Hering, cashier of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, which closed ite doore Monday, was arrested yesterday and w ill be re Hoaebuda. nection with ihe disappearance of near ly $1,000,000 of the bank’ a funds is cleared np. Paul O. Stensland, presi dent of tbe defunct institution, is still a fugitive, and, although nearly 100 detectives are searching for him , hie whereabouts is as much of a mystery as ever. Hering was arrested yesterday after noon, two hours after the tim e be had previously promised be would give himself up. He was taken at once to the office of Chief of Police Colline and put through a thorough examination ae to his knowledge of President Stens- tand’ s mismanagement of the institu tion. Hering declared he did not know where Stensland was and had had no communiciation with him for over a week. The cashier etrenuonely denied the charge that he himself was partly reeponsib'e for the failuro of the bank. Hering maintains that, if he is guilty of breaking the banking laws oi Illi noie, Stensland ia responsible, as Her ing in his examination declared he never benefitted a single dollar by Stensland’ s peculiar sysleui of banking. Bank Exam iner Jones and Assistant United States Attorney Gleason were present during the examination of Her ing. Neither they nor the police offi cials were satisfied with his explanation of his connection with the collapse ol the hank, and it was accordingly decid ed to refuse bail until the matter had been further investigaed.

Washnigton, Aug. 10.— For the first time in 13 years the government an nounced today its purpose to purchase silver for coinage purposes.

One afternoon he almost determined to run away home and tell mother nil about It. He wondered If people cared tbe same when they were sick, and If she were nble to take him on her knee and smooth It all out. From thinking these things It pres ently seemed quite right to take the trip.

When this was decided upon, there seemed nothing to be feared, and he went at once to the kitchen to see what bo could find. He planned to start the next morning, and aa he m ight not have an opportunity to take food then, he decided to hide It In the barn. He found an old box, and in It he placed two slices o f bread, three dough nuts and a piece o f cake. H e also put 111 a small tin dipper that grandmother had given him to pick berries In. H e crept out at the back door and found hi* way to the hay loft. There was a long tunnel In the hay that he had built the day before, and Into this he crawled and hid away the box. He was sure now o f overcoming all obstacles, and so he thoughc he would enjoy him self. H e began a play he knew very well— hunting for ilgers In an African Jungle, it Is a pleasant game for lone ly little hoys, and a haymow Is an ex cellent place to play It. Jerry crawled farther away Into the bay, and Just us In Imagination he was coming upon a tiger, he felt tbe hay settling beneath Ills feet, and he began to slide down— down. He called out, but no one heard, and when his feet at last came to the ground, he found himself In a small room that appar ently had been once a stall. There was a rude sort o f door, and against this he pushed with all Ills strength, but It re fused to give way. H e was terribly frightened, fo r he did not know how far he might be from the front o f the burn, and he knew I f he could not make bis presence known he would be In a worse plight than feering lonely In his neat little bed In the porch cham ber. There was a small window high above hi* head, and with all hi* strength he called again and again. The shadow* began to fall, and fa r away he heard the cattle come Into the barn and dis tant rumbling o f cart*. A fte r a time tills died away, and all was still. He tiling himself down on the rough board* and cried with all the bltterne** o f eight year*. It was a great mauy hour* later when the sound o f loud bell-rlnglng woke him, and there was the flash o f lanterns In the small window. He knew then that they were looking for him, and he called out. This time he was heard, for the men were passing the back o f the barn on their way to the wood. It was not long before he was back In grandma'» kitchen, sitting on her lap and telling her all about It, even about tbe box o f food, and why It was hidden lu the hay. “ That would have been too had,” aald grandma, when »he had heard how much better it seemed now to tie on her knee than going hack to the city, "because motber Is coming to-morrow, anil father is coming Saturdays, Just a* he used to do.
