CLAIMANTS FOR
COBbLER'S MONEY
Several Appear Since Goldberg 5
Death; May Have Family in
Poland.

Since il has been rcorted that Herman
Goldberg, found dead in his cobbler' &
shop, AIS West Second street, several days
ago, WAS the possessor of considerable
money and other wealth, it seems he had
many friends, although he was supposed
to be without any. A number Of claimants
of relationship have appeared since the
discovery of the mans body and the story
of his hoard printed, according to Coroner
Bullock.
II is reported Goldberg had wife in
Poland to whom he is said to have sent
some money. Receipts ID the mans,
effects indicate he sent money to Poland
although it is alleged bv some of the party
concerned never received the money.
Neighbors of Goldberg also have COM
planned of the mans shop being closed
and il may be necessary to have the place
thoroughly fumigated and the belongings
of Goldberg removed to some other place
for safe keeping. Settlement of Goldberg's
estate may be made by the coroner or
bv the Polish consul, it is understood, or
the matter may be taken up officially by
the Secretary Of State and the coroner,
formally authorized TO administer the
estate of Goldberg. Nothing will be done
IN the matter, however, pending further
investigation into the number of relatives
The dead man had and whether he really
had wife in Poland.
1t is now suggested that Goldberg may
have come here to make his fortune and
left his wife and family in Poland. Addi-
tional funds which increase the total to
about $500 In banks and another life
insurance policy for small amount have
come TO light among the mans effects.
He took out his first papers of citizenship
last year.

George Rommol, president Of City

mittce in tho near future to make q
survey OF teachers salaries. Whining ton
teachers nre dissn tisfied with their earn
ings and have determined to insist upon
an increase. The members of the board
are ready and willing to go into the matter
with the teachers TO see just what can be
done, If the situation calls for any re-
adjustment of salaries at all.
The board is handicapped at present by
lack Of funds. II the reachers salaries are
10 be raised IL is plain the tax rate will
have to be boosted to meet the demand.
Still there is hope among the members
Of improving matters somewhat this year.
Meanwhile the teachers are preparing
to send out committee Of their own to
get busy. The minimum wage for ele-
mentary teachers is Mt presents75 month.
Many of the teachers come from other
points and are put TO considerable expense
TO maintain themselves in the city, They
say il costs them from $12 to SIG week
to live here. And they declare IL il a
struggle at that.

pocket TREATY THREAT
STIRS Up i. S. SENATORS
Republicans Would Put Final Onus
on President; Seek Irrcconcil-
ables' Support.

Washington, March 1.-The word from
the White House that the President would
pocket the peace treaty il il came TO him
with the multiplying Lodge reservation has
started all sorts OF movements in the
Senate.
One OF these is to get rid Of the con-
troversy forthwith on the ground that as
Senator Lodge announces hs will consider
no modification of bis reservation and
as the President has given notice that no
such treaty can get by him, further de-
bate and effort to arrange compromises is
simply waste Of time. lite proponents
look for a swift ending OF the debate and
the RELOCATION of the treaty To state
of bibernation, from WHICH it will be n
reused only IA an election issue.
A second plan is more interesting.
II contemplates tho bringing OF the II
reconcilables into line and the securing
Of n ratification colution, with the view Of
making the President 20 through with his
Indicated program 80 that the RepubIi-
cans may be able to urge in the campaign
that he, and he alone, Is responsible for
the failure to reach peace with Germany.
The argument is being used on the
Battalion of Death that they are as
sured of their fulfillment Of their declared
from tn President. They are being coaxed
to vote for the treaty, plus the Lodge
reservations, on the ground that they will
place the Republican Party in position
Of vantage during the campaign without
involving any sacrifice by the Borah-John-
son contingent.
In other words tho bitter enders can
vote for the treaty, with the knowledge
that by doing so they will insure its death
