NO POSTMASTER
FOR Ell PASO
In Five Days More There viii Be
Nobody at the Head Of
Affairs.

But three days more remain before
Ell Paso will be without a postmaster
unless the department In Washington
gets busy in the meantime and an
nounces the appointment, either tenn
porary or permanent, of some one to
relieve the present director OF the al
fairs of the office, J. f. Kachler.
Mr.. Kachler resigned some time ago
as assistant postmaster. naming June
as the day of his retirement. About
the same time 1t was announced that
r, B. Olshausen, the postmaster. who
is in California for his health, also had
resigned. Mr.. Kachler is insistent that
he wants to leave the Office by June
| 1, but it is now perilously close to that
day and no intimatlon has come to MIN
of what will be done to relieve the
| situation.
In the meantime the active canvass
which is being made for the support
of persons influential, by the two can
didates for the appointment as post.
master, ]. A. Smith and Scott White,
offers a possible solution OF the mat
ter, in that the appointment OF one OF
these may be made before the expira
tion of Mr.. Kachlers tenure. 1t may
be that temporary appointment will
be made and that the appointee will
not be either OF the two applicants fol-
the Office.
Still another contingency is that an
appointment will be withheld for some
time and that Mr.. Kachler will be, per
force, compelled to remain in the OF
flee for some time more, unless post
master Olshausen gets well enough
to come back. In this event Mr.. Kach
Ter will probably dispatch communl
cation to Washington indicating tt
them the urgency of his desire to leave
the Office at once and putting the mat
, ter up to them for immediate action
1t is said that some of the bondsmel
: Of the postmaster have 1t understood
with him, that they are to take charg'

VICTORY FOR SENATOR cuLLom

Primaries by 4o,000 Plurality.

Springfield, lll.-Additional returns
on the advisory vote for Unit

reports and indicate Senator Cullom' s
plurality in the state may be con.
servatively estimated at 10000. SEN
ator Cullom's plurality in Cook coun-
ty is 16,477. The returns show that he
not only will have a plurality of the
popular vote in the state, but that he
has carried Al out of 81 senatorial dis.
tricts. Some of the districts which on
the face of the returns have been car
ried by Yates are his by small plurali.
ties and may be thrown into the Gull
lom column by the official canvass.
Moreover. Senator Cullom appears
to have complete control of the state
convention for the purpose of sena-
torial instructions. Yates has lost
the popular vote in the state at large.
he has lost four-fifths of the senatorial
districts and he has no chance to Sc.

is violation OF state banking laws
The special charge is, receiving de-
posts although knowing that the bank
was insolvent. This under the state
banking act constitutes embezzlement.
The warrant says: Paul o. Stensland,
being the president of the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank, said bank being a
regularly incorporated state bank and
doing business under the laws of the
state of Illinois, willfully, knowingly,
fraudulently and with malice afore-
thought received certain deposits after
the bank was insolvent of which fact

While crowds again besieged the
bank doors Tuesday, only to find them
still closed, Bank Examiner Jones re-
sumed the investigation of the rec
ords of the bank to uncover the details
of years of alleged irregularities that
have startled the banking world of
Chicago. Directors of the bank, de-
claring themselves deceived, are de-
handing that President Stensland
show himself. With the statement
from the bank examiner that Presi-
dent Stensland had guilty knowledge
of his banks looting has come their
first glimpse of his duplicity.
Evidence Of Great Irregularities.
1t is known there have been many
irregularities, the disclosure of which
will tell the history of the plundering
OF the savings depository of the poor
on the northwest side. There have
been embellishments. Money has been
loaned on worthless security. Bun.

cumber the low. dark vaults of the
bank. Evidence confirmatory of the
fact that 100000 in forged notes have
been uncovered, is coming to light
Thousands of dollars have been dor

Details of how President Stensland
himself brought the expose of the
ruin of his bank are becoming pub.

vice president of the bank, sent from
st. Paul, Mimi, the elder Stensland
said things are wrong at the bank,

the clearing house association into
