Washington, Sept. ga dispatch
was received at the state department
Friday from Mr.. Grummere, American
minister to Morocco, conveying the in
formation that Paul o. Stensland. the
president of the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank of Chicago, was turned
over Friday to Managing Editor
Kelley of the Chicago Tribune and
Assistant States Attorney Olson Of
Illinois, who apprehended the fugitive
banker at Tangier. While the dis
patch does not say so, the presumption
is that Stensland will remain in con-
finement at the American legation at
Tangier until arrangements have been
perfected for his removal to the
United States.
Messrs. Kelley and Olson will be
held responsible henceforth for the
safeguarding Of the prisoner. They
will be permitted to make their own
arrangements for the return of Stems

consideration merchant vessel, the

VICTORY OF CAMBRIDGE OVER
HARVARD IN BOAT RACE
AN EASY ONE.

Putney, Eng, Sept. S.-By the de-
cistve distance of two lengths Cam

boat race, stalling off by a steady,
powerful stroke all Harvards desper-

tage OF the choice of stations, which
gave them at least length to the
good in consequence of the wind shei.
tered water on the Surrey side OF the
river. They got away ahead at the
start and were enabled to maintain
their lead and even increased it as
soon as they reached the wind rough
ened water at Chiswick Eyot. It was
a pretty race throughout.
The start was perfect, both crews
taking the water at the same instant.
Neither splashed, but with swift,
steady precision the Cambridge men
drove the bow Of their boat half a
length ahead within the first two
boats lengths. AS the English boat
shot ahead a wild yell went up from
the patriotic masses.
Cambridge went at q tremendous
pace, forty-two strokes to the minute
at the start, gradually reducing this
rate, while the Harvard men hardly
rowed above thirty-five. Cambridge
gained stroke by stroke until by the
time Craven steps were reached day.
light showed between the shells. Then
the crowds went mad and it was 100

field, on Whom the Labor Leaders
Made Fight, Has a Rather Narrow
Escape From Defeat.
Portland, Me-, Sept 11-Governor
William T. Cobb, Rep, standing on
platform devoted almost exclusively
to continuance of the proh1bitory
law Of the state, was reelected Mon
day by plurality Of less than 5000,
with but few exceptions the smallest
margin Of votes ever given Republi-
can governor in the state of Maine.
Cyrus W. Davis of Waterville, the
Democratic candidate for governor,
polled one Of the largest votes in the
history Of the party in this state. His
issue in the campaign was the re-sub-
mission of the liquor question, which
was incorporated in the state legisla.
ture four years ago.
More interesting, from a certain
standpoint, was the reelection of Con-
gresham Charles E. Littlefield, Rep,
of the Second district, by greatly re.
duced plurality. Congressman Little
fields candidacy was the subject Of
bitter opposition on the part of Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, who asked
for his defeat on the grounds that he
voted against certain labor measures
at the last session of congress.
The issue between Gompers and
Littlefeld was taken up by the Re-
publican congressional committee and
for three weeks the district has been
the scene of a hard fight in which Sec
rotary of War William H. Taft, Sena-
tor Lodge and Senator Beverage and
several congressman were pitted
against the head of the Federation of
Labor.
Mr. Littlefeld's plurality is estimat.
cd at about 1000.
All the other Republican congress
men were reelected.
The legislature will be Republican
by safe margin.
