Stensland, former president of the Milwaukee avenue state bank *of Chicago, on a charge of having received millions of deposits after he knew the bank to be insolvent, Br Private tensed Wire. 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 partment and the Moroccan gov ernment, there is no way by which he can be brought back from that country by American law officers. 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 thrown on board and headed for Chi cago.

BIG ATLANTA CROWD PREPARING TO GO THE DEAD STRANGER. Picture of man who died on Sea board train near Amerieua. 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. UNKNOWN SHIP BEATING ON ROCKS OFF FRENCH COAST By Private Leased Wire.

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.
