"first he tempted, .then be urged, and I fell. Ever after that I was absolutely in hi power. Ha owned me, body and soul." "How many of the "forgeries did you do yourself?" "Not on. Herlng.

Problem for State llepartameot. WASHINGTON. Sept. 4.-The State de partment Is more greatly concerned over the steps taken to tie up a deposit of money which has been made In a bank r.t Tangier, Morocco, by Paul O. Btensland, president of the Milwaukee Avenue Btntc bunk of Chicago, than with the extradlilon of the fugitive banker himself. Acting Becretaxy of Bute Adee is giving the ques- tlon his personal attention. It is the im pression that no international complica tions would arise If the authorities quietly kldnaped Stenaland and returned him to this country for trial, but It is entirely a different question when it comes to the recovery of money deposited in a foreign bank, regardless of whether that money is atolea or not. There are certain questions of international law involved which must be settled before the deposit can be gained for the creditors of the defunct Chicago hank. The relations between the United Btates and Morocco are not as clearly' de fined as between this country and nations of continental Europe, and therefore the procedure is Indefinite. Aitlng Secretury ' Adee has asked the solicitor for the State department for a ruling to determine Just what the department may do. The deposit Is reported to be shout $12,0O and it Is said Btensland may also have other fund! in foreign bunking concern!. If this hould be the case, the Chicago authorities prob ably will ask the State deuunnieut for as sistance in recovering ibnn. Illinois U Analooa.

A hot and sudden blast of file from the depths below badly scorched the bodies of the men, and they beat a hurYled retreat. Those who comprised this daring party were: A. Hovey of New York. John E.

WARRANTS FOR THREE MEN Two Offioials of Looted Philadelphia Cot, cern Will Bo Arretted Todty. THIRD MAN IS PROMOTER SEGAL They Are Accused of Conspiring with Dead Prealdeat to Defraud Trust Company Methods of Swindlers. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 4. District At- torney Bell Is authority for the statement tiiat warrants were prepared tonight for the arrest of William F. North, treasurer of the Real Estate Trust company; M. 8. Collingwood. assistant treasurer, and Adolph Segal, on charges of conspiring with Frank K. Hippie, the suicide presi dent of the Institution, to loot Its treasury. Segal is' the promoter who borrowed mote than tS.uOD.OW from the bank on flimsy collateral to miance his enterprises. Hor ace Hill, the aged auditor, will not be arrested. He Is 75 yeara old and broken In health. The district attorney says he was a figurehead and a tool used by the looters. When the district attorney was asked how the Hlpple-Segal conspiracy was con summated, he said: "Blank notes with Segal's name attached have been discovered mid t think we ore on the track of an explanation of the $2..0,WO difference in the amounts of loans aa given by the books of the bank and the statement of Mr. Segal. "Evidently Hippie and 8egif were parties In all the letter's wildcat schemes. Hippie while he was not directly Implicated as a stockholder or director In the various com panies organized w.lth the funds of the company, was represented In each of them through his son, who was treasurer of four of the five companies. "Segal's method of doing business was to buy up or orgnni a company at an ex pense of ISO.ono. He would then mortgage It for eight or ten times this amount. Issue bonds and pledge these as collateral for mora money. "Mr. North appears to have been the ex ecutor of the Hlpple-Segal plans and Col llngwood knew what North knew." Rei-elver Earle announced today that Adolph Segal had turned over his entire Interest in the Pennsylvania Sugar refinery. The plant Is heavily encumbered, however, and Segal's Interest will be of little ben efit to the depositors. ' Mr. Earle also Hated that the loan to the Arllng Brook company, a Baltimore realty concern, amounting to nearly $300,000, was paid to day. PRIMARIES IN WISCONSIN Governor Jnmea A.

Governor Johnson and a ticket of "health" was put In nomination this afternoon by the democratic state convention at the BIJou theater. The convention was one of the shortest on record. Tn barely an hour after It was called to order Governor Johnson had been re-nomlnated. The threatened breach between Governor Johnson and the Hearst leaders seems in a fair way to be healed. Appeals for har mony are having their effects. The Hearst men, however, are carrying their main point. Frank A. Day will manage the campaign, but he will not be chairman of the state central committee. He will probably be chairman of the executive committee and the other appointment will be more or less a figurehead during the Convention. The probable selection is Tn D. O'Brien of St. Paul.

