8 e e e MELLONS LEARN| HERE OF DEATH OF THEIR UNCLE Group on Yacht Alician Shocked by News—Will Likely Not Change Plans Putting into Juneau late yester- day afternoon for supplies for the and friends -are making a hunting unw friends dre making a hunting and fishing criuse In Southeast Alaska waters, Richard King Mel- lon was met with the first news of the death, at Southampton York, of his unacle, Andrew W Mellon “Although his passing must be looked upon as natural at his age— it still has been a great and heart- deadening shock to my wife and I1,” Mr. Mellon said. “My uncle was ailing before we left the East, but not, apparently, seriously. I spoke with him just before coming to Alaska and at that time he ap- peared completely himself. His great regret must have been in passing be- fore- he could see his National Art Gallery a completed fact. The gal- lery was the one big interest to which he had devoted his time since retiring.” May Continue Cruise Mr. and Mrs. Mellon were debat- ing their future plans here last night. “We are now at a loss to know what we shall do, but believe we will continue with the original plans for our Alaska cruise. Had we heard of my uncle’s death in time, we should have flown East immediately—but, we did not learn of it till our arrival here and with the funeral set today, we could not possibly accomplish any purpose by leaving now.” Particularly shocking was the way ip which the party on the Alician learned of the senior Mellon's death. The yacht had just moored at Ju- neau 'when one of the members of the party heard two men in a car on the dock speaking of the oc- curence. He carried the news to the remainder of: the party.

Mr. Mellon and Mr. Lazear, who were together on a hiunting venture in Alaska and the Yukon just two ‘years’ ago, have planned to secure bear, deer and| goat groups ‘for the Carnegie Mu- seum on ‘their present cruise. So far on their northward criuise they have setured some deer and goat specimens amnd planned to go out for bear in the three weeks remain- ing of their cruise, When they were last north, Mr, Mellon and Mr Lazear hunted in the Kluane Lake dietriet. Mr. Mellon, who occuples the post of President of the Mellon National Bank, at Pittsburgh, declared that the death of his uncle ‘should cause no fluctuation in business or finan- cial conditfons, ‘“‘He had already completely retired,” Mr. Mellon said. Since leaving Ketchikan a w'ek 2go, the party has hunted dt var- ious points, mainly around Kup- reanof Island. Both Mr. Lazear, who is a prominent Pittsburgh man-! ufacturer, and Mr. Mellon have bag- ged deer and goats, Their original plans were for the Aliclan to leave Juneau this afternoon and head for| Admiralty Island, where the two sportsmen were to try for bear, fol- lowing the opening of the season next month, The Alician, commanded by Capt. T. E. Gjosund, is a palatial, ns-‘ foot vessel flying the Beattle Yacht Club pennant. She is owned by W. H. Jewett, Eugene, Oregon, lum- berman. She has been chartered for the cruise by R. Mellon, through Campbell Church, Jr, two other of whose yachts, thé Westward and Caroline, are also in Juneau today.
