IS ballot
for other offices on the ticket where
he has complied with the provisions,
of the law is counted as usual.
How the Law Reads
The wording of the North Dakota
primary election law is almost iden-
teal with that of the Washington law,
and reads as follows:
"When there are three or more
candidates for the same Office for
United States senator or any con-
gressional or state Office, there,
shall be printed upon the ballot
at the right of the namezof each
candidate for such officesa square
in a column marked "First
Choice" and at the right of the
"First Choice" column square.
in a column marked "Second
Choice.' There shall be printed 4
above the names of the candi-
dates for such Office the following:
" 'Vote for bovh first and second
choice for this Office
emo voter shall vote for the
same candidate for both first and
second choice"
The clause "Vote for both first and
second choice for this ofice'' is in
the imperative tense and makes it man
datory for the voters to obey its pro-
visions. It is in no sence a directory
clause.
Opinion Is Requested.
The secretary of state has requested
the attorney general to give an opinion
on this provision Ct the primary election
law. The decision will be handed down
within the next few days, as son as At
torney General Miller returns from Min
neapolis. What the opinion will be is
not known, of course, but it is freely
predicted that it will hold that the
construction placed upon the statute
by the supreme court Of Washington
must be observed in North Dakota, and
that the voters of this state, where
there are three or more candidates for
United States senator or for any con-
gressional or state office, must cast
their ballots for both first and second
choice, or their vote will not be count
