TO TACKLE TORPEDoES
Testing a New one-Pound Gun, Of
Frightful Power

NEW YORK, June 3-The Navy Depart
ment will make an exhaustive test this
week at the Indianhead proving grounds
OF an automatic one-pounder rifle said to
be capable of firing 1870 shots a minute.
says the Washington correspondent of
the Tribune. The tremendous advantage
to be gained by such a weapon may be
appreciated when 1t is said that the best
guns now in the naval service capable of
throwing one-pound projectiles and ope-
rated by well-drilled crews, never exceed
fifteen to twenty shots minute, and at
that rate for brief period. The terrific
effects on light armor of such a gun can
hardly be overestimated, especially in ac-
tion against torpedo boats, which would be
rendered altogether useless in the daytime
and perhaps at night If vigilant watch
was maintained against their close ap-
proach. The effective range of a torpedo
is scarcely half mile, and until torpedo
boat can approach within that distance of
battleship or other object Of attack its
presence may be practically ignored. Pro-
tectiles from one-pounder, however, can
penetrate any armor it has yet been feasi-
BILE to place on torpedo destroyers and
gun that can throw over a hundred one
pound shells within minute would ami
hilate any existing torpedo boat before it
could enter the requisite half-mile circle.

JAMES PARKfR'S CRIME
EXPIATED BY DEATH ON TIE
GALLOWS
The Train Robber and Murderer Ex-
pressed the Opinion That He
Got More Than His Dues

PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 3.-James Par
ker was hanged in the enclosure of the
Court House yard this morning. He was
baptized in the Catholic religion yesterday.
The arrival here of six of his old friends
from Visalia, Cal, Wednesday night.
caused rumor yesterday that an effort
would be made to prevent his execution,
but beyond visit to him from one of the
number no demonstration was made. In
lvitations to the execution were limited to
about forty persons.
Parker spent restless night in Jail, and
for the first time since his incarceration
called for stimulants, Of which he partook
rather copiously last night and this morn
ing. Father Quetu, his spiritual adviser,
entered the Jail about 9 o'clock this morn
ing and spent three-quarters of an hour
with him.
The death warrant was then read to him
and the march to the scaffold started at
1925. AS the condemned man emerged
from the gloom Of the jail, where he had
been confined for over year, into the
bright sunlight, and his gaze fell on the
death trap, from which he was to enter
into the deeper gloom of the unknown, he
paused for a moment with manifestations
of great emotion.
Quickly recovering his composure, as he
|neared the scaffoid he said to Sheriff Ruff
ner, who was leading him, "Let me see that
thing" referring to the scaffold. II never
looked at one before"
The Sheriff permitted him to go under the
scaffold and he made a critical examina-
ton of the structure, seeming to be specially
interested in the mechanism of the trap.
After satisfying his curiosity he walked
steadily up the steep stairs to the platform,
when he took off his slippers and cast them
aside. AS the officers were pinioning his
arms and legs he noticed man among the
spectators for whom he formerly worked
and saluted him with a smile and said,
Hello, Jack, how are they breaking?" He
gave several minor directions to the off,
GERS as to the adjustment of his death par
apharnalia, objecting to having his legs tied
together, as he said II amt going to strad-
die out" When everything was In readi-
ness he looked at the spectators and said:
II have not much to say. I claim that
am getting something that amt due me. but
guess everyone who is going to be hung
says the same thing, so that cuts no figure
Whenever the people say I have to go,
am one who can co.
The black cap was Immediately adjusted,
when he requested that 1t be raised so he
could shake hands with the officers. The
request was granted and he bade farewell
with the group of officers on the scaffold,
saying he had no ill-will against any of
them. The cap was then pulled over his
head, the moose adjusted and at 10:31 the
trap was sprung and the murderer of Lee
Morris had satisfied the demands of the
law with his life. At the expiration Of ten
minutes and seconds life was declared ex-
tinct by the physicians, his neck being
broken in the fall. The badly was cut down
and turned over to the county contractor
for burial.

ARCTIC WHALERS
Not in Greater Danger Than the Relief
PARTY

SEATTLE, Wash, June 3.-The schooner
Brixam brings news that the revenue cut
ter Bear, conveying relief to the impris-
oned whalers is at Dutch Harbor. The of.
ficers of the Bear recently attempted to
form connection with the overland party
under Lieutenant Jarvis, but got only 200
miles north of Dutch Harbor. There the
ice was found packed so hard they could
not cross to Bering Sea and all further
plans had to be abandoned No news has
been received from Lieutenant Jarvis.
A hurricane which seriously threatened
the entire shipping of that locality swept
over Dutch Harbor and Unalaska, on May
2. During the storm, the schooner Helena
was driven ashore, though not seriously
injured; the ship Massachusetts dragged
her anchors and, but for the timely assist
ance of the Bear, the bark Harry Moetz
would have been hurled upon the rocks
and broken to pieces
According to the officers of the Brixam
the schooner Fischer Bros. had arrived
a Unalaska after an exciting experience
in Bering Sea- She tried to push her way
through the ice pack some 800 miles north
of Unaaska and for a time it looked as
if she would never get out. For nearly
a week she was in the ice pack unable to
get either way. A sudden change in the
wind opened UP a channel and released
her.
