in a launch yesterday afternoon from
the foreign settlement to the cruiser.
The launch drew up alongside the
Chao-Ho flying the admirals flag.
Admiral Sa Chang Ping was
aboard. There were about 40 men in
the launch. They boarded the cruiser,
each carrying a bomb concealed
beneath handkerchiefs. The rebels
whipped off the handkerchiefs con-
cealing their weapons and covered the
crew with revolvers, threatening death
unless their orders were obeyed in
startly. They compelled the crew to
open fire on the arsenal and other
warships.
The rebels were unable to make use
sof the heavier guns, as the officer of
the Chao-Ho threw overheard the
keys to the magazines containing the
six inch and four inch shells. His ac-
tion probably saved the arsenal and
foreign settlement from serious dam
age. Numerous shots fell in the
foreign concessions, but no serious
harm was done.

Severe Criticism of
North Dakota Governor

The Minneapolis Sunday Journal has
the following editorial:
Governor Hanna OF North Dakota
appears to be about the only official
in the United States blind enough to
the responsibility of public station to
join Henry Ford's project of inperti-
nent peace meddling.
Every other governor asked has de-
clined to take part in the unlimited
peace mission, and the Federal Gov
ernment has discouraged it. Respon-
sible persons in the educational in
stitutions of the country have followed
the official example. The expedition

more than last year.
Not q single establishment of the
government asked for less than was
given last year. Many requests were
made for increases because OF devel-
opments of the war in Europe.
The State Department asked for
many increases, including $4,000 for
additional clerical force in the depart
ment. 325.000 additional for the sal
aries of charges de affairs. and $4,000
for transportation and subsistence,
and 100000 instead of the $4,000
asked before to enable the president
to meet unforeseen emergencies aris-
ing In the diplomatic and consular
service.
A large item in the Treasury De-
partment's increase Is s2,200,060 for
collecting the income tax, an increase
OF $1,000.000 over last year which.
among other things. will be used to
hire 4S5 deputy collectors at $1,000 per
year compared with 127 collectors in
1915. The same department wants

Governor Hanna may find himself
at home in this company, but he will
find nobody else on the peace ship
who represents anything but his own
vanity. The European Powers should
be officially advised that Governor
Hanna has no more authority or re-
sponsibility than the other mission
ers.
1t was enough for Bryan to propose
strolling around Europe to tell the ma
tions how to manage their affairs af-

First National Bank
Of CasseIton Closed---
Anheier Is in Charge

Y
This morning the doors of the First
National bank of Casselton are closed
and National Bank Examiner c. Fl.
Anheier is in charge of the institution
investigating its affairs in order that
all may be protected. While the
investigation has not progressed to a
point where the real. conditions are
known, reports are to the effect that
the close is only temporary and is
made necessary by some slow paper,
which it is believed is good but will
take time to realize on.
1t is reported here that borrowings
of r. C. Kittel, a former officer of the
institution, for which the stock of the
bank was put up as collateral, Is re-
sponsible for at least a part Of the
present condition OF the institution.
However, the bank is backed by some
of the strongest financial men OF the
county and 1t is reported that these
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1915-12-06

have come forward to- the support Of
the institution and that the. closing
is only, a temporary arrangement.
On Nov. q Mr.. Kittel sold his IN
terests in the bank to the other stock
holders and an election was held at
which M. G.. Straus was named pres
ident and Oscar f. Gray was elected
to the vice presidency. '
The First National bank OF Cassel-
ton is one of the oldest banks OF
eastern North Dakota, having been es-
tablished in 1882 and since that time
has held place in the front ranks OF
the banks of the state.
A report from Casselton this after
noon states that the directors are
working on reorganization with
prominent farmers of that vicinity in
terested in the new plan. 1t is said
that If this is allowed to proceed the
bank will repopen in short time.
