High Price for Readers.

CHICAGO, September 4.-When the pub
lie schools opened here today for the fall
and winter term the principals received the
following from the board of education
-*''Please advise the pupils of your school
not to purchase any text books on reading

The order was due to complication
which has arisen over an effort to intro
duce a new series of readers. The school
board made the change. but learned after

The Play Spirit.
From Good Housekeeping.


Napoleon, understanding the French char
acter undid some of the work of the revo-
lutionists and restored certain festivals and
parades which are dear to the French heart.
The people must have their spectacles and
their frolics and were the more orderly for
them. the crafty Corsican knew. The time
and the money for these gambols are WISE
ly expended, to a reasonable limit; there
are no doubt unreasonable lengths. as, for
example in certain of the Latin countries
where holidays and saints days leave but
slight continuity to business. 1t Is fair
question whether our own country con-
cedes quite enough yet to the play spirit.
Recent tests show that our artisans per-
form a considerably larger percentage Of
work IN a day than those of England or
France and presumably than those of any
other nation. The natural balance and out
let is found in sports like baseball, and the
reckless abandon Of the Fourth of July.
We are strenuous to the breaking point, in
our work and in our play.

DEPOSITED BY sTENSLAND.
Money May Be Tied Up in Tangier
Bank

The State Department is apparently more
concerned over the steps taken to tie up a
deposit of money which had been made In a
bank at Tangier. Morocco, by Paul o.
Stensland. president of the Milwaukee Ave
nue. State Bank of Chicago, than with the
extradtion Of the fugitive banker himself
Acting Secretary Adee is giving the ques-
ton his personal attention.
1t is the impression that no international
complications would arise If authorities
quietly kidnapped Mr.. Stensland and re-
turned him to this country for trial, but 1t
Is entirely a different question when 1t
comes to the recovery Of money deposited
In foreign bank regardless OF whether the
money was stolen not. There are GER
tain questions of international law involved
which must be settled before the deposit
can be gained for the creditors of the de-
funct Chicago bank. The relations between
the United States and Morocco are not as
clearly defined as between this country and
nations of continental Europe and therefore
the procedure Is indefinite. Acting Secre-
tary Adee has asked the solicitor for the
State Department for a ruling to determine
just what the department may do.
The deposit Is believed to be about $12-
600, and. 1t Is said, Stensland may also
have other funds in foreign banking con-
Germs. If this should be the case the Chi
cago authorities will ask the State Depart
| ment for assistance in recovering them.
Four dispatches were received at the
State Department today from Illinois au-
thorities. two from Gov. Dineen and two
from States Attorney Healey. Although
these were not made public it was stated
that all were in the nature of appeals to
the department that 1t do everything in its
power to extradite StenSland.
The Illinois authorities are cognlzant of
the difficulties that must be overcome in
view of the fact that there is no extradi-
ton treaty between this country and Mo-
rocco. At the same time they look to Mr..
Adee to find way. The present acting
secretary of state was in charge of the le
cation at Madrid when William M. Tweed
of New York was arrested in Spain. There
was then no extradition treaty between the
two countries, but Capt. Franklin, now
Rear Admiral Franklin retired, was cruis-
ing in the Mediterranean on a war vessel.
He was ordered to touch at Gibraltar on
his way to Aemrican waters and Tweed
was informed by Mr.. Adee that passage
home awaited him on board the war vessel.
Tweed had been SO harassed and was so
nearly heartbroken at what he termed his
ruined life that he decided to surrender
The admrafs suit was given to him and
| he travelled to the United States with every
comfort.
That was the only way Tweed could have
been secured. If an effort had been made
to escort him through France or Portugal
the authorities there would have objected.

TALK OF ELIGIBLES
DISCUSSION OF MEN FOR APPEL
LATE COURT BENCH.
Justices Stafford and Gould Promi-
nently Mentioned by Friends
Other Jurists Also Named.

The chief topic of conversation about the
city hall today concerned the naming by
the President of a successor to Justice
Charles H. Duell. associate Justice. Dis
trict Court of Appeals, whose resignation,
it is stated, was recently rendered to
President Roosevelt The news came as a
surprise to the entire bar.
Opinions vary as to the person likely to
be honored by the President with the APP
pointment. The name of Associate Jus
tice Wendell P. Stafford of the District
Supreme Court was mentioned in The Sun
day Star as the choice of a number of
local attorneys. Quite few lawyers spoke
favorably today of this solution of the
problem
Other attorneys. and especially the home
rule element of the bar, will, it is under
stood. strongly urge the appointment of
Associate Justice Ashley NJ. Gould of the
District Supreme Court the successor
to Justice Duel. The friends of Justice
Gould point out that the District of CO.
lumbia should have representative on the
bench of the District Court of Appeals, and
say that if member of the lower court
is to be elevated to the position made va
cant. their candidate should have the pref
erence. Justice Gould's commission assigns
him to the District of Columbia, where he
has spent his entire time since entering
on the practice of law.
His appointment United States district
dltOIHey was also DIS q OlStTlCC HAL, II IL
stated
Justice Gould has presided over a num-
Der of the most important criminal cases
that have been tried in this jurisdiction. He
also served in equity for more than year.
His opinions are given great weight by the
profession generally and 1t Is a matter of
record that of about thirty cases appealed
to the District Court of. Appeals from his
decision. but five have been reversed. JUS
+ tee Gould. like the other members of the
lower court, has frequently sat. with the
appellate court in the absence of one of the
justices of that court.
Will Make No Personal Effort.
Justice Gould's friends say he will make
no personal effort to secure the promotion.
but would. of course. feel honored SHOULD
the Presidents choice fall on him.
Other members of the lower court are
being named for the position, notably JUS
tice Anderson and Justice Wright. but it is
not known whether any active steps have
been taken in their behalf.
Should the choice go outside the members
OF the lower court and the President be
persuaded to appoint a District man,
strong sentiment is in evidence today in
favor of Attorney Joseph J. Darlington.
who was strongly urged for the position
when Justice McComas was appointed to
that court.
