The steamer seized was the
Princess Ingeborg, from Gothen-
burg for Rotterdam with grain for
the Belgian relief commission, the

America Holds Dutch Ships.
Washington, March 16.-With the
exception of two steamers the
United States is holding all Dutch
ships now in American ports to
prevent their escape pending prob
able requisition Monday. No bunker
licenses will be issued for their
sailing, it was learned today, un-
less they are taken over either by
Communicating or by negotiation.
The fact that the United States
and Great Britain had determined to
seize all Dutch ships in their ports
Monday unless agreed before that
time to turn them over under a vol
untary arrangement, was made
known Thursday.
The two ships which will be per-
mited to sail are the Nieuw Am
sterdam which will take a cargo of
foodstuffs and a number of passen-
gers to Holland, ,-Errtf- tIes~liner
Oranje, which will take a party of
Dutch colonial officers from Amer
lean Pacific port to the Dutch East
Indies.
Holland Reply Expected. IA
London, March Is "A reply
from the Dutch government to the
allies announcement regarding the
utilization of Dutch shipping is eX-
pected before Monday. According
to information received here it will
propose an agreement for the use
of Dutch ships on the understand
ing that they are not to be taken
into the danger zone.
The allies will not assent to this
end, and it is expected the taking
over of the ships on March 18 VIII
proceed according to the program.
Stops English Bound Boats.
Copenhagen, March ia dis
patch to the Politiken from Amster-
dam states that the Dutch govern
ment yesterday prohibited Dutch
steamers from sailing for England.
The Associated Press hears on
excellent authority that the Dutch
government has accepted the de-
mand of the allied governments re-
lating to the use of Dutch ships IN
the danger zone.

JOHN SHERWOOD PASSED AWAY
Well known Old Time Resident Died
Sunday Following Long Illness
Was JanitOr of Sunnyside

John Shervold, aged 40 years, passed
away at local hospital Sunday after
noon at o'clock after long illness
from a complication of diseases. He
has been ailing for the past five years
but has been able to attend to his du-
ties as janitor of the Sunnyside school
during most of this time. Some years
ago he suffered an attack of rheuma-
tism, which left his kidneys in a
weakened condition. He was i'll in the
hospital for about a month in Deem
Der, but went back to the Sunnyside
school and continued his work until a
short time ago. His condition became
more alarming Sunday morning and
he was returned to the hospital.
Funeral services were held in the
Bethania Lutheran church Wednesday
afternoon, Rev. J. Tonne being in
charge. Interment was made in Rose
Hill cemetery.
Mr.. Shervold leaves a wife and
eight children. He was born in Nor
way but came to America when a
young man. For several years he re-
sided on a ranch near Grelland, in
Ward county, but had been a resident
Of Minot for the past IL or Is years.
He was quiet, unassuming man, a
thorough Christian and we'll liked.

The Townley bankruptcy case is be-
ing reviewed at Bismarck this week.
A. C. Townley, president of the Non
partisan league, who several months
ago filed petition in bankruptcy, tes-
titled before Referee S. f. O'Hare,
u. S. Commissioner in bankruptcy,
that a $500 month salary from the
league, a salary Of 500 month from
the Nonpartisan Publishing Co., and
one 500 share in the League Ex-
change were his sole financial interest
in the enterprise, according to Bis
marck dispatch.
At the beginning Of the hearing,
which was brought about by petition
by Townley and his brother, asking
the proceedings to free them from
certain obligations contracted when
they entered into an extensive flax
raising venture in North Dakota,
which resulted in failure, it was an
nounced that E. B. McCutcheon Of Mi
not, former state game warden, had
been appointed trustee.
Francis J. Murphy of Minot, former
assistant attorney general, is repre-
senting the creditors, and William
Lemke, a vice president and one of
the three directors of the National
Nonpartisan league, is appearing for
Townley and his brother.
