LEGAL ENTANGLEMENTS.
Receiver Asked for Milwaukee Ave-
nue. Cooperative Store.

Chicago, Aug 10.-The first step in
the dissolution of outside companies
with which Paul o. Stensland, the
missing president of the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank, is identified was
taken today when a petition in invol
untary bankruptcy was filed against
the Milwaukee Avenue Cooperative
store by attorneys representing a State
street department store. The petition
was filed before Judge Bethea and ar
rangements were made by him to ap-
point a receiver under the order as soon
as possible. Notice was given the CO.
operative store today by an attorney
representing three New York creditors
that he intended to take similar action
but in view of the filing of the petition
by the local concern it is now probable
that the creditors will join with the
petitioners now before the court.
The stockholders of the Milwaukee
avenue store number 5000 persons,
many of them workmen, holders of
shares of SO each. The individual La
bility of these shareholders, it is
claimed, is a mooted point and it may
be that the court will hold that the
creditors of the company have recourse
upon the individual property of them
all.
Herring at the Bank.
Henry w. Herring, cashier of the sus-
pended bank, was today taken OF the
institution he is alleged to have helped
ruin. He was taken to the bank by
two detectives and every precaution
was used to get him inside the build
ing without the knowledge of the sew
eral persons who were around the
place. Safe inside the bank, Cashier
Herring Immediately began to direct the
authorities around to the different
vaults and secret chests.
Application for the appointment OF a
receiver for the Milwaukee avenue
store met with strong opposition. An
attorney for Receiver John c. PETER
declared that the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank had a large interest in the
concern and that Receiver Fetzer de-
sired to complete his investigation be-
fore any action which would tie uD the
assets of the store. be taken. The case
was continued until next Tuesday.

Frank P. Schmidt was appointed spe-
cial master IN chancery in the litiga-
ton resulting from the suspension of
the Milwaukee Avenue State bank by
Judge Brentano in the superior court
today. Mr.. Schmidt's appointment
was made at the request of Receiver
Fetzer who filed a petition with the
court asking for the appointment. An
intervening petition was also filed in
the same court by the Polish National
Alliance of North America, which orr
ganization had deposited in the closed
bank, 1t is claimed, more than $4S 900.
The court was asked in the petition to

A New Customer.

Washington. Aug. 1O.-Chinese labor will
be given thorough test on the Panama
canal. Contracts calling for $500 Chinese
for canal work have been prepared, and
advertisements will be issued by the
lSthmldn canal commission in a few days
asking for proposals from labor agents.
III the initial 900 Cinnamon prove a
success, it is likely that many more will
be taken to the isthmus to do the work,
which is too hard for the Jamaicans now
employed there in large numbers.
Chinese the Last Hope.
Organized labor has offered much CD
position to the use of contract Chinese
labor but the jamaican workmen have
proven inadequate, sufficient SpaniardS
cannot be had Immediately to rush the
work, and the Chinese are the last hope
of the commission.
President Roosevelt. Secretary Taft,
Chairman Shonts of the canal commits
sion and other men prominently identified
with the canal work are known to have
evident that the other help available was
not equal TO the demands. The admins
tration has taken the position that the
canal must be dug at any cost and al
no haste in employing Chinese, he did
not stand permanently in the way of the
plan to try the coolies.
Will Ask for Bids.
1t is the intention of the commission
to ask for bids from labor agent who
will arrange with the Chinese govern
ment for the expectation of labor trans
port the Chinese to the isthmus under
contract TO work for a fixed wage, and
ship them back to China, thus relieving
the commission of all detail work and all
responsibility A bond will be required
of all contractors for a satisfactory fui-
fillment of any contract they may en-
ter into with the commission
The employment of the Chinese will
not displace the Jamaicans, who are al
ready there, but it is not likely that many
more West Indian negroes will be hired
if the Chinese prove a success.

the bank failed Kowalski had 500 of
his own money on deposit in the insti-
tuition, and his immediate relatives
