MAKE PUBLIC THE
WILL OF COL. ASTOR
Was Drawn Last September-Estate
Valued From S75,OOO,OOO to $780,
100000

Counsel for the family made public
the will of John Jacob Astor, as drawn
in September last, only few days
after his marriage to Miss Madeline
Talmage Force, and approximately
seven months before he perished with
the sinking of the Titanic.
Vincent Astor, who will comeTAOI
Vincent Astor, son, who will come
to age within the year, is made the
principal beneficiary and residuary
legatee. No hint as to the value of
the grant is made public Valuations
of the estate run anywhere from $75,-
100000 to S15O,OOO,OO6.
Aside from provisions for Vincent
Astor, the will provides for uncondi-
tional bequests of only $276,5OO.
Among them there is but one of a
charitable nature. This is $4,000 to
st. Paul's school at Concord, n. H.
The remainder of the Iegacies are to
relatives, friends and faithful servants.
Nearly all other provisions Of the will
as made public deal with the trust
funds of which there are three: So
100000 for the young widow; $5,000,-
900 for the co1onels young daughter,
Muriel, the child of his former wife,
Ava Willing Astor, and $5,000,O0O for
the expected posthumous child of the
present widow. This latter clause pro-
vides for leach child who shall sur
vive the testator other than his son
William Vincent and his daughter Ava
Muriel."
No provision is made for the wife
who divorced him; and if the young
widow dies or marries again, the So
100000 trust fund, together with the
town house and other property left
to her, reyerts of Vincent Astor. She
receives, however, 100000 outright
further stipulation, and until
the income from the trust fund shall
become available, the trusees are di-
rected to pay her an income of 100000
a year. There was an ante-nupitial set
tlement which she accepted in lieu Of
dover rights. The amount of this has
never been made public. Rumors have
placed it at $5,O0O,000.

will secure the contract.

prepared the plans for the buildings,
is in the city, having arrived last
night, and today he and Prof. b. G..
