President Stcnsland and Chasler Her Ing Are Fugitives One Depositor Drops Duad While Another Kills Himself Riotous Scenes Follow. Chicago, Auk. 7. With a deficit In Its accounts estimated close to a mll-j lion dollars, nnd with the whereabouts if t IV 1 nf If c I I tr limit 'ifTIttfilu iittlMwitt'it ' w .. v v nirjiitii. wiuvsiaio li4inivj to the authorities, the Milwaukee Ave nue State bank, one of the largest out lying banks In the city, was closed by State Bank. ISxainlnor O. 0. .Jones. The fullmc was responsible for tbo death of one of the depositors and led to the suicide of another man who a month ago had placed his earnings of a lifetime In the Institution for safe Keeping. In the excitement following the announccu nt of the failure J. G. Vlsser, an official of the Royal league, who hnd on deposit In the bank funds of that organization, fell dead of heart failure. Henry Koepke, a small grocer, on hearing that the bank had sus pended payment, wont to the rear of his store and shot himself. lie died a few minutes Inter while being re moved to a hospital. Riotous scenes followed the an nouncement of the failure, and a large force of police struggled all day to: lieep an excited crowd of depositors I nearly all of them foreigners nndj many of them women from bursting' in the 'doors of the institution. The fact that the bank was on the verge' of fnilure was first revealed by l'resl , dent Paul O. Stcnsland, one of the ab ! sent officials. A letter to his son, Theoi dore, who Is vice president, written from St. Paul and received last Satur : day, started the Investigation which l)rought about the suspension. Anothei i sensational feature of the affair wasj the disappearance of the cashier, Henry W. Hcrlng, and the Issuing of a. warrant for his arrest on a charge of embozzlement. A message ordering his apprehension was sent to every po lice station in the city. The news spread rapidly throughout the entire northwest side of the city, where the bank has been for years a popular depository for funds saved by working people. Soon a clamorous crowd gathered before the doors and demanded admission. Antfclpatlng trouble, a score of police was hurried to the scene. The people were permit ted to file past the doors bearing tha posted notice and were compelled to Itcep moving. Only those having keys to, Fufuty deposit vaults wore allowed to enter. Many burst Into tenrs when they found that their savings were en dangered or lost. Vlsser, to whom tbo shock proved fatal, was several blocks from the bank. Hearing the rumor ho fitepped into a drug store seeking par ticulars. He fell dead when assured that the bank had failed. An examination of the bank's affairs was begun quietly last Saturday after receipt of the letter from President Stcnsland. Acting upon Instructions contained theiein Vice President Theo dore Stcnsland opened a deposit box nnd discovered proofs flint the bank funds were in bnd shape. President Potter, of the American Trust nnd Savings bank, which acted as clearing ngent for the defunct Institution, was called Into consultation. The state au ditor was notified and immediately sent Bank Examiner Jones to mako a full Investigation. Fictitious notes to the amount of $700,000 are said to figure In the story of the baulks troubles. Disastrous speculation In real estate and In the Bocurlty market Is said to be respon sible. The Institution was known as n "family bank." The Stcnsland family, for years well known resident s of the northwest side, owned much of tbo stock, and members of the family oper ated the bank. It was organized In 1S91 with a paid up capital of $2ri0.noo. A statement made by Vice President Stcnsland showed Sl.n," 1.000 In cash on hand. He said that the bank car ried deposits or $1,200,000 and hnd 22,000 depositors. Nine Inches of Rain In Texas. Houston, Aug. 7.

"-In the light i of developments the general strike may almost bo regarded as a fiasco. ! i The summons to go out has mot somo ' 1 response In Moscow, where the print-1 I ers and the street car men and part j i of the employes of the gns, water and electric light plants quit work, but rnniimu stolvpix. these are more than offset by the de fections In St. Petersburg. An enthu siastic acceptance to tbo order to strike Is nowhere recorded. Even In the Donetz mining district, where practically nil the miners are already out, the factory hands declined to strike. The revolutionists may yet possibly be saved by the railroad men, but the central committees of tho railroad , - I men have not yet reached a final do- cision, nnd up to the present time, In spite of the frantic efforts of the agl- tntors, not a singlo important line of i tho empire is affected. mo organizers or tho strike nro In despair over the prospects of failure.

A mob ol 3,000 men last night forcibly entered Rowan county jail at Salisbury, re moved therefrom three of tho five no groes charged with tho murder of tho lyerly family at Barber Junction, July 13, and lynched them. Nensc and John Gillespie and Jnck Dillingham, sup posed to be tho principals In tha crime, were the victims of mob ven geance. The remaining negroes, Henry Lee, George Envln nnd Bella Dilllng ham, were not molested. Tho mob began gathering at sun down. Mayor Boyden promptly or dered the saloons closed and with other prominent citizens, Senator Overman, Judge Iong, who was to try the negroes, and Solicitor Hammer, gathered on tho jail steps and address ed the crowd, which at that time num bered 2,000. There were howls and cat-calls from the mob, but for a time there was no move the mob lacked a leader. While citizens were appealing to the mob two men slipped through tho crowd nnd attempted to break In tho jail doors with hammers. They were discovered and arrested. About 9 o'clock Mayor Boyden called upon tho local militia company for aid. They assembled quickly, but wera tiiey nssemuieu quiCKiy, out wera SUppHe(l only wIth bIank cartridges, having no orders to shoot to kill. Fire man McLendon of Charlotte, a South ern railway employe, was shot and fatally wounded by n member of the mob. Will Troutman, a nogro dray man, was also shot and seriously wounded. Both of tho shootings arc claimed to have been accidental. At 10 o'clock tho mob was aug mented by fully 500 men, who came, It Is said from Whitney. It was but a fow minutes after their arrival when a crowd of fifty, forming a sort of fly ing wedge, made a rish for the jail doors, overpowered the officers and ef fected an entrance. The great crowd outside surged In behind the leaders nnd In a fow moments more emerged from the door with their victims nnd marched northward. A halt was made at Henderson's ball grounds on tho edge of town. There tbo negroes were given time to con fess tho crime. They refused either to deny or confess, and were so thor oughly frightened as almost to have lost the power of speech. John Gil lespie wept plteously and begged for his life. Finally at midnight the throe I were strung up to the limbs of ono treo and with howls and curses the crowd riddled the dangling bodies with bullets. The mob then dispersed. WESTERN CONGRESS TO MEET.
