SIR E. ELGAR’S WILL
NO PUBLIC BEQUESTS. [BY CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Received May 12, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 11. The will of the late Edward Elgar, the famous composer and Master of the King’s Music, was proved, to-day, with an estate valued at £13,934. I regret that owing, to the sudden collapse of everything artistic and commercial, I found it necessary to revoke a previous will,’ he states, “I leave nothing to charity, as I have given everything possible during my life time. I much regret it is necessary to cancel legacies to servants, friends and institutions.” Sir E. Elgar left his property on trust for his daughter for life, and then to his nephews and nieces.
