(Hv the Associated Press.)
Oyster Ray, N. Y., Sept. 3. A salute
of twenty-one guns fired simultan
eously by every fighting craft in a,
mighty lleet of two score warships
, greeted President Roosevelt when he
stepped on board the naval yacht Mny
llower today to review what is be
lieved to be the largest war lleet that
ever assembled in American waters.
When the president stepped on board
the Mayflower the great fleet lay in
three columns, each about two miles
in length with battleships and monitors
in the centc column, the cruisers and
several Othei battleships In the off
shore column and a long line of tor
pedo destroyers stretched between the
remainedr of the fleet and the shore
Kncircllng the entire fleet was a cor
don of cutters, making a picket line
for the exclusion of the excursion
boats.
Dull and lowering skies with fitful
showers of rain sweeping across the
sound threatened then to rob the dis
play of much of Its beauty and cast
a serious damper over the enthusiasm
of the thousands of spectators who
were gathering to witness it in every
manner of craft conceivable.
Half an hour before the arrival of
the president. Secretary of the Navy
lionaparte boarded the Mayflower and
was received with a salute by the
marine guard and the ruffles of the
drums. Following him came Postmas
ter General Cortelyou, who was also
honored on the quarter-deck.
The naval attaches representing for
eign governments came on board the
Des Moines and were transferred to
the Mayflower in launches. As they
reached the gangway there was more
saluting. Members of the naval com
mittees of congress were also taken
on board the Mayflower as guests of
tho president during the review.
A large number of guests of Presi
dent and Mrs. Koosevelt were on board
the Dolphin.
Followed by the cruiser Des Molnei
which was devoted to the service of
the foreign naval attaches, and by the
Dolphin, the Mayflower proceeded out
of Oyster Bay to the head of the fleet
off Lloyd's Neck, where the battleship
Maine, with Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans on board, lay in the central
position at the head of the fleet. The
Dolphin and Des Moines took up their
positions respectively at the head of
the third and first columns and the
Mayflower passed down between the
long lines of warships while the roar
of the president's salute of twenty-one
guns again burst from the three Inch
guns of each warship as the Mayflower
swept majestically past. Each ship
In turn, with sailors manning her
yards and guns sounding, paid her
tribute of honor to the conimander-in
chief as the yacht passed up and down
through the two lanes made by th
formation of the fleet and then having
circled entirely about them, anchored
nt the position of honor at the head of
the central column. While the review
was taking place the clouds began to
roll away and before it was finished
tho sun broke through and brought
out all the splendor of the great white
warships and long black torpedo de
stroyers which went to make up the
mightiest fleet that the United States
has ever assembled.
Ships At Anchor. '
Three long columns of men of war
have been tugging at their anchors in
the waters of Long Island Sound since
noon yesterday. Thirty-five vessels are
all within range of Sagamore Hill and
of Long Island Sound since noon yes
terday. Thirty-five vessels ' are all
within range of Sagamore Hill and
could train one thousand one hundred
and seventy guns on the summer resi
dence of President Roosevelt. Instead
they roared out to him a tremendous
salute as he came among them on his
flagship, the Mayflower, and tonight
they will paint the helroglyphics of
peace on the sky with their search
lights for his edification.
The day of the review opened over
east and stormy with intervals of hard
rain driven before stiff but variable
winds. The disappointing weather
conditions were not allowed to inter
fere with any details of the program,
however, and apparently had no ef
fect upon the crowd which gathered to
witness the imposing spectacle.
President Roosevelt did not mind tho
weather in the least as he demon
strated during the downpour which
marked the delivery of his fourth of
July address to the citizens of Oyster
Bay.
NeW York poured out to see the
demonstration in a city of ships; Con
necticut sailed across the sound to
view the spectacle; Long Island gath
ered at Oyster Bay. To guard this
assemblage of leviathans of the sea
against the friendly attack of admir
ing multitude, a cordon of tiny naval
launches were stretched around the
miles of anchorage ground covered by
tho fleet.
Scene of Naval Splendor.
The review was arranged with the
utmost care In every detail. Not a
ship was to move from its place until
the ceremony was over, or until II
o'clock tomorrow morning. At 8
o'clock this morning In their spotless
white paint of peace, having donned
full dress, each was throwing into the
sky a rainbow of color, showing every
shred of the splendid flag equipment of
the American navy. More than ir,,(00
Jackles and eight hundred officers
manned the decks. The United States
Atlantic fleet, under command of Rear
Admiral Robley D. Kvans, was ready
for the inspection of President Roose
velt and tho nation.
