Stens land. president and wrecker of the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank, of Chi cago. left Gibraltar for the eastern count of Africa at 5 o’clock this after noon. Just uhe hour and forty minutes before the correspondent and assistant mate's attorney arrived after trailing him from America to England, thence to Gibraltar, to Tangier, Morocco, back to Gibraltar and than to Honda, where • he law a bull light, to Boballed, Gran ada. Seville and other Spanish towns Stensland traveled under the alias of P. Olsen, of Norway. Stensland evidently was sure that he was not being followed or else he had become extremely careless, for he left a trail rfs wide as one made by a herd of buffalo on the plains. Gummere, the American minister to Morocco, was on the watch and was ready to send a detail of the sultan’s soldiers to make a captive of Stens land. He Chose Morocoo. Stensland chose Morocco as a perma nent residence, thinking he was i safe because there Is no extradition treaty "1th that country. There Is no treaty, but It is less safe' than anywhere else. The sultan at Fez, to whom Mr. Gum- mere Is going on his first official mis- • lnn In two weeks, will do anything mt his great good friend, President Roosevelt, and he would have been de lighted to chop off Stensland's head If requested. If Stensland derides to return ns a gentleman, instead of a hnndcuffed prisoner, well and good. Otherwise one Jf the United States warships that will in Gibraltar waters ten days will cross in Tangier, the fugitive will be thrown on board and headed for Chi cago ^ The hank wrecker was on the Ger man steame- Oldenberg.

Negro disfranchisement. Senatorial district primaries. Port rates and general freight rate reductions all £long the line with out discrimination. These are certain planks of the platform which will be adopted at the state Democratic convention at Macon Tuesday. A fixed date for the primary Is one of the probabilities also. This win very likely be the first Monday or the first Wednesday In June of each election year, If It Is adopted. The South Carolina primary plan will be adopted In toto. This plan provides for a general primary on a certain day, the candidate for governor or any officer receiving a majority of the entire vote oast, receiving the nomination for that office. Where no candidate receives a majority, the two highest run the race over In a second primary* thus Insuring a choice. This entirely does away with and destroys the convention plan that has been so potent In the politics of Georgia In the past three decades In naming governors and other officers In the state. THOUSANDS APPLAUD THE HOSTS OF LABOR IN GRAND PROCESSION 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL DIG AS RESULT DF AN ASSAULT Special to The Georgian. Greenville, 8.

When news of the outrage became known at Pickens yesterday there was great excitement and a posse was at once organized to search for the negro. It soon became known, however, that the negro hod been caught and was be ing hurried to Greenville and the crowd dispersed. The negro was brought here In'the custody of Congressman George Le- gare, of Charleston, who Is spending the summer at Pickens, and two deputy sheriffs.

Shortly after his death. Inquiry was made of his family nnd a citizen of Cordele expressed his opinion that he was a doctor of Ann Arbor, Mich., named C. J. Lincoln, a stranger an swering to the deceased’s description and being In very' bad health having given his name as such. Nothing, however, could be learned of him from the mayor of Ann Arbor. A letter from Spring Place, Ga.. was to the effect that a man fully answer ing his description was there In June and gave Ills name as Dr. Roosevelt. Another from Fitzgerald stntes that such a man was there recently and as known as Dr. Morgan. Several here think that he Is a form er resident of Americus—Charley Fos- , —though others say that there Is I not enough resemblance between the stranger and Mr. Foster to warrant this belief. The general opinion Is that .he was some Itinerant doctor who was travel ing under assumed names on account of some secret which It seems he will car ry with him to the potter’s field. * He will be held a few days longer for Identification, and If nothing can be learned of his history, he will be buried here.
