Herring ARRESTED
CASHIER OF FAILED BANK is
APPREHENDED.
DENIES LOOTING THE CONCERN
He is Held Without Bail Pending Fur
Their Investigation-A Dividend OF
at Least 25 Per Cent Will Be Paid
in Short Time.

CHICAGO. - Henry w. Herring,
State bank. which closed it's doors
three days ago, was arrested Thurs
day and will be refused his release on
bail until his connection with the dis
appearance of nearly $1,000,000 of the
banks funds is cleared up. Paul o.
Stensland, president of the defunct in
stitution, is still a fugitive, and al
though nearly 100 detectives are
searching for the missing president his
whereabouts is as much of a mystery
as ever.
Herring was arrested two hours after
the time he had previously announced
he would give himself up. He was
taken at once to the Office of Chief of
Police Collins and put through a thor
ough examination as to his knowl-
edge of President Stensland's mis-.
management of the institution. Her
ing declared he did not know where
President Stensland was and had had
no communication with him for over
week. The cashier strenuously de-
MED the charge that he (himself) was
partly responsible for the failure of
the bank Herring maintains that if
he is guilty of breaking the banking
laws of Illinois President Stensland is
responsible, as Herring in his examina-
tior declared he never benefited a sim
gle dollar by President Stensland's
peculiar system of banking.
Pank Examiner Jones and Assist
ant States Attorney Gleason were
present during the examination of
Herring. Neither they nor the police
officials were satisfied with the eX-
PLANTATION given by Herring of his con-
nection with the collapse of the bank
and it was accordingly decided to re-
fuse bail to Herring until the matter
has been further Investigated.
Receiver Setter reported to the SUI
perior court that dividend of at least
% per cent would probably be de-
clared to depositors in the bank with
in the next two weeks. This is said
will be followed by a second dividend,
although the receiver was not in
position to state how much of their
savings the $4,000 depositors would
recover from the defunct institution.
At meeting of the board OF direc-
tors of the bank resolution was
adopted appointing a committee to de-
wise ways and means for apprehend-
ing President Stensland and in
Strengthening out the affairs of the
bank. The directors declare that there
will be found sufficient revenue from
the property, assets, etc, to pay all the
depositors in full.
