Chicago, Aug. 8. — Theodore -Stene-
land. vice president of the Milwaukee
Avenue Stale bank, was arrested late
yesterday afternoon on a charge of vio­
lating tbe banking laws of the state.
Earlier in the day the institution was
placed in the har ds of a receiver and
Paul O. Stensiand, president of the
bank, and father of the vice president,
aiao Cashier Hening, were officially
declared fugitives from justice and
their personal descriptions placed in
the hands of the police throughout the
country. This action was taken by the
authorities after developments had
shown that the finances of tbe failed
institution were in a deplorable condi­
tion and had been for a number of
years. Even the safety boxes, owned
and rented by the bank, bad been
tampered with and rifled.
The day’s developments were pro­
ductive of the first ray of hope for the
depositors, who believed their savings
of years swept away in the wreck.
David R. Forgan, vice president of the
First National bank, and one of those
to whom the state of the defunct bank’s
affairs had been laid bare, declared
that probably 70 cents on the dollar
would be paid in the final adjustment.
