of a Director to His Bank The clos
ing part of the address appealed very
strongly to the stockholders to be
very careful in their selection of men
to represent their interests. He said
further that the stockholder, after all
: | is the power behind the throne. He
urged the stockholders to expect big
things of the directors and when they
do well and the banks books show
sound and healthy condition and th'
q stockholder receives a gratifying divl
dend check, he should not fail to ea
! press his appreciation.
The next speaker was Rev. E.
Currie. He expressed his pleasure

was for every stockholder to-

strive to make his bank more helpful
to the public at large, so that 1t Will

minister, M. Korostovitz, delivered
Russias ultimatum to the Chinese
foreign board yesterday. 1t caused
much surprise among the officials,
who seemed to realize the gravity of |
, the matter
NJ Korostoyitz last week, for the
second time, requested permission on
behalf of his government to estab-
lish observation stations along the
Amur and elsewhere on the frontier
He desired also to place directors and
lpolice in Chinese border towns for
the purpose of effectively quarantine
ing the frontier.
China viewed this measure as an
infringement on her integrity and the
Russian minister was notified that a
= reply would be given Tuesday. In the
j meantime, M. Korostovitz was re-
l. quested to obtain further explanation
t. from ST. Petersburg regarding the ma
L ture of the proposals, whereupon the
t. Russian government evidently decided
n that there was no further use of par
leying.

NO GROUNDS FOR CHARGES.
Case Against B. B. Haugan and
Charles C. Barber Dropped.

The charge of false pretenses against
Bert B. Haugan and Charles c. Barber,
arising out of a land deal with George
Uyremura, Japanese at Glen Echo, was
nolle pressed in the Police Court this
morning at the instance of Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney James NJ. Proctor.
I'VE investigated the case for several
days and found nothing which would
warrant our presenting the matter to the
grand jury. It looked like too much haste
on one side and too much suspicion on
the other" said Mr.. Proctor today.
Haugan informed the prosecuting Off
GERS that if the japanese was dissatisfied
with his bargain to assist in promoting
the Texas lands he would return the 500
which Uyren;ura gave him to bind the
deal 1t is understood the money was re-
turned to the japanese some time yes
terday.
Both Barber and Haugan presented
DOCUMENTS to the prosecutors sufficient
to convince the latter that their negot;a-
tions with Uyremura were perfectly le-
gitimate. The S315 collateral furnished
by the defendants at the time of their
arrest last week was returned by the
financial clerk at the Police Court this
morning.
