If he had It. You cannot separate a
man fmm aoclety-you cannot deal
with the quostlon as one purely of

Those who say the laboring man ,
would waste his time If allowed fewer

lan ( } , preslent of the Mllwnukeo
Avenue Stnto bank of Chlca o , was
o.rrosted here Monday morning by
Henry Olson , assistant atato'a attor.
noy , who had followed the fugitive
from Chlengo through England and
Spain to Gibraltar an ( } thla port.
A tOlegram nddresserl to Stensland
1.1) ' his aon announcing an Important
remlttanco and which was nddreslcd !
to GIbraltar or ' 1'anglor , put justice on
the traclt.
Olson who was In Paris on vacation ,
was at once Instructed to follow up
the cle'w and arrest the rugltlvo. On. .
his arrIval at Tangier ho was con.
vlncod thnt ho was on the right track , .
aa Stensland had presented hImself.
at several banlts and trle ( } to get let. :
tors of credit for largo sums. Ho had
actually erfectel1 a l1eposlt of $12,000
In the Comptolr d'Escompte.
Washlngton.-It Is now aal ( } at
the atate l1epartment that there
probably will 1.10 no difficulty In fetch.
Ing Stenslaud away from Morocco Oft
any merchant vessel , provIding the
ship does not touch at a French port.
There Is no provisIon In the exlal-
Ing oxtradltlon treaty between Amerl.
ca and Franco for the surrender ot
persons guilty of embezzlemont. the
technical offense charge ( } agaInst
Stenslo.n ( } .
If Stenalanl1 , therefore , got In the
French jurisdiction ho might through
counsel secure Intervention by the au.
thorltles , and it Is BuggOste the
French officials might feel oblled ! to
move in the matter on Its own account
to os cape lIablllt ) ' for a civll Bult tor
damages whIch mIght be brought on
the ground of l11egallmprisonment on
French torrltory.
No such dIfficulty would bo met if
the fugitive were brought Into GIl ,
raUar or to a Spanlah or Portuguese
port , because their extradItion treaties
would permit of his surrender to
AmerIcan authorltlea.
