N. D. MAN MAKES
HIT IN THE EAST

Rev. E. S. Shaw of Minot has just
! returned from six weeks trip in
! the east, where he went to attend the
meeting of the National Congrega-
tional council and the annual meetings
of the various missionary and educa-
tional societies of the church held in
Boston in October.
Mr.. Shaw remained in the east
after the council at the request of
the secretaries of the Congregational
Home Missionary and the Congrega-
tional Sunday School and Publishing
societies under whose direction he
works and gave twenty-eight address
es and illustrated lectures on the de-
velopment of North Dakota material
educational and religious.
He Travelled in fifteen states and in
Canada and the District of Columbia
and saw for the first tirme Boston,
New York and the Capital City.
Among the interesting things seen
on the trip he mentions the autumn
foliage of the Berkshire hills of west
ern Massachusetts, which he saw in
it's prime and beauty-the Congress-
ional library at Washington, which he
thinks is the greatest single sight he
saw on the trip-the Metropolitan mu-
scum of art, the Geological garden and
the landing of the immigrants at e.
lis Island in New York, not to men,
ton the many historical buildings
of Boston.
One of the Boston papers in report
ing one of the addresses said:
"Mr. Shaw, who is westerner both
in size and in optimistic spirit, en- !
phasized the privilege of doing work
which brings such large and steadfast
returns"
He says he is ready to begin the
second fifteen years of service in this
state.

tee. Thursday was fixed as the date
of the trial
Both District Attorney Fickert and
his assistant, James F. Brennan, ad-
m1tted that the claim of immunity made
1t at least doubtful whether a case
could be made against them. It was on
Judge Cabaniss suggestion that the
western fish company was chosen as
the defendant to be tried first
Attorney w. NJ. Madden moved for
the dismissal of the indictments against
the Is whom he says have taken an
immunity BATH but the prosecution OBJ
Jected and Judge Cabaniss refused to
grant the motion. These cases also
went over to Thursday.
A. Trapani whom 1t was proposed TO
try Monday last, when the claim of
immunity was sprung, is the president
of the Western fish company Accord
ing to the testimony in the civil case
tried three months ago in Judge Hunts
court. Trapani was one of the most
active members of the combination. he
and A. Paladini being practically the
dictators.
THE case against the Western fish
company is the case against Trapani,"
said Fickert yesterday 1--WE will in
troduce the same testimony that we
had intended to produce on the trial of
Trapani. The conviction of the COM
pany will result in breaking UP the
trust as effectual1y as the conviction
of Trapani or any other member. The
only difference is that a sentence of
imprisonment can not be asked for. The
court may, however, impose a fine of
$1,000 on the corporation"
