A Whisky Mans Yarn.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 81. s. Hack
ley, a liquor drummer, whose business
address is Louisville, Ky, and whose
residence is Moberly, Mo-, says he is
the man who outstripped the best de-
tective talent in the country in ''turn-
ing up" the big insurance swindler.
He says: 81 have known both Fraker
and Harry for nearly twenty years,
and when I read the story of Fraker's
drowning while on a fishing excursion
with such crook as Harry, was at
once struck with the strangeness of
his companionship as evidence of ras-
cality. 1 have been quietly at work on
the case since. From the first was
convinced that Fraker was alive
Hackley says he came to the con-
clusion that George Harry was the only
one with knowledge of the affair, and
he says he thought he could force def
mite and conclusive information from
him. $50 I began to track him." says
Hack1ey. CATER locating him l de-
coyed him to Moberly, and without
letting him know that 1 had anything
to do with it, I had the marshal of the
town, who is a friend of mine, arrest
him for carrying concealed weapons.
After he had been in the
lookup a day without knowing
definitely what charge would eventual
ly be lodged against him, called
called on him. He recognized me at
once, and after hours Of persuasion
and threats got from him, not only
all the details Of the conspiracy of
Fraker to swind1e the insurance COM
panies, but also the exact location of
the doctors hiding place in the woods
of Minnesota.
''Then I hurried to Topeka, Kan,
and told the officers of the Kansas
Mutual Life Insurance company all I
knew. Fraker's arrest soon followed.
That's all 1 will say about the matter
at present. p"

TREMENDOUS FORCE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The new bat
tleship Iowa will withstand the pro-
1ectiles of the best twelve-inch gun
afoat That was the conclusion drawn
yesterday from one of the most impor-
tant tests ever made at the govern
ment proving grounds at Indian Head.
For the first time since the use of mod
ern guns and modern armor. began
experiments to determine the actual
strain and injury to which a batt1eship
would be subjected if struck by q pro-
Jectlle. For that purpose a side armor
plate of the battleship Iowa, now
building at the Cramps yards in Phila-
delphia, was fitted up on an actual re-
production of a section of the ship. It
consisted of the inner and outer bot
toms of hve-eighths inch steel forming
compartments with lateral steel bulk
heads four feet apart. Outside the
outer bottom was a skin of five-eighths
steel and between this and the 14-inch
armor plate were ten inches of solid
oak backing. Above was the projec-
ton deck and below the main deck,
the whole being backed above and be-
low by oak of The estimated strength
of the protection of main decks The
plate itself was 16x756 feet. fourteen
inches thick at the top, and sloping

seve inches
After two most satisfactory tests an
s5o-pOund Wheeler Sterling shell,
driven by 400 pounds of powder, was
fred at it from twelve inch gun.
The projectile struck with velocity
Of 1,sOO, or an energy of 1880, 600 foot
pounds. This shot should, according
to the estimates, have penetrated a
sixteen inch Harveyized plate. AL
though it cracked the plate already
weakened by the two previous shots,
and penetrated to the wood backing,
it did not get through the backing
The enormous recoil of the plate,
however, pulled it from the wood
about three-fourths of an inch.
On the whole, the result of the test
with the plate and framework was
considered remarkable. The plate
withstood the government test for a
16-inch plate splendidly and construct
lively the test of a 17-inch plate. The
resistance of the frame really aston
ished all Secretary Herbert was
greatly rejoiced at the result and Cap
tain Sampson, chief of the ordnance
bureau, said the injury both to the
plate and frame was very minimum.
The framework withstood the shock
better than we hoped it would" said
Captain Sampson.

Indians on a Strike.

DEER RIVER, Mimi, Sept. 5.-One
hundred and fifty Indians, who have
been working for Frank Vance, gath
ering his hay crop, went on a strike
yesterday, and capturing Mr.. Vance,
threatened to burn him at the stake
unless he acceded to their demands.
More than this, the Indians declared
they would scalp him before the tor
ture was begun. Mr.. Vance, who
was badly frightened, got away from
the Indians and remained in hiding
until the red men had gone back to
their reservation.

FRAKER Behind BARS.
He is Now Confined in the Ray
County Jail.
Three Thousand People Come to
Look at Him.
SAYS FRAZER LIED.
Attorney Mckinley Doesn't Be-
lieve Fraker Knew Harry.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 5.-Dr.
George W. Fraker was taken from the
county jail at 4:30 o'clock yesterday az
ternoon and started on his way, in
charge of the sheriff of Ray county
and deputy, for the Ray county jail
at Richmond. The doctor was shorn
of the side whiskers that he wore
when he arrived in Kansas City on
Tuesday, and it changed his facial ex-
preston wonderfully. 1t made him
look ten years younger, and no one
not familiar with his age would have
guessed him to have been over 81 years
old.
All day long, up to the very moment
of his transfer from the Jail, people
kept going and coming, and it is esti-
mated that all of 5000 visitors had
their curiosity gratifed. Among the
callers were a number of women in
terested in church and missionary
work and one of them remarked to
Marshal Keshlear that it would have
been a most excellent plan to have
charged an admission fee to see Fra
ker and turn the receipts over to some
charitable OrganiZat. on.
Major Blake L. Woodson, the attor-
ney caused some excitement by pub
lcly announcing that the E'raker in
custody was not the missing DIR. Fra
ker. The major called upon the pris-
oner and openly made this declara-
ton. Fraker smiled, and in his quiet
way answered.: "If am not DR..
Fraker, who am 1? Wen see about
that"
Attorney H. Mckinley called at the
jail, and he recognized and in turn
was promptly recognized by Fraker.

