WARSHIPS TO AVERT WAR
Dewey's Argument for. Enlargement
of American Xayy.
; WASHINGTON. Sept. 24. Admiral
George Dewey has returned to Washing
ton from Richfield Springs, N. Y.. where
he was with Mrs. Dewey for the Summer,
and resumed his work at the Navy De
partment. Because of the great activity
of the American Navy in Cuban waters
the naval officials at the Department are
especially busy, and Admiral Dewey took
' .up the work today with great interest.
Not being familiar with the conditions
which now prevail in Havana, Admiral
Dewey was unwilling to express any opin
ion as to what action this country should
take, but pointed out that the present
emergency proves the need for more ships
and said that, when the rest of the world
Is busy constructing warships, the United
States should devote itself to naval con
struction and not permit other nations to
outstrip It in naval equipment.
Many battleships are the best protec
tion against war, in Admiral Dewey's
opinion, and he urged that a world pow
er like the United States cannot permit
itself to be caught napping and without
battleships to -protect Itself against any
enemv which may arise.
The caution with which the United States
BLOW
HEAR
is proceeding in handling the Cuban trou
ble was commended by Admiral Dewey,
who said the situation is a delicate one
and must be treated with great caution.

possessions was $903,000 more than
the total value of the domestic ex
ports of farm products to South Amer
ica and Africa combined and $400,000
more than the shipments to Spain for
the same year.
Leaving out the Philippine trade, the
total value of the imports of farm
products from foreign countries was
$641,247,009, while the value of the
shipments of farm products to the
United States, from its non-eontlfjuous
possessions, Including: the Philippine
Islands, was 1J.4 per cent of this

UNIFORM BADGE OF HONOR
ROOSEVELT GIVES CASH - TO
DEFEXD SAILORS' RIGHTS.
Backs Damage Suit Against Amuse
ment Place Which Insulted
Army and NaT'.'
OYSTER BAY, Sept. 24. President
Roosevelt has contributed $100 to be used
by Rear-Admiral Thomas in a legal suit
instituted recently at Newport, R. I.,
to determine whether or not a man may
tie excluded from a public place of en
tertainment because he wears the uni
form of the United 9!ates Army or Navy.
The President today made public the
following letter, which he has sent to
Rear-Admiral Thomas:
"Oyster Bay, Sept. 24, 1906. Dear Ad
miral Thomas: I Inclose $100 to be used
in that suit which, thanks to you, has
been so wisely undertaken to test the
legality of excluding any man from any
public place of entertainment because
be wears the United States uniform. I
feel that it is the duty of every good
citizen to endeavor in every shape and
way to make it plain that he regards
the uniform of the United States Army
and Navy Just as much when worn by
an enlisted man" as when worn by an
officer as a badge of honor, and there
fore entitling the wearer, so long1" as he
behaves decently, to respectful .treat
ment. "There 4s no finer body of men In all
our country than the enlisted men of the
Army and Navy of the United States, and
I cannot sufficiently express my indigna
tion and contempt for any man who
treats his uniform save with the respect
to which it is entitled. If a man mis.
behaves himself, then no. matter what
uniform he wears, he should be dealt with
accordingly; but the fact of wearing the
United States uniform should be accepted
as presumptive evidence that the man
thus discriminating Is all wrong.
"Sincerely yours,
'THEODOIXE EOOSEVELT."
Rear-Admiral Thomas Is reported to
be paying half the expenses of a suit
for $500 damages brought by Chief Yeo
man F. J. Bunzle against the Newport
Amusement Company, of Newport, on the
ground that he was excluded from the
place while in uniform. Bunzle Is on
duty at the naval-training station at
Newport. The suit will not be tried until
October 2 or later.
LUMBER TRUST ALARMED
Federal Investigation Expected to
Result In Reduction of .Prices.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 24.
(Special.) The Federal grand Jury will
commence its Investigation of.- the
lumber trust October 2. United States

and its methods, and he is satisfied that
a trust does exist.- All the informa
tion in the possession of the Govern

many witnesses to be examined in the
case, and these will be subpenaed to
appear before the body during the
course of the investigation.
Lumbermen state that the price of
timber has reached its highest mark
and the action of the Government will
probably cause a decline. An authority
on th situation this morning stated
that lumber prices will drop November
1, and the succeeding months will see
a gradual decline in all -grades of
building material. This lumberman
states that the decrease, is partially due
to the action of the Government and
partially due to the settlement of the
sailors' strike. He says that, timber
can now be brought Into San Fran
cisco at much lower rates than hereto
fore, and can also be handled much
more rapidly.

