standing this order no one moved. It

Patrolman Sherwood was called in to
settle the question and he ordered the
crowd to move. According to his account
of the affair the crowd attacked him
and he had to knock a man down In
self-defense, but according to the testi

FORT MONROE. Va., June 13. Pierced
with an American Whitehead torpedo
currying a charge of guncotton which
tore a big hole In her side, the United
Suites monitor Florida now rests in the
fiiydocjt at the Norfolk navy-yard, a vic
tim of a naval experiment to test the
vulnerability from torpedo attack of
watertight bulkheads. The water in the
vessel's holds gives her a list of 17 inches
to starboard. The test took place off
Pine Beach, near the Jamestown Expo
sition grounds, where the monitor was
anchored In 15 feet of water.
Tlie naval officials, while admitting
that the damage 'done to the vessel is
very serious, declare that It Is not vital
and say that the test is satisfactory.
They assert that a battleship equipped
with bulkheads similar to that tested
today could continue fighting, if injured
to the same etxent, unless some com
rartments on the same side were simi
larly punctured and the weather condi
tions were bad. Thorough investigation
will be necessary before the actual dam
age to to the bulkhead and collateral in
juries suffered can be ascertained and the
effect of torpedo charges properly meas
ured. Huge Hole In Hull
Upon her arrival at the drydock, the
Florida was immediately run Into the
dock and the water pumped out, in
order that a close examination of the
damage done by the torpedo could be
definitely seen. The examination
showed that a clean hole, extending
from the superstructure ten feet down
the hull, had been made and that it
was 20 feet in length.
The destructive power of the tor
pedo was the marvel of the examining
officers. The injury internally ex
tended In about eight feet at the cen
ter, but varied from four to six feet
on the margins.
The most Important disclosure,
however, was tiie fart that the dam
age did not extend beyond the water
tight compartment sufficiently to
cause any leakage. It was the opinion
of experts that without the bulkhead
the monitor would have gone down in
a few minutes at the most, and that
with it she could easily have been kept
afloat indelinitely with the use of
pumps.
Vessel is Squarely Hit.
The torpedo hit the vessel just about
midships and four feet below the water
line, a great column of water, estimated
at 20i) feet In height and 100 feet in
width, rising into the air. The torpedo,
guided by a trolley, struck squarely at the
point marked and penetrated the double
bottom and the coal bunker, forming part
of the compartments attacked. Pumps
were Immediately set to work and the ves
sel was towed to the Navy-yard for dry
docking. The crew of about 30 men and Admiral
Mason and other officials of the Ordnance
Bureau, boarded the monitor on reach
ing the place where the test was to be
made and remained there when the tor
pedo tore into the hull.
The effect of the contact and explosion
were practically the same as when a shell
was tired at the monitor's turrets several
weeks ago. One compartment was blown
open and two others partly flooded.
Metealf Inspects Ship.
Secretaries Metealf and Taft and Postmaster-General
Meyer went aboard the
Florida, In the launch Wabneta, and
looked at the incidental damage on the
fittings about the deck of the ship, caused
by the shock. They then returned to the
Mayflower, which later left for Wash
ington. Secretary Taft confessed that
the damage from the explosion was not as
great as he had expected. The ship ap
pears uninjured In her vital parts.
The monitor Florida was fortified with
a watertight bulkhead, specially con
structed and designed. The object sought
was to determine whether this form of
bulkhead, with which all American war
ships probably will be provided, can suc
cessfully withstand the force of the ex
plosive contained In the torpedo, or, in
default of that, whether the effect of the
charge will be to scatter destruction far
and wide and possibly sink the ship.
In ome respects today's test was sim
ilar to that conducted in 1903 by the Brit
ish Admiralty with the target vessel Belle
Isle, hut today's test with the Florida
was the first experiment of the kind in
the American Navy.
Rig Gun cotton Charge.
Two hundred and twenty pounds of
guncotton comprised the explosive
charge carried by the torpedo. Gun
cotton Is a powerful explosive, but the
hope o" the officials was that the dam
age it might do might be absorbed
lo.-nlly, thus insuring the stability of
llm remainder of the vessel's water
tight compartment.
Considerable jtimo Hnd work was ex
pended on the Florida in preparing her
for today's test.. as the officials have been
anxious it shall be complete and tlnal
as demonstrating the vulnerability or
lack of vulnerability of the latest con
struction In bulkheads In resisting tor
pedo attacks. Results obtained from to
day's experiment will be a guide for the
construction of watertight compartment
bulkheads of the new Dreadnaughts
North Dakota and Delaware now par
tially completed, and of the Florida and
others authorized at the last session of
Congress.
RIOT AT TONGUES OF FIRE
Crowd of Curiosity Keekers Has
Trouble AVith Policemen.
There came near being a riot last
night at the camp meeting of the Tongues
of Fire held on Mt. Tabor Heights
and presided over, it is said, by a ne
gro. The large crowd of curiosity seek
ers which had gathered to listen to the
shouting refused to move when ordered
to by the police. A struggle occurred
which resulted in the arrest of four men
who were singled out as1 the ringleaders.
They gave the names of E. A. Newton,
R. A. Newton and C. H. Newton, broth