tor in 1887 or 1883. and was the doctors
attorney when he was arrested at
Tripplett, Mo-, some years ago for sell
ing liquor without a license.
''Fralzer lies when he says he knew
George Harry in his native town. re-
marked Attorney Mckinley. tThe
truth is, that he made the acquaint-
ance of Harry in Triplett, where they
were fast friends. A curious circum-
stance in connection with Fraker's
habits while in Triplett was that his
associates were made up wholly of
boys, and he was seldom seen in the
company of a young man"
Harry was tough citizen, and in
1884 was sent to the Jefferson City
penitentiary from Trip1ett for stealing
horses from a relative of mine," said
Mr.. Mckinley. IF remember right "
his sentence was for i've years, and
Sheriff Moore, who captured him, had
thrilling and exciting experience
with his prisoner. He had Harry
shackled, both hand and foot, and was
bringing him on a train to Keytes-
vile. Harry made the excuse that
he wanted to go to the closet, and
as the train was running at a
speed of twenty-five miles an
hour, and the man was thoroughly
ironed, the sheriff did not dream that
he would attempt an escape. In this
he was mistaken, for Harry raised the
car window and jumped out through
the aperture. As soon as Sheriff
Moore discovered that the bird had
flown he had the train stopped, organ
lied posse and started out in search
of Harry. He was found hiding in tina
stubble of a wheat field, and, remark
able to state. Was unhurt.' .

GEORGE HARRY TALKS.
He Says Ne Had Nothing to Do with the
Apprehension of DR.. Fraker.

He Says He Had Nothing to Do With the
Apprehension of DR.. Fraker.
RATION, N. M, Sept. 5.-Dr. Fraler
will have to name some one besides
George Harry for his betrayer. A re-
porter visited Horrie Tor Harry, as he
insists on being called at the county
jail at Springer yesterday. He is
harness maker by trade and has lived
in Ration for nearly four years. He
says he will not believe the original
Fraker is alive until he sees him. He
denies having received the letter
which Fraker claims to have written
him from Wisconsin. The charge upon
which he was apprehended in Moberly
is for being implicated with several
others in looting residences in this
place during the past three years,
About year ago he formed the ac-
quaintance of enc J. S. Phillips, and
when their connection with the bur
glaries became known about FIVE
weeks ago they left here together.
Evidence points to the fact that Phil
lips was drowned in the Arkansas
river near Halstead, Kan, on August
~, and the sheriff of this county has a
letter from that place stating that the
body had been buried there at the ex-
pense of a brother, who lives at Mount
Vernon, Ohio. While at Moberly
Harry is said to have received letter
which stated that the Fraker case had
been settled. This points to the con-
clusion that he was either connected
with the fraud or followed it more
closely than disinterested party
would have done. He manifested no
surprise when told of Fraker's having
been found, nor was he dismayed at
Fraker's charge of having been be-
trayed by him, but he strenuously de-
MES any interest in the former and all
connection with the latter.

THE PORTE TOUCHED UP
Lord Salisbury Gives Notice of Some
Very Unpleasant Intentions.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. Sit is off,
cially announced here that Rustem
Pasha, Turkish ambassador to Eng
land, has telegraphed to the foreign
minister that he had an interview rel
alive to the Armenian question with
Lord Salisbury, whom he assured that
the sublime porte is not opposed to the
reforms proposed by the powers sigma
tory to the treaty of Berlin, but that
Turkey could not permit control Of
Armenia by an international commits
sion Lord Salisbury replied that
under the circumstances it would be
useless to continue the interview. If,
he said, the porte persists in it's re-
fusal, the powers will undertake the
suggested reforms and rest satisfied.
If, however, the porte continues to re-
sist, Lord Salisbury added, it would be
a signal for the dismem berment of
Turkey. The dispatch has caused the
greatest uneasiness here.

DEATH OF HENRY CLARK.
The Wen Known Politician of Missouri

succumbs to Stroke of Paralysis.
MEXICO, Mo-, Sept. 5.-Hon. Henry
Clark of Montgomery county, well
known Democratic politician, is dead.
A few days ago Hon. Sol Hughlett
shot himself. Mr.. Clark was sitting
at his table, surrounded by his family,
talking of the tragical death of Mr..
Hughlett. Suddenly he was stricken
down by paralysis, and the end came
last night. Mr.. Clark was one of the
wealthiest citizens of Montgomery
county. He leaves a large family.
Death has deprived the Democratic
party of this Congressional district of
three of its prospective candidates for
congress. They were Hon. Henry
Wood, who was killed in a railroad
wreck; Hon Sol. Hughlett, who shot
himself, and Hon. Henry Clark, who
has just been cut down by paralysis.