"Sten6land went to Tangier," Mr. Olsen
said, "because from his experience as a
sailor," many years ago, he understood
that Tangier was not a treaty port and
that he would be perfectly, safe, there."
"Stensland confessed to me," the attor
ney continued. "He talked freely about
the bank and its affairs, and implicated
several men in the wrecking of the bank.
I cannot name the men he referred to,
but their names will come out at the
proper time.. I believe" that he will do
everything possible in winding ; up the
affairs of the institution. - With reference
to the Elmwaod. .Cemetery stock, Stens

and that he hoped to get it soon from a
man whose name he gave me. The stock
has figured somewhat In the discussion
of the bank's affairs." ,

. Works for Full Confession. "
At the conclusion of an'important con
ference between Mr. Olsen and Stensland
at police headquarters tonight, Olsen sent
a telegram to State's Attorney Healey,
of Chicago, making two suggestions. The
first was that the .State's Attorney mall
to Cleveland or Toledo the forged notes,
aggregating $600,000, la which forgeries
Stensland and Cashier Herlng are alleged
to have been Involved. The second sug
gestion was that the State's Attorney
round up the bank ulerks of the Milwaukee-Avenue
State Bank and subject them
to a rigid examination on certain points
explained by Mr. Olsen in his telegram.
Explaining his action later, Mr. Olsen
said that he hoped to receive these notes
at Toledo or Cleveland, and so have the
prisoner's confession in full when he
reached Chicago.
Bank Clerks Know Much.
In reference to the suggested examina
tion of the bank clerks, he said his talks
with Stensland had convinced him that
'.he clerks, or certain of them, knew more
concerning what led to the wrecking of
the bank than they had already told.
Mr. Olsen also stated that In Stens
land's confession the latter Implicated
prominent men of Chicago, but that they
were not directly concerned or connected
with .the wrecked hank.
Mr. Olsen expressed himself as greatly
pleased with tonight's conference and he
believed he was in a fair way to make a
case against those responsible for the
wrecking of the institution without call
ing for the testimony of Herlng.

