LONG SEARCH ENDED

WATSONvILLE, March 2. Isaac
Cohen OF Boston, Mass is in Watson
Vile on a visit TO his brother, Elias
Cohen, a merchant tailor Cohen
brought with him the cheering assur-
ance that the Cohen family, comprising.
besides the brothers mentioned, another
brother and three sisters. is unquestion-
ably entitled to a sixth share in the
fortune left by a granduncle. Nathan
Solomon, a native of Thorne. Prussia
Solomon was for a long time a resi-
dent Of Sheffield, England; later a
paWnbroker Of New York and even
tually a millionaire capitalist Of Aus
tralia. He died some years ago and
his estate remains unsettled in Eng
lands courts.
The story, as told by Elias Cohen, is
that Nathan solomon was a brother of
Cohen's grandmother. Solomon when
quite young left the family home in
Thorne, Prussia, where resided five
brothers and sisters. and settled in New
York. where he conducted a pawn
brokers' shop. When he had amassed
a fortune OF $4,000 or more he went
TO Sheffield, England. and from there
wrote to his niece, Mrs. Gertrude Cohen,
the mother Of Elias Cohen, asking her
TO send him one Of her children that he
might adopt it, The mother could not
spare any Of her children and did not
comply with the request. The uncle
thereupon became angry and ceased
corresponding.
Later be went TO Australia and added
TO his fortune until IL reached into the
millions. Then he died. and the mat
ter OF settling his estate was taken
up by the English courts. An agent
OF the crown was sent TO America TO
find the Cohen heirs. He succeeded in
locating a man named Elias Cohen, who
hailed from Thorne. Prussia A great
deal Of time was spent in looking after
his claim, but it proved to be false, and
eventually the search was dropped.
Remorse attacked the maker of the
false claim and on his dying bed he
told his sister Of the injury he had done
the real heirs. The sister made an
effort TO repair the injury, with the re-
suit that the real heirs. the Cohens of
Boston and Watsonville. six in num-
Der. are preparing TO employ an Amer
lean attorney to work in conjunction
with an English lawyer in proving their
right TO one-sixth OF the Australian
grand uncle's millions.

President Eliot spoke on the variety Of

that as head of Harvard he claimed to be

Free government is the greatest of all
experiments" continued the president, who
explained the experiment OF the constiut.
tional or limited monarchy of England and
the experiment of the cabinet government,
also an English experiment.
Then there was the experiment of the
United States, he said, that of giving
power to one man for a certain length OF
time. This is still in the experimental
stage, not having yet proved satisfactory
but day by day becoming evolutionized to
fill the needs of the country
The president then went into other forms
of executive functions such as those
adopted by France, Switzerland and Hol-
land, all outlined in the English system
but not altogether following 1t in detail.
The upper chamber in the United States

BISHOPS OBJECT TO CONTRACTS
French Prelates VIII Not ORer
to Resume NegOtia-
lions.

PARIS Feb. 2.-In an Authoritative
statement the Croix, organ Of the church,
defines the attitude of the episcopacy with
reference TO the negotiations between the
coadjutor archbishop Of Paris, Monsignor
Annette and the project OF the Seine, NJ.
de Salves, as follows:
''The bishops do not accept the contracts
which make the parish priests responsible
for important structural repairs of the
churches or the contracts containing a
clause excluding secularized members of
the dissolved orders from acting as parish
priests, claiming that to do so would be a
recognition of the law OF associations.
Further, the bishops look upon the in
clusion of a similar embargo on foreign
priests as being an insult to the formers
patriotism.
Monsignor Annette will not take the in
itiative to resume the interrupted negotia-
tions which, therefore, may be said to have
terminated until further orders

along the roadway skirting the sea there
raced hundreds of people keeping pace with
the rescue boat.
In the meantime every preparation was
being made at the harbor to take care Of
the individuals rescued. Six motor cars,
including that belonging to the prince con-
sort were drawn up in readiness to convey
the survivors to the Amerika hotel, where
a stan OF medical men, especially sum-
'moned, was waiting to give succor.
The small lifeboat was the first to reach
the harbor and Captain Jansen reported
that three women and child who had re-
fused to jump were still aboard the wreck.
He explained that the rescue had been
effected by both boats working in con-
junction. First the small boat managed to
make fast a rope to the breakwater. and
by this means the survivors were dragged
through the water to the pilot boat, which
stood a little way off. Captain Jansen
had hardly told his story when the steam
pilot boat with the rescued on board hove
in sight As IL was moored the, cheers
were succeeded by a painful hush as the
first OF the survivors was borpe' ashore on
a stretcher. The man was swathed In
blankets and made no sign of life.
= Cheer from stoIid Dutchmen.
Eventually, the eleven survivors SO mar
rowIy snatched from death were removed
to the Amerika hotel, and when the prince
consort came ashore his face was radiant
with Joy. Every Dutchman present for
feited his national reputation for stolidity
by joining in a roaring cheer. The hotel
in the meanwhile was so besieged by the
crowd anxious to catch a glimpse of the
survivors that the police had TO resort to
vigorous measures to clear the premises
and allow the doctors uninterrupted con-
troll. Several anxious relatives succeeded
in forcing an entrance to the hotel and
there were some scenes OF bitter disap-
pointment when they discovered that the
members OF their families were not among
the rescued.
