SEVENTEEN SHIPS
 SUNK BY THE ARMY
AWFUL IMAGINARY BATTLE FOUGHT OFF LONG ISLAND IN WHICH SHIPS ARE SUNK BUT ISLAND IS CAPTURED.

Portland, Me, August 27.-The events and developments in the war game today were held to be the most important since the hostile fleet first appeared off Port land. The navy made a grand coup in the capture of Long Island in the forenoon, while the army made a spectacular play in the destruction of all the seventeen ships that were attached to the coast defense in the afternoon.
 The navy, however, seems to have had a little the better of it, for strange as it may seems the capture of Long Island was considered more important than the destruction of seventeen vessels. Long Island has been declared out of the game until tomorrow night at o'clock. The big searchlights will not be working, which will be almost of unestimable value to the navy. On the other hand after sunset the destroyed warships went back into com mission again. The Hartford fought with the fleet, and although training ship, has been used as a cruiser.
 The movements last night and early today were not of great importance. None of the big ships took part.

GIGANTIC FRAUD
 NETS A MILLION
FAKE DIRECTORY SPINDLE GATHERS IN MANY MERCHANTS AND BANKERS OPERATIONS EXTEND ALL OVER COUNTRY.

Louisville, Ky, August H-A flake di- and by means of which over S1,Oo0,000 has been taken from merchants, bankers, etc., all over the country, is alleged by the local detectives as the ground for the arrest of Jacob w. Geist. Geist, who claimed to represent the National Gazet- teer of New York and Chicago, was taken into custody here today charged with having obtained money by false pretenses from five local firms. The officers declare that Geist's doings are connected with those of James Fallon, arrested in New York last April and of Arthur Hubbard, arrested in Washington about the same time on similar charges.
 According to officers, the men go to merchants to solicit advertising in a na- tional business directory and rating book. If bona fide order, signed by the mer- chant is given, 1t is raised in amount and so changed as to provide for payment at a date before delivery of the directory and advertisement If the merchant re- fuses he is persuaded to sign a blank ap- plication for sample copy, which later appears as a contract for payment over the victims signature. It is said that many merchants have paid rather than become involved in legal difficulties.
 The five local firms were swindled in amounts ranging from S250 to S100. The officers claim the scheme Is being worked all over the United States and Europe with a central office where the papers are altered by means of acids and print ing appliances

Former Secretary of State of Kentucky Addresses Jury in His Own Behalf and Says the $l000O0 Reward Fund
 Has Been Used to Secure His Conviction.

N GEORGETOWN, Ky, August 2z-Be-
 fore an audience packing the Scott >~ county court house to the doors Caleb Powers spoke for two hours to- night In his own defense, declaring his innocence of the charges preferred against him and pleading for his acquittal. Powers speech followed one of three hours and fifty minutes at the afternoon session by Attorney T. c. Campbell. MT. Campbell made an argument for the in- fiction of the death penalty. He produced records of the homicides and convictions in the state of Kentucky and compared 1t with that of the states of New York and Ohio, showing that Kentucky greatly exceeds that of both of the states named and that the pardon record of Kentucky from 1896 to 1901 is a disgraceful one when compared with states of the north and east. The other speakers today were Maj. A. T. Wood of the defense and Common wealth Attorney John K. Hendrick of the prosecution.
 In opening his speech, Powers said that
