visits to the three admirals and to
the troop ship Yankee, just in with
a detachment OF marines from Santo

launches.

welt reached the deck of the Mayfiow-

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Philippine Commission to Establish
Them on the Islands.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The Philip,
pine islands are to have a postal saw
ings bank system. The Philippine
commission has just passed an act
establishing such an institution, to be
operated under the direction OF the
department of commerce and police.
The institution of the postal savings
bank by the Philippines suggested the
trial in the islands of other seml-so-
cialistic governmental measures. This
experiment will be watched with in
terest, as there is a possibility that it
may be followed by government own
ership of other utilities, such as rail.
roads, telegraph lines and banks.
Manila, Iloilo and Cebu will be pro-
vided with postal banks at once, and
the other cities, towns and villages
will be given the same facilities as
rapidly as practicable.

P. 0. STFNSIAND IS CAPTURED
CHICAGO BANK WRECKER is RUN

the Tribune from Tangiers, Morocco,
announces the capture in that city OF
Paul O. Stensland, president and

The arrest was made by a repre-
sentative OF the Tribune and Assist
ant State Attorney Olsen of this city,
who have been on the trail of Stems
land since Aug. Is. Stensland had
many friends among women of this
city, upon whom he was accustomed
to spend much money, and one OF
these, feeling that she had not been
treated by him with due considera-
ton, came to the Tribune a few days
after his flight with information re-
garding the direction in which he had
gone.
Her information was somewhat in.
definite, but investigation proved it's
probable accuracy. 1t was ascertain
ed that Stensland had fed from Chi
cago on July II, gone directly to New
York and sailed in steamer OF the
White Star line for Liverpool. He
remained in that city for two days
and then took a steamer for Gibraltar,
which he reached on July q.
From there he took boa. for Tan
giers. The Tribune correspondent
and Assistant States Attorney Olsen
were hot on his trail and arrived in
Tangiers about cne hour after le had
left it for a trip to the east coast OF
Africa.
1t was ascertained that he had de.
posted $4,000 in bank of Tangier.
and believing that he would soon re-
turn, the two men decided to await
him there.
A reward of $4,000 has been offered
for the arrest of Stensland. and since
his departure from Chicago many de-
tectives have been on the hunt for
