MILLIONS OF A. A. COHEN
Ore of the Sons Assigns, Owing Over
Three Hundred Thousand
Assets Said to Be Nominai-Famly Gold

OAKLAND. March 31.-A sensation has
been caused in social and business circles
by the petition in Insolvency which has
been filed by Edgar A. Cohen, whose
liabilities aggregate $3.50, 900 and who de-
clares he has no assets.
Cohen is son OF the late A. A. Cohen,
who was attorney for the Southern Pacific
company and who, dying a multimillion-
aire left his entire estate to his widow.
The property has been kept practically
intact, although Mrs. Cohen provided
well for all her children and gave each a
liberal financial start. Edgar was a men,

Beck & Co., now in liquidation.

creditors in the east, Europe and the
orient, besides a long list in California.

SOME WELCOME SHOWERS
A Needed Rainfall Visits Drought.
Stricken Nebraska
Prospects Are Much Brighter - While the
Rain Was Not Absolutely Needed 1t
Will Prove Beneficial

OMAHA, March 31.-Saturday night
Sunday and tonight rain or snow fell in
nearly every county in Eastern and North
ern Nebraska. ~ few spots in the central
and western part of the state have not re-
ported, but it is known that the moisture
was distributed generally and almost gen.
erously throughout the thickly settled
portion of the state. More timely rain
never came, for the greatest anxiety was
felt in reference to the prospects for the
&C ming crop in Nebraska, and the lack of
rain had given rise to apprehensions that
already the conditions in the state were
crop was very dubious.
In order that the exact situation mi ght
be known the Bee has secured reports of
the present condition throughout the
state. Reports have been received from
nearly every county in the state, which
show that as vet there is no cause for the
alarm that has been felt. that, in fact,
the prospects are generally of the best.
In spite OF the lack of rain, the reports
indicate that in almost every section OF
Nebraska the soil is moist and in good
condition for working and seed. There
are few exceptions to this general rule,
but not enough to make the outlook at
all dubious. 1t is true there is not q
great lack OF moisture, but the reports in
dicate that the ground is too dry for
seeding, and that with the rain that
came last night and what will follow in
April and May, the crops will be in ex-
cellent condition.
The acreage is reported to be an aver
age one in the central portion of the state,
and the situation seems TO be generally
