MILWAUKEE, STATE BANK OFF,
CIAL IN SAFE KEEPING
Bail Refused Him Until He Shows
Satisfactorily What Has Become Of
the Million He is Supposed to Have
Taken President stensland Still
at Large.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 10.-Henry w.
Herring, cashier of the Milwaukee
Avenue State Bank which closed its
doors three days ago, was arrested
yesterday and will be refused his re-
lease on bail until his connection
with the disappearance Of nearly ST.
100000 of the banks funds is cleared
up. Paul o. Stensland, president Of
the defunct institution, is still a
fugitive.
Herring was arrested yesterday af-
ternoon, 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
thorough examination as to his
knowledge of President Stensland's S
alleged mismanagement Of the insti-
tuition. Herring declared that he does
not know where President Stensland
is and that he has had no communi-
cation with him for over a week. The
cashier strenuously denied the charge
that he was partly responsible for the
failure of the bank. Herring main
tains that he never benefited a
single dollar by President Stensland's S
peculiar system of banking.
Bank Examiner Jones and Assist
ant States Attorney Oleson were
present during the examination.
Neither they nor the police officials
were satisfied with the explanation
given by Herring, and it was accord
ingly decided to refuse bail to Herring
until the matter has been further in
vestigated.
Receiver Fetzer reported to the
superior court yesterday that a diyi-
dend Of at least twenty-fiv per cent
would probably be declared to de-
positors within two weeks. This. it
is said, will be followed by a second
dividend, although the receiver last
night was not ready to state how
much Of their savings the Y22,000 de-
positors will recover.
A meeting Of the directors Of the
bank was held yesterday afternoon,
at which a committee was appointed
to devise ways and means for ap-
pretending President Stensland and
Strengthening out the affairs of the
bank. The directors declare that
there will be found sufficient revenue
to pay all depositors in full.

DAKOTA APPLES ARE
in THE MARKET

Persons who are skeptical in re-
gard to the ability Of South Dakota
to raise good apples should call at
the Office of the Aberdeen Fruit Com
mission company and see some of the
finest Dutchess apples that ever
grew. New York state or any other
in the union cannot beat them and
they will do well if they equal them.
The apples are large and smooth,
there not being a rought spot on
them anywhere. For this season S
product in the fruit line they are
wonders. They were raised in Clay
county near Vermillion. Mr.. Hall,
the manager Of the company, keeps
three or four on his desk to show
to his friends as they drop in to
see him.

Several Persons Thought to Knox
Something About Woman's Death

Kansas City, Feb. 22.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson, Of the southern federal dis
trict of Iowa, with two other United
States judges, came in for sharp crtti-
cism here for accepting favors from
railroads.
Judge J. Med. Trimble. attorney for
the Orient railway, spoke at the session
OF the municipal university" on the
aEti-pass law, franchise granting. the
Threatened invasion of China by the
United States and John d. Rockefeller.
In connection with III railroad pass
question Judge j. Ned. Trimble re-
ferred to the recent pleasure trip to
Tampico which three federal Judges
took ar guests of Gardiner Lathrop and
two ether general solicitors for rail-
roads.
u do not think there was anythink
like corruption intended or apprehended
in the invitation and it's acceptance"
said Judge Trimble II do not believe
that any one of the judges who was
thus entertained would consciously al
low the recollection of social favors to
influence him in the conduct of cases in
Which his hosts We're interested. I be-
,lieNe that if the thought had occurred
to them that the public might put an
adverse construction upon the affair
not one of those judges would have

jaunt with railroad attorneys. But the
fact remains that no matter how dis
interested were Their motives the action
begets distrust in the public mind, and
that is enough to condemn it,"
The Significance of the Affair.
Judge Trimble dwell upon the higt
standing of all men in the Tampicc
party n that by reason of their as
,cendancy the affair gained greater Sig
~nificance. He said that but for a minor
episode, the confiscation by a deputy
game warden of six birds intended for
the private cal, the fact that three
by the general solicitors of three rail-
roads probably would never have be-
come public knowledge.
l. The distinguished guests were
judges in the districts in which one or
all of the three railroads represented
by the hosts operate. / do not hesitate
to say that I believe that those general
solicitors would not ave invited the
men they did had not those men been
judges. No doubt the invitation was
fairly, innocently worded.
3 But men of the caliber Of the three
Judges in question ought and must
have known that there was dope In
the middle of the sugar coated bait
which was held out to them. While the
dope may and probably will not poison
them, the peonle believe it will. Such
an affair as the Tampico pleasure
taunt begets in the people a disregard
for judges and a consequent disregard
Tor laws. The courts are ours; the laws
are ours; we made them both and can
unmake them at Will"
Judge Trimble's remarks upon the
Iampico trip were incidental to a dis
cusston OF the Duties Of citizenship"
