KRECH FROM MINNEAPOLIS
Rise in Business World Dates from
Marriage in st, Paul.

I Alvin w. Krech, mentioned as the
president Of the Equitable Trust COM
pany, was well known in Minneapolis
eighteen or twenty years ago. Young
vigorous, confident and well supplied
with self-assurance, he was picked as
a modern fortune hunter and appar-
emily made good. He was for some time
in the employ Of Colonel G. Nee.
Reeve and managed the little: Holland
mill for him He was the tenor solo
ist of the Church of the Redeemer for
a while and was popular socially.
His rise in the business world be-
gan with his marriage to a Miss Shop
ard of st. Paul. His father in-law, 4
prominent railroad contractor, took
him into the business and for time
he was busy in northern Minnesota. He
later was appointed to nominal re-
ceivership in the southwest, where he
appeared as the: third party in some
large railroad deals and settlements.
This position put him in touch with
railroad men and fnanciers and from
that time his rise was very rapid. His
Minneapolis friends have seen but little
Of him and but little is known, beyond
the fact that he was apparently climb
ing into the top-rotcher class. He de-
MED himself to some Of his former ac-
quaintances and became thoro New
Yorker.

VOLTAGE WITH EASE

Lynn, Mass, June S.-To demon
strate his claims that there is little
danger in electrical force when properly
handled, Professor Elihu Thompson of
this city has permitted a current said
to- have measured over half million
volts to pass thru his body, without
displaying the slightest tremor or ex-
periencing the slightest physical dis
comfort from the test. The demonstra-
tion was made for the benefit Of the
members Of the Commercial club of
Boston.
Professor Thompson adjusted spe-
cial apparatus to his body and high
frequency current was used. Suddenly
there was a flash from the finger tips
minating two incandescent lights that
were held two feet from the fingers.

Senator Nelson Not Prepared to Say
What Outcome Will Be.
Special to The Journal

Special to The Journal.
Alexandria, Mimi, June 8.-When
Senator Nelson was seen at his farm
today and asked for an expression of
opinion in regard to the trouble between
Norway and Sweden, he said:
:" At this distance, owing to the lack
of detailed information, it is difficult to
form an opinion as to the true state OF
affairs. l do rot care to make a public
statement in regard to them.
The senator had just returned from
She meeting of the Norwegian Society
IF America at Fargo and seemed to be
af the opinis~,, that the majority OF the
Norwegian- Americans were in sympa-
shy with the action of Norway. He
could not understand the press report
that Norway would be satisfied with a
kingdom headed by member of the
house of Bernadotte, but seemed in
clined to the belief that as far as the
future Of Norway was concerned Ii
would be fmmaterial whether it was d
republica or kingdom, for even d
kingdom would be Of the liberal type.
As to the outcome Of the trouble he
said he had no idea what it would be-
He thinks there will be no fighting, I'M
less Sweden refuses to grant the de-
mands of Norway and seeks to force
Norway back into the union.

Hitchcock and announced that at the
annual meeting of stockholders, Brady
had not been reelected director. He
was asked to submit list of stock
holders, but refused and was politely
told that the department did not want
to hear anything further from him un-
