CORPORA TONS WAR OVER
DEATH OF HUMBLE MUL e

Associated Pres. TO The Evening Times.
Philadelphia Pa, Sept. 4.-The Cru
chile Steel Company of America,
capital $50 100000, and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. capital $315,000,000,
have quarreled over the death OF a
poor, despised mu':a.
The question is who is responsible
for the death of the mule?" Acres OF
Office stationery will be wasted: whole
sheets of stamps used. and fair stem
Ographers have told the story of the
death of the dumb servant innumel
able times, in the correspondence that
has followed the inquest into the
mangling of the mule four months ago.
Compromises were proposed in vain.
The Crucible Steel company of Amer

for the death of one mule. and for the
mental anguish that followed the ami

Pennsylvania railroad refused to ad

had plenty more mules, anyway.

covery Of $4,000 in Tangier
Bank.

Chicago, Sept. Assistant States
Attorney Barbour today made de-
mand on the United States government
6or warship in which to bring Paul
o. Stensland, the fugitive banker now
under arrest in Tangier, back to this
country. The request was today sent
by Barbour to Governor Deneen, fol-
lowing series of communications be-
tween the state executive and Acting
Secretary of State Adee at Washing
ton. Barbour urged the seeming peril
of bringing Stensland across foreign
countries where the prisoner might
suddenly balk at the prospect of re-
turning to the United States.
Moreover, Barbour fears that Stems
land may kill himself, and points out
with vigor the advisability of having
Stensland brought back to this coun-
try as a federal prisoner on board a
warship.
Washington, d. c., Sept. Tile
state department is more greatly con-
cerned over the steps taken to tie up
the deposit of money which had been
made in the bank at Tangier, Morocco,
by Paul o. Stensland, president of the
Milwaukee Avenue State bank of Chi
cago, than with the extradition of the
fugitive banker himself Acting Sec
retary of State Adee is going over the
matter personally. 1t is the impress
sion here that no international COM
plications would arise if the author
tiles quietly kidnapped Stensland and
returned him to this country for trial,
but it is an entirely different question
when 1t comes to the recovery of
money deposited in foreign banks, re-
gardless of whether the money was
stolen or not. There are certain ques-
tions of international law involved
which must be settled before the de-
posit can be gained for the creditors
of the defunct Chicago bank. The re-
lations between the United States and
MMorocco are not as clearly defined as
between the nations of continental
Europe, and therefore procedure is in
definite. The deposit is reported to
be about $4,000. and it is said Stems
land may also have other funds in for
eign banking concerns. If this should
be the case the Chicago authorities
probably will ask the state department
for assistance in recovering them.

grew bulllier and bulkier until yes
terday, when the Crucible Steel Com
pany of America brought in common
pleas court an action against the rail-
road company for $500 damages for
tha death of one of its mules at the
Pike street crossing of the Allegheny
Valley tracks on April 26 last. The
plaintiffs pct.ticn states that the ami
NAL was hitched to dump cart at
the time of his collision with hostile
train-an unnecessarily hostile train,
the petitioners seem to believe. Also,
the harness was found to be badly
tangled and torn after the accident.
The fate of the driver is not men,
toned in the petition, but it is sup
posed he escaped. Maybe he will be
present at the trial to tell the story.
Not one of the eminent counsel for the
Pennsylvania railroad would discuss
the case last night nor give hint
as to what the railroad had up its
sleeve to combat the damaging state
ments hurled into common pleas
court No. by the steel company.
But then the Crucible Steel COM
pany of America claims that the late
lamented animal wasn't a kicking
mule.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Organized la
Dor has no fight with President Roose-

Federation of Labor into the political

Commissioner Sargent is identified
with organized labor, and was presi-

Firemen.
THE protest is against certain con
gressmen, who, in the opinion of the
American Federation of Labor. have
displayed an Indifference to the cause

not mean that the president has lost
any of his popularity with organized

president has given us the benefit of
his large influence in regard to legis-
lation desired by labor. We do not
hold him responsible for the shortcom-
ings OF any congressman"

IN OLD WISCONSIN.
First Primary Election In That State
Being Held Today.


Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept 4.-Demo-
Gratis and republicans of Wisconsin are
today holding their first general prim-
ary election to name their candidates
for state offices by direct vote. Nom-
nations are to be made for governor,
acknowledgements, secretary of state,
state treasurer, and commissioner of
insurance, also for members of con-
gress.
On the republican side the factional
warfare between LaFOllette and
Spooner, which has kept Badger state
politics at the boiling point for a
long time past, is the most important
factor in the contests for state offices
and also for congressman. Governor
J. o. Davidson, who succeeded to the
governorship on the resignation of La
Toilette, is the leading republican
candidate for that office. All other
republican candidates for the guber-
Material nomination have withdrawn
with the exception Of l. L. Lenroot,
speaker of the house Of representa-
tives, and who is La Follette's per-
sonal choice for the governorship.
Davidson is standing on a platform
of harmony, but agitation for any
further needed railroad reforms,
against Lenroot, whose battle cry is
down with the stalwarts. There are
several candidates for each of the
other places on the republican state
ticket and in nearly every case the
contest is lively one.
Though there are several interesting
contests on for places on the demo-
cratic ticket, the situation as whole
is much more harmonious than with
the republicans. The two aspirants
for the democratic gubernatorial
nomination are Ernst Merton of Wau-
kesha and John Aylward of Madison.

tinues here, but in half-hearted way.
Nothing definite has been proposed.
The only actual effort was the starting
of committee of veterans for Pinar

who by the common consent of the
public, is regarded as the right man to
conduct any negotiations, arrived here
today from Puerto Padre, Province of
Santiago, where he is manager of a
large American sugar plantation, and
held long conference with President
Palma. He refused to make any state
ment after his interview with the
president. General Menocal has no
definite peace plan. but has already
stated that he was not willing to at
tempt any negotiations without the en-
press authorization of the government.
This positively has not been forthcom-
ing.
