DR.. f. A. Crokat, one OF the
directors OF the bank, has taken
great interest in the organiza-
ton OF the institution. The doc
tor is actively engaged in the
practice of medicine and is one
Of the most competent and con-
scientious surgeons OF the entire
state. In 1884 DR.. Crokat es-
tablished a practice here which
continued to grow until he was
hardly able to cope with the
great amount of work. For four
years he was the only physician
in Min0t and there were but few
in the entire county. The doc
tor is eminently fitted for his
profession. He is a graduate OF
The Canadian Medical school and
spent one year abroad, taking
the Edinburgh Degree. Before
coming to Minot, he practiced
medicine in Winnipeg. The doc
tor is now surgeon for the Great
Northern and 500 railways.
Thru his effort, the Ward county
hospital was built some years
ago. He is engaged to a con-
siderable extent in the real estate
business, owning an interest in
several hundred choice lots in

that is honorable in private and
professional life and his record
has been a most praiseworthy
one.
Orrln NJ. Pierce is director in
the concern. Mr.. Pierce is a self
made man and has forged his
way up from the bottom round
OF the ladder. He was born at
Winona, Minnesota, twenty-nine
years ago and after completing.
a course in the public schools OF
that city, he accepted a position
in the Second National bank Of
Cr0Okst0n as messenger. BY
dint OF hard work. he climbed
five steps in that bank and when
he. resigned his position there to
take a position as Discount Clerk
of the Crookston First National
bank, he was paying teller OF that
concern. In 1898 when war
broke out between this country
and Spain, he resigned his posi-
ton to go and fight for his coun-
try. He got only as far as Chi
calnauga, where he spent eight
months, or until the war ceased.
He went back to Winona where
his position was retained for him.
About a year ago, he resigned
his position in the Crookston
bank to go to International
Falls, Mimi, as cashier of the
First National Bank Of that city.
But he was rendered the position
as assistant manager and head
Of the credit department Of the
Minot Grocery Co. and accepted
it, believing that the field in Mi
not was brighter for him. And
it appears that his Judgment was
right, for he has made an envi.
able record with Minot's popular
wholesale house. Mr.. Pierce is a

CHINESE GOVERNMENT OBJECTS
Claims Japanese Are Violating Neu-
traity of Sinmntln
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
TOXIC. March Sit is understood
that the Chinese government has
lodged a protest with the Japanese
government, in which it is alleged
that the neutrality of Sinmintin has
been infringed by the operations there
and thereabouts of the Japanese army.
The Japanese government has not
indicated what attitude it will take
with regard to this protest, but it is
expected that in the reply to China it
will declare that Japan is bound to re-
spect the neutrality of North China
only so long as Russia does, and that
the presence of the Russians at SIN
mintin has created a condition of bel
llgerency.
The operations of her forces at Sin
mintin, it is expected, Japan will point
out, was and is strictly military neces-
sity for the protection of the Japanese
rights and interests.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-T.he extra
session of the senate, which adjourned
yesterday will meet tomorrow at noon,
The expectation is that at that time
the president will send to the senate
number of nominations, the most inn
portant of which will be the merrl-
bers of the cabinet. 1t has been gem
orally understood that with one ex-
ception, that of Postmaster General
Wynne, these nominations will Re
those of the incumbents For the place
to be Vacated by Mr.. Wynne the presi-
dent will name George Cortelyou, heal
of the Republican National committee.
Mr.. Wynne will be nominated for tie
Office of consul general to London, now
filled by H. Clay Evans.
Another matter which will engage
the attention Of the senate during the
extra session will be the consideration
of the Santo Domingo treaty. which
comes over from the regular session of
the last session.
The president has ready a message TO
the senate urging the importance Of
ratification Of that treaty and unless
he has changed his mind the message
will go to the senate during the coming
week. The length of the extra session
is problematical and, it is thought will
depend entirely on the time required TO
dispose of the santo Domingo treaty.

By Associated Press

CLEVELAND, March 5. - Nathan
Loeser, trustee of the Chadwick assets,
and County Prosecutor H. r. Keeler
called by appointment upon Andrew
Carnegie at the home of Sylvester T.
Everett in this city today and brought
with them the famous $5,000,000 note
and the equally famous trust agree
ment. The officials obtained speci-
mems of Mr.. Carnegies handwriting
for the purpose of comparing it with
the writing on the paper which Mrs.
Chadwick used as security for many
of her transactions. Mr.. Carnegie was
amused when he saw the documents
bearing his name. The dissimilarity
between the signature which Mr..
Carnegie wrote for Mr.. Keller and the
signature which was reputed to be his
on the bank paper was marked.
A second purpose of the visit to Mr.
Carnegie was to learn if Mr.. Carnegie
could be excused from coming for the
second trial which Mrs Chadwick and
her husband will have to undergo upon
state indictments. Mr.. Carnegie said
that he was willing to come to Cleve-
land in the interest of justice as often
as necessary; that he regarded it as
his duty as a citizen to do So and that
every citizen should aid in the punish
ment of crime wherever found

case.
Prof. Gould of Cleveland, a hand
writing expert, was present during the
conference between Mr. Carnegie and

made some interesting comments upon
the two styles of writing as shown by
the alleged forgeres and the genuine
signature of Mr.. Carnegie.

IN NATAT0RIUM
David Shafer, an Invalid, Sinks life-
less to Bottom of Tank While
Companions Are at
Play

While swimming around in the water
at the Sulphur Springs natatorium
near the East Side park yesterday
afternoon, David Shafer, 2S years old,
who resided with his parents in Pasa-
dena, was seized with an epileptic fit
and drowned.
Young Shafer had gone to the plunge
earlier in the day with his brother
Wesley and had been in the water
nearly an hour before the accident.
He has been an invalid nearly all his
life and at different times has been
subject to epileptic fits.
At the time he was seized there was
no one near him and it was not until
a little boy who was in the plunge at
the time dove to the bottom of the
tank and discovered him that Shafer
was missed. The youngster, who
jumped from the springboard, came to
the top OF the water suddenly and cried
out that man was at the bottom. AS
quickly as possible several men dove
into the water and pulled the body cf
the invalid to the surface.
There were no witnesses to the af-
fair and the last seen of Shafer was
when his brother and he entered the
water. In the pleasures of swimming
the brothers became separated, and it
was not until the little boy who dis
covered the body came to the top that
Wesley Shafer missed his brother.
The coroner will hold an inquest at
Pierces undertaking establishment this
morning at 10 o'clock.
