Miss Rey Funk, of Kemper
Hall Gets $4,000 Legacy
at Christmas Time.
TO INHERIT LARGE ESTATE

Through the death of her grand
father, Duncan M. Funk of Blooming
ton, Ill, Miss Rey Funk, fourteen
years of age, and one Of the best
known Of the younger Kemper Hall
girls, has become one of the principal
heirs to a vast estate. Mr.. Funk was
one Of the wealthiest men in Central
illinois and for a. generation was
prominent in commercial and political
activities. The Kemper Hall girl will
receive as her share of the estate a
little over $4,000. At the present
time Miss Funk is not in Kenosha,
she having gone to Chicago to spend
the Christmas vacation with her rela-
tives. She will, however, resume her
work at the Kenosha school immedi-
ately after the holidays and her gift
of thousands of dollars will not inter
fere in any way with her school plans.
Miss Funk is the daughter Of Mrs,
Antoinette Funk, 1899 Rush street,
Chicago, She will inherit a share in
her grandfather estate to the exclu-
sion of her mother and half sister,
Anna Virginia Watrous of Denver.
| The death of Mr.. Funk recalls the
marriage Of Mrs. Antoinette Watrous
of Chicago to Lincoln B. Funk in
Bloomington seventeen years ago.
Mrs. Watrous was widow and after
her marriage studied law in the same
class with her husband. The marriage
was not q happy one and the couple
soon separated, Mrs. Funk going to
Chicago and engaged in the practice
of law. She has tried several noted
cases.
| Lincoln Funk remained in Bloom
ington and Mrs. Funk was given the
custody of their daughter, Fey Funk,
Duean M. Funk died several days
ago leaving an estate estimated to be
worth 100000 First dispatches an
nouneed that Mrs. Antoinette Funk
and Mrs. Anna Virginia Watrous,
daughter by her first marriage, were
among the principal legatees. At the
Office of Mrs. Funk in Chicago, today
it was stated that this report was in
correct and that Mrs. Funk and her
eldest daughter did not expect to share
in the estate, but that Rey Funk, a
favorite grandchild of Duncan NJ.
Funk, would receive approximately
one-ffth of the estate.
Lincoln B. Funk and his only sister,
Mrs. Belle Rawlins of Bloomington,
are said to be the principal bene-
fciaries. The viii was to have been
probated today.

An official bulletin, issued in re.
Spouse to many inquiries-very ma
tural Just now, in view of the treaty
auestion-states that in the fiscal year
1911 we exported to Russia about
$25 100000 worth of goods, as against
an import total from that empire of
100000.
These figures differ materially from
the Russian figures, which are admitted
to be more accurate. According to
Russia, we now sell her $30,O00,000
worth of goods annually and buy from
her about $17,oOO,oO0} worth of goods.
The fact that goods are frequently
consigned to middelmen in England
or Germany who forward them to
Russia accounts for the discrepancies
in the figures.
Our trade with Russia is, at any rate,
growing one. It is not negligible as
a factor in the friendly solution of the
passport problem, although higher
considerations must and will govern
the negotiations looking to new and
satisfactory treaty of residence and
travel Herald.

10 SPREAD OIL ON STATE ROADS
Cost to be Over 100000.

BY August Is Maryland will be a
justices state. That il, every state
improved road, altogether over 300
miles, will be dustless.
The State Roads Commission has
arranged to have oil spread on every
mile Of the public roads which the
state has improved. The work will
be completed by the middle of August.
The total cost will be in excess Of
$4,000. The commission is giving
roads the Oil coating not only to add
to the comfort and convenience of
travellers, but also to preserve the
rOadbeds. The fact has been demon
strated that oil prevents disintegra-
ton of the surface of roads and adds
to their prominence by preventing
the scattering of dust by the winds.
The State Roads Commission con-
fronts difficult proposition i'm carry
ing out the provisions of the act
which appropriates $4,000 for the
building of road between Perryville
and Elkton. The act provided for
the construction of a road Is feet
wide and the elimination Of all grades.
The distance is ten miles. The ap-
preparation is considered by the com
mission to be wholly inadequate for
the work as outlined by the 1egisla-
ture. In fact, the insuficiency of the
appropriation has been demonstrated
by the survey Chairman Weller, of
the State Roads Commission, will
shortly visit Elkton and will lay be-
fore the citizens of Cecil county a
proposition by which he believes the
difficulties of the situation may be
met.
The projected road is designed to
be part of an important link of a
system of smooth roads to connect
Baltimore and Philadelphia.-Balti