Stensland. president of the Milwaukee

ment. ' larceny and -receiving . deposits
when he knew that the bank was in
solvent. ,
In the toll of death and widespread
misery, the collapse of the Stensland
bank has few parallels in the history
of financial brigandage. The closing of
the doors of the financial institution on
the .morning of August 6 came like a
thunderbolt from a clear sky to the 22,
000 depositors, who had learned , to look
upon it as an almost Impregnable finan
cial fortress and upon its president as a
man of the highest honor. Large num-bers-of
the depositors were poor foreign
ers who had deposited meager sums from
their slender earnings each week In or
der to guard against the day when mis
fortune should darken their homes.
Death at Stensland's Door.
'The realization that the bank had been
looted by its) president spread terror
among its army of patrons afnd four sui
cides, one other death and four cases
of' Insanity, In addition to hundreds of
instances of wrecked hopes and blighted
prospects, can be traced to the downfall
of the institution. The suicides and
deaths were as follows:
Henry Koepe. a grocer, shot himself on
August 6. He had $700 on deposit.- Was
married and had - two children.
John G. Visser, a salesman, who had
$5000 on deposit, fell dead of heart dis
ease the same day on receiving news
that the bank was closed.
Frank J. Kowalski, paying teller of the
bank. on. August 10, shot himself. He
was driven to suicide by taunts and
threats of . the depositors.
Christ Sorensen on August 17 hanged
himself after brooding over the loss of
money.
Edward Kollerer on August' 20 also
hanged himself. He had $230 on deposit.
The ruin of the bank was the result
of Stensland's . forgeries, thefts, . real
estate speculations, unsuccessful mercan
tile speculation, extravagant habits and
fondness for women who liked, a "good
time." It was' discovered upon examina
tion of the books that Stensland had com
mitted" colossal forgeries, raised money
on bogus mortgages and "fixed" the
books to hide traces of his crimes. But
Stensland claims that he was not alone
In causing the wreck of the bank, and
declares . that Henry W. Herlng, the
cashier, spent a large amount of the de
posits In reckless ways.
How He Did It.
Forgery -was the chief means used by
Stensland in looting the bank. He would
deposit promissory notes with the forged
signatures of the bank patrons as se
curity and then draw against these notes
for his own benefit. The forging of signa
tures was' by means of a stylus with
which a genuine signature was gone over,
the faint marks on the paper beneath
being then retraced in ink. Forged mort
gages were also deposited for the pur
pose of taking money from: the bank.
Stensland also had a "special account,"
containing a series of entries in one of
the ledgers.' There was a credit of about
$200,000 In this account and from it Stens
land drew funds as he needed them.
Another of his pet schemes was to
draw out money on checks signed by
numbers, Stensland used funds he ob
tained in investing in real estate and
also ' made large "loans'' to enterprises
In which he was interested. Including the
Milwaukee Co-operative Store and the
Paul O. Stensland Real Estate Company.
The total deposits in the bank when
Receiver Fetzer took charge amounted
to about $6,000,000, and of this amount
about $3,000,000 has been discovered. The
receiver has disbursed more than $400,
000 among the depositors, the first divi
dend being 20 per cent
Career of Colossal Criminal.
Stensland's career has been a notable
one. He was bortl In .Bandied, Stavanger
Amt, Norway, May 9, 1847. the fifth son
In a family of nine children. As a boy
he obtained as much education aa was
afforded in . the district schools and.
labored in the fields during his spare
time..
When 18 years old" he was lured" by the
fascination of the sea and became a
sailor. His first' voyage lasted a year,
ending In India, where he embarked in
commercial pursuits. He secured a posi
tion as buyer of cotton for an English
exporting firm and later led a life of ad
venture and diversified undertakings.
For five years he penetrated into almost
every province of Hindoostan, seeking
trade as a cotton merchant, and also
drifted Into parts of Persia, Arabia and
Abyssinia. ' ' "
He returned to Norway in 1870 to see
his parents, who died shortly after his
arrival. In August of that year he was
married to Karen Querk, whose persua
sion led him to decide to seek his for
tune in America. He came to Chicago
shortly after the big fire and established
himseif in the retail drygoods business.
He conducted this enterprise with profit
until 1885. when he entered the real estate
and insurance business. He made enough
money in foiir ye'afs to establish a pri
vate bank, which- two years later was
transformed into a state banking institu
tion. .......
Great Capacity as Banker,
In the banking business as In ' other
lines, Stensland demonstrated a wonder
ful capacity of securing the confidence of
others. This ability on his part was
shown by the fact that the directors In
the institution admitted after the collapse
that they left everything to his Judg
ment. But there came a time when his
luck turned and everything that he placed
his hand to did not turn to money but
proved a failure. He lost heavily in his
real estate speculations and his co-operative
store was a losing venture. He built
a mansion and It took an enormous sum
of money each year to keep this up and
to keep up .with the pace that he- was
going. . "
He kept getting in deeper and deeper
until he realized that It was hopeless for
him to try further to recuperate his
losses, so without saying a word to any
one,-he quietly left his home on July 12,
taking with him $15,000 of the bank's
money. He realized at the time it would
not be long until his defalcations were
