Xeitzel and wife, accompanied by Miss Cath erine Neitzel, were enjoying the cele bration of the Fourth at Plattsmouth, they driving over in their car. W. T. Weddell received the sad news a few days since of the very serious illness of his brother, who is SO years of age and who has not been in the best of health for some time. Both he and his many friends here are hoping that he may soon be im proved and out and about again. Jess Landholm and the family, John Kruger and wife, with a num ber of friends who were visiting here. and accompanied by Tage Burglund, wife and son Carl, formed a picnic party that spent the Fourth of July at Meadow, where they swam, fished and went boating to their hearts' con tent during the day and ate dinner there as well. Charles Rau, who has been in the west for some time and who was onei of the partners in the stock ranch in which John Gakemeier was also in terested, was a visitor at home for a short time last week. Since the closing out of the former ranch, Charles has interested himself in an other business there and is again handling stock. ' Henry A. Guthmann was a visitor with the family at Plattsmouth last Monday, where they enjoyed the cel ebration which was held there and were loud in their praise 'of the ex cellence of the amusements. The par"ade was exceptionally fine and was viewed by thousands of people from all ovej the county and portions of the ones adjoining. Miss Elsie Bornemeier was a visit or in Lincoln, where she accompanied her sister. Miss Helen, who went to the hospital, for the removal of her tonsils, which was done by Dr. liump ty, and was also accompanied by her friend, Miss Lillian Ringc-nberg, who is staying with JJiss Helen. , Miss Helen is reported as getting along nicely since the operation. L. Neitzel on the 4th concluded he would take a spin for a few hours in stead of firing off firecrackers, and so getting out the gas car, went to Ash land, then to Greenwood, Lincoln, Prairie Home, Alvo and hack home, being refreshed and coming to the conclusion that there was no immed iate cause for any one starving to death on account of the crops. Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Hornbeck de parted Sunday for Rochester, where they go to ascertain the condition of the health of Mrs. Hornbeck. who has not been enjoying the best of health since her return from the hospital, and where they will remain for some two weeks. The doctor will also re main while the wife does and they are hoping that on her return, the accustomed good health will also re turn. Picnic at Meadow George Utt and wife, John Eppings and family, A. J. Bauer and wife, Alboff Gordon and wife all went to the lakes across from Louisville, where they spent the clay on the Fourth and had an enjoyable tinf fishing, boating and swimming. They ate their dinner in the shade of the trees, which made it a most pleasant occasion. Mrs. A. H. Schwab pies Mrs. Edna E. Schwab, wife of the Rev. A. H. Schwab, for a number of years the pastor of the church at Murdock, but who later was pastor of a church in Omaha, later going to Lincoln, where he has been pastor of a church of the Evangelical associa tion, died at Lincoln last week. Mrs. Schwab was forty-three years rof age and for 4 "years was a missionary in India. The Lincoln home was at 1440 North -2 9th street, and the funeral service was held at the Salem Evan gelical church at 29th and Holdrege streets, being conducted by the Rev. B. Miller. The remains la.y in state at the Morey funeral home in Lincoln until the funeral, when they were taken to Clay Center. her former home, for interment. There are many friends in and about Murdock who know the pastor whoj has lost his wife, but few knew the deceased as he lost his first wife a number of years ago. Entertained the Ladies Mrs. Emil Kuehn entertained at the beautiful Kuehn home on last Thursday for the Ladies Aid society of the Evangelical church of Murdock and had as her guests a large num ber of the ladies who were anxious to do their bit for the church and its society. The ladies .immediately looked after the work which had call ed them together, and after having taken care of that, they turned their attention to the sociable side of the gathering and surely enjoyed the hour to the fullest extent. Mrs. Kuehn served a delightful luncheon which was greatly appreciated by the guests, who pronounced Mrs. Kuehn an excellent entertainer. FOR SALE Pure bred "German Police" for sale.

Say Errors in Bank Records Plain to Eye Guaranty Fund Officer Blames State Bank Examiners for Not Find ing Out Sooner. Books and records of the Vrecked State Bank of Papillion were in such's condition, even before the recent special eiamiuaiiuii wunu icouncu H clnsnrue rf rhf nncrIianPlPa. that IV T "ZZ-1 VCZ iTZr- - .. a 1 c olc"lc "l . ... i.rn-.r m m long ago, according to G.

