DOUBLE COMPLICATION
IN THE R|XEN ESTATE
is THERE AN ESTATE AT
ALL?
II So, Who and Where Are the Heirs
of Il?

! The estate of Henry RiXen. the late
owner of the star lodging house, will
not be settled without serious litiga-
= ton, though so far as has appeared
/ there is no conflict among the heirs
While it is said that RiXen left several
relatives in Germany. only one isknoWn
TO exist. a sister. Mrs. Margaretha Iben
whose son, August \. Iben, lives here
and for some time before the death of
Mr. RiXen managed the Star lodging
house.
The complicating facts are these:
Some months before his death, Mr.
Rixcn gave W. X. James an option for
the purchase of the Star lodg-
ing house and the property adj
| jacent for $14.5OO. When Mr.
James got ready To take up the option
he could not locate Mr.. Rixen and he
came to believe that the latter was
hiding out until after the expiration OF
the option. Not long before the death
of Rixen Mr.. James filed suit against
him To compel the performance OF the
contract.
! 1t turned out that RiXen previous To
giving the option had executed a deed
To the property in favor of his sister,
who lives at Holstein. Germany The
deed was left in possession of Judge
Stlwell. his attorney. but il was never
recorded and il is said that no instruc-
tions were given for it's delivery. on
this ground its validity is brought into
question.
After the death % Rixen. Mr.. James
filed a petition in probate court for
the appointment of Eugene Jackson, as
administrator. Mr.. James basing his
application on the interest in the estate
that his option gave him. \ time was
set for hearing when August Iben APP
peared with an application for his own
appointment on the ground that he was
the only relative in this country and
that the deceased had left no debts
except such as had already been as
sumed by the applicant. II was also
stated in the petition that Rixen had
left no estate. this allegation probably
resting upon the validity Of the deed To
Mrs Iben, the mother of the appli-
cant
II in the end the deed should be sus-
tanned the settlement of tho estate
would be a very simple matter. but If
il should not be. another question would
be presented in case other heirs than
Mrs. Iben and her son should appear
II is evident that in executing the deed,
lit was The purpose of RiXen to make his
sister the sole beneficiary. The ques-
ton is. would that purpose be carried
out and would she become the sole
heir Of his estate if the property Of
which the estate consists should be
sold?

OPINION OF ATTORNEYS

with Mr.. Franklin. Among those who
were seen yesterday was General \. ].
Sampson. former attorney general Of

General Sampson said thar New
Mexico stood in precisely the same po-
SltIon as if the senate last SATURDAY
had approved its constitution. The
president having failed 10 disapprove il.
under the enabling act the president
could now or at any time issue his
proclamation Of statehood. II the
president had approved the Arizona
constitution, the adverse action Of the
senate would be no bar 70 its immedi-
ate admission also Notwithstanding the
adverse action Of the senate. since the
house had not acted adversely, or at
al. on the case of Arizona.

Whatever differences Of opinion may
exist regarding the status of New Mex
leo. if the president should issue a
proclamation there would be none to
question the Legality of his act in do
ing so. Whether he will issue proc
lamation or let the matter go to the
next regular session as he indicated
20 the Arizona delegation pe would do,
is an entirely different question. At
the time of his conference with the
Arizona callers there was little prOba =
bility that the senate wOslld reach the
consideration Of the case of New Mexi-
CO. The president evidently did not be-
lieve il would and nobody else appears
to have been expecting that the senate

crazy ward in the files Of his cor

The last eleven years Of that time
have been spent in Omaha where
he has been active as a lawyer
and politician. He served his time
upon the Douglas county central
committee and at various conven-
lions. At one time he was president
of the Mckinley club.
His career began in st. Louis in
April, 1876. and he received a class

leaning toward Csnnonism and be-
took himself to Danville. III, where
he began his practice of law. The
west called within a year and he
came to Omaha.
For a few years he was known
among his friends in Omaha and to
the public through the admiring
press as a confirmed and adamantine
bachelor. Only recently he tumbled

COMING OFF THE HIGH PERCH
In BiE Salaries Interests In
duHtrtRl and Financial
world.

