 Complete the Case But
 Rendering of Judgment.

Pittsburg, Aug. 7.-The now famous divorce trial of Augustus Hartje has been closed. With a brief and impas- stoned address /. by Attorney J. Scott Ferguson the curtain dropped today. Immediately Mrs Hartje was sur rounded by attorneys and friends. Hartje sat in the. court today under "a storm of biting. stinging criticism from Attorney Freeman, who made the closing argument for Mrs. Hartie.
 Hartje, who showed emotion yester- day when the children were referred to. sat stolidly as an image today when Freeman accused him of being the for ger of the alleged love letters from Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje to Tom Ma dine and the handspring of the alleged conspiracy to blacken his wife's name

I am going on my vacation now and won't be back until the Saturday before the first of September. I will take up this case after that. My decision may not be given until late in the fal'

Chicago Aug 7.-Theodore Stems land, vice-p president of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank. was arrested late this afternoon on a charge of violating the banking laws of the state. Earlier in the day the institution was placed in the hands of a receiver. and Paul O. Stensland, president of the bank and father of the vice-president, together with Cashier Herring. were officially de- clared fugitives from justice and their descriptions were placed in the hands of the police throughout the country.
 This action was taken by the au- thorities after developments today had shown that the finances of the bank were in deplorable condition, and had been for a number of years. Beside the discovery of many irregularities in the management of the bank, it was found that even the safety deposit boxes owned and rented by the bank had been tempered with and rifled.
 The specific charge on which Theo- dore Stensland was arrested was that of having accepted deposits at the bank when he knew the institution to be in- solvent. The arrest was made in the office of Chief of Police Collins. where Stensland had gone to confer with the head of the police department. Later in the day Jacob J. Kerr. former states attorney. signed bonds of $50O0 for the release of Theodore Stensland.
 The promises held out yesterday that the elder Stensland would appear in Chicago today were unfulfiiled, and it is the belief of the police. based upon dispatches from several northern cities, that he has fled to Canada. Cashier Herring is thought to have reached the dominion by another route.
 The days developments were produc- tive of the first ray of hope for the de-

NO LIVES LOST
 IN. TEXAS FLOODS
The Reports of the DOwnpOur Were
 Greatly Exaggerated.

Fort Worth, Texas. Aug. 7--AccOrd- ing to advices received here west cen traI Texas was visited by torrential rains, considerable damage done to crops and railway traffic badly crip- pIed However, no casualties so far as known have occurred and the first reports sent out, it is believed, were greatly exaggerated.
 Traffic on the Lampasas branch of the Santa Fe system is suspended be cause of washouts. Several bridges were rendered unsafe, but none were actually washed away.
 At Brownwood, Pecan bayou, which flows into the Colorado river. rose so rapidly that some of the people living in the lowlands had to flee for safety. There were several narrow escapes but no casualties. About six miles of the track of the Santa Fe has been washed out.
 At Ballinger some damage was done and the Concho river rose to a higher stage than for years.
 At San Angelo 1t was said that a family of five has perished, but this was an error. They escaped from their homes during the night in advance of the flood and reached land safely.
 At Denison, in the extreme northern edge of the central portion of the state the rains almost amounted to a deluge.
 Dallas. Texas. Aug. "A special to the News from San Angelo county shows that the first reports of flood damage were greatly exaggerated. The Colorado and ConchO rivers are sub siding. Ranchmen have lost many head of cattle horses and sheep and in the Broolwood section crops on the lowlands have been ruined.
 The Santa Fe railway expects to have its bridges repaired by tomorrow. No lives have been lost.
