Mellon Estate Is Left To Charity The will of Andrew W. Mellon, who died Aug. 26. was filed at Pittsburgh last week. Nearly all of his estate, estimated at between $100,000,000 and $200,000,000, went to the A. W. Mel lon Educational and Charitable Trust. He left nothing to his children but household effects, because he had transferred the bulk of his fortune to them before his death. Thus his son Paul Mellon and his daughter, Mrsk David K. Estes Bruce, were already in possession of the enormous Mellon holdings in banks, insurance compa nies, railroads, utilities and the Aluminum Company of America. It had been said that the transfers before Mr. Motion's death were moti vated by a desire to avoid inheritance taxes. The will published last week gave this explanation; "1 have followed a precedent set by my father, who desired to impose responsibility on his children as fast ; as he thought they wi re prepared to . assume it. It has been a satisfaction to me that during my lifetime 1 could ; see how well my children could maiw i age such affairs."
