the estate, has received many let
ters from cousins" "nephews" and
"nieces" of the deceased, claiming
part of the estate of nearly 100000
which has been found so far.
One OF the cousins" appeared in
the county judges office yesterday.
He didn't give his name. He
said he was just looking up the
estate.
These people would save postage
if they would look up the Nebraska
law" said Mr.. Werlich. The law
provides that Mr.. Seaman's sister
is the sole heir Of his estate. She
gets it all"
Some of the letters are from per-
sons who are not even relatives.
Il know Mr.. Seaman's sister Is
open-hearted and she will help me,
one woman writes. Then follows q
rec1tal or the WOmdnS needs.
Another woman writes stating
that Mr.. Seaman promised to buy
her a home in Iowa. Another in
forms the administrator that Mr..
Seaman promised her the trunk
found in Mr.. Seaman's room.
Mr.. Werlich has found, in addi-
ton to cash and securities, from
$4,000 to 100000 in value, many
tax deeds which, he says, will re-
quire months for investigation. A
preliminary inventory of the estate
will be filed soon.

tor with Mr.. Werlich, will remain in

WESTERN OFFICE
Of S10,000,000
FIRM FOR OMAHA
Concrete Warehouse to Be
Erected at Cost of $780,
000-Headquarters Now
At DeS M0ineS.

= Geat tnat wifi mean the transfer
OF the western headquarters of the
Cleveland Metal Products Co., a
$l0,000,000 Ohio corporation, from
Des Moines to Omaha, was COM
pleted Tuesday by George fl Co.,
Omaha representatives of the firm,
who acquired in its name a quarter
OF block at the northeast corner
OF Thirteenth and Davenport streets.
According to George & Co., the
consideration involved was $4,000.
A three or four-story warehouse of
reinforced concrete is to be erected
on the site at once. According to
information received by J. E. George,
the building will cost 100000.
The Cleveland company manufac-
lures kerosene oil stoves and other
oil burning devices, and various
kinds of aluminium cooking utensils.
It's distribution is world wide. The
products of the company are sold
under the trade names of New
Perfection" Aladdin" and "Puri-
: tan" For the present the Omaha
branch of the company will be a
warehouse and offices of the middle
western headquarters, and no pro-
visions for manufacturing will be
made.
The company has been negotiat-
ing in Omaha for a site for more
than year, Mr.. George explained.
Efforts through the Chamber of
Commerce, Real Estate board and
railroads to secure location that
could be rented failed, so the conf
pany bought site and will put up
their own building.
Their present distributing arrange
ment, with Des Moines as head
quarters for this territory, has
proven inadequate for some time, ac-
cording to word received from G. G..
Davis of Cleveland. His investiga-
ton proved Omaha to be the logi-
cal place, because of better railroad
service. 1t is understood that Kan
sas City and other points in sur
rounding states were also con-
sidered.
According to Mr.. Davis, E. A
Parks, district manager, now at Des
Moines, will come to Omaha as soon
as the branch is opened. At least
80 persons will be employed in the
plant, and it is expected that he
annual business through the Office
will amount to $1,250000.

State Meeting of City and County
Superintendents.
Special The Times.

Special to-Ihe- limeS.---
The annual meeting OF the City
and County Superintendent was held
at Jefferson City Friday and Satur-
day, February 10 and IA.
The meeting was we'll attended,
over two-hundred City and County
Superintendent from all over the
State were there.
Questions concerning the shortage
of teachers, causes, and how to re-
lieve, were taken up and discussed.
The reports from all over the state
show there is indeed great educa.
tional crisis confronting the state OF
Missouri>> at the present time. One
County Superintendent reported 7
schools closed on the account of
teachers not being available, and 20
other districts are having school only
by letting persons teach who do not
have any certificates. The report
showed that almost all OF the larger
schools were one or two teachers
short at the present time. In some
instances the city schools have spok-
en- for the rurals teachers, and as
soon as their school is ont they will
come into town and teach for the rest
OF the year.
The report OF the Committee on
salaries showed that the teachers were
paid lower than all classes of skilled
labor The average salary paid
teachers in the State of Missouri the
present year is SI2.,' per week. The
wages paid skilled labor range !rnN
$50 to $50 per week.
Reports showed that most OF the
districts have already made out a
budget for the next school year, and
they are going before the people 10
try and get the money necessary t.
meet the increased cost III education.
These budgets carry an advance OF
from 10 to 90 per cent over the pres
cnt salaries
While the educational outlook of
the state is very bad at the present
time, there is one thing the cdutat-
ors OF the state are hopeful about
and that is they have faith in the PEG
pie OF the State OF Missouri, that the
people OF the state will go down i'll
their pockets and get the necessary
money to tide the educational affairs
over the present crisis, when they
know the real facts.
The Convention endorsed unani-
mously the following; Hon. Sam \.
Baker in his work trying to meet the
present emergency. The assessment
of property according to the state
Constitution, which says that proper
ty in the state shall be assessed to its
market value, the levying of a large
repair tax for repairs and furnish
ings, and at the end OF the year the
balance to be transferred to incidental
and teachers fund.
1t was considered the largest i'll at
tendance in the history OF the organ;-
zatlon.
