CARNEGIE WILL TO
Be PROBATED SOON
Elihu Root Hopes to Have the
Document Ready Next
Week.
FAMILY PROVIDED FOR
Not Believed Testament Will
Contain Many Personal
BenefactiOns.

Though no authoritative estimate can
yet be made of the size OF Andrew Car
negie's estate, Ellhu Root, the attorney
preparlng the will for probate, said
yesterday he hoped to file It early next
week. IT is said that even Mr.. Root
does not yet know tho amount disposed
OF by the will.
It's execution will be In the hands of
the Homo Trust Company of Hoboken,
an institution which has all of the gen
eral and many special powers of a bank
and trust company, but which never has
accepted dollar of business save that Of
Mr.. Carnegie personally. In its rooms in
the building of the Hudson Trust Com
pany In Hoboken Mr. Carnegie wrote and
rewrote his will many times.
X a. Franks, president of the Home
trust Company and treasurer of the
$l25,0O0, 200 Carnegie CORPORATION. which
has handled all of Mr.. CarnegIe's large
benefactions since it was created BY
special act of the Legislature in 1912.
said yesterday he believed Mr.. Carnegie's
VIII would not contain many special pro-
visions for the members of his family or
for personal friends and retainers.
Mrs Roswell Miller, Mr.. Carnegie's
daughter Margaret, is not provided for
lin the Will, her share Of her fathers per-
sonal estate having been turned over to
her as dot when she was married last
spring. The same sort OF provision also
has been made for the hundreds of pen
sioners. old friends. employees and fellow
Scotsmen and women who were the IRON
masters .beneficlaries for years and
whose accounts hitherto have been ham
died by the Home Trust Company
Mr.. Carnegie personally allotted the
capital out of which those pensions have
been paid as they were created Nearly
all of them lapse with the life Of the
present beneficiaries and release the
funds for other purposes. All OF this,
however. is provided for in the trust
deeds and probably will not be mentioned
in the will.
The Home Trust Company was or
ganized In 1901. Mr.. Carnegie directed
that no publicity be given to the affairs
Of the institution, and II has never filed
its statements officially in this State
Publication of it's condition in the Ho-
boken paper, as required by law. reveals
that it has a capital and surplus of
s2oS,000. Mr.. Franks was the first and
is still the president. Alexander King
Ia the treasurer and George w. King is
secretary. The directors are James c.
Greenway, T. Morris Carnegie, Andrew
Carnegie I'd and Harry Whitfield.
Special legislation assed by both New
York and New Jersey enable the COM
pany to act as executor of Mr.. Car
negle's will. These laws provide that
foreign trust companies may act as
executors without bond deposits pro-
vided reciprocal privileges are accorded
In the company's home State.
Mr.. Carnegie for many years used
the rooms OF the Home Trust Company
as his offices. They look out over Pier l..
Hoboken. whence the Leviathan sailed,
and command fine sweep OF the bay,
There he made the arrangements for
many of his great and small benefactions
