a. I did not offer myself TO the
committee except under this condi-
ton: The newspapers were sneering

against the dispensary and suggested

before the committee and tell what he
knows. I had been making speeches

the committee whenever they wanted
me.

phasize. At the time YOU offered
Yourself to the committee you did not
have as much information as you
have now?
A. No.
Q. Your idea in coming before the
committee was to make a speech be-
fore the committee, was it? Or to
testify to facts which YOU yourself
we're acquainted with?
\. | did not feel like making a
speech. l have plenty Of opportuni-
ties to make speeches.
y. You will please answer my
question. senator.
a. | had no purpose to make a
speech. because | would not have an
audience and | cannot talk very we'll

@. Was it Your desire to appear
before the committee and testify as to

A. I certainly would not state
anything that we're not facts or as |
believe them to be.
O. Your intention in coming be-
fore the committee was for what pur-
pose?

they might get at the truth.

ing this article is the list of deaths
directly due to the lotting of the
Milwaukee-avenue State Bank. The
constituencies thieves who stole
their money also took the lives of
these men.
Two victims have been commit
ted to an insane asylum.
Tragic, of coursee, but these
cases give evidence of small part
of the misery and suffering brought
to the industrious and thrifty peo-
pie of northwest Chicago.
There was the sweat of toll on
every dollar Of the million that
the bank thieves squandered on
women, in high living and at the
race track. The vast sum was
made up Of little boards that had
for years been scraped together at
the rate of dollar or two a week.

sort of toll, but of sacrifice and
self denial. Therein were center
ed the ideals and ambitions of these
workers.
In a vast majority of cases there
was the dream of getting together
sufficient for the purchase of a
hOme-a cottaget In the suburbs
that would afford escape from the
sitting tenements. There was the
ambition to educate the children
that, instead of enduring the drudg-
cry of their parents, they might ri
val the American young people who
prospered so in the higher classes
of employment and in the profess
sions.

these men that were stolen by
Stensland. 1t was to the homes of
more than 10000 of the Industrious,
economical poor that he brought
misery.
The greater number of them are
foreigners, the men who do the
rough, heavy, body destroying
work In the upbuilding of the city.
They are Norwegians, Poles, Ital-
ians, Germans and Swiss. There
are American victims, hundreds of
them, but the bulk of the losers
are the oppressed from across the
Atlantic who are Just establishing
themselves in the new land.
When the bank closed, the men
were at work, while the women
were busy with their household dill
ties. The news caused a thrill of
horror to sweep over the section.
i've minutes after the doors closed
women were fiocking to the bank
IN frantic endeavOr to save their
money from the wreck. In half an
hour they had assembled by thous-
ands.
A more pathetic sight has not
been witnessed in Chicago. Bare
headed, infants in arms and with
children clinging to their skirts,
they begged and implored that the
savings for which they worked so
hard and so long be returned to

them. With streaming eyes they
told of sick husbands, of pressing
debts, of evictions, of distress that
must come to them and their chill
dren if this money, upon which all
depended, should be withheld from
them.
An old men with patriarchal
beard, knelt in the mud of the
street and prayed God not to de-
sert him in this extremity. There
was no mockery. Instead, appeals
in many languages in the name of
several religions, were made to the
Great Power for help.
All day the hot, struggling, help
less crowd surged against the iron
barred doors of the bank. A wom
an bewailed the loss of $24 she had
saved during the summer that her
son might attend school in the win
ter. A couple past 20 years of age
had in the bank $500, and it was
all that stood between them and
the poorhouse. A stalwart young
Italian and his bride lamented the
loss of money with which they
were about to furnish a home.

years, and two days before the
failure had realized, by the deposit
of the final $40, her great ambition
to have $1,000 in bank Mrs. John
Postiski's husband died a year ago,
leaving $500. She and her baby
had promptly been turned from the
house where she boarded when the
bank failed.
Scores of children tearfully
pleaded for the little boards that
had grown from their penny saw
ings. There were victims on
clutches and pale and haggard men
and women who had dragged them
selves from sick beds to see what
could be done.
Late that night two tragic figures
seeking shelter under an awning
typified the misery that had been
brought to the section. Nellie
Novak, thin and wan from the eff
feet of long years of hard work
and illness, said her stepfather had
turned her out. She had worked in
tobacco factory. She contracted
consumption and was obliged to
spend months in hospital. She
left there only a week before the
failure. Too sick to work. her
sole dependence was $3.50 that re-
of her savings, and with
the closing of the bank she had
been told that she must find an.

she to do? The question was ask

domestic and assistant to a tailor,

she said, "she put my things on the
steps, where | found them when l

In different forms there were
hundreds of tragedies as great.
Days following the failure only
accentuated the misery. With the
plans of lifetime overthrow In a
moment, the people are aimless and
almost hopeless. Many men who
were thrifty have turned to dissipa-
ton. They scott at those who
would check them and ask why
they should make sacrifices and
save money only to have it stolen
by the rich. There has arisen dis
trust of banks among thousands
besides the victims, and money that
is not spent for extravagant living
is being hidden.

be he'll get a few years in prison.
