MORE KAN. SURVIVORS
Tuscania Accounted for List Shows
Five Additional Jaybawker Soldiers.

Washington. Feb. IL. Eighteen
hundred and thirty-two names of
American soldiers rescued from the
torpedoed liner Tuscania had been re-
ported to the war department, leaving
345 of the soldiers on board unac-
counted for. No official report has
reached the department to change
the estimate that all except 113 of
the men were saved, but the names
have been coming in very slowly over
the cables and there is no assurance
as TO when the list will be complete.
From the names SO far received and
-the passenger list of the lost steamer
the Associated Press has compiled the
record of those still not reported. No
doubt further lists of survivors from
ports in Scotland and Ireland, where
the rescued men were landed, will clear
up the doubt concerning the fate of
many of the men now on the unac-
counted for-list.
1t was decided. however. to publish
the list OF the men unaccounted for in
order to relieve the fears of the rela-
tives of the more than two thousand
men rescued.
Additional survivors of the Tuscania
who live in Kansas were reported to-
day as follows: Paul H. Marshall,
Weir: George B. Olesson, Fairview
Charles Hetrick; Lecompton: Homer

SANTA FE MEN
Continued from Page One,

troverSy today was a question as to
whether Santa Fe shop employees
would be allowed to attend the La
Dor and Loyalty parade tomorrow.
Superintendent Drury today said that
any shop employees desiring to attend
the Lincoln day celebration Tuesday
could do so. The shops, however, will
not be closed, for the reason that a
great number of employees do not want
to lose the time, he said.
Brown this afternoon questioned the
assertion made by Santa Fe officials
to the effect that there was no walk
out"
you'll find that a number of boil
ermakers and others did not go back
to work this afternoon" he said. THE
resolutions adopted Sunday asked that
notices of Morses reinstatement be
posted on all time clocks in the
shops. The notices were posted, l un.
derstand, only in the car department.
The organization of employees,
Brown said. is not an antagonistic
move against the Santa Fe. I'VE may
make some wage demands later, first
to the railroad, and if not successful
