A MONEY LENDER
SENT TO PRISON
How They Treat Usurers in the
Faderland

Berlin, April 9.-Hernrich Pariser. Il
wealthy money lender, was sentenced
today to two years imprisonment and
to pay the fine of $500 for usury. Six
ty specifications were brought. includ-
ing the complaints Of several noblemen
and army officers.
In one instance he charged Baron
Won e. (the court did not permit his
full name to be known. 256 per cent,
which the baron paid, though he had
an unmortgaged income from landed
estate amounting to $4,000 yearly
Another case was that of a millionaire
who paid interest at the rate of 100
per cent for a short term loan OF S5,0Oo.
Pariser admitted having charged the
rates mentioned, but he said enormous
risks reduced his profits to 10 per cent.
on the capital involved and said his
gambling on human nature enabled
him to make only 5 per cent more than
in regular business. Part of his return
for so hazardous an occupation was
the pleasure which his daily battle
with unscrupulous noblemen and so
cial humbugs" gave him.

.BATTLESHIP IOWA
SCENE OF EXPLOSION
Fatal Result Of Target Practice
in The Gulf
The Last Shot for the Dinner Hour
Yesterday Was the Death Knell of
Three Brave Seamen-Five More
Men Badly Injured.

Pensacola, Fla, April "a disastrous
explosion occurred on the battleship
Iowa today while the vessel was at
target practice in the gulf. The for
ward 12-inch gun burst from prema-
ture explosion OF a shell, Il feet of the
piece outside the turret being demol-
ished. Three men were killed and five
injured. two seriously. The killed:
KIEHLE, first-class seaman.
PURCELL, ordinary seaman.
BERRY, gunners' mate.
The injured: First-Class Seaman
Gocht; Ordinary Seamen Truesdale,
Brown, Rothschild and Parrucker.
The men killed and injured were on
the second or gun deck at mess. Three
pieces of the exploded gun each weigh
ing over a ton, passed through the spar
deck, falling upon the men at mess
instantly killing the three named. All
of the men were horribly mutilated.
The heavy missiles after passing
through the gun deck continued down
to the third deck where they came in
contact with the armCred deck, the
heavy steel bringing them to a stop
thus, saving the engineers and firemen
who were at work below. Although
the upper decks were covered with men,
none were seriously injured. The eX-
plosion occurred just as mess had been
sounded. The firing was to have ceased
after the shot for the dinner hour.
The range had been set and the Iowa
was steaming along at speed of
twelve knots an hour when the officer
in charge of the 12-inch turret gave the
order to load and fire. The time fuss
was set, the piece charged, the breech
closed and the word given to fire. Fol
lowing the report of the gun there was
a smothered noise as the shell explode /
midway in the gun and pieces of tire
bursted gun and shell We're scattered
broadcast. Three great holes We're torn
through the deck. The Massachusetts
six miles distant, was signaled for aid
and one of the cutters put off with a
surgeon and assistant surgeons. The
injured men were taken to the hos
pital and their injuries dressed. The
dead were brought to Pensacola. Somr
claim the explosion was caused by ]
defective she'll, and others think tha,
the frequent firing of the piece at Guile
bra during the winter, added to the
work done here during the past ten
days, so strained the gun that the force
of the charge burst it.
