Chicago. Sept. 4.—The moat Impor
tant developmenta In the Stenaland
case was the decision of Governor De-
neen to nek the United Statea govern
ment for a warship with which to
bring back the fugitive bank wrecker
from Tangier In the event he changea
his mind about retumln gto Chicago
willingly. In effect the governor aaka
for a warship with which to kidnap
Stenslnnd.
At the snme time It la feared that
Btensland may attempt to commit sut-
clde. He haa been dlaarmed and la
under cloae surveillance. It la believed
that Stenslnnd, If he la brought to
Chicago safely, will plead guilty and go
to the penitentiary at once without a
jury trial.
By Private Leased Wire.
Tangier, Morocco, Sept. 4.—Paul O.
Btensland admitted, when questioned
after his arreat, that legally he was
guilty, but morally others were far
more ao. For ten years the bank re
ceived deposlta, mostly from Italians.
Poles and other foreigners, amounting
to 500,000. He may have received
about half a million only.
The prisoner cried when making the
foregoing statement He expressed re
gret at the dishonor brought on hla son
and daughter, now In America.
Arreated at Postoffice.
Stensland arrived here a fortnight
ago and deposited In the Tangier
agency of the Comptolr National dea
Comte de Paris 70,000 franca the day
of his arreat. He proceeded to Gibral
tar, where he took passage for Moga-
dor. via Tangier. He landed here yes
terday and Detectives Olaon and Mr.
Kelly, editor of a Chicago newspaper,
arrived there yesterday morning.
They met.the prison at 8 o'clock at
the British postoffice, where he was ar
rested and taken to the American lega
tion. Ho slept In the British hotel last
night In custody,
Blamas Cashier Herlnfl.
Stensland declared Cashier Hering
was the forger and that Hering got
most of the money. He exonerated his
son, Theodore, and the bank directors.
He denied he had spent any money on
Leone Langdon Key. or any other wom
an He declared that he never took
all ihe money he put Into real estate
or Investments In the hope of making
good. Stensland expressed surprise
that the total loss Involved In the
bank's failure would reach 81,000,000.
'To my certain knowledge," he said,
"the liability to the bank/does not ex
ceed 1500,000. Anything over that
must have been stolen by Hering.”
He said the first money he took was
In ISOS, when he was In a tight hole
and needed money. He put his own
note In the box.
‘‘Owned My 8oul.”
"Hering,” ho declared, "suggested
ibis He pointed out that It was easy
to obtain money In that way. Then
when my own notes became too nu
merous he suggested the forgeries.”
"And you acquiesced?”
"Ve». First, he tempted, then he
onrei an( j j f e u Ever since that I
was forever In his power. He owned
me body and soul.”
The forgeries, he declared, were Her
ing',.
“I Was His 8lave."
Toward the last 8tenslsnd said:
"Hering openly took any money ho
wanted, and did as he pleased. He
would stay away from the bank three
or four days at a time. He gambled on
.torse*, a year ago h* promised to
omi lie did for a time, but resumed.
His pals got to railing up the bank.
Chut is why I had a secret 'phone put
in. so i could overhear. But he got
to :r, and went outalde to 'phone
his lie's.
"He hml me In his power. He knew
i Was IM-romlng more and more In-

U“e forged notes, and as the price of
my silence he kept a lot of stock for
geries on hand to be used as occasion
required. I was his slave and could
“o', get along without him. If he had

.101?DAN TO PRESENT
COMMITTEE’S REPORT
Genial Cotton Association
Secretary Says He
Isn’t Worried.
OUTBREAK IS EXPECTED
AT ANY MOMENT
By I’rivnte la>a.ed Wire.
Nogales, Arts., Sept. 4.—Nogales and
Douglas, In Arizona and Sonora, and
Augua Prieta, In Mexico, were In a
frenzy of excltefnent today and an out
break was expected at any moment.
Armed guards nurrounded the custom
house and Jail, where the attack was
expected, with orders to shoot to kill.
Troops are on their way hero, but It
expected that the outbreak would
occur before they could arrive.
The Jail la full of leading citlxen* of
this.tmvn and Sonora, who have been
arreated during the last mon'h and held
In communlcado and since the dis
closure of a revolutionary plot to take
the town It has been reported that the
arrest* were the results of the endeav
ors by the government to head off
the Impending outbreak by Imprison
ing the leaders.
Might Attsok Jail
It was expected that wh n the out
break came the Jail wouF. be stormed
In an. effort to release the prisoners. It
has been given out that they had been
arrested on suspicion of smuggling, but
known now there was a more
serious reason for the arrests.
Groups of excited men were scatter
ed all over town all night waiting for
the outbreak, but few seemed to know
who were on the side of the govern
ment and who were revolutionists.
Word was received early today that
government troops were marching on
this place, but It was declnred that
when they reach here the town would
be In / le hnnds of the revolutionists.
And tl.e soldiers would have to fight
their way In.
2,000 Troops on Way,
Dispatches from Douglas, on the
American side, and Augua Prieta, Just
across the burder In Mexico, stated
that 2,000 troops were marching on the
Mexlcatv town, but It was not known
whether they were government spldlers
or revolutionists. In either event, It
was stated, a battle was. Inevitable
when they arrived.
The first warning of the approach of
troops came In a telegram to the com-
mlaanrto (head of the Mexican supply
department) at Augua Prieta, lnform-
Presldent Harvle Jordan and Secre
tary Richard Cheatham leave Tuesday
afternoon at 4:50 o'clock to attend the
meeting of the executive committee of
the Southern Cotton Association at
Hot Springs, September 6, 7 and 8.
President Jordan carries with him
the report recently- made to him by
the committee appointed by him to
make an Investigation of the charges
that certain officials of the association
were Involved In bucket shop deals.
This report will be submitted to the
executive committee for whatever ac
tion It thinks proper. Secretary
Cheatham, who was one of those to be
“Investigated,” said Tuesday morning
that he was still In the ring end ex
pected to stay there. He gave tho Im
pression that he did not consider him
self disfigured In the least cither.
Mr. Cheatham by multiplying the
circulation of The Georgian by the
number of columns It devoted to the
Investigation figures ' that the asso
ciation has gotten 2,508,000 columns of
publicity. "Not Inches nor lines, mind
you." said he, "but columns—2,608,noo
whole columns I got, so I didn't mind
the attacks at all. I actually got fat
on It."
President Jordan would not vouch
safe any Information In regard to the
report of the Investigation beyond say
ing that it would be submitted “Just
as the committee Intended.” lie said
that the executive committee, which Is
composed of 33 men. was meeting to
consider the condition of the crop and
to decide on a minimum price.
He said that so far as he could learn
the crop would be a fair one. but thnt
the heavy rains In certain parts of the
cotton belt had been the nucleus nl
numerous evils, such as boll weevil,
boll worms, shedding and other hugs
nnd diseases to which the cotton plant
falls heir.
Ing him that a body of 3.000 tro-'i-i
would arrive at Augua Prieta early to
day and that contributions of men and
supplies from the town would be ex
pected.
Americans Are Warned.
This telegram was unsigned, and the
commlasario was unable to say wheth
er the troops headed In the direction ol
the town were friendly or hostile.
Word was sent to a'.l American
merchants of the Mexican town warn
ing them to get whatever money ami
valuables they had on the American
side of the line. The gxcltement soon
spread to the American side of the line,
nnd the entire population of the place
was under arms.
