IMPLICATES PROMINENT MEN
New York, Sept. 25.—Under arrest
by New York detectives, Paul O.
Stensland, former president of the Mil-
waukee Avenue State Bank, Chicago,
who stands indicted for heavy embez-
gzlements from that institution, has
arrived in New York. He was taken
from the steamer Prince Adalbert, on
which he came from Morocco, to which
country he had fled after the wrecking
of the bank, and, according to his son,
Theodore Stensland, he wiil plead
guilty to several of the charges
brought against him.
Stensland has made a complete con-
fession, according to Assistant States
Attorney Harry Olsen, of Chicago, who
went to Tangier, Morocco, to take the
former bank official into custody, and
in his, confession he implicated other
prominent Chicago men. Attorney
Olsen declined to name these men.
Theodore Stensland, who gave out
an official statement for his father, de-
clared that the latter had made no
signed confession, but that he had ad-
mitted committing certain offenses
which constitute embezzlement under
the Illinois laws. To some of the in-
dictments for embezzlement his father
would plead guilty, he said, and in the
case of others he would turn state's
evidence and implicate all others who
should be indicted in connection with
the failure of the bank.
Stensland made the further state-
ment, according to the son, that if the
shortage in the bank was over $400.-
000 the money in excess of that amount
had been taken by Henry W. Hering,
the former cashier of the bank, who
was jointly indicted with Stensland on
charges of stealing over $1,000,000
from the bank and for forgery.
Stensland arrived in New York
weak physically and showing much
evidence of the strain which has
attended his extraordinary flight
through many countries, his desperate
but ineffectual try for freedom down
the West African coast and his final
capture in the Moroccan city of Tan-
gier, from which place the United
States authorities were permitted to
remove him by the government of Mo-
rocco. There was an affecting meeting
between father and son on board the
tug Catherine Moran, which the pris-
oner hoarded at quarantine,
Stensland denies the report that he
tried to commit suicide while in Mo-
rocco. He says that a sudden fainting
spell there was interpreted as an at-
tempt at self destruction by the Mo-
roccan soldiers.
Stensland was locked up at police
station over night and was taken to
Chicago to-day (Tuesday).
The Prinz Adalbert was several
hours later than expected in arriving
at quarantine and was met by a tug,
on hoard of which were the junior
Stensland, a friend, Herman Benner,
of Johnstown, Pa.; Detectives Kinder
and Binns, of Chicago, and two New
York detectives.
Stensland was pale and seemed very
weak as he pa®sed slowly from the
steamer to the tug and then into the
cabin. Here he was formally placed
under arrest by the New York detec-
tives, and here also after a few mo-
ments he received his son. Both
father and son were completely over-
come and made no effort to restrain
their emotions, The elder man seemed
quite unable to talk, and when he did
go it was in tones so low that he
sould scarcely be heard.
Astounding Confession and Demon-
stration of Young Negress.
Chester, Pa., Sept. 24.—Mary Doug-
lass, a 15-year-old negro girl, a child's
nurse at the home of Captain E. Oliver
Mahon, of company B, National
Guards, was arrested, charged with
sticking pins in three-months-old
Jeannette Mahon, whose illness puz-
zled the attending physician, Dr. F.
Powel, for several days. Making an ex-
amination he removed from the child
14 small pins and a safety.
Mary confessed to the doctor and
Mrs. Mahon that she used the baby as
a human pin-cushion. When brought
before Chief of Police Williams, how-
ever, she denied the accusation.
She was committed to the Detention
Home for a hearing. The child's con-
dition is serious.
There is nothing humiliating in true
humility. ng nuk
STATE TROOPS CALLED OUT
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 24.—Atlanta had
a race war of no mean proportions.
At least 10 lives have been sacrificed
and the number of injured will be at
least 40, several of whom cannot re-
cover. The city is controlled by the
police, aided by nearly 1000 of the
state militia. Every part of the town
is patrolled by the soldiers, and the
authorities seem to have the situation
well in hand. Governor Terrell, who
ordered seven companies of the state
military service from points outside
of Atlanta to aid the eight local com-
panies, stands ready to declare the
city under martial law if the scenes
of Saturday are repeated.
Four attempts at assault on white
women by negroes within or near the
limits of the ciiy wrought white citi-
zens here to a pitch of excitement.
The assaults followed two others of
a similar nature within the week and
at least half a dozen others within
the last two months, and brought a
siimax Saturday night.
The usual Saturday night crowds
were largely increased by men and
boys, who thronged the downtown
streets. There was no leader and no
overt act until late in the evening.
A negro man shoved a white woman
from the sidewalk on Whitehall street,
in the centre of the town. Almost si-
multaneously a negro woman made ar
insulting remark to a white man on
an adjoining street, and he adminis-
tered what be considered due punish-
ment. From this start the mob began
its work of destruction.
Five thousand men and boys
thronged the downtown streets look-
ing for negroes. News that a riot
had started brought thousands more
from their homes in the suburbs and
residence districts, until fully 10,09)
men thronged the downtown section.
They made attacks on the incoming
street cars. Each car was scanned for
negroes. The trolleys were pulled
from the wires, and in the semi-dark:
ness of the unlighted cars negroes
were beaten, cut and stamped upon in
an unreasoning, mad frenzy. If a ne
gro ventured resistance or remonstrat.
ed it meant practically sure death.
One car, half filled with negroes, ap-
proached from an outside run. The
mob dashed for the car. Resistance
was made by the negroes, who had not
been apprised of trouble. Three ne.
groes lay dead on the floor of the
car when it was permitted to move
on, and two more were seriously beat
en and unconscious.
The entire fire department was called
out to clear the streets, and when that
move failed the governor was called
on to order out the militia, and he
promptly complied.
The attacks on negroes had the of.
fect of clearing the streets of blacks.
Street hacks were abandoned at curb-
ings; drivers on baggage wagons van-
ished and their places were taken by
white men. This fear of trouble has
affected several public conveniences
Sunday. The postoffice officials had
much difficulty in delivering special
letters; ice deliveries have been scarce
to private homes; in some restaurants
service has been restricted by the ab-
sence of regular waiters. Throughout
the day hundreds of negroes have been
fleeing the city, by train and wagon
and on foot. They have hurried from
the city, fearing the possibilities of
trouble in the immedaite future.
SIX FAMILIES POISONED
Roach Powder Dropped Into Barrel of
Sugar In Bakery.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 24.—Six entire
families of Allegheny, whose members
number over a score, have been poi-
soned through the product of a baker
shop, according to a physician who has
been treating the cases, and while
the afflicted have not recovered, all
but two were reported out of danger.
The family of Dr. G. G. Graham, con-
sisting of Mrs. Graham, three daugh-
ters, aged 12, 10 and 6, and a dinner
guest, Dr. E. V. Weller, and John W.
Davis, Mrs. Davis, her brother, 84
years old, and four sons, were among
the afflicted who were in the greatest
danger.
Mr. Davis was taken ill while at a
theatre on Friday night and physicians
have grave fears for his recovery.
An investigation was made by Dr.
Graham and Dr. Weller and it is said
that the poison was roach powder
that had dropped from a shelf in the
bakery into a barrel of sugar.

nephew here. The animal was con-
fined in 2 barn by reason of his ugli-
ness, but was let out in the yard by
him, contrary to advice of his niece,
Mrs. Charles Bly, and he attempted to
drive him to pasture.
The brute turned on him, and al-
though he was armed with a club,
brushed him to one side, thre him high

gored him repeatedly.
Mrs. Bly attempted to drive the beast
away, but narrowly escaped herself

brought help. Bly was dead when pick-
ed up.
