= Chicago, Sept. THE state attor-
ney's Office has received cablegram
from Assistant Olson and Editor
Kelley Of the Chicago Tribune, in
Tangier stating that Banker Stems
land Of Chicago had been turned over
to them. 1t is believed that they will
start home with Stensland Immediate
".
All preparations for the speedy trial
Of Paul o. Stensland upon his return
TO Chicago have been made by the
states attorneys Office and the venire
Tor the grand jury which will indict the
bank wrecker was drawn yesterday
morning. Two bank employees are in
cluded in the venire. AS the Moorish
government has not fnterposed any
objections to any course the American
minister chooses to take concerning
viate the necessity Of holding the fugi-
tive until warrants are sent to Tang1er.
All questions that threatened to
hamper the speedy return of the pris-
oner to Chicago have disappeared ex-
cept the question of transportation and
that is now regarded as minor one.
Two courses are open-one to place
Stensland on the first merchant vessel
touching at Tangier on her way to the
United States and the other to await
the arrival at that port of the naval re-
frigerating ship Glacier, due in about
three weeks at Gibraltar.
Would Prevent Complications.
Once aboard that vessel, 1t is con-
eeded the chance Of a rescue through
slabaas corpus or other proceedings
would be greatly mimized If not alto
gether eliminated. The government
would be in a position to safeguard the
fugitive bankers person from any kind
Of a legal proceeding designed to Sc
cure his release from custody. The
Glacier could be stopped at cea within
the three mile limit after her arrival in
American waters so that an officer
from Illinois might board her and serve
Stensland with warrant of arrest
Such a course would, In the judgment
Of the law officers of the state de-
partment, preclude the possibility Of
habeas corpus proceedings being sue
cessfully conducted at Philadelphia or
New York.
Precedent Is Found.
The department Is not very much
concerned about this contingency no
matter what means Of transportation
are employed to bring Stensland back
because the solicitor has found among
the decisions Of the supreme court one
which has direct bearing upon Stems
lands case. The case of Ker against
the state of Illinois, which was decided
by the supreme court Of the United
States. is almost Identical with any
resistance that Stensland might make
should he be removed by force from
Morocco with or without the consent
Of that government Ker was default
Ing treasurer Of Cook county, Illinois,
and fed to Peru. A request for extra
dition was made by the state depart
ment and placed in the hands Of re-
preventative of the Illinois states at
torney.
Governor Honored Requlsltion.
In Callao, Peru, this representative
Jewett by name, met Ker and seizlng
him personally conveyed him to an
American vessel which was in port and
sailed for the United States without
having served his extradition requisi-
tfon upon the government of Peru. At
San Francisco Ker resorted to habeas
corpus proceedings for his release and
that was met in court by requisition
from the governor of Illinois upon the
governor Of California for the extradi-
ton Of Ker The requisition was hon
ored and the court dismissed the
habeas corpus.
Should the Washington authorities
take charge of the arrangements for
Stensland's return, a guarantee will be
required from the states attorneys
Office to cover the cost Of the passage
E It Is believed that the whole matter
of arranging the details for the return
will be left in the hands of Mr.. Olson.
Assistant States Attorney Barbour an
nounced yesterday that Stensland will
be shown no more courtesy than COM
mon felon when he arrives in Chicago
If the prisoner expects to be conveyed
from the train to the county Jail in a
closed carriage his .lopes are destined
to be shattered. Mr. Barbour states
that Stensland will be forced to ride
In patrol wagon. 1t is probable that
number of local authorities will go
to New York to accompany Stensland
on the train to Chicago. Jacob Loeb
attorney for Receiver Fetzer, expects
to go there to interview Stensland re-
garding number of notes and mort
cages in the bank. which the receiver
is in hopes of forcing payment
1t is real cruel ito send children to
school to get rid of them, and the
children find it out and go away when
