STATE TO INHERIT
THE MAUCH ESTATE
No Lopal Heiri Are Found and Two
Thousand Dollars Goes to Pub
lic Treasury.
TAILOR'S SAVINGS OF LIFETIME
For the first time in its history the
state of Nebraska has become the
heir of an Omaha man. "It will In
herit the $2,000 estate of the late
Karl Mauch, as the result of a de
cision by County Judge Crawford
that the dead man left no legal heirs.
Mauch died without leaYlng a will.
The property which Mauch left rep
resents the savinM 0f a long- life
time of toll aa a tailoi. He had
neither children nor wife and lived
a lonely life. He was averse to writ
ing: a will.
"Why should I care what becomes oil
my money after I am dead," he answered
when urged to make some disposition of
his property.
After Mauch's death aeveral cousins liv
ing In Germany and In Oskalooaa. la..
made application to Inherit the estate.
The case came up for hearing In county
court and the evidence adduced before
Judge Crawford proved that they were
couatna only by marriage through their
relationship to the late Mrs. Mary Mauoh
uernard or Germany.
"Relationship by marrias-e la not ,,r.
flclent to allow persona to Inherit
estates." said Judge Crawford. "In Ger
many the rule la different, a child becom
ing the heir of a atcp-parent or othar
relative by marriage."
Many cases In which helra to
have been apparently lacking at the time
or me death of the deceased come to the
attention of the local probata court iinr-
taf Its history, but never before has there
oeen an Instance where the court found
that the dead person had no legal helra.
In every other case helra have come for
ward and established their relationship.

Jimmy Johnson, manager of George Rodel, the Boer, disputes the
claim of Kred McKay to the high diving championship, and declares
George has beaten and probably will beat the world's mark many Umes
more.
Mr. Rodel, by the way. Is a trader
in wallops. He has fought many
times in this vicinity, and has done
the diving act upon many occasions.
Mr. Rodel crossed bats with Gun
boat Smith one night uptown, and
In the last three rounds took five
dives that came near being fatal to
his rep and Jimmy Johnson's future
Activities as a manager.
Jimmy had to keep the Boer on hit
feet for the limit or blow two other
matches he had made for his man.
He worried himself sick for five min
utes, and then remembered that
George waa stuck on a Jane In Lon
don, antTfaked a cablegram from her
to George.
The next time Rodel went down
Jimmy yelled: - "I gotta cablegram
from Jane." '
Rodel pricked up his ears at the
count of seven and got up again.
He was no sooner set before he
wag dropped once more.
"It you don't geC up I'll tear this cablegram up," yelled Johnson, wav
ing the thing In the air. '
George got up again. He begged between rounds to see the cable,
hut James was obdurate. Jimmy told him If he stayed the ten he would
rtad it to him.
Rodel took an awful walloping from Smith and barely stayed the
limit. When he got to hla corner Jimmy slapped him on the back and
banded him the cable from London. George hastily gave it the once over,
then looked up at Johnson with his one open glim and remarked:
"Aw, this ain't from Jane; it's a fake. Why it ain't even her hand-writlnV
elected preatdent. Fowler general coun
sel and Monnett waa named a member of
the committee on resolutions. Buchanan
resigned July 11 and waa succeeded by
Jacob C. Taylor, a leading labor union
official of New Jersey.
Von Rintelln, according to United States
secret service agents, finally discovered
that he was pouring out hla money with
out result except to enrich the men he
employed ae his agenta. Soma . strikes
were called, but they failed to have' any
Important effect upon the exportation of
munitions. The German agent decided
to leave the country.
He first endeavored, by the aid of An
drew D. Meloy, an American mining pro
moter, to secure an American pas port.
Falling In thla he aalled under a Swiss
pa a port, ualng the name of Edward V.
Gasche. Meloy waa subsequently ar
rested and turned state's evidence.
When Von Rlntelen was taken prisoner
by the Brlt'sh a mass of documents was
alao seised and turned over to the Amer
ican authorities. Acting on the Informa
tion obtained from these papers an In
vestigation was started Into the activ
ities of the peace council.
The- grand Jury first returned Indict
ments against Von Rintelln and Meloy
in the passport case. A sealed Indictment,
the contents of which have never been
known, waa next handed down. The in
dictments today are the final results of
the grand Jury work which haa lasted
four months.
Assistant United Statea Attorney Bar-
faty, who conducted the proceedings be
fore the grand Jury, declared today that
while the Jurora had been discharged.
the lnveatgatlon was by no means ended
and would In all probability be taken up
by subsequent grand Juries.

Daniels Suggests
Naval Academy on
the Pacific Coast
WASHINGTON. Dec. 28.-Secretary
Daniels said todav that k- i
creased building program for the navy
ultimately made necessary a second naval
academy, the logical place for the new
Institution would be on the Pacific coast.
Senator Phelan and Representative
Kent of California are preparing bills to
that end and have conferred with Sec
retary Daniels, but the question of site
naa not been discussed.
Secretary Daniels has recommended to
congress an Increase of the undergradu
ate body at Annapolis to Its full ca
pacity 1,200 mldahlpmenand that num
ber will care for the first body of Junior
officers for the fleet Increase. Further
Increases, however, will require additional
facilities and the secretary said today bt)
thought better results would be aocom
pllshed in an additional academy.
