SERIOUSLY
. DAMAGED
However, Naval Officers Say
the Attack Was an "Qt
ficial Success" and tli?
, Vessel Is Put Temporarily
Out of Commission.
(United Preu Leased Wire.)
Norfolk, June 13. The monitor
Florida, which withstood the bom
bardment of 13-inch guns two weeks
ago, was made the target of a heav
ily charged Whitehead torpedo,
which exploded against her bottom
slightly aft of amidships today, but
she still floats. Her crew, who re
fused to leave at the former test, re
mained on board 1 again today and
are Still on the ship. She is barely
but of commission and the damage
is not believed to be serious.
The watertight compartment test
was successful. ,
The attack on the- Florida, however,
was pronounced successful by the ex
perts, and the target officially is "de
stroyed." Encouraged bv the example of Tlie
crew of the Florida in the last test,
the naval officials who are superintend
ing the test also remained on the ship.
The torpedo was fired from a dis
tance of 200 yards. When It struck
the bottom of the monitor there was
a great shower of .water, smoke and
steel. OnIy the specially constructed
bulkhead compartments, 12 feet square,
e opened by the torpedo.- which ap
?ntly exploded as soon as it struck
the armor plate.
The damaged compartments were par
tially filled with coal, and this rirob-
ably lessened the effect of the explo
sion. The steam apparatus of the
monitor was not ImDalred bv the tor
pedo. The -test was Considered a great
success.
In SDita of tne decision tnat xne tor
pedo waa successful, tha crew of the
Florida are jubilant, still believing the
monitor Is superior to tho attacks of
modern destructive Implements of war
fare. They laughed before the test to
day when asked if they desired to leave
the war vessel, and all agreed that they
would stay aboard until she went down.
The test was considered of world
wide importance, second only to the fa
mous battle between the Merrlmao and
tha Monitor.

arrived highbinders were heaevily

That a murder was averted by the
prompt action of tne sheriff is the be

tragedy that wiped out an entire family

the family was seated around the break

C eared at the door leading front the

cried: ' .
"Here's where we all gp.
With that she turned the revolver on
her husband, killing him at the first

18 years In age, were too shocked to
move and before they had time to say
pnything. their insane mother had killed
two of them. The others ran screaming
Into other portions of the. house, but re
loading her revolver aa she ran, the In
sane woman followed them and killed
them all, dropping one after another
with her deadly aim. . .
The cries and shots had by this time
attracted the attention of neighbors and
some ran into the house to see what
was the matter. The woman met them
at tha front door and with a wild shriek

chairman of the national Republican
committee when it Is reorganised.
Hitchcock says he Is not running for
anything except to nominate Taft.
Nevertheless observers say that Hitch
cock Is merely being a little .coquettish,
whereas if the full truth were known
he already has the appointment In his
inaida Docket. They Dolnt to the Inti

areue that he Is naturally the man most
desirable to the secretary of war, whose
