All Saturday night and until four

filled with terrifying visions.
Stenland's Life In Tanyier.
Stensland evidently thought himself
absolutely safe from pursuit, or, like
the majority of fugitlves, became care
less Is soon as he set foot on foreign
soil. The day after his arrival he
amazed Proprietor Sterwind by ex.
hibiting, as Sterwind said, IAN awful
lot of money and great number of
big bills"
When he dumped $4,000 on the
counter the eyes of the clerk bulged
out, and he called M. Gaurant, the gov
ernor, who questioned the prospective

"But you will co." he was answered.
Listen. You think this is protected

mistake. You will be arrested here,
thrown into Moorish prison. then
taken aboard United States warship
and shipped in irons to the United
States. The question is, do you want
to go back as gentleman or as a
felon?"
Prisoner Is Obstinate.
Stensland was obstinate and de-
clared we could not take him and that

customer. Stensland, In answer to M.
Gaurant's inquiries, said he came from
America, and when further questioned
as to why he carried money in such
shape and had no letter of credit. said
he thought he would get the worst Of
exchange and concluded 1t was best to
carry currency.
Stensland soon became a conspicu.
Gus figure in Tangier The Oriental
hotel stands just between the Mosque
Dramakebir and the Cafe Franchise.
| Stensland gave the mosque the cold
shoulder but the Cafe Franchise, the

night he climbed the hills and wound
his tortuous way through alley-like
streets, from one to the other. Nine.

perial. Her partiality for him aroused
feeling of jealousy in the breast of
an Arab chief who enjoyed the smiles
of the danseuse until Stensland ap-
peared on the scene.
On Friday, September 6, instruc.
tions from the state department at
Washington were received by Minister
Gummere to surrender Stensland to
the custody of James Kelley and
Harry Olson as the officially appointed
agents of theUnited States" We gave
a formal receipt for the prisoner,
Stensland himself signing it as wit.
ness to our signatures.
The first step after receiving the
prisoner was to arrange for safeguard
, ing him. Accompanied by an attache
of the United States consular Office, we
, at once rode to the Kasbah, which is
/ the joint Moorish prison and admins
trative building. The basha, Sid Ca
dor Belghasi, was found sitting in the
, messooar, or salon of complaints.

wronged and want stern and instan

Through an interpreter we informed

AS matter Of fact, we had no lenel
right to stop Stensland. Technically
we were guilty of kidnapping, and the
situation began to look serious. The
American minister could not order
Stensland' 'sarrest until he had received
instructions from Washington. These
hei been cabled for the night before,
but had not arrived. If Stensland had
only known this he could have walked
out and told us to go to blazes. He
could not have escaped ultimately, but
he could have caused us lots of trouble.
Just as we we're about to take re-
course to argument and threats, tell
ing him we would follow him to the
end of the earth and capture him
eventually, salvation came from Min
lister Gummere. James Martin, of the
American legation staff appeared with
note from the minister saying If 1
had notified the state department he
would take the responsibility of de-
tanning Stensland, pending advices
from Washington.
BY this time the fugitive banker had
wilted and he agreed to return to
America with us any way we chose
without process.

INSURANCE OFFER
CAUSES QUERY. !.

Is 15 cents in an unsecured promis-
sorry note Of the Atlanta Birmingham
Insurance Company worth more than so
cents in stock of the same company?
That is a question that will come be-
fore the policy-hoIders Of the Atlanta
Birmingham Company at a meeting to
be held tomorrow.
The policy holders decided that they
would not settle on a basis OF 25 cents
In cash and so cents in stock, when
they met recently in the Synagogue at
Webster and California streets.
Since tlTzn President Dargan has been
engaged in preparing another offer. He
is sure that the company will not pay
more than 20 cents in cash, so he sends
word. But he will offer Is cents in
promissory notes in lieu of so cents on
stock
| Some sharp questions viii probably
be asked at the meeting tomorrow aft
/ ernoon. but so much time has lapsed
and the outlook Is considered so dreary
/ that the proposition may be accepted.
But the odd feature remains that the
company thinks that Is cents in notes
/ is a stronger offer than stock for so
per cent of a claim to induce losers to

RESCUERS EFFORTS
ALL IN VAIN.

A tragedy of the bay. the impression
Of which viii be a long time fading
from the minds of those who saw it,
was witnessed early Friday morning
from the deck of the cruiser Califor-
MIA, lying in Mission Bay, by about
fifty employees of the Union Iron
Works. Near enough to witness his
struggles but unable to send him sue
cor in time, they watched an unknown
man drown.
Where he came from. how he got
into the water or who he was are still
mysteries. All that is known is that
he made a brave struggle for life and
that he disappeared when he could
strive no longer.
The man was exhausted when first
seen Those on the California hastened
to lower a boat, but before they had
given up the struggle, and when the
would-be rescuers reached the place
where he had disappeared there was
neither ripple nor bubble on the wa
ter's surface TO mark the spot
According to Captain George Harvey,
the California's pilot, the man sank q
few seconds after he first was seen,
but TO those who watched on the one
hand the drowning man and on the
other the feverish haste of the rescue
party, II seemed an eternity.
The boat from the California cruised
about for a long time but nothing
more was seen of the unfortunate
whose identity will probably remain a
mystery until the dead body, f7oated by
the gases of decay, is picked up by
some boatman and turned over to the
Coroner.

In a comparatively short time after

Mr. H H HUI at 426 Montgomery
street, was Fe-established at 621 Sacra-
mento street, within half a block of
the former location under the name of

evidence. of the fapidity with which the
burned district is being reoecupied Mr..
HUI has been compelled on account of
largely increased business to material
ly enlarge his place and in addition has
installed a ladies department to ac-
comu1odate the growing demands for
the gentler sex. While there are now
numerous lunching places for men Ia
the old business district, not much
thought had been given to the neces-
sity of ladies, who are naturally re-
luctant to seek their lunch in a crowd
