of trouble with his re:tl estate down
on the big island, near liock Ii.utTs.
The waters of the old Missouri are not
only playing considerable havoc with
the prooerty, which is located near the
river, out "Crum'" i- also confronted
with the fact that a man named Mc
Canlcss with his family, has taken
possession thereof ami a great deal of
patient arguing has failed to induce
them to vacate the premises.
lti.ppeara that whilo "Crura" was
serving a short jail sentence in Omaha,
charged with passing counterfeit
money, a friend named Gochcnhauer
decided, without any good reason, that
he was the rightful owner of Stewart's
property, both real and personal. He
removed the personal property to his
own premises and installed the Mc
Canles family as tenants.
Ti;o ca-c wherein Stewart asks the
court for an order compelling the occu
pants to "clear out," will be tried
perhaps before a jury in Justice
Archer's court tomorrow irorning. In
the complaint Stewart asks to have
Mr. McCaiiless and wife prosecuted for
unlawfully taking possession of the fol

AN IRRESISTIBLE SHELL
Invented ISy One of Our Sol
diers Is a Success.
GOES THROUGH ARMOR WITH EASE
Nothing Withstands Its Impact, It Is
Said Cabinet Talks Over the
Neely Alleged Shortage.
Washington, May 9. Some facts al
most startling iu their importance was
laid before the senate yesterday In se
cret legislative session, at the conclu
sion of the regular open session. They
related. It Ls understood, to the Inven
tion of a shell by a prominent officer of
the United States navy, a shell su
perior in every essential quality to
any now in use either by this or by any
other government. The quality of pene
tration possessed by the shell is said to
be so great that no armor now manu
factured la the United States
or abroad has sufficient resist
ance to withstand it. The facts, which
were in po.ession of only a few sen
ators, were deemed so important that
the senate decided to consider them In
secret session.
Tillman Got No Information.
Yesterday after the naval bill had
been laid aside for the day Tillnran
asked for a secret session in order that
he might explain to the senate why he
desired the armor plate matter to De
discussed in secret. When the doors
were closed he explained that several
days ago he had offered a resolution
calling upon the secretary of the navy
to send to the senate for Its Informa
tion the details of tests made by the
department's officials of armor plate at
Indian Head. No answer to that in
quiry has been received and In all
human probability none will be re
ceived. Reason Why It Was Refused.
Tillman called at the navy depart
ment and was informed that It would
be unwise at this time to make public
the details of the test he had asked
for. as it would place in the hands not
only of the senate but of representa
tives of foreign governments Informa
tion that properly belonged exclusive
ly to the United States He was in
formed that Admiral O'Neil, chief of
the bureau of ordnance, had been con
ducting for several months a series of
armor tests at Indian Head, the results
of which were very remarkable. A
prominent official of the navy depart
ment said it is understood that the tests
of all sorts of armor, including the
Krupp armor, had been made with a
view of ascertaining their effective
ness against a new shell that had been
Invented by an officer of the navy.
No Armor Could Stand It.
No piece" of armor submitted to the
test, it is understood, was able to with
stand the test. The shell, fired from
high-power guns, penetrated the armor
almost as bullets fired from a Krag-
Jorgensen rirte would penetrate green
wood, the difference being-that the
armor plates split from the point of
Impact. It is said this was true of the
Krupp armor as well as of the other
armor tested. The argument of Till
man is that with snch a projectile in
the possession of the government it
would not be the part of wisdom for
the congress to enter into contracts to
purchase the high-priced armor unless
it could be so improved as to resist pro
jectiles of the kind used at Indian
Head.
. CASE OF NKKLVS SHORTAGE.
Cabinet Says Uncle Sain Is Responsible
Accused To lis K trad I ted.
Washington, May 9. The only mat
ter of interest which came before yes
terday's cabinet meeting was the al
leged heavy shortage in the accounts
of Charles P. Neely, formerly treasurer
of the postooiee department of Cuba,
Neely has been arrested in Itochester,
N. Y., aud the question arose as to
whether the United States or Cuba
was responsible for the amount of de
falcation. It seemed to be the opinion
of all the members present that as
Neely was apiointed by the United
States aud that in administering the
affairs of the island this government
is acting, in a sense, as a trustee, it
therefore, is responsible for the short
age, and can proceed agaiut Neely's
bondsmen for the amount involved.
It was practically settled, too, that Nee
ly would be taken back to Havana.
The iostolhee department has a re
j.Krt from Agents Seybolt and Neal as
to the amount of postal revenues in
the hands of Charles F. W. Neely,
chief of the bureau of finance for the
postal department in Cuba, April 23.
At that time, according to these re
ports, he apparently accounted for all
sums due the government, and It ls
said by postotnee department officials
that if Neely embezzled postal funds
he must have juggled the figures and
made false entries or else taken the
money immediately after the balance
was struck. He is now charged with
being $3;,ou0 short.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath denies emphatically that he is
interested directly or indirectly with
Neely in his printing business. He also
says: "Mr. Neely was an appointee
of Director of Posts Rathbone, and
Kathbone is an appointee of the post
master general aud the president. He
comes from Ohio, and, as I am In
formed, is a friend of the president.
If Neely has done work for the gov
ernment and has been overpaid for it,
or if he is wrong in his accounts, it is
the concern of Director Rathbone and
the auditors of the war department.
He might have stolen the whole island
and we know nothing of it here. It is
true that Mr. Neely was an old friend
of mine. We came from the same town
and had known each other for a long
time. But it was not my appointment
which put him in the Cuban service
He was taken down there by Mr. Rath
bone a loner with a number of clerks
from the h?ai-tment."

