STENSLAND TOLD BY'ARAB TO PRAY AT THE PROSPECT OF DELAYJN TRIAL Slayer of White Won’t Face Jury Until No vember. Chicago Bank Wrecker Said To Be Broken in Health. Cries All Night. Bj- Trlvate Leased Wire. Tangier, Morocco, Sept. 6.—But for m error of the etate department at Washington In sending Instructions to Minister Gummere In cipher, to which he did not have the key, Paul O. Stens- land would be a prisoner In Kalbw, a rather superior sort of jail In the Moorish citadel. As It Is, he still Is confined on the top floor of the Bristol hotel, guarded by a representative of the American legation and six soldiers of the sultan. Today It Is expected intelligible In structions will arrive. Then the bank er must leave his pleasant suite of rooms and go to a cell. Prison an Awful Place. For reasons of humanity he will not be locked up In the combination pris on. This Is an awful place, dark and filthy, with air as foul as the black hole of Calcutta. How the Moors man age to live in It Is a mystery. One week's confinement would kill a white man. The process of Incarceration will be simple. The American minister will present the request of the government of Kaldor Belgasl, the Basha ruler of Tangier. He will experience great pleasure In being able to oblige and Into Jail the arrested fugitive goes. Pinkerton Man is Late. P. C. Cavaroc, assistant superintend ent of the Pinkertons, arrived here from Chicago last night to find himself a few days late. He reached Gibraltar Monday and before he was In town an hour heard that the quarry had been captured. Cavaroc is acting for the Depositors' Association of the Mil waukee Avenue Bank. Banker Broken Down. Stensland has broken down. Re morse has been his constant companion and his only bright moments since his capture were those when his captors took lunch with him. All night lie wept continuously ' and at times his paroxysms of tears so alarmed the guards they were on the point of callr lng a doctor. Stensland suffered also severe physical pain in addition to his mental agony. The captain,of hts guards, a distin guished looking, white bearded Arab, shortly after daybreak yesterday found Stensland, who had tossed for hours in hed, had risen and was sitting in a chair rocking, weeping and moaning. He hnd placed a handkerchief over his eyes and abandoned himself utterly to an outburst of grief. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and uncovered his eyes. There at his side stood the old white-robed, turbaned Arab. Arab 8uggssts Prayer. Down on his knees went the son of the ancient Moslem faith, with his right hand pointed to heaven. Then he boned his head courteously and In pantomlne gravity suggested to prisoner that he find relief above. "And," said Stensland, in telling the story, while a wan smile flittered across his haggered and worn counts nance, "it was not a bad Idea.” Stensland confessed that Russia was his ultimate goal. He said that they might think his intention Insane, but that was where he wns going, knew it was not a particularly safe place from his point of view, but thought he would have a chance. He believed there was enough riot and rebellion there; that a stranger might be unnoticed, but the.real fact Is prob ably It wns the longing of the wan dering son for an abiding place as near as possible to hts fatherland. His life of exile was hell on earth, according to Stensland. From the mo ment he left Chicago his every awak ening thought was. pregnant with fear and his every sleeping moment filled "Ith torturing visions. Private Leased Wire. New York, Sept. 5.—Harry Kendalj Thaw today was indignant when in formed that his trial for the murder of Stanford White would not b reached until the middle of November. The knowledge that he would be compelled to remain in the Tombs un til the cold weather, at least, made the prisoner gloomy and Irritable. He had hoped to be placed on trial early In October, and, believing firmly that he would be acquitted, he had counted upon being free before November. There are now confined in the Tombs no less than twenty-four prisoners awaiting trial on the charge of homi cide. Four others have been commit ted to the Tombs on a murder charge, but in the meantime are awaiting in dlctment. Named In order with relation to the date of his Indictment, Thaw Is No. 11 on the list. Ten men are, therefore, entitled to trial ahead of him, but there Is nothing about the case of any of these ten which makes a lengthy trial at all likely. $ PLANNING ANOTHER REVOLT Secret Order Fprmed To Combat White People in India.

