Wildcat Financiering.

Chicago. Aug S.--"Wildcat" real estate flnanclering by Paul o. Stems land in his Irving park subdivision will be disclosed, 1t was predicted to- day, as soon as J. E. Fetzer, receiver for the wrecked Milwaukee State bank checks upon the mortgages and notes given by hundreds of investors who hung on to the bubble let loose by the. missing bank president. A slump in value at this time, which is feared will come. would cause much suffering and loss to owners. It has been learned that loans have been made on houses fin that sub-di- vision up to within so per cent of their top notch value. The cash came from the savings of depositors of the suspended bank. Scores of houses were constructed in the sub division which were declared when building to be too expensive for the character of the section. Loan houses were told at the time that if they did not care to take the security Paul o. Stensland stood ready to fur nish the money and at low rate of interest.
 To-day a woe-begone crowd of de- positors continued to crowd around the bank. Police were on hand to re- press any tendency toward disorder.

TWO MEN BURIED
 IN SAND BANK Ono Of Them Was Taken Out Llielsss at South Brooklyn
 To-day. SEVERAL NARROW ESCAPES
Great Excitement at Meriden Junction Where O'Brien Con-
 struction Co. is Doing Work.

A cave-in at noon to-day in the biz sand bank in South Brooklyn, where the O'Brien Construction Go is get. ting material for the railroad changes now going on in Waterbury resulted in the death of one man Peppino Jionino, and fellow work man had close call for his life. A gang of men were at work near the spot where the steam shovel Is al work, when without a moments warning the bank came down and completely covered Jionino and piled up around the other fellow SO that just his face was above the sand. The news of the accident was sent along the line and as many men as could be picked up were hurried to the scene and set to work digging after the entombed man, while others turned their attention to the victim who. was nearer the surface. People locked to the spot from all parts of the town and the presence of such a vast number of spectators thaf crowd cd about had something to do with retarding the efforts of the men, but withal they worked like beavers and succeeded in extricating one of the parties in time to save his life. The other man was buried at least two or three feet under the sand and mo- body knew exactly where he was, but space large enough was dug SO that TO time was lost hunting for the spot. When the man was taken out he was dead, in fact 1t Is probable that he didn't live over few minutes after the cave-in.
 He was 22 years of age and his number on the payroll was 25. Med ical Examiner Graves viewed the body and gave permission for Its re- moval to Mancint & Ruggiero's un- dertaking rooms.
 The other man soon recovered fro mthe shock and after dusting the sand off His clothes he was able to walk home.
 e Thomas McHugh has charge of the steam shovel and as soon as the acci detn occurred he hustled about and did all in his power to prevent any loss of life. It was one of these things that happen from time to time on such jobs and for which 1t would seem nobody is to blame. It is thought that the recent heavy rains had some thing to do in softening the bank and cause 1t to come. It was not steep or top heavy and consequently none of the men were on the lookout for what had happened. Some of the men quit work after the body was taken out of the sand. but others turned in and started to shovel away as though nothing out of the way had occurred.

CRAZY PIPE ORGAN.
Neighbors Complain to Health De-
 partment of Unearthly Noises.

New York, Aug 8.-The pipe or gan in John D. Rockefeller's Fifth Avenue Baptist church is being com plained of by some rich. residents who are trying to pass the summer in New York in peace and quiet. AL though the church is closed and Mir Rockefeller is away, the organ is the busiest thing on Murray Hill If it played hymns or even popular airs, neighbors say, it would not be so bad. But the organ keeps blowing out massive discords by the hour, and whoever is playing it seems to be trying to see how many different kinds of noises can be made at once.
 "A crazy calliope," the organ is called. Some say it is "daffy."
 One indignant rich man near the church has wyitten to the health de- pertinent asking the officials to squelch the organ. Every afternoon, about ? o'clock. he says, the organ begins and the racket proceeds hour after hour. The organist, he says, plays one note for five minutes at time as loud as possible, and then begins to chase himself up and down the keyboard.
 The rich mans wife. he says, is being driven to distraction by the noise. There is no such thing as taking nap while the mighty or gan is at work. Other people in the vicinity are also kicking.
 Inquiry yesterday afternoon at the Fifth Avenue Baptist church brought the information. from man who came out of the church in his shirt sleeves, that Mir Shelly. the organist, was out of town. He would not say who was playing the organ.
 "Shose people should send their complaints here and sign their names" he said.

 1T II FOR YEARS. Bank President Plundsrsd His Own
 Bank Frequently and
 Systematically. OVER s1OOO,00O.WAS TAKEN
Twenty-two Thousand Depositor. Are tho Greatest
 Sufferers.

Chicago. Aug N-The Tribune says: "A state of affairs more start. ling and shocking than had been hinted previously in connection with the collapse of the Milwaukee Ave nue State bank was revealed last nigh- when it became plain that through barefaced forgery President Paul o. Stensland had plundered his own bank systematically through a period of years.
 "The question arose whether Cash fer Henry w. Herring profitcd to any large extent by this plundering. His friends say he did not, though ac- knowledging that he may have had knowledge of what Stensland was do- ing.
 At any rate, there has been dis covered in President Stensland's safe ty deposit vault box series of mem- oranda detailing how the bank was footed. The amount thus taken from the savings Of 22,000 poor families, as set down in Stensland's handwrit- ing, Is s1,003,000. The money went to support Stensland's real estate speculations, his cooperative build- ing and loan business, and his fine household in Irving park.
 The Tribune's informant saw the memorandum of forgeries, memoran- dun notes, and other fictitious paper which the fugitive president and cashire left behind them. The thefts consist of nearly 200 items. ranging from $1,00O to $15,00O each. The names forged are of directors and stockholders in the bank and of per sons associated with Stensland in other business ventures. Some dummy names are there, too.
 If the entire amount of $1,003,. 900 Is found on investigation to be composed wholly of forgeries, of course no part of 1t can be recovered. This discrepancy alone will mean the loss to each depositor of one-fourth of his savings It is furthermore fear ed that Stensland may have taken with him in his flight a large supply of the banks cash"
