BANKERS OYER REWARD
Chicago Clearing House Will Give $5,000 for Capture of Paul
 Stensland.
DETECTIVES DISCOVER SECRET ROOM
Fugitive President of the Wrecked MiI- waukce Avenue state Bank Traced to Madison, Wis., Another Receiver Ap- pointed and n Legal Fight Is Expected to Foiiow-New Warrant for Herring.

Chicago, Aug. 15.--Ths banks of the have offered reward of 5000 for the apprehension of Paul 0. Stensland. fugitive president of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank. So anxious are the bankers to capture the accused of ficial that conference was held Mon- day afternoon to decide upon some ac- ton to assist the police authorities in their search for Stensland and the passage of resolution to pay this reward was the result
 The failed bank had two receivers Monday night. Judge Gibbons in the circuit court Monday afternoon ap- pointed the Chicago Title & Trust company as receiver, the appointment being made on petition of one of the creditors of the institution. Following the appointment of the trust company demand was made upon John 0. of the bank by Judge Brentano in the superior court last week, that he turn over all books and papers to the new receiver Attorneys for Receiver Fetzer advised him to refuse to con- ply with the request and bitter con- test as to who shall be receiver is sure to follow.
 It Is declared by the attorneys who asked for the new receiver Monday that Fetzer's appointment in the su- perior court was illegal. because Judge Brentano was without proper juris- diction when he made the appoint ment.
 Inspector Shippy and two detectives went to the house of President Stems land at Irving park to seek further evidence aaainst the missing bank president. In the house they found what they believe to be secret room. The room, which has hidden en- trance to Stensland's den, was dis covered after a search of nearly one hour. The room is large enough io admit a man. The entrance is con- cealed by panel in the wall which opens with a spring. Nothing was found to indicate that the room had been recently occupied.
 Chicago detectives struck a new clew Tuesday in tracing President Stensland. Definite evidence was SCI cured to prove that hc was in Madi- son. Wis. last week. Detective Charles Lasson. of Chicago. and Capt. Shaughnessy, of the Madison police department drove out to Westport. seven miles north of Madison. There they interviewed David Lease, of West port, who formerly lived in Chicago. Mir. Lease said he saw Stensland last Wednesday at Mendota. Lease knows Stensland personally, having had banking relations with him in Chica- go.
 Another warrant charging Cashier Herring, of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank with forging note for sl0,000 in the namc of Marius $. Kir- keby was issued Tuesday.
