William Tyson, OF near Singerly, this
county, is among the many persons who
claim to be heirs of the late James Tyson
the millionaire who died in Australia
recently, leaving an estate valued at 215,-
000. 900. He has filed his claim. A meeting
of persons who claim to be heirs was held
at the Office of ex-senator Lindsay in
Towson last Saturday. Mr.. Lindsay said II
am convinced that number of the clients
represent are entitled to Il share Of the estate
of Mr.. Tyson, My clients are not only from
Maryland in numbers, but they are from
Washington. D. c.. Kentucky, Virginia, West
Virginia. Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana, Iowa
and other States. | have written to and re-
ceved answers from the different ConsuIs
representing the United States in the leading
cities of the Australian colonies and shall
this week 20 to Washington and have a con
ference with the State Department and re-
quest them to take an interest in the matter
and cable to the Consuls Of the United States
in Australia for full and detailed particulars
of Mr.. Tyson'S life and estate. In this way
we will be able to know Just who arc entitled
to interests and at the same time | will ask
our government to give notice to tho Austral-
ian colonies that the estate OF Tyson should
not be closed or settled until my clients have
a reasonable opportunity of being heard,
and filing their claims. From information
in my possession there is no question that
the estate is worth at least Sl5 900, 900 and
believe that every cent Of it belongs to citi.
Aeus of the United States. 1t may be neces-
sary for myself or some one that my clients
and myself may designate to 90 to Australia
later to fully investigate the matter, but at
this time / have no personal ambition to take
this long trip. 1t took the letters | received
from the Consuls one month and three days
to reach Towson from Melbourne
