Selaer was seen to splash about for»
as he did
so at one of his feet. are was a
look of intense agony on his face, and
the murky water all about him was
heaving tumultuously from his frau-
tie exertions.

“Quick!" he screamed out th hls
new thoroughly alarmed companions
"Help me! I've got a terrible cramp

Instantly confusion reigned supreme.
Orders were being shouted to do this,

white. distorted face of the lad had
new disappeared for the second time.
and was about to go down again. when
all of a sudden it swish was heard in
the air. and a boys naked body was
seen to descend swiftly into the trou-
bled waters below.

Striking out bravely, he quickly

reached the drowning boy, turned him
unceremoniously on his back. and with
a few strong strokes soon landed his
half-conscious burden safely on shore.

The name of the grow: rescuer is
Frank Lambert, himself only about
thirteen years old. and he is known as
being a. particularly courageous boy.
He is withsl a. very modest and anal
sumlng youngster and is unable to see
that he did anything wonderful in per-
forming such a heroic rescue.

Young Selaer is now entirely recov

Son of Flight" can President
lakes a Statement, ‘smi
Turns liver llsal Estate
Valued at $650,000

CHICAGO. August 18 .—-Theodore
Btensland. son of the fugitive Milwau-
keo Avenue Bank president. last night,
made a statement of his knowledge of
the circumstances surrounding the
flight of his father and of the colossal
forget-ice in the bank. He denied that
he ever had knowledge of the plot be-
fore August 8 last, but submitted vs-
r‘ious proofs with which he expects to
substantiate his story when told before
a jury. He believes that his father
has not had the country. but has com-
mltted suicide He also says that his
father could not himself have com-
mitted the forgerles of notes because
of an impediment in his control of the
pen in recent years.

He thinks an outside expert was em
ployed fer the purpose 0'! copying slg
natures of blank checks.

Young Btenslaud late on Saturday
gave to Receiver John C Fetaer for
the benefit of the bank depositors a
deed to all the Cook County real-estate
held by his father. who had given him
power of attorney. The property is
valued at 8850. 000. It is understood

obs his purpose to surrender him-
self today to the sheriff on a bench
warrant for conspiracy in which be

. was included with Paul 0. Stenslsnd
. and Cashier Bering.

The young man was sought out for
the purpose of obtaining his comment
on new police charges, made during
the day. to the effect that the son had
previous knowledge of the entire plot
and that he had aided his father‘ s es.
caps from the claims of the law. He
said it was true that he had the key
to his ”fathers box a few days after
he left town. but he did not examine
the box until he had received an alarm-
lettor from him nearly three
weeks later. The letter was post
marked at. Paul, and contained a key

' to his father’s safety deposit vault.

He opened the hoxmnd found a
of paper bearing a powered.

his father. This paper young Steps
land took from the be: without dis
turblng ihc other contents. On Friday
August 3 he received "a second letter
from his father similar to the first.
This second letter contained the com
panion key to the one sent in the pre
vious letter. Stahsland continued:

“In the letter father asked how
things were at the bank. Then be re
fen-ed to having had bad luck in his
real. estate deals and the loss of money
generally He said that things at the
bank had not. gone as they should have
gone and finally he said that I would
find in his vault a memorandum of his
indebtedness to the bank"

Young Stensiaud then told of the
examination which disclosed the
bank‘ a condition, lending to the closing
of the institution.

had a clsmbalte ere Saturday, and
the air was full of political ..talk The
most discussed subiect was the scheme
of the 'l‘hayer forces to land Charles
W. Comsteck. of Norwich as chairman
of the Democratic State Central Com-
mittee. to succeed John J. Walsh, of
East Norwsik. Much opposition to tile
candidacy was expressed, howaver. and
Thomas J. Kelly, of Willlmantic, was
endorsed as the candidate of the as
societies.

Charles 8. Montgomery, who heads
the Ii‘alrilcld delegation to the state‘
convention, said of the it ht for the
chairmanship of the comm ttee:

"We know Comstcck to be a halter.
In 1896 and again in 1900 be halted
Bryan and was completely turned
down as a delegate to the last Demo-
cratic national convention. He's a
'I‘hayer man through and through and
a part of the ’l‘huyer machine. He's

apretty foxy politician and knows
how to play the game, but we know
his record and will not stand for him

“We are satisfied with WIleh as
chairman of the committee and would
dupport him. but if hew declines to .be
a candidate again we Wwill blade for
Thomas J. Kelly of Willimantlc. for
the chairmanship. We will do every-
thing we can to defeat Comstcck for
he's not the man for the place. "

The light in the Democratic ranks
seems to grow with increased vigor
each day. With the Thayer and Mc-
Neil forces lined up for light for the
head of the ticket. there is a prospect
of a fight early in the cunventiun be
tween the Bryan and the antlllryan
men over the chairmanship of the
State Central Commitments next
