SEVERAL FIFTY MILLION
WERE LEFT BY CARNEGIE
Long Will Drawn by Himself Su-
perseded by Shorter, Work
of Elihu Root.

NEW YORK, August 21.-Although
Andrew Carnegie. steel magnate and
philanthropist, declared during his
lifetime that he expected to give away
his huge fortune and "die a pauper."
his estate to be disposed of by will.

1t was learned from an authoritative
source here last night.
Publication of story to the effect
that Mr.. Carnegie had given away all
about $50,000,00O, brought the state-
ment that the estate was much larger.

approximately $500 words. drawn by
Mr.. Carnegie himself. and which was
generally believed to be his last WILL
had been superseded by q briefer docu-
ment Of 2,000 words, drawn by Elihu
Root.
The decision of Mr.. Carnegie to re-
had expended much time and thought,
and which bequeathed a large part Of
his estate to his daughter Margaret. was
said to have resulted from her mar
riage to Ensign Roswell Miller sew
eral months ago. Mr.. Carnegie settled
a large dot on his daughter at the
time of her wedding, and for this rea-
son is said to have found it necessary
to alter the provisions of the will.
The Home Trust Company of New
Jersey. which was organized by Mr..
Carnegie in 1901 for the purpose of
a fund set aside by him
for nearly 500 persons, to whose indi-
vidual welfare he had contributed,
will act as executor Of the will.

FARMERS DAY
At The BAY
The Biggest Day Ever known at
Public Landing. Crowd
Estimated 5000

Farmers Day. or big Thursday"
was observed at Public Landing
Thursday. Each succeeding season
there is an increased attendance, but
the crowd this year is said tVsbe the
largest ever known in the history of
this popular resort. This. too. des-
pitc the soaking rain that fell the
night before, rendering parts of the
dirt road almost impossible.
The procession, which usually starts
from Mt. Olive VI. p. Church, near
Colbournc, the night before, was inter-
rupted by the rain which dispersed a
great part of the crowd at the Mt.
Olive Festival. Usually teams and
vehicles pass through Snow Hill all
night, but this year scarcely a vehi-
Gle of any kind went through the town
until early Thursday morning.
All day long there was an endless
procession to Public Landing, and the
grounds were soon in congested
cOnultlon.
Vehicles and automobiles lined the
roadside all the way from Spence to
Public Landing. and hundreds Of per-
sons were obliged 10 walk a consid-
able distance before reaching the bay.
A number of boats were there from
points below Stockton. Franklin City,
and Chincotcaguc.
The crowd is variously estimated all
the way from 5000 to 5000 people.
the smaller figure probably being
nearer the actual number there.
II was good natured crowd, and
everybody seemed to enjoy the outing,
despite the muddy condition of the
road. and other dScomforts of the
trip.

NATIONS DRASTIC LAWS

The United States Government is
not without drastic laws TO deal with
the food protitcerS. The Lever act,
under which the food and fuel adj
ministration existed during the war,
still is on the statue books and re-
mains operative until formal promul

peace treaty is ratified the war pow
crS conferred upon the President by
the Lever act may be continued in
the prosecution and punishment of
violatorS.
Although the law cXcmptS the pro
ducer and the retailers from the sys-
TEN of government licensing set up,
it contains many rigorous provisions
for dealing with conspiracies to ma
nipulatc the transportation and stor-
age of foodstufrs or the boarding of
foods.
The license system devised gives
the government complete control of
the handlers of foodstuifs from the
farms to the retail stores. When.
ever exercised by the food admins
traton during the war. the provisions
of the law were found adequate TO
deal with protitccrs, and little actual
proftcering in foodstufr+ went on
where government officials displayed
energy. While the Lever law does
not give the government power to
