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
i the United States. The United
! tes has no extradition treaty
v. i li Morocco, and until a special
treaty to fit the ease can be
drawn up between the state de

HERE IS GRAPHIC STORY
OF HUNT FOR STENSLAND.
By Private Leaaed Wire.
Gibraltar, Sept. 3.—Paul O. Stens-
land, president and wrecker at the
^ Milwaukee Avenue State Bank, ot Chi
cago, left Gibraltar for the eaatern-
coaat of Africa at 6 o'clock this after
noon, Just one hour and forty minute^
before the correspondent and assistant
state's attorney arrived after trailing
him from America to England, thence
to Gibraltar, to Tangier, Morocco, back
to Gibraltar and then to Ronda, where
he saw a bull fight, to Boballed, Gran
nda. 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 as 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 Morocco.
Stensland chose Morocco as a perma
rent residence, thinking ho was safe
because there Is no extradition treaty
with that country. There Is no treaty,
but It U less safe than anywhere else.
The sultan at Fez, to whom Mr. Gum
mere Is going on his first official mis
sion In two weeks, will do anything
for his great good friend. President
Roosevelt, and he would have been de
lighted to chop off Stensland’s head If
requested.
If Stensland decides to return as
gentleman, Instead of a handcuffed
prisoner, well and good. Otherwise one
of the United States warships that will
be In Gibraltar waters ten days will
cross to Tangier, the fugitive *111 be

THE DEAD STRANGER.

Special to The Georgian
Amerlcus, Ga„ Sept. 3.—The strang
er who died several days ago, while
passing through Amerlcus on a Sea
board train en route from Rochelle to
Montgomery, iTas not as yet been Iden
tified.
8hortty after his death. Inquiry was
made of his family and 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 ns such. Nothing,
however, could bo learned of him from
the mayor of Ann Arbor.
A letter from Spring Place, Ga.. was
to the effect that a man fully nnswer-
Ing ids description was there In June
and gave his name as Dr. Roosevelt.
Another from Fitzgerald states that
such a man was there recently and
was known as Dr. Morgan.
Several here think that he Is a form
er resident of Amerlcus—Charley Fos.
ter—though others Hay that there Is
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 Ills history, he will be
buried here.

SOME OF THE. PLANKS
THAI WILL BE ADOPTED
Two-cent passenger fares.
The South Carolina primary plan.
Negro disfranchisement.
Senatorial district primaries.
Port rates and general freight rate reductions all along 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 la one of the probabilities also. „
' This will 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 cast,
receiving the nomination for that office.
Where no candidate receives a majority, tho 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 x officers In the state.

Greenville last night and lodged In the
county Jail, charged with assault upon
the . 13-year-old daughter of White

great excitement and a posse was at

It soon became known, however, that
the negro had been caught and was be

dispersed.
The negro Ivas brought here In the
custody of Congressman George Le-

To the music of many bands, which

of Joy, hope and ambition as the day

ed Into the streets from the Juncture
of the Poarhtrees to the farthest
limits laid out for the parade.
The Labor Day pageant surpassed
anything of the kind over before seen
In Atlanta. The cnthuslnstn of the
people who watched the splendid array
of men of toll broke all records, nml
the spirits of the men, celebrating
twelve months of splendid prosperity
and looking forward to whnt promises
even a brighter future, were high.
The parade wns a success from every
standpoint. With little or no confusion
It moved from the Juncture of the
Peachtree* nt 1 o'clock nnd to the In

marches nnd two-steps, swung down
Peachtree, crossed the vladpct, passed
down Whitehall to p’orsyth, where the
counter march began nnd the column,
turning, retraced Its line of march to
Alabama, executed a column-right,
marched down Broad to Marietta and
there disbanded.
As Viewed From Windows.
The general effect of the parade,
when viewed from the window of sn
office building, as It was by hundreds
of Interested citizens, was similar to
that which might b given by a large
flower garden, were It placed on floats
and driven through the thoroughfares.
Every color of the rainbow blended
together gave the most pleasing effect
to the eye. The union men with their
uniforms of spotless white, dark blue
and white, red, green or black, holding
flags, banners, streamers and vari
colored umbrellas, made a fitting set
ting for the elaborate floats'. The float
of the Federation of Labor, as It lead