There appears to be an epidemic OF low
ering the big salaries Of the New York sec
ton OF the industrial and financial world
these days. The steel trust showed its
symptoms last week. now comes further
evidence that the Equitable Life Assurance
society intends to pay its president $4,000
instead of $4,000 a year
The death Of Paul Morton, president OF
the equitable, has furnished the opportunity
for the reduction. 1t was learned today
that the trustees probably would insist on
a lower salary when electing his successor
on the theory that $4,000 would be sutfi
cient TO command the services OF the most
able man in the life insurance business
Those who took this view pointed to the
fact that Charles A. Peabody, president or
the Mutual Life Insurance company. was
drawing only $4,000 year
This followed the news that the salary Of
James A. Farrell, new president of the
United States steel corporatioRs would he
$4,000 a year instead Of $4,000. which had
been paid to w. e. rCorey, the retiring
president. Those who know say that S50.000
hereafter will be about the maximum pay
of the corporation officers in the United
States. >,
When Morton assumed the presidency Of
the Equitable in 1906 the salary of the
president was $4,000 a year. That amount
had been paid for years Is James w. Alex
ander and IT was supposed that Morton
would receive the same amount Because
Of the public agitation respecting the high
cost OF insurance management in the United
States and the unpleasant disclosures at
tending the Armstrong investigation in
1905, he asked that his salary be cut 20
per cent in order that he might ask the
other officers in the Equitable to accept
similar reductions.
With the possible exception of the presi-
dents OF one or two banks and trust COM
in Wall street which reimburses its presi-
dent at higher salary than $4,000 a year
One trust COMPANY in addition to paying
a $4,000 a year salary. gives the president
a handsome bonus at the year end. =
There has been an extraordinary change
in the corporation management since the
days of the insurance investigation in 1905.
when Richard A. McCurdy testifying be-
fore the Armstrong committee, told how
he had been surprised one day on hearing
that the salaries committee of the Mutual
Life had, without any suggestion from
him, raised his salary from 10000 a year
to $4,000.
When Mr.. Peabody assumed charge as
McCurdy's successor his salary was fixed
at $4,000. or one-third of the amount paid
to his predecessor Outside of New York
City a $4,000 salary, in the words of Wall
street man discussing the subject looks
as big as house" With the possible ex-
ception of one or two bank presidents in
Chicago, no bank officer in the west re-
ceives more than $4,000 a year.-Chicago

self to us, and. as likely as not, we wonder
whether the dark doings of the Sudanese
Khalifat will ever be enacted again in one
of the lesser corners of the Dark Con-
tinent.
AS a matter of fact, the word ''Mahdi"
is title. According to the Mohammedan
creed, the prophet was but the forerunner
of another prophet greater than himself,
and who would be known as the Mahdi-
literally, the Man Led by Allah" Natur-
ally considering how vague the definition
of the promised leader is, there have been
scores OF pretenders within the last few
hundred years-ambitious men who thought
that by playing on the fanatical passions
of the Arabs they would rise to power
They were, and are generally successful
for certain period, and consequently It
has been the policy of governments to put
down the unruly rebels whenever they
could.
Thus, in the Sudan, for instance, hardly
a year passes without it's Mahdi melting
the Dervishes to drive the Christians into
the sea- AS long as the rising is only local
1t can be dealt with rapidly and with
energy. Were 1t to spread there would be
an immediate conflagration.
AS it happens, there exists at the present
time In the heart of Africa a Mahdi who
is the recognized leader of 5000 900 follow
ers, called the Senoussi. The most inacces-
sible GASES of the Sahara desert form the
core of this vast empire but the Mahdi's
subjects, armed to the teeth. are scattered
throughout the greater part of North
Africa and Arabia, and are, by all accounts,
increasing rapidly in numbers.
That the Mahdi has never been seen by
an infidel goes without saying. The foot
Of the white manor of the camel which
he was riding-has never penetrated more
than few miles into the senoussi terri
tory. Few even of the faithful have seen
their chief At the prayer shrine, in which
he holds council, where he issues his orders
and is worshipped as an inspired prophet,
he is hidden behind a curtain and merely
his hand, stretched forth to be kissed Is
visible. Only on the very rarest occasions
does he draw aside the veil covering his
face, and then but for a moment-Wide
