Paul O. Stensland Is
Arrested in
Morocco
Capture Follows Excitin g
Chase by Chicago
Official
Depositors Rejoice When Word Is Re-
ceived That President of the
Wrecked Bank Is Be-
hind Bars

Special to The Herald
CHICAGO, Sept 3.-When it became
known today that Banker Stensland,
the man who wrecked the Milwaukee
avenue institution recently and left
thousands of depositors without dol
lar in the world, had been arrested,
the joy of those who had suffered at
his hands knew no bounds.
While the details were meagre, the
telegram conveying the news had every
appearance of being authentic, and for
the time being men and women who
had pla ced their savings of years in
the bank for safe keeping almost for
got their loss while considering the
fact that possibly justice would over
take the man who had robbed them.
AS the news was flashed over the
wires and few minutes later given to
the public. many of the depositors were
at the doors of the bank waiting to
receive a small payment on their
claims.
"Oh, If they only bring that man
back to Chicago and send him to the
penitentiary for life,' said one frail
little woman, who carried baby in
her arms, Il will be satisfied. He has
caused me to lose nearly $500, money
which l earned a few cents at a time
and boarded as carefully as though my
life depended upon 1t. That money
was to have gone to educate my chill
dren, so that they would not have to
be a servant as l have been, but 1t is
all gone now"
But they won't send him to prison
for life," said an old soldier who was
next in line.
THE chances are that he will be
sent up. if at all, only for few years
and the pardoning board will do the
rest"
AS the gray-haired soldier boy of '63
moved along, one step nearer the win
dow where he was to receive few
dollars of what rightfully belonged to
him, he showed his armless sleeve into
his pocket, tried to look brave for the
sake of the little woman ahead of him
who had spoken, and leaning over,
whispered to her:
But never mind, my friend, the time
is coming when men who do these
things will not escape the law, and we
may both live to see that day, too"
And so the depositors talked among
themselves of the man who had robbed
them that he might live in luxury sup
port the women whom he chose to as
,sociate with and lastly to leave for a
foreign country. while hunger, in some
cases, was knocking at his victims
doors.

IRRIGATION IS

Vice President Fairbanks Is Guest Of
Idaho Citizens, One of Whom
Mentions Him as Presi-

Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 3.-Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks was today the guest
of the city of Boise and the national
irrigation congress, which convened
here for its fourteenth annual session.
The convention received letter OF
greeting from President Roosevelt
which provoked hearty applause, and
later by resolution Of the congress an
expression of thanks was telegraphed
to the president at Washington.
Vice President Fairbanks address
was fraught with encoura cement for
the irrigationists, and that the good
wishes which he bespoke were fully ap-
preciated was evidenced, not only by
the hearty applause which greeted his
speech, but by the still greater ap-
plause which later was provoked when
Hon. Fred T. Dubois, Idaho member
of the United States senate, In alwitty
speech cornplimented the Vice president
as probable Republican candidate Tor
the presidency of the United States.
Should fate decree the election of Mr..
Fairbanks to the highest Office within
the gift of the nation, said the Idaho
senator, he would have the confidence
and support of the entire west, whose
interests he has always staunchly sup
ported.
The delegates who numbered more
than 1000 and represented more than
half of the states Of the union, were
welcomed in brief addresses by Mayor
James A. Pinney of Boise, Governor
Frank r. Gooding and Senator Du-
bois Speeches in response We're de-
liyered by United States Senator
Thomas H. Carter of Montana, Cover
nor George E. Chamberlain of Oregon
and Cyrus Happy of Spokane, Wash.
Pardee Not Present
Governor George C. Pardee of Cali
fornia, president of the congress, was
not present, but sent his annual ad-
dress to the congress by mail. The
afternoon session will be devoted
mainly to addresses by officials of the
government reclamation service In re-
lation to their work.
MANY Influential officers of the re-
,clamation service are urgently reconl-
mending washington as the next place
for the congress, arguing that the mold
ing Of the congress in washington
while the national congress is In ses-
sion would necessarily have an I'M
portant educational effect in the right
direction.
Vice President Fairbanks this even
ing was rendered a reception at the
city hall and at $3.50 o'clock he deliv-
cred a twenty minute address to the
laboring men of the city from the bal
cony of the city hall
Though it had been planned as
labor demonstration, the vast assem-
blage represented the whole citizen
ship of Boise, and the vice president in
his address made no reference to the
laboring men or labor issues.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.-District
Attorney Bell, with the aid of three
assistants, today began an investiga-
tion of the affairs of the Real Estate
Trust company, which failed last week.
In his preliminary examination with
Receiver Earle, Mr. Bell said he found
evidence to cause several arrests, but
he preferred to make complete inde-
pendent investigation of the company's
affairs before obtaining warrants.
Mr.. Bell said that he holds that any
officer or director who had knowledge
of Hipple's irregular transactions and
took no action is criminally liable.
1t is believed the company will never
resume business and that the percent
age of money the depositors will re-
ceive will not be as large as was at
first expected.
