Distributed Without Will.
The $4,000 or $4,000 that was pro-
vided by Mrs. Collins represents the
personal property Of her estate. Fol
lowing the death Of her husband,
Thomas G. Collins. who died on Sept.
10, 1913, Mrs. Collins divided the real
property Of the estate, which was
large, among her children and re-
tanned only a life interest which accum-
| ulated the personal property that is
| being distributed.
It was the agreement OF the child
rem Of Mrs. Collins that she was to
dispose of this personal property for
the purpose indicated without the for
mulaty of a will or administration Of
the estate. The eldest son, Eugent I.
Collins. Of ST. Edwards, Neb., was des
ignated by Mrs. Collins, with the con-
sent Of the children, to have charge
Of the personal property and distrib-
ute il, according to his mothers
wishes, which We're indicated by mem
oranda she left. Mr.. Collins has com
pleted the distribution Of the money
except to the Friends church and the
Deeconess hospital which must wait
| for a time until some bills are paid
! and the estate is settled to determine
| the balance to be divided between the
| two.
| Plan Uses for Money.
| Neither the Y. NJ. c. A nor the Y. w.
| c. A. has yet determined to what uses
| the income from the gift will be put
Both associations will invest the prin-
cipal in some safe security.
The y. VI. c. A is considering de-
voting the income for community work
! for bows, not only boys Of the assoCia
| tin but other bows as well. The as
ISOLATION hopes that this will be the
| first of a series Of endowment be
quests by which the association can
establish a large sum, the income from
which can be devoted to association
work.
The 7. w. g. A. Is considering es-
tablishing a memorial fund out OF the
| income for emergency work among
girls to be devoted especially to aid
ing girls who are working for small
wages.
The fund would provide money to
assist in cases OF sickness or when
! other emergencies arose that would re-
iutiire that they he given assistance.
| The Y. w. G. a. already has two small
endowment funds; one Of $500. left by
Mrs. Josephine Conaway and 800 left
by Mrs. Mary Bullock. This money
has been invested in liberty bonds.
