ESTATES DIVIDED
LONDON, March 25
"I wish to say that I made this alteration to save my heirs as much estate duty as possible," runs the codicil of the late Lord Balfour's will, drawn up with the full approval of las family, which cancels his brother Gerald's life interest on the residue ol the Means Estate, in favor of the latler's sou, Viscount Traprain. The famous statesman directs that his trustees hand over to his brother and to his sister, Miss Alice Balfour, in person, the possession of the Whittingliame estate, and all private paper's, diaries, and correspondence, empowering them to divide them into private and political categories, and preserve or destroy them as is thought desirable. He desires las pictures and other objects of art to become family heirlooms. The Marquess of Salisbury and Viscount Cecil are among the trustees. His brother, Gerald Balfour, succeeds to the earldom.
