Gummere Asked for Information.
WASHINGTON. Sept 5.-Addltional in
structions were sent by the State depart
men today to American Minister Gummere,
to Morocco, requesting the desired sur
render of Paul o. StensIand, president Of
the milwaukee Avenue State bank OF Chi
cago, to Assistant States Attorney Olsen
Of Illinois, who captured the fugitive banker
in Tangier. MIR. Gummere was directed to
inform the State department in detail what
the attitude OF the Moroccan government
would be on the subject of the surrender
OF Stensiand in the absence of extradition
treaty between the two countries.
When the reply from the American
minister is received Mr.. Scott, the solicitor
~ lala artr .As.f xwfl
asked for by Mr.. Adee as to the powers
Of the United States TO secure stensland
and to recover the deposit of $4,000 made
by stensland in the French bank at
Tangier.
Moors Will Surrender Prisoner.
The Moorish authorities will interpose no
objection TO the removal to, America OF
stensiand. A dispatch to this effect has
been received at the state department from
Minister Gummere at Tangier dated today.
The dispatch added that stensland Is a
;prfsoncr N ths American legation there
/, AS 10 the means OF returning stensland TO
this country the state and navy officials
were In consultation today. at which It was
indicated that It would not be easy to find
a suitable warship within a reasonable time
on which to bring Stensland back. There
are no American warships at the present
time in the Mediterranean or European
waters
The state department officials are In
clined to think that merchant ship, after
all might serve and their plan to have
some Mediterranean liner cross over from
Gibraltar to Tangier and take Stensland
aboard there, not stopping afterward al
any European port and thus avoiding any
embarrassing issues with foreign officials
as to extradition. 1t Is suggested. however
that upon arrival in New York. Stensland
through his attorneys may apply for habeas
corpus on the claims that his arrest will
be Illegal and 1t Is admitted that the ques
tion is a new one, the case being without
precedent.
