The theories on which pending leg

Profits made by Armour & Co.. Mr..
Armour declared, were negligible inso-

"On our total volume Of business"
he said, ":hey represent return of less

CARNEGIE FAILED TO GIVE
AWAY ALL OF HIS FORTUNE
viii Soon to Be Filed for Probate Will
Dispose Of Several Times
Fifty Thousand Dollars"

New York. Aug. 21.-Although An.
drew Carnegie, steel magnate and
philanthropist declared during his life
time that he expected to give away
his huge fortune and "die pauper,"
his estate to be disposed of by a will
which will be filed for probate next
week was several times $4,000" it
was learned from an authoritative
source here last night.
Publication of "A story to the effect
that Mr.. Carnegie had given away
all of his estate with the exception
of about $4,000 brought the statement
that the estate was larger.
1t was stated that will Of approx
mately 1880 words, drawn by Mr.. Car
negie himself, and which was generally
believed to be his last will, had been
superseded by briefer document Of
1900 words drawn by Elihu Root.
The decision of Mr.. Carnegie to re-
woke the original will on which he 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
raige to Ensign Roswell Miller several
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
administering a fund set aside by him
for nearly 500 persons to whose in
dividnal welfare he had contributed,
will act as executor of the will.
