IN AN INTERVIEW
"The failure of the Milwaukee Avenue
State Bank in Chicago is not even sec
ondary in . its far reaching evil
to ttu passng of the Walsh
Chicago National Bank a ccuple of
months ago."
This was the statement of an old Chi
cago newspaper man, who is in La Grande
today. Continuing the discussion of the
)&Visland failure, this man who has been
importer at the police headquarters in
Chicago for twelve years said:
"The Stensland Bank was situated in
one of the poorer districts in Chicago.
Because the foreign languages were talk ed
by its tellers many imigrants, knowing
nothing of English, deposited the savings
in this bank."
"Stensland was the most prominent
Scandinavian in Chicago. His word was
law with the little investor, and it is said
' that he sold more homes to foreigners
than any one man in Chicago."
"His position was such that the foreign
working element had every confidence in
him His rower was fat reaching out
aide of the world of fi.ianca. In
solved the mystery of the car brn murd
ers and sent the cowaroly assassins or
eisht neonle to the scaffold. He also

land chances of defeating justice are slim
when one weighs in the balance the fact
that Schuetrler is after him."
