The cable says: -Y,
Str-nsland made a full confession to As
alaunt State's Attorney Olsen thla after
noon He admitted uttering IMO.oriO worth
of forged notes, said ha knew he waa guilty
and that he expected conviction and a
term In prison.
His first fall came ten years ago on a
single note. As he got deeper Into the hole,
Instead of getting out, he made more drafts
on the bank's vaults. Then, when he was
In tip to hla neck. Cashier Heiing came
with tha proposition of forged notea. From
that moment hla downward career waa
rapid- Herlng forged the notea to help out
Stcnaland'a had investments and In return
Herlng helped hlmrelf ,to the cash, as lie
reeded It to play the races "
"Yea," said Btensland. speaking of Her
lng. "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. I think, did all."
"What about Theodore? Did he have
guilty knowledge?" Stenaland was asked.
"No, my boy la as Innocent as you are.
He waa only In the tank to examine ab

Assistant State's Attorney Barbour to-.
nay made a demand on the united Etatea
government for a warship In whlcH to
bring Paul O. Stensland, the fugitive
banker, now under arreat in Tangier, back
to this country. The request waa today
ent by Mr. Barbour to Governor Deneeti
following a aeries of communications be

Mr. Barbour urged the' seeming peril of
bringing Btensland across foreign coun
tries where tha prisoner might suddenly
balk at the prospect of returning to the
United Slates. Moreover, Mr.- Barbour
tears that Btensland may kill himself, and

Secretary of State Adee:
There Is no extrsditton treaty with
Morocco. Do you wish us to request the
sultan to render up Stenaland aa a
frlc-irily aot, on evidence shown of hla
guilt?
Cashier Herlng waa filled wiih bitterness
today when he read the statement cabled
from Tangier In which Stenaland accused
him of being author of the ruin of the
bank. Herlng denied thla with much en
ergy and reiterated his statements of yea
terday In, which he declared that Stenslnnd
led him Into the trouble Instead of hlru
leading Btensland.
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.

NO ANGLO-SPANISH ALLIANCE
Talk In Proirrcsa, but Sothlna; Has
Been Decided I'pon at
Present.
MADRID. Sept. 4 It is considered in
well informed circles here that the an
nouncement of the approaching conclu
alon of an Anglo-Spanish alliance are
quite premature. If not altogether un
founded. fk
An official of high rank informed the
Associated Press today that nothing was
known here except the statement con
tained in the press reports. Should an
alliance be formed, however, France un
doubtedly would regard it favorably, Its
Interests being closely bound up with
those' of Spain and Great Britain. The
Informant of the Associated Press did
not consider it improbable that a written
alliance would be concluded, while on the
other . harid. a cordial ., understanding,
amounting --vtr.lilally ta,1n, alliance was'
quite possible in the future and this was
fully consistent with French views.

STRIKE BREAKERS AT 'FRISCO
Memly Arrived Crowd Say that They
Come to Stop tho
. Strike.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 4.-A . thousand
strong, the second contingent of Farley
strike breakers wre landed in this city
this morning between midnight and dawn.
tTnliko the first trainload, the majority of
the new arrivals' are experienced motor
men and conductors, and the few de
serters front their ranks say thaHhey have
come west with a realization of conditions
and a determination to break the strike at
all hazards.
I'nlon pickets met the men when they
landed and marched beside them as they
hurried south. The strikers used what per
suasion they could to draw individuals
from the column and were successful with
a number, who managed to escape without
Interference from the guards.
No attempt was made by the officials to
run cars thla morning.
The Bulletin says that Mayor Sclimlts
is now busy on a plan of arbitration which
he believes will bring the strike to an
end and result In satisfactory adjustment
to both sides. He intends to gather a
board of arbitration, the members of
which will be acceptable both to the
United Railroads and to the striking car
men. His method will be to suggest two
names of known Integrity and ask these
two men to select a third member on the
board.. It Is understood that' several
names have already been proposed and
that both parties to the controversy have
been sounded with some hope of success.
Mayor Schmlts is confident that his plan
will prove successful and Is bending all
his energies to bring It to a conclusion.

CHICAGO. Sept. 4. A dispatch to the
Inter Ocean from Mexico City says: With
their bodies severely burned by the fires
of Mount Collma volcano, fourteen adven
turesome delegates to the International
Congress of Geologists, which meets 1n
this city this week, returned here yester
day. The 'trip to tbe crater of the volcano
was a perilous one. It had never been ac
complished before by any one altrough
several attempts , to scale the precipitous
mountain had been made.
The members of the party of mountain
climbers went about their work method
ically. They established camps at different
points on the ascent and made a certain
amount of progress ' each ' day until the
summit was finally reached.- The. volcano
was pouring forth great volumes of smoke,
but this did not deter the explorers from
advancing to the very edge of m the crater.
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. Wolfe
and H P. Ciciand of Boston, H. W. Reld
of Baltimore Rudolph Di led man of Albany,

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

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.

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

The activity of the officers who have
been endeavorlnar to thwart the rlini nf
agitators here. It la learned, is due to the

here from uananea to warn them that tiie
revolutionists were plsnning an sttack on
all ths towns on ths border.

HARMONY m MINNESOTA
Hearst May Make Peace with John
son, Who Is Earned for
Governor.
MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 4. 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.
The convention was one of the largest
held by the democracy in the state In
recent years.

CHICAGO. Sept. 4. William Jennlng
Bryan, as the guest of the local democ
racy, delivered today within eight hours
two addresses. His first speech, which
was made at a luncheon given In his
honor by the members of the Iroquon
cU dealt entirely with tho political is.
sues and economic questions of the day
The second speech, which was made al t
banquet given in his honor by the Jef.
ferson club, wus devoted to National Com
mlttecman Roger C. 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 ... -
