Tavenner stated he had very little
sympathy for Americans who persist
ed in travelling abroad on British ships
when American ships were available
He declared that if these Americans
had no regard for their own lives, they
at least owed it TO the country Of their
birth not to ieopardize the peace of
100 000000 patriotic and Christian
people by riding on British ships when
they could just as easily travel in
American ships and with absolute
safety.

Tavenner, that Senator Kenyon of
Iowa plans TO introduce a bill as soon
as congress coHvenes forbidding Amer
lean citizens from taking passage upon

not Of any one nationality in particu-

CITY OF kE0KUK
Judge Hamilton Hands Down Find
inss In Case Of F. w. Swan VS..
City In Paving
Litigation.
NO RIGHT TO RELEASE
Court Holds That Plaintiff Has Not
Established Right to Not
Pay Assessments
Made.
NO RIGHT TO RELEASE

| A decision for the city of Keokuk is
contained in the findings of the court
in the case OF F.. w. Swan vs.. the city
lof keokuk. The findings were mailed
to the clerk of the district court yes
terday from Judge w. s. Hamilton
who heard the case. The court finds
that the plaintiff has not established
his right to release from the assess
ments for paving work.
] In making the decision In the case
(which was presented before Judge
Hamilton at the last term Of court
here, the court holds that a good and
legal contract was entered into be-
tween the said defendants and the
contractors, McManus and Tucker
THAT the curbing in question was In
icidental to the paving Improvement
I'm question and was included in said
contract; that under part Of said John
son street there was an old city sew
| er, the existence Of which was un.
known to the city and to the contrac-
tors at the time of letting the said
contract.
The court finds that the physical
conditions created by the existence OF
the said sewer rendered it impossible
to place the brick pavement contract
ed for, and contemplated upon the
entire surface of said street and to
make the curling OF uniform depth
required by specifications. Because
of the physical condition thus creat-
ed by the existence of the said sewer.
the plaintiff herein suggested that a
portion of the said street be paved
with concrete and not with brick. The
suggestion was adopted by the de-
PENDANT herein and its contractors,
McManus and Tucker, and that to this
Iextent there was a modification of the
contract in question and that the cost
iof the said cement pavement was in
excess of what the brick pavement
would have cost but that the city paid
this difference.