Sullivan of Illinois, whose resignation Mr. Bryan had de mand, but who was endorsed by the re cent state convention, which also declared Itself In favor of Mr. Bryan aa the next democratic nominee for president. Mr. Mryan not only scored Sullivan and his political methods unmercifully, but In formed the democrats present, many ol whom were delegates to the recent statt convention, that If they accepted Mr. Sul livan they could not endorse him in any way. He Informed them emphatically thai he would have none of the approval of th members of Illinois and that he repudiated their recent endorsement of him. Mr. Bryan's Afternoon Speech. In the afternoon address Mr. Bryan said regarding his recent utterances in New York on government ownership of tha railways:. ...I ,.ttd.wnBt 1 thught with the expec tation that everybody else would ex. rclso the same freedom In the discussion of the question. I waa led to my conclusiona by the corruption of the people of the United btates by the railroads, as I have seen It. In my Judgment we have had no more corrupting influence in American po'itlca than the railroads. It has corrupted tli people by the pass. I have known con ventions to he controlled by passus. I have known Judges to be elected by rail roads snd I have reached the conclusion the this corruption cannot be eliminated until these natural monopolies become the property of the government. 1 am op. poaed to centralization, and becauso I be lieve fhat the state can best do that which concerns the state alone, because I bellevn In t'.ie doctrine of self-government, thorn fore I prefer that instead of having; nil the railroads owned by the federal gov ernment, we should have the local lines owned by state governments and only the trunk lines owned by the federal govern ment. Growth of Democracy Abroad. I was told ln Europe tht when X re turned home, I would And a great many more people friendly to roe thaii there had been st some previous periods of my career. It was suggested that absenc made the heart grow fonder. This was pleasant in one way, but disagreeable In another, for I could not be alwent always, and If absence made the heart grow fondei there might be some danger in my return. I was worried when I received renorti from various conventions, endorsements, kind resolutions, and It looked for a whilt as If the presidency with all its trouble! and Its trials was about to be forced upon me whether I would or not. In the midst of my gloom I saw an In terview attributed to a prominent repub lican. He said that they had been a little scared, hut that I was coming home soon and would commence talking and then all danger would be removed. I have breathed easier since then and 1 can say to the republicans that if I do not kill my chances by talking it will not bs because I will not talk enough. I want to say to you that all over tht world t'ueie 'a a perceptible growth Ir democratic ideas. When I speak ot democracy, I speak, nf course. In that broader sense in which democracy mesni ilhe rule of the people. I think possibly meil nai Dwn irnn rruniren in hup mu'i- try in the direction of democracy thar in some of the countries of the old world. That may be explained by saying that w have less distance to travel than they havi in Europe and that we have to some ex tent felt a counteracting influence ln ths last twenty-five years, that to my mind, can be traced to the dominating Influence, in politics of great corporations Interested in favorite legislation and In special priv ileges'. Popnlnr Choice of Senators. , Mr. Bryan then amid much applause advocated the' election of United states senators by the people, and added: I think It is time to apeak plainly In re gard' to the United States senate, and ln my humble Judgment the reason why re form has been delayed for a decade and more, Is because probatory wealth ha put Its operating tools in the senate and until this can be remedied and the sens It brought into harmony with the voters ol this country there is not much prospect of reform. Mr. Bryan contended that the republican party while In power had not settled j a single important question. He declared V : that the prosperity of the country had oome in spite of the republican party, and not because of anything it had dons. On the trust question he said: . To the extent that the president has gone. I am glad, but he has not gone far enough, and he has not been able to take his party with him as far as he has gone. Mr. Bryan declared at the outset thst tha only platform from which a successful fight could be made sglnt the trust was that a private monopoly Is indefensible and Intolerable. A "good trust" he declared to be out of the question for the reason that God never made men good enough to. withstand the temptations that are pre sented by u private monopoly. As a remedy for the trust proposition, Mr. Bryan declared that he was In favor of shutting up the state that allowed Us in corporation, sny trust that oppressed nie people and allowing' It to operate in no otner state. n wo.uu i ... - nit Ion to eat up tue bii mm u " - bli ... c 1 . . . , .