SUBMARINE VOLCANO STREWS BEACH WITH SCALDED FISH 1,5 Private Leased Wire. , ... , . Honolulu, Sept. 5,—An earthquake shock of exceptional violence was f cit at Hilo Monday evening at 8:40 'clock. Soon after the disturbance the beach was lined for miles with dead fish that apparently had been evalded to death. . This la a very untumal phenomenon'In connection with earthquake*, “tid It la regarded as showing conclusively that the disturbance was a jubmarlne volcanic eruption, and that It occurred within five miles of No dou6t Is entertained by scientific men In Honolulu that the center °* Monday's disturbance was very ciose to Hilo. The shock was not felt “t Honolulu. ler In nomination for permanent chair man. As Judge Miller was escorted to the rostrum he was greeted with great applause. His speech of accept anpe was brief, but strong. He stressed the pleasure felt on every side at a re united Democracy. Judge Miller Is, unfortunately, handicapped by a poor voice and frequent cries from the rear of 'louder” seemed to distress him. The. order of business for the conven tion, the appointment of the credential and platform and resolutions commit tee followed. There followed a shower of resolutions, but It is a remarkable fact that only two were reported on favorably. One, calling for a law to protect prohibition counties from tho Importation ot Intoxicants, was em braced as a part of the platform as adopted. ■ The other, which caused tha only real rumpus Ip the convention, was to have the chairman of the convention call the body together again, If the people should ratify the amendment for an appellate court, to nominate the candidates. Mr. Gray, chairman of the platform committee, first stated that tt|la reso lution was adopted a* a part of the platform, but later corrected the state ment by saying It was simply reported to the convention. After a big wrangle the whole matter was passed over, leaving the course of events to be shaped after the ratification of the court of appeals. Take s Rast. At 1;30 o'clock, finding Itself with out any business on hand, the com. mlttees being out, the convention ad journed for thirty minutes, but it was after 3 o'clock before It assembled again. Still warm, but refreshed by the rest, the delegates were In their seats when Chairman Miller rapped for or der again. The report of the creden tials committee was ready and read. The Fulton county double-headed committee row, of over a year's stand lng, was settled by declaring the J. K. Maddox committee the regular one. The contest in the Atlantic circuit for the sollcltorshlp, brought by the Incumbent, Livingston Keenan, who was defeated by seven votes by N. J. Norman, was thrown out, and Norman declared the nominee. A local wran gle was also settled In Gilmer county. 8eab Wright 8pssks. As the platform committee was still out, cries for Scab Wright started, and after hanging back modestly for a few minutes, he came to the front. ‘ 'The next governor of , Georgia,” yelled one enthusiast, apparently for getful of the fact that Hoke Smith had not yet been nominated for that Job. The night before Waterloo In my county,” he began, but had to stop for the applause to subside, “Rube Ar nold came up to help us cinch It. Near the close of that meeting some old fellow In the rear of the hall Jumped to his feet and said, ‘Looks to me as If It was all over except the shoutii^;,' and began that grand old dozology, 'Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.’ ” He declared that Hoke Smith would make good every promise given. Thank God, It Is a white man's party in Georgia now and for all time. We stand together now under the old flag, Jeffersonian Democracy.” Arnold and Bsrnsr. He wanted to quit then, but the crowd liked him and Insisted on his proceeding, but he got around It by calling tor Reuben Arnold. "I can talk as long as there Is an Issue to discuss, but we have settled It all. I can't do much on dress pa rade,” said Mr. Arnold. He got the glad hand In his brief speech, and re tired happy and smiling. R. L. Berner tried to hide when calls came for him, but he had to yield. He disclaimed any connection with “the Rube Arnold and Seab Wright gang.” Mr. Berner referred to his rare of 1893 and said he was the worst run over man In the state. He got tremendous applause when he placed Hoke Smith in nomination for the presidency, when the time was ripe for the South to name the candi date. At this time the platform committee came In and Chairman Gray read It amid profound silence. Xhe platform, as adopted, la printed In full elsewhere. First Fight Opened. The first struggle wae opened when Dr. Goss, of DeKalb, arose to make a motion to have the section relative to primaries embrace, congressional, state, senatorial and county elections. That brought on the storm. Boykin Wright opposed taking away the direct rights of the counties to say how and when they would hold primaries for county officers. Dr. George Hlllyer favored the Idea of Dr. Goss. The row eddied and raged for half and hour, when Mr. Whitley, of Douglas, brought order out of chaos by moving to strike from the platform all reference to congressional, senatorial and county elections. It car ried and stilled tha tumult. Votsd No on Platform. When the