Their resolution was as follows: "Whereas the hanks of Chicago have a special anil peculiar interest In securing the conviction ami punishment of persons guilty of forgery, defalcation and other like crimes when such offenders are Chicago hank officials; and, "Whereas, Paul (). Stensland, president of the Milwaukee Avenue, State Hank, is accused of such crimes on apparently good grounds and is a fugitive from justice: "Resolved, that the clearing house he and it hereby is authorized and directed to offer and pay in behalf of this association a reward of $,"(.000 for the apprehension and delivery into the hands of the sheriff of Cook county, Illinois, of said Paul O.

They discovered adjoining Stenslands "den" a portion of the house the use of which could not be accounted for. Finally they tapped upon a panel in Stenslands den. It sounded hollow and was partly concealed by draperies. When the door was forced there was disclosed an owning largo enough for a man to stand to conceal himself. A secret telephone was discovered in the back part of a desk in the socalled "directors" room of Stenslands la nk. Inspector Shippy was making investigations there. Ho broke open the desk and discovered the telephone receiver, locked in a special compartment at the back of the desk. He called for an expert from City Electrician Ellieotts office.

The police say that this phone gave Stensland direct, access to all messages coming into or going out from the bank.
