STE NSLAND SPEEDS
BACK TO CHICAGO
NOW DECLARES OTHERS MUST
SUFFER WITH HIM
Bank Wrecker Appears Pleased at
Prospect of Going Back Where
He Goes to Protect Inno-
cent People
BY Associated Press.

by ASSOCldleu TIeSS'
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Paul o.
Stensland, self confessed embezzler of
funds from the Milwaukee Avenue
State Bank of Chicago, of which he
was president is now on his way to
Chicago, a passenger on the Twentieth
Century limited, ready and willing, he
says, to admit his guilt, but at the same
time determined to accuse others whom
he claims were equally culpable for the
wrecking of the institution and it's at
tendant losses of millions of dollars.
Last night and early today Stensland
was a prisoner at police headquarters,
but his prominence afforded him no
privilege whatsoever.
Following a sleepless night in cheer
less cell, in which pine board was the
only resting place, he was lined up
with a score of pickpockets and other
petty criminals and forced to pass in
review before the detective sergeants.
There he was measured and photo
graphed for the headquarters gallery.
After that conditions changed for
StenSland. He was escorted without
physical restraint to the district at
torneY's office and there turned over to
the custody of Chicago detectives.
Under these officers his freedom be-
came more pronounced.
Walks Down Broadway
After he waived his eXtradition
rights he was taken to a Broadway ho-
tel for lncheon with his son, Theodore
StenSland, and later for walk down
Broadway to Fifth avenue.
Stensland's condition, both mental
and physical, seemed vastly improved
over the morning, when he was in a
state of partial collapse. He appeared
pleased at the prospect of getting back
to Chicago.
With Stensland on the train, which is
due at Chicago tomorrow morning, are
District States Attorney Olsen, De-
tective Sergeant Kinder, who is person
ally responsible for Stensland and
Theodore Stensand, the SON..
The final word of the returning Off
cial as he left New York was that he
was glad to get back to help in closing
up the banks affairs.
He wanted to protect innocent people
he declared, to incriminate those who
should be incriminated and show the
Chicago public that he was not the
black sheep they had him painted.

The Moderate party, which six weeks

Office I'm the island, national, provincial

every government official from Presi-s

The Liberal leaders characterize the

Taft regards IL as an unwarranted, dis
honorable attempt to force the hand of
the United States into Intervention.
This, 1T has been stated. is precisely
what President Roosevelt has been
most anxious to avoid.
1t is still just barely possible that
President Roosevelt, through Secretary
Taft and Assistant Secretary of State
Bacon, may yet arrange to establish the
Liberals in control OF the Cuban gov
ernInent, but this is regarded ms only
the remOtest sort of possibility.
With either party installed in power
there would still remain n condition of
deplOrable dissatisfaction and unrest,
and tonight there appears nothing
whatever to promise relief save full
control by the United States.