question of adopting the platform was put, Mr. McIntosh, of Pierce, thundered a "no.” It was said that Mr. McIntosh had a grievance be cause the committee hod choked off his resolution to Indorse William Randolph Hears! for second place on the national ticket. The court of appeals matter caused the biggest rumpus of the meeting. All sorts of suggestions and Ideas were advanced. The resolution to have the convention called together agatn after ratification of the amendment met with hot opposition from Congressman Hardwick. He said that a platform had just' been adopted doing away with convention nominations, yet the body was turning right around and proposing to stultify Itself by Indorsing another one. Finally, Frank Copeland, of Floyd, checkmated the old business by mak ing a motion to table all the resolu tions relative to the court of appeals, and leaving It alone until the people had decided whether or not there was to be a court of apppeals. It carried without a dissenting voice. The con vention Is simply on record as Indors ing the court of appeals. Crowd Impatient. The final stage ot the day's pro ceedings were reached about £ o'clock, when James L. Anderson arose to make the nominating speech. The crowd by now was very tired, and not of a humor to listen to anybody long, except Mr. Bmtth. Mr. Anderson was given close atten tion until near the close of his re marks, when cries for Smith, "cut It out,' " GREAT OVATION GIVEN 70 HON HOKE SMITH Rarely has a scene ot such spontaneous and whole-hearted enthust- ' asm been witnessed as took place In the Macon auditorium when the committee came down the center aisle escorting Governor-elect Hoke Smith at £ o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Though wearied by the long session and limp from the heat.' the great audience electrified, leaped to Its feet, yelling, waving coats, hats, fans or papers. For a full three minutes that crashing wave of unre strained tribute to the man thundered about the building. And ae the man to whom this splendid meed of honor was being paid stood.In the center of the stage, he showed plainly how profoundly moved he was. Perfectly calm, yet pale with emotion, he looked down on the seething mass of humanity and his great fare lit almost to genialness. Finally, the tumult died away, and he began speaking, his voice lqw, but penetrating with feeling. As he proceeded, the volume of his tones swelled until the deep-chested words searched every nook. It was a mas terly speech. Shorn absolutely of rhetoric and catch phrase. It stunned almost with Its overpowering sincerity. The audience sat breathless, because they felt the tremendous power of the man and the terrible earn estness of his every word. Hoke Smith may make more eloquent speeches, but he will never de liver one that will Impress more profoundly with Its consecrated sin cerity.

Cook, of Ir At the meeting of the county com mlasloners Wednesday morning It was decided to let the tax rate of Fulton county remain the eame as last year— five mills on the dollar. This addition to the local tax of one-fourth of i 1 per cent for school purposes, re eently provided tor by a vote ot the people. This latter tax only appllea to that part of the county outside of At lanta and the Incorporated suburbs. It was thought by the finance com' mlttee, of whlclf Judge Rosser Is chairman, that the old rate would be sufficient to defray the expenses of the county, although more money will have to be spent next year than last. The Increase In the assessment will yield a targe enough revenue, It Is thought, to enable the county to meet Its obligations. The taxable values In Fulton county last year were 183,068,350 and for the year to come are 366,108,760, an In crease of £4,038,400. The state .tax was recently reduced from 34.90 to $4.80 on the thousand. Fulton'a state and county tax rate, therefore, la 39.80 on the thousand.

Several who had filed their applica tions withdrew them after they had learned of the strenuous life they would be subjected to If elected. The probability of being called out at all hours of the night and having to spend a large part of the time In the stations waa too much for them. The lucky ones, aa selected by the committee on roads and bridges and reported by Chairman E. V. Carter, of that committee, are: J. M. Carroll, Adamavllle district; G. D. Pippin, Hapevllle; M. C. Odum, Blackball; J. o. Heard and W. F. Hubbard, Buck- head; John Peacock and T. E. Camp, Bryants; R. F. Jordan and H. C. Buchanan, South Bend; I. C. Edwards and T. W. Cofleld, Collins; W. H.

The appli cations were selected at random by the committee, and aa each name was pro posed It was voted on. Three votes elected, but those who got leas than that In the committee were thrown out. The majority of the applicants got one or two votes In the committee. The report of the committee waa adopted unanimously. A meeting will be held Thursday afternoon at £ o'clock to determine the location of the three stations to which the men will report. It la probable that the date when the new members of the farce are to report for duty will also be selected at that time. DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE WILL MEET FRIDAY Was Mistaken For a Deer By W. A. Cooks.
