Patrolman Frank ID. Carroll, who was
painfully injured in the collision, made
a good witness. He said in part:
Il was sitting near the front end of
the car. It came to a stop just before
reaching the crossing. 1 saw the con-
ducter get off and run ahead. He looked
in the direction of Shorb, but never
glanced toward Pasadena. When he
did turn he saw the approaching train
and hastily gave the stop signal. The
car had already started on his previous
signal to go ahead. The motorman saw
the approaching locomotive just then
and became excited. He turned off the
current and then turned it on quick.
He evidently tried to reverse. Then he
jumped from his seat and all of the
passengers did the same.

MARINES PLACED
IN DOUBLE IRONS
RECEIVING SHIP IS SCENE OF
MUTINY
Five Of Uncle Sans Men and Ten
Sailors Subdued at League Island
Navy Yard After Fierce
Struggle
BY Assocla ted Press.

By Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. SIT be.
came known today that five marines
are in double irons on board the re.
ceiving ship Lancaster at the League
island navy yard and ten sailors are
under arrest as the result of a mutiny
on Monday night in which two of the
mutineers were badly injured.
A boating party consisting of Pri-
Yates Burnett, Kensey, Haggerty
Anderson, Erbe and Newland left the
navy yard. They went to Gloucester,
and, it is believed sold their uniforms.
With the money thus obtained beer
was purchased, and when the men re-
turned they had two half barrels of
beer in the boat. This they smuggled
into camp and about score were soon
under the influence of the intoxicant.
While in this condition the men at
tempted to leave the yard and when
halted attacked the corporal. The
alarm whistle was sounded and the
men of the Lancaster quickly re-
sponded. A general fight ensued, dur
ing which several shots were fired
Burnett, one of the ringleaders, had
his throat cut, and Kinsey's right arm
was fractured. After nearly an hour
of fighting the mntineers were subdued
and the principals placed under arrest
Officer Summons Aid
Chief Boatswain Garrett, who was
the officer of the deck when the alarm
was sounded, summoned all hands, and
in few minutes forty men, marines
and bluejackets, were on the scene of
the mutiny.
Burnett attempted to shoot Garrett
but he was bayonetted by Trumpeter
Hess and overpowered. The remaining
mutineers endeavored to escape into the
marshes surrounding the camp, but all
We're rounded up.
Yesterday Capt. Miller of the Ian
caster ordered Burnett and Kensey
court martialed. The trial was quick,
and although the findings were not
made known because the commandant
OF the yard must pass on them, it is
said that sentences varying from one
to five years in the naval prison at
Chelsea, Mass, will be the outcome.
Bread and Water for Two
Haggerty and Erbe who, while not
taking active part in the outbreak
were in the boating party, were given
ten days in double irons in the brig on
bread and water with full allowance
meal every fifth day.
Today Anderson and Newland were
before a summary court martial board
and the probabilities are that they
will be given thirty days in double
irons and their liberty restricted for
six months.
The bluejackets will probably be
sentenced to ten days in double irons
with confinements in the brig.
Boatswain Garrett, Sergt. Kibbey,
Corporal Shay and Trumpeter Hess
as well as the others who helped to
quell the outbreak, were commended
by Capt. Miller.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.--Theodore STEMS
land, vice president of the Milwaukee
State bank and son Of the fugitive
presidentsof that institution, has come
and tonight it is the general belief of
those who were endeavoring to
straighten out the affairs of the bank
that there is an excellent chance that
all those who have deposits in the
institution will receive almost dollar
for dollar when a final settlement is
made.
The improved condition of the banks
affairs was brought about by young
Stensland who tonight announced that
he would turn over to Receiver Fetezer
tomorrow all the real estate and per-
sonal property of Paul o. Stensland,
his father. The son places a valuation
of 100000 on this collateral, and he
stated tonight that he had full author
ity to make the transfer of the property
for the benefit of the depositors.
Fugitives Still at Large
Paul o. Stensland, president, and
Harry Herring, cashier, are still at
large and search for these fugitives is
being made all over the country.
Five thousand pictures of the two
officials are being prepared, with full
of both, and these will be
spread broadcast throughout the entire
world.
At one time this afternoon it appeared
as If there would be serious trouble
with the depositors, who swarmed
around the doors of the failed bank

than 5000, 900 was removed from the
vaults of the institution to those of the
National Bank of the Republic, where
it will be held for safe keeping until
next Tuesday, when it is said distri-
button to the depositors will be made.
The removal of the money put the
crowd in an angry mood and it took
a big police detail to keep the excited
throng from upsetting the patrol
wagons, which were filed with blue
coats.
A statement of the banks affairs is
promised for next Monday by Bank
Examiner Jones.
Theo. Stensland, who was arrested
on a warrant charging him
with violation of the banking laws of
accompanied by his attorney
and bondsmen, appeared in court this
afternoon and by agreement the hear
ing was postponed until August Is.

MANY FoReERlEs DISCOVERED
Believed That Systematic Robbery
Has Gone on for Years

Has Gone on for Years
BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The Tribune to-
day says:
"A state of affairs more startling
and shocking than had been limited
previously in connection with the col
lapse of the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank was revealed last night, when 1t
became plain that through barefaced
forgery President Paul o. Stensland
had plundered his own bank SYSTEM
atically during period of years.
The question arose whether Cashier
Deny w. Herring profited to any large
extent by this plundering. His friends
say he did not. though acknowledging
that he may have had knowledge of
what Stensland was doing. At any
rate there has been discovered in Pres
ident Stensland's own safety deposit
box a. series of memoranda detailing
how the bank was looted.
THE amount thus taken from the
savings of $4,000 poor families, as set
down in Stensland's handwriting, is
81. 0O3,000. The money went to support
Stensland's real estate speculations,
his Sco-operative' building business
Women in Case
According to the police some of it
went for luxuries for a certain woman
or women friends of Stensland.
ut was intimated that when the
bank president fled he was accompa-
MED by a divorced woman, who is still
with him,
information about the long list Of
forgeries-with detailed confederation
was obtained by the Tribune from a
source of unimpeachable authority
The Tribunes informant saw the mem
orandum of forgeries, memorandum
notes and other fictitious paper which
the fugitive president and cashier left
behind them. The thefts consist of
nearly 200 items, ranging from $1,000
to SIS, 900 each.
The names forged are those of di-
rectors and stockholders in the bank
and of persons associated with Stems
land in other business ventures. Some
dummy names are there. TOO.
'Depositors May Lose All
IF the entire amount of 81 ,003 900 is
found on investigation to be composed
wholly of forgeries, of course no part
of it can be recovered. This discrep-
uncy alone WI. mean the loss to each