Judge M. It. Nicholson, Long a Fusion
Leader. Will Vote for McKlnley.
The following special from Topeka
to the Ktnsas City Journal indicates
the way the political tide is drifting
n thE Sunflower state:
Topeka, May 4 Judge M. B
Nicholson of Council Grove, for many
yearsone of the fusion leaders of the
state, and who has frequently been
mentioned by the f usionists as a candi
date for associate justice, has tired of
Bryanism and "the haul down the
fl-ig" policy of the fusion party in the
state and nation. He proposes to vote
for McKinley this year. His declara
tions regarding the matter will no
doubt cause much commotion among
the fusionists on account of the promi
nence he occupied in their party.
"I propose to vote for McKinley this
fall, if I live so long as that," said the
judge. "I have grown weary of the
course that is being pursued by the op
ponents of McKinley, in fact, I have
been getting more and more weary
ever since the Spanish-American war
broke out. I wasn't much in favor of
getting into that war. I thought it
might have been avoided, but we got
into it and from that time there was no
course for a loyal man lo pursue except
to sustain his country. My boy en
listed and while I hated to see him go,
I did not try to dissude him. Before
the war commenced, the opposition
that is our party, were doing thei- best
to drive McKinley into it, redy or not
ready. McKinley was doing his bes
to prevent a war, and I honor him for
it. It was the right thing, the pat
riotic, the humane, th statesmanlike
course to take. As soon ns wr was de
clarcd the very people who had been
howling at McKinley for not commenc
ing sooner b?gan to abuse the Hd minis
tration because there was some sick
nes and lack of qu'p nent timing tie
tro ps. They nsver missed an oppo-'
tunity to abuse McKin'ey and his ad
ministration, although th-rc never has
been an army of 20,000 meti got tc
gether and quipped under th same
circumstances in lha same leiigth of

the government of the United Str.tea
was able to do it. Since the war com

as a natur .1 and logic-u s quence, but

would be an unchristianlike act,a cruel
act, a contemptible act, for the United
States to withdraw our troops now. It
would leave the natives who had been

would be revenge and plunder. Mc
Kinley has been right in his course in
the Philippines. He was right all the

throwing bad eggs, chunks of worth-

girl is employed at the Sitzmann
boarding house, located next door to
Atlantic bouse, and, for some reason
or other, there exists absolutely no
love or friendship between ,he two
families, and each has apparently fol-
owed a course with a view of making

Marshal Slater served a warrant on
