WHERE THE MONEY WENT.
Bank President johnson Lost His
SteaIings in Speculation and
Bad Investments

LosanspOrt. Ind, May 26.-Bank Exam
iner Caldwell this afternoon found in a
private box in the vault of the wrecked
State National bank some private cor
respOndenCe belonging to eK-President
John F. Johnson, which throws some light
on the channels which absorbed the miss
ing money. Mr.. johnson WAS interested
with eX-United States Treasurer J. y. Hus-
ton, of COnnOrsyille, Ind. in a phosphate
bed in Virginia, and the loss i'm this direc-
ton Will probably amount to 500 900 The
cN-preSident was also an extensive invest
or in oil and gas land leases near Gas Civ
Ind, but just what sum was sunk in this
enterprise Is not known. His dealings in
Colorado and Wyoming mining stocks
swallowed up another big sum. the pre-
else amount the bank examiner at the
moment is unable to determine Heavy
losses were made in wheat speculation in
Chicago and Toledo 'bucketshopS'' and
boards of trade. Ii is believed that Mr..
JohnsoT'S shortage which already foots
up S3J000O. will not be increased by fur
ther examinations. The reorganization of
the bank is not impossible, and a receiver
Will be appointed.
The federal grand jury to-day found nine
indictments against John =. johnson. late
president of the State National bank Of
LoEanspOrt. Ind. lie is charged with
violating practically every section Of the
national banking law, including forgery
1t is found that the directors of the bank
cannot be indicted FOR stupidity and in

indicate is the chief trouble with them.

KRAG-IORGENSEN RIFLE.
DIR. j. ID. Griffith, of Kansas city, Makes
Report as TO His Tests
of the Gun.

Columbus. o. May 26.-(Special) DR. J..
d. Griffith read paper here before the
military surgeons of the United States last
night on the subject Of Effects Of the
New Erag-Jorgensen Rifle" The paper
was illustrated by about fifty steTeoptiCon
views. Dr. w. 4. Stark. of Kansas City,
Mo, handled the lantern most admirably.
The paper was most interesting one, Civ
ing detailed account of all of the shots
fired in actual field work with the new
rife and with the Shrapnel.
DR.. Griffith has been following out this
line of work in this association for the
past two years. and has won for himself
considerable fame. He has made num-
her of experiments with the rifle and
shrapnel at Fort LeaVenwOrth. KaS., Fort
Riley, has., and Waldo park. Kansas City,
Mo.
In his paper. DR.. Griffith states that at
distance of ten yards from the muzzle
of the rifle the bullet of this gun perforat-
ed four inches of well seasoned white oak.
at 200 yards it went through forty-tive pop
lar pldnks. each an inch thick and one
inch apart; at 1000 yards II perforated a
horses body at the shoulders. and at the
same distance passed through three hu-
man bodies: at $500 yards il perforated
four inches of deal plank, and at two miles
1t yet retained sufficient velocity to pene-
trate the human body"
The doctor further states: Il have never
found a detection of the bullet at any
range, TO be caused by any of the tissues
in the body but the bullet continues in
the direction in which it starts being
changed in its course by nothing. not even
when striking rib or vertebra al an
angle"
He says: Loose earth is the only ma
terial which l have found to deform the
bullets to any considerable extent. and
We have found them almost perfect after
passing through eighteen or twenty inches
of compact earth"
Captain Stark and Lieutenant Colonel r.
!. Pearson. of Kansas City, both had ev-
tracts in the Doctors paper giving an
outline of their ideas of the effects OF
this guns work.

RIO GRANDE STILL RISING.
El PasO and Junrez in Great Danger
From Threatened Levee
Breaks.

El Paso, Tex, May 26.-The Rio Grande
continues to rise and an army of men Is
strung out on Sixth street working on the
new levee that was thrown up Monday
night when the old levee broke. This
morning at 10 o'clock all the bells in Jua-
rez were rung to call out the people TO
check break in the Juarez levee and the
Mexican troops stationed in Juarez were
put to work to save the Mexican end OF
one of the International street car bridges,
the approaches to which were being
washed by the water. The bridge was
saved, as was also the Juarez levee.
At noon to-day the levee in front of
City Recorder c. B. PattersOn's residence
broke and the waters rushed into the
house, almost drowning the recorder and
a friend who was with him. Mr.. Patter-
son had just moved his family out His
pretty residence was washed away, to-
gcther with dozen other houses in the
neighborhood. Every wagon in FL Paso
is engaged moving people from parts of
the city endangered by the flood. Several
hundred poor Mexican citizens who re-
sided on the river front have had their
houses washed away and are camping out
on vacant lots. So far as can be learned.
no lives were lost in the flood. 1t is feared
that the FL Paso street levee will break
tonight. II so. a portion of the business
part of the city will be flooded.

mourning the loss of their money and won
dering what has become of the smooth

suddenly a short time ago. and only now is
the extent of his scheming coming to light.
The companies which he organized are too
numerous to mention. Among them were
the Nanaimo Coal Mining Company, of
British Columbia, the Central Ishp Land
and Improvement Company of Long ISL
and the Massapequa Land and Improve
ment Company of Long Island. the West
Asbury Water Company, and the Panther
Mountain Coal and Coke Company of West
Virginia.
In addition to these corporate concerns
he was interested in a syndicate which In
tended to build a railroad through the coal
fields of New Brunswick, Can. 1t was with
this scheme that he first put in his ap-
peGrance on Lower Broadway. He said he
had just arrived from Canada, and was
