President of Milwaukee
Avenue Bank Badly
Wanted.
LEFT WITH A WOMAN
Blame Transferred From Cash
ler's to His Shoulders
Son Arrested.

Chicago. Aug. S.-Today a woebe
gone crowd of depositors continued
to surround the wrecked Milwaukee
Avenue State bank as on previous
days The unfortunates, mostly work
ing people, came early and seemed de
termined to remain indefinitely Police
were on hand to repress any tendency
toward disorder.
Guilty of High Crimes.
Conclusive evidence has been I'M
earthed by State Bank Examiner Jones
that Stensland, the fugitive president,
has been guilty of highly criminal acts
in conducting the business of the in
stitutiOn of which he is head. This
was officially announced by Jones to-
day. At the same time culpability for
the crimes which have brought far
reaching disaster on the northwest side
is narrowing more and more to Stems
land.
Takes Blame from Herring.
Henry W. Herring the missing cash
ier. who was declared to be the en-
beZzler of large sums of money, is be-
ing in a measure exonerated because OF
lack of proof against him.
Trace of StensIand.
Chicago. Aug S.-That President
Paul o. Stensland of the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank was in Chicago on
the day preceding the banks crash,
and that the worthless securities in
the banks vaults probably total more
than million dollars, were significant
developments in yesterdays inyestiga
tfon of the affairs of the wrecked finan-
cial institution.
Son Under Arrest.
Theodore Stensland, vice president
of the bank and son of the fugitive
president, was arrested late in the af
ternoon at the behest of a depositor.
The charge against him is identical TO
that preferred against the father
Stensland. Jr., was released on $4,000
bond Immediately after his arrest.
The day was without developments
so far as Henry W Herring, the miss
ing cashier, was concerned. The po-
lice we're unable to gain the slightest
clew as to his whereabouts.
That the worthless paper in the bank
amounts to $1,OO3, 900 is said to have
been admitted by President Stensland
to his son. A leading down town bank |
er said that Stensland, Jr., had inform |
ed him that such was the case. Stems |
land, Jr., refused to confirm this.
Woman In the Case.
During the day there were more or
less definite reports that President
Stensiand had left Chicago in company
with a woman who for two years or
more has been living at the Auditorium
hotel, and whose expenses there the
banker is said to have paid. The wo-
man mentioned in this connection is
well known in musical circles. Two
years ago she was divorced from her
husband. 1t is known that she has
been a frequent visitor at the Stems
land home in Irving park, often remain
ing there until far into the morning. A
woman member of the Stensland fam
lily spread the report that the two fed
together This could not be verified.
