The College Bred Farmer.

Prof. Z. II. Bailey, director of the Cor
nell university college of agriculture, in
the third of his series of articles for The
Century, gives the result of his inquiry
among his students as to what practical
use they expected to put their education.
Of the ITO replies received, s~eventy-eight
were those of students reared on the farm.
OF these, sixty-eight desired to go into
practical farming and then to teaching
and experimental work. OF the sixty-nine
students reared in town or city, forty
four wish to go into practical farming,
fourteen into teaching, eight into land
scape gardening and the rest undecided.
OF the fourteen women students, two
want to become practical farmers and
twelve teachers of nature study and agri-
culture. OF the eighteen foreign students,
fifteen wish to return to the farm and
three to enter experimental work. Prof.
Bailey says that the agricultural college
is now teaching from the farm rather than
from the academic point of view,

States Attorney James J. Barbour in a
cablegram directing him to notify the
authorities at Washington at once.
Within a few hours new warrants
had been issued for Stensland, the State
and federal governments were at work
! preparing for his return to Chicago, n
arrangements had been begun to send
an officer to Tangier, if necessary, to
| bring him back. One Of the new war
rants charges Stensland with the lar
ceny and embezzlement Of S1,OO3,OOO
from the bank of which he was presi-
dent.
One of the steps taken at Washington
was to cable Minister Gummere at Tan
gier to ascertain the attitude of the
Moroccan government toward a pro-
posed surrender of Stens!and. The Uni
ted States has no extradition treaty
with Morocco.
Cables to His Son.
Before the machinery had been set in
motion for Stensland's return a cable
gram, sent by him to Theodore Stems
| lduu, LIS sui, llOLl "lDlN III uuy .
before his embellishments became
known, fell into the hands of Inspector
Shippy. In effect it said Stensland con-
sidered himself safe, and it instructed
Stensland Jr. that concealment no long
er was necessary.
Tangier is across the strait from
Gibraltar, and Stensland was about to
embark for the country in which he
finally was captured when he cabled.
Inspector Shippy declared that the ca
blegram was the only communication
received by the son from his father be-
fore the crash, and that the "letter
from st. Paul. which Theodore pre-
tended conveyed to him the news Of his
fathers defalcations had no existence.
Meanwhile Stensland is fighting des-
perately in Tangier to retain $4,000,
| probably all that remained to him Of
the thousands he stole from the de-
! p~ositors of the Milwaukee Avenue Bank
when he was captured. The money Is
OF deposit in the Compton National
d'Escompte. Mr.. Barbour received
| word that Stensland was resorting to
| lively &uutuuS " lclulI# pOSSCSSAOlh 9 VI
| the money. He accordingly cabled Mr..
Olson authority from John G. Fetzer,
receiver of the looted bank, to attach
the fund to Stensiand's credit in the
| Tangier bank in the name Of Mr.. Fet.

Particulars of the Capture.
Stensland, who has been travelling as
P. Olson, was arrested in the British
postofice at Tangier. When Stensland
came to Chicago years ago he was con-
tent with his W family name, Paul
Olsen. When he acquired wealth he
added the name S%tensland, explaining
that his identity would be confused
with that Of other Paul Olsens, and
signed himself Paul o. Stensland, the
o being all that remained of his fam
lily name. When he fled from Chicago,
July IA, he returned to the name he
had discarded. He was attaching it to
a request that his mail be forwarded
from the British p%ostoffice in Tangier
to Mogador, Morocco, when be was &C
costed by Assistant States Attorney
Olson, who said: II am Olson. Sign
your own name, Stensland."
The two having known each other
casually several years, S%tensland made
no attempt to deny his identity. He
was ~thunderstuck when accosted, but
he soon regained his composure, and
accompanied Mr.. Olson to the United
States legation, where he is being held
prisoner.

AT TRUSTS MERCY
State OF Kansas Turned Over to
Standard Oils Hands by
the Railroads.
FIGHT NEW FREIGHT LAW
Independents Who Are Compelled to
Ship in Barrels Will be
Driven Out.

Topeka, Kan, March kansas vir.
tually was delivered over into the hands
of the Standard Oil company again, as
the result of the action of the traffic
managers of all the railroads operating
in this state yesterday. 1t was decid-
ed at conference here to defy the
maximum freight rate law passed last
year by the legislature during the heat
of the fight against the oil trust and
increase the present schedule on crude
and refined oil about so per cent.
Drive Independents Out.
Unless the state is able to obtain an
opinion from the supreme court sus-
tanning the validity of the maximum
rate law, it is believed every independ-
ent oil man in Kansas will be driven
out of business.
AS the oil trust has a monopoly of
the oil tanks. the increase will not af-
feet it. while it probably will prove
ruinOuS to its competitors, who are
forced to ship their oil in barrels.
The new rate will be virtually the
same as the one charged before the
law went into effect
One of Four Enactments.
The maximum freight rate law was
one of the four enacted during the an
ti-Standard crusade a year ago, and
has been the most Serviceable of the
four. 1t cut the freight rates on oil
in two and enabled the indie
pendent producers to find market for
their low-grade or fuel oil
