Held BY the Order.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Fully $4,000

the honor of being the next comman-
der of the organization, and the con-
test promises to become warm be-
fore it is decided.
Aside from the work of the en-
campment there will be many social
functions, and these will continue
throughout the week. The first event
of this kind will be held by Mrs. H. H.
Kimball, who will give a reception in
honor of the Daughters of the Amer

of veterans of the civil wal will be
that of survivors of the First Min
nesota volunteers, who assert that
they were the first troops to offer
their services for the civil war. In

will be given in the Auditorium.

PAYING TELLER OF FAILED MIL
WAUkEE AVENUE BANK, CHI
cAGo, COMMITS SUICIDE.
HIS NEICHBORS TALKED
Believed Final Adjustment of the
Banks Affairs Will Show Stems
lands Shortage to Be
Two Million.

Chicago-Frank Kowalski, the pay.
ing teller of the Milwaukee Avenue
state bank, which failed last Monday,
and for some time assistant receiving
teller in addition to his other duties,
shot and killed himself at his home,
$40 North Carpenter street. Criti-
cism by neighbors and lifelong friends,
who accused him of a share in the
1awnfall of the bank, is believed to
lave driven Kowalski to his death.
Complained Bitterly Of Suspicious.
Kowalski had complained bitterly of
he suspicious of his friends, and de-
clared that unless his character was
speedily cleared he would take his own
life.
Kowalski's relatives assert their firm
belief that he was innocent of any
knowledge of the mismanagement of
the bank by President Stensland..
When the bank failed Kowalski had
500 of his own money on deposit in
he institution, and his immediate rel
atives nearly $4,000. Had the teller
known of Stensland's ~defalcations,
they assert, he would at least have no.
.ified his relatives, and would have
.aken his OWL money out of the insti.
.ution.
The dead teller, who was 80 years
Of age, had been with the bank for 12
years.
Stensland's Shortage Nearly $2,ooo,o 900
While the search for Paul o. Stems
and, the missing president, is being
extended to all parts of the country
Cashier Herring, who was arrested
Thursday, spent the day with the
states representatives and Bank Elk
aminer Jones, in examining the banks
collateral, in an effort to determine
how much the president is short in
his accounts. After an all-day's
search, forged notes aggregating more
!han $500, 000, were found, and are now
in the possession Of the states attor
aey, who will use them in the prose
cution of the officials responsible fol
their %utterance. From statements
made by Herring regarding loans made
by Stensland, as banker, to himself
and the shortages found by previous
Investigations, it is asserted that wher
a final adjustment of the affairs of the
bank Is made, it will be found that
President Stensland's defalcations will
aggregate nearly $4,000, 900.

A FATHLESS BANK TELLER
HIS SHORTAGE WILL AGGREGATE
NlNETY-SEvEN THOUSAND.
Within Twelve Hours Was Arrested
and Held in Default of Bond
Two Other Arrests.

Birmingham, Ala. - Within IL
IL hours Alex. r. Chisholm, paying
teller of the First National bank, was
arrested, charged with the embezzle-
ment of $4,000 Of the banks funds,
given a preliminary hearing before
United States Commissioner R.. B.
Watson, put under bond of $4,000,
and failing to make it is in the GUS
tody of the United States officials at
one of the principal hotels of the
city.
WI. Sims and c. M. Hays, manager
and assistant manager of a stock
and cotton brokerage houses, were
arrested, charged with aiding and
abettting the embezzlement of ma
tional bank funds. They were also
given a preliminary hearing and sims
bond fixed at $4,000 and Hays at
$4,000. Both furnished bonds.
The shortage at the first national
bank was discovered while Chisholm
was on his annual vacation. The
bank has a large reserve fund on
hand, and it was from this that the
amount was taken. Officials decided
to wait and allow Chisholm to return
voluntarily. When he stepped from
the train he was confronted by fed
eral officials and several directors Of
the bank. He at first stoutly denied
knowledge of any shortage, but
later, in the presence of the directors
made a full confession.
w. P. G. Harding, president of the
First national bank, said that the
bank would not lose the whole
amount, and that the d~efalcation
would not affect the institution.
1t is said that practically all of the
money embezzled by Chisholm has
been used in speculation in cotton fu
lures.

.Saron o Sternburg, German am.
bassador to the United States, in an
address at the University of Illinois,
showed that all the great leaders Of
nations, such as Frederick the Great
and K'ang-Hi, the greatest Chinese en-
peror, have taught the same principles
OF citizenship. He drew an interesting
parallel between the teachings of
kang-Hi in the Holy Edict" and the
public utterances of President Roose-
welt. 1t is a truth familiar to all stu
dents Of comparative literature that

INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSIONS REPORT ON THE
SANTA FE VIOLATIONS.
MORTON E~xoNERATED
There Was a Technical Violation of
the Law, the Report Says, But
There Was No Criminal
intent.

Washington In a statement is
sued by the interstate commerce
commission regarding the convic-
ton of the Atchison, Topeka & San
ia Fe Railway Co. for violating the law
with respect to the giving OF rebates,
the commission says: THE avowed
purpose of the practice tends to sup
port the view" that there was no Grim
inal intent on the part of Paul Morton,
former secretary of the navy, and for
mer head of the traffic department of
the Santa Fe, and the other railroad
officials involved. The statement calls
attention to the fact that with the i'm
position of the $4,000 on the railroad,
the history of the famous Santa Fee re-
bate case is practically closed, and
praises President Roosevelt and Atty
Gen. Moody for carrying out with sue
cess the administrations declared pur.
pose to enforce the statute in all such
cases.
Regarding Criticism.
Regarding the criticism which fol.
owed the refusal of the administra'
ion to prosecute Paul Morton, the
statement says: TOO much praise can
not be accorded to Att'y-Gen. Moody in
carrying the case through to a success

verse criticism in many journals be
cause of the refusal of the adminstra
ton to undertake the prosecution OF
Paul Morton, then secretary of the
navy, and formerly head of the traffic
department of the Santa Fe system
The attorney general in disagreeine
with Messrs. Harmon and Judson, who
had been employed by the government
to make a preliminary investigation
acted plainly with foreknowledge Of
the legal difficulties that attended
every step in the attempted prosecu
ton of Mr.. Morton and other officials
in this peculiar case, which really
grew out Of a long-standing practice
intended primarily to develop the Goa
industry in Colorado and New Mexico

law in 1908, and the courageous inves

There was a technical violation OF
the law involved in the transaction, as
has always been plain, but that there
was criminal intent on the part of Mr.
Morton and the other officials involved
has always been denied; and the
avowed purpose of the practice tends
to support that view"