The three long columns lay with
their head just a mile west of the ex
treme point of Lloyd's Neck and three
miles directly north of Sagamore Hill
through the harbor entrance of Oys
ter Bay. With Intervals between col
umns and ships 450 yards they
stretched along the sound towards
New York for more than two miles.
The fleet consisted of three squadrons
of two divisions each, two torpedo
boat flotillas, submarines, a troop ship
and five auxiliaries.
The center column represented the
heaviest tonnage and fighting capac
ity of the fleet. This column was
headed by the Maine, the flagship of
Admiral Evans. Directly astern was
the sister ship Missouri of 12,000 tons;
then the two 11.520 ton battleships
Kentucky and Kearsarge; next the
16.000 ton Louisiana, just completed,
which the navy fondly calls "the most
modern battleship," succeeded by the
14,948 ton Rhode Island, New Jersey
and Virginia. The column was com
pleted by the four monitors Puritan,
Nevada, Florida and Arkansas.
The Mayflower Hears the President.
Boarding the Mayflower at 10:30,
President Roosevelt reached the head
of the column a half hour later. When
the Mayflower came within "signalling
distance" of the Maine, a tremendous
salute of twenty-one guns in unison,
every ship participating, was fired.
Then when the Mayflower cleared the
stern of the Maine in her course down
the inspection line, the Maine belched
forth twenty-one guns more, likewise
every ship in the fleet. The May
flower then swung around the stern
of the cruiser. Denver, the last ship
In the third column and past the
cruisers Cleveland, Tacoma and Min
neapolis, armored crusiers Maryland,
Colorado, Pennsylvania and West Vir
ginia, and the battleships Iowa, In
diana, Illinois and Alabama, which
headed this column.
The Mayflower now proceeded to the
shore side of the fleet column and down
Its length. This column was composed
entirely of two torpedo boat flotillas,
the Whipple," Worden, Truxton, Hop
kins, Lawrence, MacDonough, Wilkes,
Tlngey, Rodgers, Stockton, Blakely and
Delong. To complete the cruise of the
Mayflower between and around the en
tire fleet, the course was between the
second and third column, and this the
Mayflower took and then anchored 600
yards ahead of the flagship Maine.
Facing the ships to the right was
the Dolphin and to the left the Des
Moines. On the Dolphin was a merry
party of guests of President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. The Des Moines was at the
service of the foreign naval attaches.
Those who were present were trans
ferred from the Des Moines to the
Mayflower this morning. They were

Because We Have Xo Extradition

(By the Associated Press.)
Chicago, Sept. 3. A special cable
gram to tho Tribune announces that
Paul O. stensland, president of the
Milwaukee Avenue State Hank, was I
captured today in Tangier.
Stensland was arrested at S o'clock
this morning by the Tribune repre
sentative and assistant Slate's At
torney Harry Olson of Chicago, in
the English postollic.e. Slensland
agreed to, return peaceably. Assist
ant State's Attorney Harbour re
ceived a cablegram today from As
sistant. State's Attorney Harry Ol
son, slating that Paul O. Stensland
hud been arrested in Tangier, Mo
rocco. Stensland, according to a cable
dispatch to the Tribune from Gi
braltar, published this morning, left
Gibraltar for the eastern coast of
Africa at 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon, just one hour and forty min
utes before the representative of the
Tribune, and Assistant State's At
torney Harry Olson arrived, after
trailing him from America to ling
land, thence to Gibraltar, to Tangier,
Morocco, back to Gibraltar and
thence to Honda, where he saw a
bull light; to Bobadella, Granada,
Seville and other Spanish towns.
I'ndcr An Alias.
He was travelling under the alias
of P. Olsen, of Norway.
The paper says that Mr. Gummere,
American minister to Morocco, was
on the outlook and the moment he
received instructions from the state
department sent a detail of the sul
tan's soldiers to take Stensland.
Stensland, the dispatch says,
chose Morocco as a permanent resi
dence, because there is no extradi
tion treaty with that country. Th?
sultan at Fez, however, will do any
thing for President Roosevelt. The
matter of throwing a man in jail and
keeping him there indefinitely is so
small a request that it is granted
before it is asked.
