SURVIVOR OF GREAT STORM
Was One of the Men Who Battled With
Waves in Great Storm of April 10,
1874 Long an Employe of Balm
Wagon Co. Widely Known Here.

Traugotte FRANKIE, aged II years, one
of the Oldest of the pioneer German
residents Of the city and one of the
Kenosha fishermen who escaped
death in the great lake storm of April
Is, 1874, died at his residence at the
corner of North Chicago and Hanson
street just after four o'clock this morn
ing. Death resulted from a natural
breaking down due to advanced age.
Mr.. FRANKIE had been in feeble health
for more than three years and an acct
dent which occurred a week ago
FASTENED his death.
Frederick Traugotte FRANKIE was a
native of Saxony where he was born
February "a, 1888. He came to this
country and to Kenosha more than fifty
years ago and his first years in Kenosha
were spent as a FISHERMAN. His
death recalls the tragedy-the most
notable in the marine history of Keno
sha-of April is, 1874, when eight fish
ermen from this city met death in a
great storm on the lake and nearly as
MANY more escaped death only after

where the good people of the city had
shown interest enough in the fact that
he had been good scout to save him
from a grave in the potter field. The
body of the boy had been placed in a
silver gray casket and over the top Of
it was draped the emblems of the boy
scouts. There was no, lack of flowers
for many people who had not felt them
selves able to contribute to the fund
had sent in little floral offerings. 1t
was found that the boy had been a mem
Der Of the English Lutheran church aud
for this reason the Rev. Horace X. Geh-
hart of Grace English Lutheran churciI
was called upon to read the service ut
the funeral. The choir of the church
also came and furnished music for the
last sad rites. The casket was borne
to its last resting place by six Of the
members of the Kenosha troops of tho
boy scouts and the other members of
the organization in Kenosha almost to
a boy followed in the line Of the escort.
Mrs. Mary Walker gave the scouts
permission to bury the boy on her lot
at Green Ridge cemetery, this being the
contribution of Mrs. Walker to the fund
for the funeral. Efforts were made to
carry out every suggestion of the moth
er of the boy in the plans for the
funeral
The fund which was collected for the
funeral amounted to more than eighty
dollars ad with the fifteen dollars that
Scout Wetzel had when he died every
expense connected with his last illness
and burial will be paid There will be
still left small balance and this
amount will probably be sent to the
mother of the boy as his last contriha
ton to the support of the large fami!T
way down in the foothills of Virginia.
The boy scouts in Kenosha have taken
a great interest in the plans for the
burial of young Wetzel and the day of
the funeral will remain one Of the most
interesting days on the scout calendar.
Within a few days the parents of the
boy viii receive a letter from Kenosha
telling of the funeral Of the boy and Of
the many people who aided in saving
him from being laid at rest in the pot
ter's field.

Der of the boy scout patrol at Dayton,
Ohio, was laid at rest in the Green
Ridge cemetery. It was one of the
most unusual funerals ever held in Ke-
nosha. Not one of the boys who fol-
lowed the body of Scout Wetzel to the
grave had ever known him in life. All
that they knew of him was that he had
been scout and had a good reputation
for keeping up the teachings of the or
der. Some of the people who had con-
tributed to the fund of more than $50
raised for the burial of the boy believed
that the body should have been sent
back to the home of his parents at
Woodstock, Va. Yesterday a letter
came from the mother of Paul Wetzel.
In it she told the story of home Of

Drawing great peril. Mr.. FRANKIE was
one of the members of the crew of the
!" Holderness boat When the boats
went out from Kenosha in the early
morning there was perfect weather but
early in the afternoon the storms came
on the lake and the Holderness boat
on which Mr.. FRANKIE was a sailor was
the only one to make the harbor. It
managed to reach the beach off Keno
sha after a terrific battle with the
waves and it was hurled on the beach
and the men rescued. The other boats
capsized more than a mile from the
land and while it was possible to see
the eight fishermen struggling in the
water it was impossible to save them.
After serving several years as fish
erman, Mr.. FRANKIE went to work for
the Balm Wagon company, little over
forty-three years ago and for thirty
years he was in charge of the assem-
bling department for the company. He
gave up his work at the factory thir-
teen years ago and since that time had
lived retired life.
On February 5, 1863, Mr.. FRANKIE was
married in Kenosha to Miss Dorothy
Frederick Reinhart. The widow and
one son, julius FRANKIE, we'll known
Office man of the Balm Wagon company
survive him. The deceased was a
brother of former Alderman Ernst
FRANKIE who for many years was prom
inent in the official life of the city.

Boyd and Won papen viii Be
Recalled.
MUST GO, LANSING INSISTS
Secretary of State Replies to Note
from Berlin and Won Bernstorff Com.
Observation-Disclosures in NUM-
tions and Ship Plot Cases Are Men
toned in Reply.

Washington Dec. 8.-Secretary Ian
sing has replied to Germany that the
American governments request for the
withdrawal of Captain Boyd and
Captain Won Papen, the naval and
military attaches, respectively, Of the
German embassy here, was entirely
because of their military and naval
activities.
Secretary Lansing's reply to the
German governments inquiry which
indicated the Berlin foreign Office in
tended to contest the withdrawal Of
the attaches under certain conditions,
was delivered in long communication
which the German embassy immedi-
ately forwarded to Berlin. At the en-
bassy all comment on it was withheld
President Wilson fully approved
Secretary Lansing's decision.
Reply Sent to Germany.
Secretary Lansing also sent a reply
to Germany through Ambassador Ger
ard at Berlin. In making it's inquiry
Germany used two avenues Of com
munication-the German ambassador
here and the American ambassador in
Berlin.
The Archibald incident it was said,
was mentioned in connection with the
case of Captain Won Papen and the
trial of the Hamburg merican con-
spirators was mentioned in connec-
ton with the case of Captain Boy-Ed
Emphasis placed on the statement
that military and naval activities alone
were considered was taken to indicate
that other German officials were not
in any way concerned.
AS to diplomatic precedent for the
request Of Germany, it is said, Secre-
tary Lansing's communication does
not admit the right of the Berlin for
eign Office to inquire into facts and
their sources. Consequently no specific
details of any kind were discussed.
Attaches Will Be Recalled.
Berlin, Dec. S.-The request re-
ceived here from the United States for
the recall of Captain Franz Won Papen
and Captain Karl Boyd, military and
naval attaches respectively Of the Ger
man embassy at Washington, undoubt-
eddy will be granted in accordance
with diplomatic usage, it is said. How
ever, Germany probably will ask first
to be informed Of the grounds on
which the United States government
bases the undesirability of the at
taches.
News of the request for the recall
mas not been published by the German
press.