Displaying a led - ger, he continued: "Whole sheets have been torn out, and we have learned tliot tlinv bax-o heen frm fnr Rome I time. "Had there been only one or a iew indications of irregularity, I can see how it might have escaped the notice of examiners. But with such a multi tude of discrepencies, with hardly J anything right, I cannot see how the fact could escape even a casual scrutiny." Quizzed Examiners. Buckner said that after he came from Lincoln to try to salvage the wreck, he spent hours quizzing ex- QTniT,OPG gn effort tr find nut how they asked the bank president andjeen sailors of the Lnited Mates sub- cashier to go with them to Lincoln to explain to- Kirk Griggs, head of the state banking department, j "But when the president disap Ipeared that night, and next morning records in the bank were found to be missing or messed, they became con vinced that there was something rad j ically amiss." I More Forgeries Found. Buckner said he was not speaking of outstanding forged notes. "There are not easily detected in an examin ation unless there is reason for sus picion beforehand," he said. Five more substantial residents in the vicinity of Papillion have reported that notes bearing their signatures and put up by the bank as collateral, are forgeries, Bucknr said. They are Hans Bestmann, $1,750; Theodore Kiiepp, $1,500; Henry Bestmann, ! $1,500; George Gosch, $700, and A C. Gleeson, $500. Schanz Discusses Exeraination. Competent examination of the State Bank of Papillion should have disclosed the forgeries and other dis crc-Dancies discovered since the dis appearance of President E. C. Goerke according to A. L. Schantz, president of the State Bank of Omaha. His bank, with the largest resources of any of the Nebraska state banks, pays the largest fee for state bank exam ination, as well as the largest assess ments for the bank guaranty fund "The state bankers have been try ing to get the banking business out of politics for years," said Mr. Sctentz. "V.'e have ben about 80 per cent successful. We want the exam iners appointed by the guaranty fund commission, instead of by the gover nor; we want ability, and not politics, the test, and we want the examiners paid enough to keep them on the job. We need more experienced men, and we need more examiners." Mr. Schantz believes thorough ex amineration would have prevented the losses at Papillicn, which are esti mated around 182 thousand dollars How to Check Signatures. "There are several ways of check ing possible forged notes," he said. "A bank is supposed to lend money only to its customers. Every cus tomer's signature is on file in the bank, and it would be a simple mat ter for the examiners to check signa ture card with signature on the note If the loan has been made to a man not a customer, that is a warning flag in it9elf, which should lead to further investigation. And where loans seem large and unnecessary, it would be a simple matter for the examiner to go to the phone call up the borrower, and ask him if he had made a loan for tne amount at the bank. "Where the capital of a bank has been impaired, the examiner should immediately call in the directors and stockholders, and make them replace the impairment. With competent ex amination there would not need to be a dollar of loss among the banks of the state. ' More Examiners Required. Mr. Schantz thinks examination of the state banks twice a year is suffi cient, if the examination is well done. He believes mory examiners are re quired to injure thoroughness in the check-up, and he would have the ex aminers paid three hundred to $350 a month instead of two hundred dol lars as now. "Not more frequent, but more thorough examination is the need." he said. "It's vital to the people that the administration of the bank guaranty law be removed absolutely from poli tics," he added. "Governors hate to give up the plums, because they en-j able them to build up their machines,! but banking is too important. Letj them play politics, if they must, with something else, but not with theH money of the people." The appointments to the guaranty fund commission have been practically removed from politics, as a result of a determined fight by the ftate bank era, Mr. Schantz said. Bankers Nominate Member. Commission members are now named by the governor, but they are nominated from the different districts by the bankers themselves.

Bodies of Vic tims of Subsea S-51 Reclaimed Eighteen Members of Crew Nine Months at Bottor of Sea in Steel Coffin. New York, July 9. After nine months at the bottom of the sea in their steel coffin, the bodies of eight- marine S-51 were reclaimer today. The submarine, sunk last September by the steamboat City of Rome, was drained of water today and relieved of its grim cargo at the Brooklyn navy yard. Sailors in oil skins bore from the shattered hulk the bodies of their comrades, and from finger prints, clothing and other marks, identifi cation of one after another was made. The work of identification was sus pended until tomorrow after ten vic tims had been idmtif.ed. When the eighteenth body was lifted out, the eight navy officers in charge of the removal expressed belief that no more remained. Con tinued investigation was ordered, however, to make sure that none had been overlooked. Off Duty When Death Came. Most of the bodies tak?n from the S-51 were clad only in undercloth- ing.'indicating that those thus dress ed were off duty when they jnet death A picture believed to be that of the radio man's mother, blurred by sea water, was found near his instru ments, and other articles testified to the many ties which bound the men to the life from which they were so suddenly torn. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur. who inspected the submarine, said that the S-51 sailors would not be given a navl funeral, their relatives having made known their plans for private burial. As to the manner of the death cf the sailors as a whole neither Rear Admiral Punkett nor Secretary Wilbur would express an opion be yond remarking that the time must have been very short and that death probably had come upon most of the men almost instantaneously, catch ing them wherever they happened to te. The naval board of inquiry re opened today and spent the day in an effort to place the blame for the grounding of the S-51 in the East river as it was 'being towed to the navy yard from the place where it was sunk last September with a loss of thirty-three lives.
