ARMOR PLATE TESTS
Carnegie's Last Batch Proves Up to
the Standard

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga plate Of
armor representing a lot of 500 tons for
the turrets of the battleships Kearsarge
and Kentucky was tested at the Indian
Head proving grounds today. For test
ing purposes two eight-inch Shells one a
Carpenter projectile and the other a
Wheeler sterling, were fired at the plate
one at high and the other at lower
velocity. Neither penetrated nor crack
ed the plate, but both partially welded
themselves into it. The test was re-
garded as entirely satisfactory and in
sures the acceptance of the armor. The
delivery of the 500 tons will wind up the
contracts which the government has
with the Carnegie company for the sup
ply of armor for naval vessels, and it Is
not expected that any more will be en-
tered into pending settlement of the
whole armor question by congress.
Subsequent to the tests the ordinance
officers fired a third projectile at the
plate. 1t was what was known as a
capped shell and was fired to show the
penetrating power of projectiles of this
character. The results were satisfac-
tory, the shell, fired at high velocity,
going entirely through the plate.

THE JACKSON MuRDEn
DR.. Goddard Comes to Trial Second
Time

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 2S.-The second
trial Of DR.. Jefferson D. Goddard for
numbering Lauhdryman jackson began
in the Criminal Court this morning The
court room was crowded and added in
terest was shown, caused by the sensa-
tional charges Of jury bribins made
since the first trial ended.
The case, one of the most sensational
ever tried in Jackson county, and made
so by the prominence OF the accused and
the siding with the murderer Of Jack
sons wife and two daughters, broadened
Friday last when Ross w. Latshaw, an
|ex-Justice Of the Peace, was arrested and
charged with trying to bribe prospec-
tive juror to hang the present Jury.
Prosecutor Lowe has since maintained
that he possessed evidence against
others known to be guilty Of attempted
jury bribery, and that he would push
the cases against them. Now comes the
statement from a well-authenticated
source that Mrs. jackson, who up to this
time has aided in the defense Of her hus-
bands slayer. will in the present trial be
placed on the stand by the prosecution.
That Mrs. Jackson can. II she will. throw
much light upon the events leading UP
to the killing Of her husband, there is,
in the minds of the attorneys for the
prosecution, little doubt. The fact that
she was held as an accomplice with God
dard early in the history Of the case
lends additional interest to this latter
alleged move on the part Of the prosecu-
ton.
A morning paper in reviewing the
present jury makes the statement that
one Of the jurors broke up a family
twelve years ago in a manner similar to
which Goddard Is alleged to have de-
spoiled the jackson home.

INDIANS WRONGS
A Very Plain Statement Of the Late
"Uprising'

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-Captain
Wright and Lieutenant Cavenaugh of
the Ninth cavalry, who commanded the
troops in the recent Indian disturbance
in Colorado, have recommended an in
vestigation of the affair by the interior
department. Captain Wright secured
a statement from the Indians of the af-
fair, the sum of which Is that "a small
party of them were camped on Snake
hill hunting deer, the majority Of them
in the hills and but four bucks in camp,
when a party of armed white men came
into camp. They remained there some
time, the Indians not understanding
them. Finally one opened his coat
showing star, saying they were buck
skin police, and the Indians must go
with them. The Indians refused, upon
which the whites covered them with
their pistols and several grasping two
bucks by the wrists a struggle COM
menced. A squaw ran to their assist
ance, when the police literally riddled
the two with bullets. A warden on the
outside of the party shot the squaw in
the back of her head and another in the
arm. The two surviving bucks saw their
chance to run for the horses they had In
the brush, and did SO, making their es-
cape.
1.-The Indians insist that neither at
that time nor since have they fired a
shot at a white man."

they contracted to sell the new issue to
Trowbridge & Co. of Chicago. After a
favorable election on the subject other
brokers through local taxpayers brought
action to restrain the supervisors from
carrying out their contract. Today
Judge Mahon decided that the contract
was illegal, holding that the county gov
ernment act Of 1897 does not repeal that
portion Of the act Of 1893 requiring bonds
to be sold by the treasurer. He also held
that contract to sell bonds cannot be
made before they are issued.
