Fletcher Born In oskaIoosa.
Badger .. was born in Windham,
Conn. Fletcher was born in Oskal-
loosa, Ia, in 1855, Among his pos,
sessions was fond elder brother.
The two youngsters played together,
the elder, being Robinson Crusoe,
! with. a practicable goatskin umbrella
made OF coon skin and a perfectly
good musketoon- that would almost
tshoot. Frank was the Friday end Of
the sketch. BY and by his brother
forgot the name he had been chris.
tened by and called him Friday en-
tirely. So that when he won the ex.
animation in the Sixth Iowa con-
gressipnal district for appointment to
the naval academy his brother took
him to Annapolis to get him started.
Perhaps you'd best sign the reg.
ister," said the modest cadet to his
brother. So the brother did, In a
large. flowing, copybook sort of hand.
This is the way he signed It:
Frank Friday Fletcher"
No cadet ever believed that Friday
4 wasn't really part OF Franks name.
So that from vainly trying to live 1t
down he finally adopted 1t. He grad.
uated in 1876 as one of the honored
men In notably brilliant class. Even.
tually he became one Of the worlds
authorities in ordnance. He is pat
entee of a number OF valuable inNen-
tons, which have been largely in.
strumental in aiding the man behind
the gun to boost the American navy's
percentage Of hits to an altitude that
the men of other nayies do not care
to discuss, AS an expert on torpe
does, too, he worked out tables and
designs which have something more
than doubled the efficiency of this
branch of ordnance. To-.
! Will Succeed Badger. ...
! Fletcher was held at the desk dur.
ing the war with Spain, because he
/ was needed there. Then he began
sea service, until 1907 he was given
one of the most important positions
| in the naval war college at Newport.
He returned to Washington as a
member of the special ordnance board
4 and after another tour of sea service
as an aid on the staff of Secretary OF
the Navy Meyer. He attained his flag
rank in 1911. and immediately after
the assassination of President Made
70 was sent to Mexican waters. He
has been held there ever since, be
cause of the tact and efficiency with
which he has handled the various per
picking questions that arose. His as
soclates say that Fletcher Is one o.
the great authorities upon interna
tional law. and that from the moment
MaderO first raised the standard OF
revolt against Porfirio Diaz, Fletcher
has been reading law and precedents
| constantly. He was given what
amounted to a free hand in Mexican
waters, and so conducted himself that