CALIFORNIA PARTIES WILL
UXITE OS ONE ISSUE.
Gillett's Proposal to Bond State
Received With Joy Jpnild 3000
Miles of Main Road.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 11. (Special
Correspondence.) A good roads campaign
has been launched in California which
has met with such approval at the hands
of the "public that the two big political
parties have practically decided to make
one of the strongest planks in their plat
forms a declaration for a bond issue to
improve the highways The suggestion
came originally from Governor Gillett
at a good roads convention in Stockton.
Immediately thereafter the county dele
gates to the state promotion committee
assembled in Santa Cruz and discussed
road improvements. The suggestions ad
vanced by the Governor were unanimous
ly approved.
The general scope of the plan and the
enthusiasm with which it has been re
ceived merit an explanation of the details.
The Governor proposed a bond issue of
$18,000,000, which he figured would build
3000 miles of road, each mile to cost ap
proximately $0000. This would give the
state a broad macadamized road or oiled
road from the Oregon border to the Mexi
can line along the Coast, touching all
the important shore cities; a second road
running the length of the San Joaquin
and Sacramento Valleys; a third east and
west across the state, and a network of
feeders running into these main arteries.
In this way the road question in the state
would be solved for all time to come as
the expense of maintenance would not be
heavier than the burden now carried by
the individual counties.
'The Governor made a strong appeal
for the adoption of his plan. Com
merce, he said, traveled along the
highways, and poor highways stifled
trade. He figured that the resultant
good to the state in increased tourist
traffic, would almost in itself compen
sate for the outlay.
In order that the burden should not
fall too heaviiy on the communities
which might derive no direct benefit, the
Governor proposed that the state pay
only the principal, $18,000,000. and that
the interest be paid by the various
counties in proportion to the value of
the work done in each.
Road-building in the state has been a
county affair and has suffered from poli
tics. The railroads have used their vast
political influence asainst the construc
tion of roadways and in this the steam
ship companies have co-operated with
them.
The only objection raised against Mr.
Gillett's plan has been in the form of
protests against the large sums which
would be required for interest. The State
of .California is one of the richest, if
not the richest, in the Union, and it is
felt by some that the state could pay
as it went without ther necessity of a
bond issue. The suggestion has been made
that the state appropriate $900,000 a year
for 20 years and build the roads with the
money.

