ANSWERED THE LAST ROLL
CALL

On Monday, January 21st., F. C.
Schwanbeck, died at his home from
an attack of heart trouble. For some
time Mr.. Schwanbeck had not been
in the best of health but his condition
was not thought to be serious SO

ried in the city of Milwaukee, Wis
consin, and in August 1878 he came
to Trego county where he resided un-
til the time of his death, thus max
ing him among the oldest of Trego
county's settlers. He was a veteran
of the Civil war and has a long and
honorable war record having render
ed his country valuable service dur
ing the period of the late rebellion.
There were thirteen children born
in this family, six of whom are liv-
ing. Since boyhood Mr.. Schwanheck
was a member of the German Luth-
eran church. He was a man who was
of friends. He was always kind and
obliging to every one and of a
happy cheerful disposition. He was
much loved by his family and his
friends and the good deeds of his
life, his devotion to that which was
right and kindliness to his fellow
men will live after him.
On Wednesday, January 23rd, the
funeral was held at Collyer and the
remains laid to rest in the family lot
at that place. A large number from
Wa-Keeney attended the services, and
the large concourse from Collyer and
vicinity bespoke the esteem in which
the deceased was held. Besides his
widow he leaves six children all of
whom are grown, twelve grand child
rem and one great great grand child
to mourn his loss

MikadO's Government Is Not

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-Four OF the
Japanese ships turned over to the United
States Shipping Board on charter as a
part Of the trade by which the United
States was to get quantity Of japanese
tonnage In exchange for ship plates and
shapes sent to japanese shipyards are
not regarded by their commanding ON
GERS as sufficiently seaworthy TO sail to
the European war zone.
This was learned on good authority
to-day. For obvious reasons no state
ment has been made by the Shipping
Board because of diplomatic questions
involved. II may be said, however that
the japanese Government Is in no way
responsible for unloading these ships on
the United States even though the agree
ment was negotiated between the re-
Bpective Governments.
Under the agreement the United
States was to get more than 100000 tons
of shipping In exchange for 100000 tons
OF ship steel on the basis that one ton
of steel will construct between two and
three tons of shipping. The Japanese
yards needed the steel to complete ships

tons Of shipping would be Immediately
delivered and the other $4,000 tons con-
structed in Japanese yards.
The negotiations were held up many
months while steel to fill Japanese or
ders was held on the Pacific coast. Part
of this delay, 1t rs known. was due TO
the fact that the Shipping Board OBJ
jected to some vessels offered as being
too old and not seaworthy.
Now reports come from the Pacific
coast that commanders of four OF the
charter ships refuse to go into the war
zone with them or to have guns mounted
claiming that even 3-lnch guns would
strain. these vessels too much. 1t Is re
ported that one of them is an old Pacific
mail steamship that is ready for the dis
card.
Every effort Is being made by the
Japanese Government to correct the stu
alton. The Government Is paying jap
anese ship owners 100000 yen, the
difference between the allied charter
rates at which they had TO be turned
over to the United States and the pre-
vailing japanese charter rates. The
Government fostered the deal to benefit
Japanese shipping and shipyards, but It
seems that the Mikado's ship men put

Director General McAdoo announced

Consequently the express company
will now proceed Immediately to raise
charges, but these rates win be subject
to review by the Interstate Commerce

The new rates would be a maximum
OF II cents per hundred pounds higher
on first class shipments and IL cents on
second class in so-called first zones, or
short hauls. generally less than 100
miles, For longer hauls first and second
class rates would be advanced ~ and 8
cents a hundred pounds. respectively. as
maximums. In addition 10 cents per

would be added to commodity rates.
The express company has estimated
that of the s23.67s.000 which the pro-
posed rates should produce $17,037.00
or more than two-thirds, would come
from transportation in the first zone.
The entire $11,7S0.o00 which the ex-
press company would receive from the
increased revenue is to 60 to pay higher
