Prophetic of sucb a demand. Mrs. Astor calls attention to a provision in the will of Colonel Axtor. who met death when the Titanic Mink, by which a f3.000.CK.iO trout fund was net axlde for their child. The Intercut from this amounts to $14O,0no a year. Itetrnrdlug this income, she pays, It Is plain that ber husband Intended the child to en Joy every comfort money could buy. "The necefsary expenditures since the birth of the infant to Dec. 31. 11114." she reports, "for professional services rendered the said infant by physicians and lawyers, and for my bond as peu eral guardian, all paid by me. have been upward of $s,(0. "From an examination of the ac counts of Tarlous incrc hunts nnd others with whom I bare dealt, I find that there has been exjiended for clothlDi?, supplies, toys, etc., for the us of said Infant slnee the date of his birth to Dec. 31, 1014, and paid by me, a sum upward of J 5.000. "1 have not charged the Infant with any portion of the rent puld by me for my summer home tit Har Hartwr. Me., or of the cost of various trips on which he has accompanied me; or of tho cost of Uie upkeep of nutomoblles main tained by me, from all of which he hns received substantial benefit, and with a reasonable portion of which expense, as I am advised by my counsel, Hon. Ilcnry A. Glldersleeve, the said Infant might properly be charged. "From this It would seem that the expenditures I have Incurred for the benefit of my said Infant are far In excess of the moneys received by me. "By the provision made in the will of my late husband for tho creation )f a trust fund of M.000,000 for the jenefk 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 could provide." Mrs. Astor then Incorporates sec tion 8 of Colonel As tor's will, In which the trust funds are crested, and con tinues: "I am Informed by the trustees of the trust created for (he benefit of said Infant John Jacob Astor. under the above quoted provision of the eighth clause of the will of my late husband, and verily believe that the annual net income from said trust mounts to the sum of $140,000."
