Washington, Sept. 3—Although
apprehended, Banker Stensland,
of Chicago, is for the time being
beyond the reach of the arm of the
laws of either the state of Illinois
or the United States. The United
States has no extradition treaty
with .Morocco, and until a special
treaty to fit the case can be
drawn up between the state de

ernment, tliero is no way by
which he can be brought back

Gibraltar, Sept. 3.—Paul O. Stena-
land, preHldent and wrecker of the
Milwaukee Avenue State Bank, of Chi
cago, left Gibraltar for tho eastern
coant of Africa at 6 o’clock this after
noon, juat one hour and forty minutes
before the correspondent and assistant
itate's attorney arrived after trailing
him from America to England, thence
to Gibraltar, to Tangier, Morocco, back
to Gibraltar and then to Honda, where
he saw a bull fight, to Boballed, Oran
aria, Seville and other Spanish towns.
8tem>land traveled under the alias of
P. Olsen, of Norway.
Stensland evidently was sure that he
was not being followed or else he had
berome extremely careless, for he left a
trail hh wide as one* made by a herd of
buffalo on the plains.
Gummere, f.tje American minister to
Morocco, was on the watch and was
ready to send a detail of the sultan's
•oldlers to make a captive of Stens
land.
He Chose Morocco.
Stensland chose Morocco as a perma
rent residence, thinking he was safe
because there la no extradition treaty
"ith that country. There Is no treaty,
but it is less safe than anywhere else.
The sultan at Fez, to whom Mr. Gum

flon In two weeks, will do anything

Roosevelt, and he would have been de-
Msht**d to chop off Stensland's head if

The
Philadelphia, 8ept. 2.—District Al
tocney Bell, H'lth the aid of three as
sistants, today began an Investigation
of the affairs of the Real Estate Trust
Company, which failed last week, with
a view of ascertaining to what exient
the laws of the stale were clolated In
the transactions carried on by Frank
K. Hippie, the late president of the
company, and others connected with
the Institution.
In his preliminary examination with
Receiver Earle, Mr. Bell said he found
sufficient evidence to cause several ar
rests, but he preferred to make a com
plete Independent Investigation of tha
company's affairs before obtaining
warrants. The district attorney will
not give out the names of the officers
or directors whom he considers' are
criminally liable, and It Is not expected
he will take any action until he has
made a complete examination of the
company. He said no arrests will be
made today.

ly. The men bled from mouth and
ears. Nelson has a shade the best of
a most vicious round.
ROUND II—They closed with Gans
lighting hard and the request of Siler
that Nelson stop butting with hls head.
Nelson apparently realized that hlx
only chpnce was to light breast
breast. Judging from the preceding
founds, he Is the better man at this
game. Nelson started a stream of blood
from Oans' mouth by two wicked right
upper cuts. They broke from a clinch
and Gans Immediately whipped In two
rights to Nelson’s Jaw. Gana was cau-
tloned to keep away by hls seconds, but

to desist by Siler and the seconds yell
ed foul In unison. No attention was
paid to the claim and the two men
roughed It at close quarters, Nelson
forcing Gans to the ropes. The men
fought at close quarters, or rather
wrestled, so that little execution could
be accomplished. Nelson In a break
away was sent to the Aoor with a
right straight Jab to the face. Nelson
looked a bit shaky as he got to hls
feet, nnd he Immediately went to closo

butting and laid hls hand on Nelson's
heed twice as a reminder that the
Dane should cut out this kind of work.
Nelson continued to butt, nnd Slier

er and Siler grabbed Nelson by the
head, Indicating that the Dane should

tage and sent In a volley of right and
left swings to the Jaw and the round

right discolored. They fought to a
clinch and Oans poked right end left
to face. Gans then sent In a stiff up
per cut over the eye. Nelson then sent
In two right body punches and at close
rnnge Gans hooked hls left to mouth.
They then stood off and Gans trimmed
Nelson with straight rights and lefts
to face and Jaw. Nelson missed two
vicious swings nnd Gans shot In