known and he decided to get as far away
from Chicago as possible.
- Leaving here he hurried as fast as rail
roads and steamers would carry . him
until he arrived in far away Morocco. It
was Just 53 days - from the time he left
Chicago until he was arrested in Tangier
by Assistant State's Attorney Olson, who
started in - pursuit two days after the
bank closed. On arriving in Morocco,
Stensland assumed the name of P. Olsen.
This is hlB birth name. When he came
to Chicago-he was Paul Olsen but when
he acquired wealth he added the name
Stensland, explaining that his identity
would be confused with other Olsens.
Stensland's Intentions were to go to
Mogador and he was leaving an order to
have his mall sent there when taken in
custody. -At-first the financier was in
clined to be sullen and protested against
being arrested by Mr, Olson, but when
the American ambassador arrived, Stens
land submitted and was nlaced in surveil
lance by the Tangier guards. The fol
lowing day he made a complete' confes
sion .to tl)e assistant state's attorney.
Slave of Cashier. Herlng.
Stensland also implicated the cashier,
Herlng, in the theft of money. Hering
gave himself up here several days after
the bank closed and has. been in Jail.
-Stensland declared that the cashier was
reckless.. "He openly took what money
he needed and did as he pleased," said
Stensland. When asked why he did not
stop him. Stensland replied that he
couldn't do that as Herlng had hlnr" In
his power." - "He ' knew- I' was becoming
more and-more involved," said Stensland.
"and knew I had to constantly use forged
notes and as the price of my silence he
kept a lot of stock forgeries on hand to
be used as the occasion required. I was
his . slave and could not get along, without-
him. If he had been decent and
honest I would not be here."
The old man declared that his son,
Theodore was guiltless. "He was only in
the bank to examine abstracts." said
Stensland, "and was never In the count
ing room and had no part whatever in
the business. He may be guilty technical
ly, of failure to do his duty as a direc
tor, but he had no knowledge of what
was going on."
Theodore Stensland is now out on bond
to answer charges of being implicated In
the bank's shortage.
Women in Office, Blinds Down.
When Hering was arraigned for a pre
liminary hearing he answered the charges
made by Stensland by declaring that the
bank president made him enter false de
posits and told of the manner In which
he obtained the money. He also declared
that Stensland entertained women in his
private office with the blinds drawn and
that the employes of the bank referred
to Stensland as "Papa." He also made
the statement that when "Walter Fran
tzen. a former employe, was found guilty
of forgery by Stensland and discharged,
the bank president made good the short
age from tho deposits of patrons of the
bank.
Secret memoranda covering Illegal
transactions in the bank were also found
by the police In going over the effects of
Frank Kowalski, the teller who com
mitted suicide. These memoranda also
furnished tne first direct evidence that
Hering profited by manipulation of the
bank funds. The record kept by Kowa
lski showed that In less than a year Her
lng personally obtained $110,000 of the de
positor's money by the same methods
practiced by Stensland in his wholesale
manner of looting- the vaults. By the use
of "cash" tickets, which he . placed In
the drawer, he secured $6,000 in four
months. One ticket of $5,000 was paid
to a man named Smith, a bookmaker,
with whom Herlng placed bets.
Herlng to Make Fight,
Hering declares'-he will not plead
guilty. . His intention to pose as the in
nocent tool of Stensland has caused re
newed activity on the part of the authori
ties. The police have traced his history
from his birth to the collapse of the bank
and Say they can show that for 17 years
he had been profitting by irregularities
in the bank and that the flowers he be
stowed upon Mrs. Hering before they
were married and the livery hired ex
pended by him were paid for out of funds
from the institution.
Stensland was closely guarded from the
time of his arrest in- Tangier until he
was placed aboard the ship. Assistant
State's Attorney Olson and James Keoly,
who represented the United States In
getting him back to this country, also
guarded against any chance of him being
taken in custody should the ship stop
at any port but met with no interference.
The police here will take extra pre
caution that nothing befalls the bank
president here, as he has been marked for

Itching, disfiguring eruptions, rashes, boils, etc., as well as pimples,
black-heads and rough, scaly skins, show the presence of some irritating
humor in the blood. These acids and humors with which the blood is filled
are being constantly thrown off through the pores and glands, and the skin
is kept in a. feverish, diseased and unsightly condition. .Nothing applied
externally can change the condition of the blood or prevent the outflow of
poisons and acids ; only constitutional treatment can do this. The countless
washes, salves lotions, etc., that are used cannot reach the humor-laden
blood and are, therefore, useless, except for the temporary comfort and clean
liness they afford. The acid poison in the blood, which is the cause of the
trouble, must be removed before a cure can be effected. -S. S. S. Is a real
blood purifier, possessing all the requirements to neutralize and remove the
humor from the circulation.' It completely eradicates every trace of the
poison and restores this vital fluid to its natural state of purity S. S. S. cools
the acid-heated blood so that instead of pouring out acrid matter on the skin
it feeds and nourishes it with health-sustaining properties, and the eruptions
and diseases of the skin pass away. Book on Skin Diseases and medical
