Loper, charged with conspiracy to defraud the People's Banlr, began this morning before Judge Martin.

The results far surpass Anything heretofore attained In Shy country, and the oplnioh Is expressed by experts that it may revolutionize the building of battleships and fortllh'rttlona. Projectiles charged with this explosive were flred through Harveylzed nickel steel ajmor plate 12 inches In thickness, the shell exploding aftet passing through the fllnte—that Is to say, on the the ship or fort. The sensitiveness of this explosive la ■o great that a redhot Iron may be thrust Into a mass of it without causing an explosion. T&e explosion of the oompound after passing through the plate 'Is accomplished by means of a fuse, the Invention of an nruiy officer. The explosion Is controlled absolutely by meant of this fuse, so that it takes I place the las taut the shell passes through the ririndr plate.