Gans almost through the ropes. This
rontlnued for some time; Anally Gans
rushed Nelson away and smashed him
twice with hls right to the Jaw. He
followed this with two lefts to the
Dalle's head. This was the only time
during the round that the men had
fought and Gana had the advantage.
ROUND 22—They rushed to clinch
and Bller warned Nelson constantly
about. boring In with hls head. Gans
then crossed with hls right to the Jaw.
Then Nelson drove hls left twice to
the eyes; and the colored gent had put
two lefts to the face. At close quar
tet's Nelson put two good rights over
the negroe's heart and then followed
It with the usual course of wrestling.
They broke away and Nelson stagger
ed Gans with a succession of hard left
swings to the Jaw and put rights to
the Jaw. Gans did not respond and
Nelson sent the crowd Into a frenzy
by driving Gans to hls corner with a
right hook to the body that was
peach.
The crowd rose to Its feet at the
end of the round and yelled "Nelson.”
It was the Dane's round.
ROUND 24—Nelson went right after
Gans, having received Instructions from
hls corner to go In. They clinched and
at close, quarters Gans swung left and
right to the face. Nelson smiled de
terminedly, and gave Gana no chance
to rest. He swung hls left hard to the
Jaw, but Gans retaliated with two wick
ed rights.
Nelson then missed two vicious up
per cuts and they worked In close.

Gans' head with right and left to Jaw.
He followed this with two rights and
a left to Jaw. Joe awoke from hls ap
parent somnolence and ther ""ened up
matters by hammering vl« ’ .’My at
Nelson's fnce with right and \; ’. They
then worked to close quarters and Just
before the bel, Dans shot left to face.
Gans was a bit worsted earlier In the
round, but had the better of the closing
rally.
ROUND 26—Nelson forced Gans to
ropes, but could not penetrate Gans'
defense while In dangerous positions.
They wrestled again about the ring,
Oans resting up. Nelson landed hard
swing to head, but two lefts In the
same place went glimmering. They
boxed and Gans landed left swing over
mouth and followed with three straight
lefts to face. Then followed the In
evitable clinch, emerging fnom which
Nelson whirled Oans on Jaw with left
nnd right. Both men appeared tired at
this stage of the contest. It seems hard
to predict the winner at this stage.
ROUND 27—Gans sparred while Nel
son wasted hls vitality with useless
swings. Nelson pushed Gans against
the ropes and the latter, working him?
self free, sent hls left to Nelson’s
mouth. Nelson missed a hard left
swing and In a mix Joe put In two light
lefts to face. Nelson retaliated
and they fought at close range, (inns
resting and saving hls strength. Nelson
bled profusely as they worked to the
center of the ring. It was a sight to
behold. GanB sent Nelson hack with
a left to tho Jaw. Both men were very
weak aH the gong sounded. Nelson,
for the first time, showed great weaii-
nes. Cans' round. It was claimed that
Gans had turned hls fot In this round,
which may seriously Incapacitate him
for the remainder of the contest.

arm lefts to the stomach and both men
wrestled, Gans nearly putting Nelson

very tired. Joe was the freshest of
the two r.s the round ended.
ROUND 25—The sun la going down.
It's the same old story—wrestle, stall
nnd wrestle, without a blow being
struck. Gans Anally shipped In a
straight left to the Jaw, and again they
rested each other’s head against >nw
another's shoulder. Gans put a right
upper cut that lacked force, and they
went on to a clinch. Both men tot
tered about the ring, not landing a
blow. Nelson at close quartere work
ed the left short* to ribs nnd one to
the face and the bell rang both tlicd.
BOUND 26—Both sparred, and then
Gans started something with a stirring
right to the face. Wrestling again.
Nelson missed a fearful upper cut in

rest.
ROUND 28—Nelson rushed In and
Gan* barked up quickly trylng_to keep

who was groggy when the bell clanged.
It was a welcome sound to Nelson,
ROUND 29—Nelson rushed to close

right swings to the Jaw. Oans eut
loose again and mercilessly peppered
Nelson's face and Jaw with right and
left Jolts. The Done merely shook hls

the Attest.

the Dane's leads, and as usual closed In
on Nelson. Siler again and again spoke
