 Possibly More.
 Springeld, H.. Aug. IS.--Rank Exam iner Jones, in his report to the Auditor of Public Accounts on the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank of Chicago. which was received by the Auditor today and given toNthe press, estimates the total defalcations through the manipulation from the affairs of the bank by Presi. dent Stensiand. to be $l,000.000. and possibly more. He says the closing of the bank was the consummation Of a career the most remarkable, and. in hts opinion. the best concealed, in the history Of banking. On his examina- appeared to be satisfactory, but 1t has since developed that in the figures were many questionable and forged notes, the exact amount of which nobody but the President or Cashier can determine
 He is of the opinion that MT. Alsberg, the chief clerk; Frank Kowalski, the assistant paying teller, who has since committed suicide; John Gullinskin, the receiving teller, and Mir Esdohr, the paying teller, and without doubt others of the employees of the bank. had guilty knowledge of many things which were not divulged by the directors to him. MT. Jones declares that Cashier Herin, In swearing to the statement of Janu- ary 30. 1906, perjured himself to the extent of S184,S39, and in the April statement to the amount of $202.12s.
 Cashier Herring, he says, denied forg- ing the notes and falling to duplicate President Stensland, gave to under stand that an Italian named Deniario, employed in the bank. had been the guilty party and that StensIand had given him s6,000. States Attorney Healy learns that Demario is now in Italy.
 Mir Jones finds that the steel-BalI obligations aggregated $1s0.000 and that they will not pay ten cents on the dol lar. The P. 0. stensland paper aggre- gates $145.000. according to his exam ination and the paper of the Milwaukee Avenue Co-OperatIve stores and its ramincations, the sum of $7sO00. The capi.cl stock Of the bank, amounting to $250,000, and the surplus and undivided profits of S300.000 are wiped out and there is still a dehciency of S450 900. These notes which carried this deficit were forged paper. or, to say the least, paper which was questionable
 The loss has been divided as follows: Forged and worthless paper, S466. 800; questionable paper, if not forged, .S2CO,- O00; Steel-Ball losses s1S0.00O; real es- tate losses. $15S.000.
 MT. Jones considers it one of the most remarkable examples in banking that crookedness on such a scale could hA concealed.
