JOHN JACOB AsToR.
prior to Dec. 81 last It was on this
date that the accounts in the report
were closed. The balance expended
has come from Mrs. Astor's private
purse.
She does not ask that the deficit be
refunded to her, but she leaves q way
open for such request to be made In
the future and also for the filing of a
petition asking for a larger mainte-
nance income.
Prophetic Of such a demand, Mrs.
Astor calls attention to a provision in
the will Of Colonel Astor, who met
death when the Titanic sank, by which
a $3,0O0,O0O trust fund was set aside
for their child. The interest from this
amounts to $4,000 year. Regarding
this income, she says, it is plain that
her husband intended the child to en-
Joy every comfort money could buy.
1.-The necessary expenditures since
the birth Of the infant to Dec. 81, 1914"
she reports, "for professional services
rendered the said infant by physicians
and lawyers, and for my bond as gen.
eral guardian, all paid by me, have
been upward Of $1,000.
''From an examination of the &C.
counts Of various merchants and others
with whom I have dealt, I find that
there has been expended for clothing,
supplies, toys, etc., for the use Of said
infant since the date of his birth to
Dec. 81, 1914, and paid by me, a sum
upward Of $4,000.
II have not charged the infant with
any portion Of the rent paid by me for
my summer home at Bar Harbor, Me-,
or of the cost of various trips on which
he has accompanied me; or Of the cost
Of the upkeep. Of automobiles main
ta1ned by me, from all Of which he has
received substantial benefit, and with
reasonable portion of which expense,
as I am advised by my counsel, Hon.
Henry A. Gildersleeve, the said infant
might properly be charged. r,
"From this it would seem that. the
expenditures ! have incurred for the
benefit Of my said infant are far in
excess OF the moneys received byrpe.
by the provision made In the will
Of my late husband for the creation
OF a trust fund Of .$3,OO0,O00 for the
benefit Of each child Of mine that
might survive him it clearly appears
that It was his intention to provide a
sum for the maintenance and support
OF such infant ample to secure every
thing for the comfort, welfare. and
education Of such child that. money
