the emperor's approval of the appointments
of Prince Vassilchoff as minister of agrf-
culture, NJ. FilossofofY as minister of COM
merce and NJ Iswolsky, brother of the for
elgn minister, as procurator general of
the holy synod.
Prince Vassilchikoff is marshal of the
nobility of Novgorod. NJ. Filossofoff was
controller of the empire under Count Witte.
NJ. Isowolsl<y is now assistant minister Of
education.
The Rossia, Premier Stolypins organ ex-
planning today the failure of Count Heyden
and others to enter the cabinet, says that
the emperor does not recognize the prin-
ciple OF the responsibility of the ministry,
and therefore declines to permit candidates
for portfolios to dictate terms.
AT the same time, the emperor admits
the desirability of the cooperation of the
non-bureaucratic elements in the Inaugural
tion of policy which will have due regard
for the national economic and ethical in
terests of the whole people.
The Rossia declares that the time Is ap-
preaching when the sober minded who
really wish to save the state will cut loose
entirely from the revolutionists, open or
disguised, and rally to the side of the gov
ernment.

BAREFACED FORGERY.
Details Of the Bank Wrecking by the
Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO. August s.-The Tribune today
says:
"A state of affairs more startling and
shocking than had been hinted previously
in connection with the collapse of the Mil
waukee Avenue State Bank was revealed
last night when 1t became plain that
through barefaced forgery President Paul
o. Stensland had plundered his own bank
Systematically through period of years.
THE question arose whether Cashier
Henry w. Herring profited to any large ex-
tent by this plundering. His friends say
he did not, though acknowledging that he
may have had knowledge of what Stensland
was doing.
"At any rate there has been discovered
in President Stensland's safety deposit
vault box series of memoranda detailing
how the bank was looted.
THE amount thus taken from the saw
lngs OF 220OO poor families, as set down in
Stensland's handwriting. Is 81 1,OO3 600. The
money went to support Stensland's real
estate speculations, his cooperative build
ing business and his fine household in Irv-
ing Park.
According to the police some of 1t also
went latterly for luxuries for certain wo-
man or women friends of Stenslands
1T was intimated that when the bank
president fed he was accompanied by a
divorced woman, who still is with him.
Information about the long list of for
geries. with detailed corroboration was OBJ
taiHSu ny the tribune from a source or un-
| impeachable authority. The Tribune's in
| formant saw the memorandum of forgeries,
memorandum notes and other fictitious
| paper which the fugitive president and
| cashier left behind them. The thiefs con-
| sist of nearly 200 items, ranging from
| 81, 600 to $4,000 each. The names forged
| are those Of directors and stockholders in
| the bank and of persons associated with
Stensland in other business ventures, Some
dummy names are there too.
IF the entire amount Of $,O03 600 is
| found on investigation to be composed
wholly OF forgerfes, of course no part of it
| can be recovered. This discrepany alone
| will mean the loss to each depositor of one
| fourth of his savings. 1t is Furthermore
| feared that Stensland may have taken with
him in his flight large supply of the
| banks cash."

FIRST FAMILY STRIKE
WOMEN IN UNIQUE LABOR SIT.
UATIoN IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, August 8.-The first fam
lily strike to be recorded In the labor move
ment in Chicago was ordered yesterday,
when 260 mattresses voted to go to the aid
of their husbands to win an increase in
wages demanded by window washers in
large buildings downtown.
Mrs. Felicia Prendergast turned the tide
Of sentiment in the janitress' meeting.
Several speakers pointed out that the wives
of the strikers ought to stay at work and
earn a living for their husbands while the
latter were out of work.
''That is a false doctrine" objected Mrs.
Prendergast. women are supposed to be
helpmates of their husbands, but they are
not their slaves. Moreover, I believe we
can assist them better by refusing to scrub
the floors and stairways in the big Office
blocks"
The vote was practically unanimous in
favor of laying down mops and brooms in
twenty skyscrapers tomorrow morning.

day refused the writ sought by the Denver
City Tramway Company and the Denver
Gas and Electric Company to stay proceed
ings in the franchise election contest In

Sheriff Alexander Nisbet thereupon per-
sonally took possession OF the ballot boxes
which the city election commission had re-
fused to surrender, on the order of County
Judge Lindsay, and the hearing was re-
sumed in the county court.

the county court was without jurisdiction
over the contest. Judge Bailey decided tha
the charter confers on the county court tn,
right to hear election contests and that II
was contrary to the practice of the supreme
court to interfere in such a proceeding by
writ of supersedas

announced that the state would not have
the benefit of the $500, ,O0O bond sale award
ed to a Chicago firm on July 2. A repre-
sentative of the firm came here and ten
dered certified checks to Gov. Vardaman
for the amount of the bid, including a pre-
MUM of 81 600.
The governor declined to accept the
checks, but demanded payment in cur
rency under the law, which the firm de-
clined to give. AS a result the deal is off
for the present and will not be renewed
unless the governor or firm makes conces-
sions as to exchange. The bidders hold
that their bid contemplated payment in
checks, and not in currency, with delivery
of bonds in Chicago. The governor holds
the firms checks for $4,000 as a forfeit.
