FEARS OF CLASH
OVER RECEIVER
In the Case of the Looted Chi
Cago Bank.
OFFICIAL REPORT SECRET
Examiner Decided to Withhold It
From Public.
MORE WARRANTS FOR Herring
Charging Him With Forging Note
for $4,000 in the Name Of
Marius S. Kirkeby.
OFFICIAL REPORT SECRET
MORE WARRANTS FOR Herring

CHICAGO, August 14-Interest in the in
vestigation into the affairs of the suspended
Milwaukee Avenue State Bank was stim-
ulated today by anticipation of a clash be-
tween the circuit and superior courts of
Cook county. Judge John Gibbons of the
former tribunal yesterday appointed \the
Chicago Title and Trust Company receiver
for the bank, and today preparations were
made to GUST Receiver John c. FetZe-, act
ing under authority of Judge Brentano of
the superior court. Besides this complication
there is still to be settled the status of Re-
ceiver w. c. Niblack, named by Referee in
Bankruptcy Eastman to collect the personal
estate of President Paul o. Stensland.
The official report of the condition of the
defunct institution is to be given to the
state auditor today, but Bank Examiner c.
c. Jones has decided to withhold the con-
tents of the report from the public in Chi
cago in order to protect those most vitality
interested in the banks affairs. He may,
however, he says, decide to give extracts
from the report.
Another warrant against Henry w. Her.
ing. cashier of the Milwaukee Avenue State
Bank, charging him with forging note for
$4,000 in the name of Marius S. kirkeby,
was issued today by Judge Kersten. the
warrant was signed by Kirkeby.
Much Collateral Security Stolen.
The belief that large amounts of collat-
eral given as security for notes in the Mil
waukee Avenue State Bank have been
stolen practically became certainty last
night when note for. 5000 known to be
genuine was found in President Stensland 8
house at Byron street and Lawndale ave-
nIe. Search was made for the collateral
security, but it could not be found. The
discovery opened up field for almost un-
limited speculation as to how far the loot
ing proceeded before Stenslaad disappeared.
If the real estate and other securities in
the bank have been stolen or are found to
be worthless, the amount of money left to
pay the depositors probably will be reduced
to as low as % per cent. -
The criminal side of the bank case has
been placed in the hands of Assistant
States Attorney Barbour to Mr.. Olson,
who is about to start for New Hampshire
on a vacation Mr. Barbour will be left
in charge of the states attorneys Office
pending the return of Olson and States
Attorney Heas.ey.
Mr.. Olson learned yesterday that Stems
land had large land holdings in Mexico, and
he may be there now The information
came in a letter from an acquaintance of
Stensland. Mr.. Olson said 1t will take only
twenty-four hours to run down the clue.
Following a conference with Judge Bren-
tano today counsel for Receiver FetZer be-
gan preparing a petition asking that at
least one of the lawyers and parties to yes
terday's receivership proceedings be pun
shed for contempt of court.

without doubt one of the greatest

Is as far as lighting ability goes, but in
no other way.
He has been fighting for eight years,

did It was bad news for his opponent.
II Ferguson had the head Of Jim Cor

When one looks over q list Of Fergu-

be seen at a glance that he has con-
