BALLISTIC TESTS.
Curious Anomalies Presented in Th os e

Another contract for naval material has
been closed out by the acceptance of two
lots of 13-inch armor piercing shells made
by the Carpenter Company, the last de-
liveries to be made by this company. The
ballistic trial at Indian Head yesterday
presented some curious anomalies, prin-
cpally illustrative of the uncertainty at
tending the use of the Harvey process of
hardening plate. Usually plain nickel
steel plate is used in testing shell. and the
results are very uniform. Yesterday a T.
inch Harveyed plate was used as the basis
of test. The first shot was fired at a We
locity of 1.415 feet per second. Contrary TO
expectation the shot did not perforate the
plate. but after penetrating ten inches the
shot broke into pieces. The plate was
cracked only on one corner and bulged
slightly in the back. thus showing marvel
power. The second shot was fired at
1,SOO feet velocity. 1t penetrated the plate
and backing and went on a mile into the
woods The third shot was fired at 1000
feet velocity. 1t penetrated the plate, but
piece was scaled off the shot and it was

Late Senator Fairs Wheat Deal 4,
Mixed Up Affair.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-The mystery
of the disappearance of Charles s. Smith,
bookkeeper for mclaughlin G Co.. the
grain brokers. who engineered the late
Senator Fairs 100000 wheat deal, is
clearing, and the firm now asserts that the
young bookkeeper is an embexzler. Smith
dropped out OF sight a week ago Sunday
under such peculiar circumstances that his
wife and friends insisted he was demen led.
Then some said that his departure was due
to those who wished to prevent an investi-
cation of the methods used in getting Fair
into the big deal.
The brokers now admit Smith may be a
defaulter to the extent of many thousands
of dollars. Before leaving the office of his
employers Smith destroyed the books that
would have been the evidence Of his pecu-
lations. All of the leaves in the current
cash book and ledger-or as many of them
as bore written records-were cut out, and
either carried away or burned.
