New York, Aug. 10.-A strike of sew

hlp the railroad tugboat fleet. This in
turn prevented the movement of a
large amount of freight from the rail

food supplies for this city will be tied
up, as a large percentage Of it is light

do the towing.
It was estimated that not more than
one-third of the freight arriving at the
railroad terminals was moved across
the harbor and that many carloads of
perishable fruit and vegetables were
stalled at least" temporarily. In con
sequence the local markets were short

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Henry w. Herring,
cashier Of the defunct Milwaukee Ave
nue. State bank, who since the suspen-
sion Of the institution has been sought
10y detectives of various cities, has
been located here and has announced
his willingness to surrender to the

himself up Cashier Herring issued a
general statement to the public, tell
ing the methods by which the bank
was looted Of large sums and explain
ing his part in the transactions. Her
ing declares he did not get a cent Of
the money and that unWise real estate
speculation by the missing president,
Paul 0. Stensland, caused the latter's
downfall and the failure Of the institu-
ton. The cashier asserted that Stems
land had dominated every department

One of the results Of Hering's reap
tpearance will be that the cooperative
store, said to have furnished channel
for dissipating nearly 100000 Of the
banks funds, will be closed. Receiver
John c.. Fetzer said that he will ask
instructions CT Judge Brentano on the
disposition Of the stock in the store.

dent, OF an estimated value Of $780,
loco, will be decided to the receiver by
Theodore Stensland.
Receiver Fetzer declared that the
first statement Of cash in hand at the
bank was nearly 100000 too high. 1t