"if Stensland decides to return
peaceably," the Tbirune dispatch
continues, "well and good. Other
wise one of the United States war
ships that will be In Gibraltar in ten
days probably will cross to Tangier,
the fugitive will be thrown on board
and headed for America.
"We discovered that he had $12,
OOOin a bank in Tangier. Steps have
been taken by Assistant State's At
torney Olsen to tie this money up.
Old Story of a Woman Scorned.
"It was the old story of a woman
scorned that led to the finding of
Stansland's trail. One of his nu
merous friends who thought she had
been shabbily treated pilt the Trib
une in possession of the iirst hint as
to the fugitive's whereabouts. Mar
information was indefinite, but in
vestigation proved its probable ac
curacy. Finally on August 13, it
became certain that he was In Tan
gier and had bean for sixteen days.
He lied from Chicago on Sunday,
July 12, went direct to New York
and took tho White Star boat, sail-,
ing on Tuesday for Liverpool and
stayed -in that town two days Stens"
land went to Gibraltar and thera
took the boat for Tangier."

A Child Who Says She is
Under 14 Tells Contra
dictory Stories
LEFT IN CHARGE OF
MAY BY HER MOTHER
Sue Told Justice Badger, Col, John
Nichols and Others That the Man,
With Whom and His Father She
Had Lived as a Domestic Servant,
Had Attempted to Wrong Her,
Choking and Terrorizing Her and
Heating Her Today on the Stand
She Declared the Woman to
Whom She Had Fled Had Coached
Her to Tell That Storj.
Charles Starling, a white man,
who was arrested Saturday evening
on the accusation of Lena McDonald,
a young white girl, giving her age
as between thirteen and fourteen
years, was given a hearing before
Police Justice Badger this morning
and held for court in the sum of
? 1,000, the justice deciding that
there was probable cause for at
tempted criminal assault.
The girl was put under a bond of
S0 to assure her attendance on
court as a witness. She was able to
give bond, but the man has not yet
been able to do so, and is in the
lockup still.
The case is a peculiarly sad one,
and the evidence goes to ohow that
the girl is under the influence first
of on? person, -then another, and
seems to havelttle or no will of her
own.
It appears that some eight months
ago the child's mother left town to
be gone some time and placed her
in charge of Charles Starling, the de
fendant; to cook and clean up house
for him at his place on Cabarrus
street, between Dawson street and
the Southern freight depot. The
mother gave this man the right to
whip the girl if she did not behave,
according to the testimony of the
child on the stand today. She could
not give her exact age, and did not
know if the man was any kin to her,
but said some people said he was.
The defendant, his father and the
girl all slept in one room of a four
room house adjoining the store run
by Starling.
Several days ago, about last Wed
nesday, Lena McDonald went to the
police court in company with Mrs.
Louisa Sandiford and told Justice
Badger that she had left Starling's
house because he had tried on sev
eral occasions to commit criminal
assault upon her and also had boatsn
her cruelly.
Today on the stand she declared
that what she had said about Star
ling attempting criminal assault was
all untrue, that she had been coached
to tell that story by Mrs. Sandiford,
who she said owed money to Star
ling and hated him and wanted her
to work for her. She said she left
Starling simply because he beat her.
Mrs. Sandiford, the girl said, had
told her if she did not tell the story
she ordered her to tell they would
put her on the roads.
Finally. under City Attorney
Snow's examination, the girl admit
ted that she had told Mrs. Sandiford
that story before the latter had told
her to tell it to the justice, and that
Mrs. Sandiford had taken her to Col.
John Nichols before going to the
justice and she had told Col. Nich
ols the same story.
Mrs. Sandiford, who lives with
her son-in-law, William House, at
the end of west Cabarrus street, was
sent for and declared that she had
never coached the girl to tell the
story she had.
In her testimony the girl had said
that Mrs. Sandiford had sent for her
to go to her house and told her this
story and that she must tell it or
go to the roads, and also told her to
say she did not want to live with
her mother when she came back,
and that Mrs. Sandiford had taken
her to see a doctor, although Lena
told her it was not necessary
Mrs. Sandiford said that, last Mon
day when Bhe passed Starling's house
Lena stopped her and and asked her