STOP ALL BETTING
Three Hundred Police Guard
Gravesend Track.
KEEP CROWD ON THE MOVE
Ten Men Arrested for Attempting
to Lay Odds District Attorney
Declares the Sew . Law
SLnst Be Obeyed.
NEW YORK, June 13. Three hundred
uniformed policemen and scores of plain
clothes men swarmed the confines of
Gravesend track today and gambling
was practically stopped, in compliance
with the Hart-Agnew laws. A few book
makers made quiet attempts to take
Wagers, and of these 10 were arrested
and arraigned before Magistrate Tighe.
Five of the bookmakers were discharged
and the others were released on $500 bail
for executfon of June 22.
Sixteen thousand went to the track
today, without the interest of the specu
lative, and except in the deserted betting
ring there was nothing to Indicate any
unusual situation. An hour before the
trumpet called for mounts on the first
race a line of 150 policemen filed into
the betting ring and the gathering
crowds were informed that the ring was
to be used only for a thoroughfare.
Jockey Club In Line.
Meantime, John Cavanaugh, head of
the Bookmakers' Club, mounted a stool
and told the bookmakers that the Jockey
Club would aid the police in the execu
tion of the laws. The bookmakers filed
out of the ring and dispersed among the
spectators on the lawn and in the grand
stand.
With all hope of gambling on a large
scale abandoned, some of the book
makers mood along the rail and made
bets with friends. This was quietly done
and only when the police were out of
ear-shot. Detectives in plain clothes
moved in and about the crowds and
whenever they saw three or four per
sons engaged in quiet communication!
they pushed their way between them
and ordered them to move on. In this
way crowds about the grounds were
prevented from gathering. One book
maker had the temerity to inform a
friend what the odds were on a certain
race, and was promptly arrested. The
arrests were made quietly by the police
and there was no disorder at any time.
Played No Favorites.
The police had no favorites in sup
pressing the gambling and patrolled the
clubhouse and the . enclosure. Several
wagers were made along the rail by pass
ing money in handkerchiefs. The bettor
would appear to take a folded handker
chief and hand it to a bookmaker, who
would place it in his pocket and nod his
head to indicate that the bet had been
mentally recorded.
August Belmont's Fair Play, quoted
at 2 to 5. easily won the $13,350 Brooklyn
Derby, lhii miles, today, equalling the
track record, 2:33. for the distance.
J. E. Madden's entry, Fayette, and Sir
Martin, in the Tremont stakes, worth
$12,500 to the winner, finished respective
ly first and second.
In a hard drive Gretna Green won the
$4050 net Brookdale handicap.
Enforce Luw to Letter.
The racing situation assumed a new
phase today when Assistant District At
torney Elder, of Brooklyn, came out
with an open threat to close the tracks
and force the discontinuance of racing
unless efforts to place bets at the tracks
are immediately discontinued.
"If the law is not lived up to, both In
letter and spirit," said he, "the police
will raid the track and close it up just
as they would any common gambling
place. We have authority to do this,
and for precedent can refer to the case
of Delancey vs: Flood, which was passed
upon by the Court of Appeals."
Nine bookmakers, who were arrested
at the Gravesend track yesterday, were
arraigned in the Police Court today.
Their hearings were adjourned to June 22
at the request of the District Attorney
of Kings .County, who had not received
a copy of the new anti-gambling law.
Denver Bookmakers Arrested.
DENVER, Colo., June 13. Every book
maker was arrested at Overland Park
this afternoon, the opening day of the
racing season in this city, as a result
of the local campaign against gambling.
Bond was ready in each case and as
soon as released the bookmakers re
sumed business without further interference.

TAKE GAMBLERS UNAWARES
Police Officers Raid Two Chinese
Joints Simultaneously.
Police Officers Kay, Smith. Keinlen and
Hunter, of Chief Gritzmacher's "plain
clothes" staff, raided two Chinese gam
bling joints simultaneously last night at
8:30 o'clock. The houses raided were Nos.
80 and 84 Second street. In both places
the men were taken unawares and were
caught with money and fantan parapher
nalia on the table. Nine prisoners were
captured in No. t- Second street and four
prisoners caught in No. 84. On the
gambling table in No. SO over $80 was
confiscated, but in the other there was
only a trifling sum. The raid was ef
fected In rather a sensational manner.
As the police station is in very close
proximity to the gambling houses and the
"lookouts" of the gamblers can easily
observe the movements of the police in
time to give warning to the players, a
scheme had to be devised to throw the
cunning celestials off the track. Accord
ingly the four officers making the raid
left the police station, and, going up Third
street, proceeded six or seven blocks
away and there boarded a car which
passes down Second street and directly
in front of the door of the gambling
houses.
When the car reached Second and Oak
the lookouts were dozing in a false sense
of security. Two of the officers jumped
from the front platform and two from
the rear and they made a rush for it.
The lookouts, being taken unawares,
were unable to give any sort of alarm.
They werft overpowered and pushed out
of the way, while sledgehammers wore
wielded on the barred doors. Two men
with hammers covered the front, while
the other two went to the rear and cut
off the exits in that direction. It was one
of the most successful raids the police
have ever made in Chinatown. No one
escaped and all the evidence against the
players was secured.
SMITH GAVE NO PLEDGE
Merely Told Kay He Kxperted to
Give Him His Support.
SALEM. Or., June 13. Special.)
As a tinal rejoinder to State Senator
T. B. Kay, Senator Smith today denied
that lie ever made an agreement to
support Kay for president of the Sen
ate in 1A09.
"I told him distinctly that I would
not pledge myself, but that I saw no
reason at that time why I shouldn't
support him," said Senator Smith to
day. "I have done some work in his
behalf already, but his change on the
Senatorial election makes it impossible
for me to help him further. He says
th;it his declaration thai he intended
to vote for the people's choice for Sen
ator'is a pledge. Yet he made tlie dec
laration in that form so that lie would
not have to vote for Bourne. If the
pledge was loose enouerh to leave him
free not to vote for Bourne, it seems
to me that it is loose enough to permit
him to refuse to vote for Chamberlain.
That's all I have to say."
