SEEKS BIG ESTATE
INDIANA MAN ENDEAvoRINo TO
ESTABLISH HIS CLAIM.
Believes He Is Heir to $4,000 In the
Soutii-Fati1er, He Claims, N
sisted on Posing as His
Uncle,

Oakland City. Ind.-Ed H. Baker,
owner Of -four mill in this city, is
busy unraveling mystery Of his life
which may make him the richer by
$25, 900.
Mr.. Bakers parents were residents
of Natchez, Miss. but he was born in
Vincennes, Ind, while his mother was
visiting relatives there. At the age
OF three months he was taken back to
Natchez, but his mother died on the
boat during the trip. Soon after her
death he was brought back to Vim
cennes and cared for by an aunt with
out knowing the whereabouts of his
father. None of his relatives knew
where his father was and the child
lost trace of him.
In 1901 Capt. H. l.. Baker, a busi-
ness man of Natchez, Miss, came to
Vincennes on hunt for Ed H. Baker.
He failed to find him, and after
short stay at Vincennes returned to
his southern home. A short time aft
erward he learned that Ed H. Baker
lived here, and he sent him an invi-
tation to visit Natchez, representing
that he was Mr.. Bakers uncle. The
visit was made and the uncle treat
ed him with every consideration, CIV
ing him photographs of his mother and
imparting much information concern.
ing her. He persistently adhered, how
eyed, to his statement that he was
only an uncle.
In 1905 Capt. Baker visited Ed H.
Baker In this city, and took every care
to ascertain as much of his history as
possible, and It was then that Mr..
Baker began to suspect that the
uncle" was in reality his father. Capt.
Baker died at Natchez last month,
leaving an estate valued at $4,000.
Ed H. Baker has returned from a
visit to Natchez, and while there
found much to establish the identity
OF his parents, among other things
the grave of his mother. The tomb
stone was missing from the grave, but
the Old sexton in charge said 1t was
buried in the grave. This was taken
up, and on 1t was found his mothers
name. The old man said that the late
Capt. H. L. Baker had given him or
ders to care for the grave as long as
he lived, saying that his wife was
buried there. Other old residents OF
Natchez remember a little boy who
was sent back north, and other Incl
dents that tend to establish Mr.. Bakers
claim make the case so strong that
he thinks there will be little difficulty
proving that he Is the son.
Two sisters of Mr.. Baker were found
by him, one living at Natchez and the
other in New Orleans. Suit has been
filed in the chancery court at Natchez
for division of the estate and rec
ognition Of Ed H. Baker as the son
of Capt. H. l.. Baker.

FEDERAL IRRIGATION INQUIRY

e. Dana Durand, director of the
census, is seeking the advice of all
persons possessing first-hand knowl-
edge Of the subject Of irrigation with
view to devising a schedule of in
quiries which will elicit adequate in
formation concerning the extent and
effect of that system of reclaiming
land for the purpose Of agriculture.
This census or investigation was or
dered by congress in act amending
the census law passed last February.
Under its provisions the director Is
ordered to ascertain the area of ir-
rigated lands In the arid regions Of
the country; whether such irrigation
is carried on under state or federal
laws; the prices at which irrigated
lands, including water rights, are OBJ
tainable; the character and value of
crops produced upon them; the
amount Of water used for an acre; the
situation Of the various irrigation en-
terprises, together with description

physical conditions and the amount of
capital invested therein
In taking the agricultural census,
the field work for which has just been
completed, the census office furnished
the enumerators with supplementary
schedule relating to irrigation. These
questions, however, did not develop
all the information asked by congress,
and nine different schedules are being
prepared for special agents Of the
census bureau. In connection with
these new schedules the director Is
asking the advice of government and
state officials, corporations, experts
and the special agents themselves,
who have been selected because Of
their special fitness to do the work.
