Towed by three -tug thf Florida reached the Norfolk navy yard thl aft rnoon . and docked. v'"-? " ' i' if Secretaries Taf t and Metcalf and the fcarty of naval experts made a closex amlnstion and found the monitor- in a bd plight.." The dynamo dome and Inner oal compartments were found to be , flooded. . The gun cotton charge of the torpedo, '. which was heavier than any ver used heretofore In any navy, tore an irregular oblong hole with en area of nearly 140 feet In the ship's side. Her plates were shattered from ; the water line to eight feet below; .'. J Notwithstanding the fact that the torpedo - crippled the monitor, experts discovered evidence that thoroughly proved the effect of , the new. type of bulkhead. - , I Whether today's test will tesult In the adoption of the bulkhead plan of construction was not indicated ty any f those who witnessed the experiment. ' The torpedoing of . the monitor fur nished a spectacular sight The tor IPedo, guided bv a trolley, was fired at a distance of 400 feet from the monitor, ts course was. followed by the rippling of the water. When it struck and ex ploded a huge - column of water shot , lilgh In the air. The Florida listed about If inches on the starboard side, "but the crew of 10- men under Rear-Admiral Mason manned the pumps and kept her from sinking. They say the explosion was so terriflo that for a moment thev thought the vessel had ha An torn asunder. . - It was also reported that the explo sion had only punctured one compart ment of the bulkhead, and the damage was found to be much greater than. this. In the .words of Oemmander William Btrother ' Smith, who was aboard 'the Florida, "It seemed as if she was struck a terrible blow and lifted upward and over. The shock to us standing In the after deckhouse was -terrific It seemed as if we were standing alongside a 12 inch gun. After the first impact, the boat shuddered from stem to; stern in a manner that Imparted for a moment that peculiar - sickening feeling that she had ben struck a violent blow and all was over.".. ,. . .? . . Terriflo Shook. Bo greet was the shock that the Flor ida's aearchlleht was smashed. This light Is mounted on her mast just above the turret, but the It inch shell that smashed her turret plate railed to toucn it. Not only this, but the dummy man piaced on her forward bridge that came out of he other attack unscathed waa thrown with, great violence. The Flor ida's starboard side was blackened and begrimed three supporting booms and her torpedo net were blown away, and the supporting booms were bent and twisted. . . But despite all these, she was still In condition to fight until the water flood ed the compartment $lt by the torpedo. This was her starboard coal bunker forward. The torpedo smashed her outer and inner shell below , the armor belt and blew the coal In every direc tion, but was confined there. Her mag azine and handling room 'were dry. Nothing in the boiler and engine room waa disturbed. I FIGHT TO ; CITY'S UPHOLD CHARTER LArgument on Anti-ProhibL tion Injunction De ! cision Saturday. I ' (Special Dispatch te The Journal) i Medford. Or., June IS. Circuit Judge -'Banna at Jacksonville today heard ar guments In the injunction proceeding brought by J, Hall to restrain th 'county, court ' from declaring: thl city dry. The defendant requested and were ' granted an extension, of time until Wed nesday to file their, brief, and the court will render It decision Saturday,.; '. , A record-breaking crowd heard the .arguments. The plaintiff waa repre sented by K. G. Smith and Judge B. Kelly, while District Attorney A. E. Reames and W- M. Colvlg of Grants Fans represented the defendants. The plaintiffs attorneys introduced a lone line of authorities in support of the' Medford charter. Mr. Smith read from the opinions of leading text-book authors and Introduced the decisions of ijnany supreme courts in 'Which similar charters have been au stained. ' Defendants JTot Prepared. 1 Judge Colvlg, special attorney for the 'i prohibitionists, took up the defense. Me admitted that the plaintiff had made a ' jstrosg case and atated that he had been railed Into the case at a late hour and had had no opportunity to go into the law books for authority with which to combat the plaintiff,' contention. -District Attorney Reames followed Judge Colvlg for the defense and stated that he understood the adherents of a r ary Medford had employed special coun sel, end assuming and understanding ' that they desired to be represented by "their, own attorney, he had given the case no preparation, nor had he prepared a brief; but, in bis opinion, plaintiff was nursuina- an improper remedy and in- Junction in such case would not lie, for the reason tnai an . adequate remeay could be baa at law. Charter Repealed, Local Option. -I The plaintiff contended that there Is nothing In the constitution to prevent passing a local or special law prohibit ing tne sale of liquor within any city Jn the state, and that the language of . the charter, in effect, repealed the local option law in tne city limits. "Whenever two law are conflicting,' Mr. Bmith said, "the courts have ruled that the one passed last repeal the earlier by Implication, especially when it is plainly inteiWed as a substitute Ar thA nA met. in th rtreiiant caiil From cases cited it appears to be set tled without a doubt in this state that a prohibition law may be made a local law. or that a locality may be excepted from It and from its operation. "The decisions also show that the charter amounts to a repeal of the local option law so far as Medford ii concerned. There is nothing In the con stltutlonal . provision relating to th forming of municipal corporation.1 Medford An Yfe or All Dry. : The local option law has been held o be a criminal law," continued Mr. Bmitn. tsj act or me legislature jnea ford 1 excepted from It provisions and It doe not apply to the city, a the constitutional amendment could onlv refer to criminal laws within the sphere of operation of the same, aoes iot extend to the operation of any criminal law. It does n&t carry any criminal law Into any territory where it is not . already operative, Th language of the Medford charter has reference to the local ention law and no other law. - "As a result of an eleotlon held under the. local option law, one half or the city was dry and one half wet. This absurd condition was intended to be corrected by the new charter and it was rassed for that purpose, and the legis ure, not content to confer upon Med ford the rower to license, regulate and prohibit ihe sale of liquor irrespective of any. law by the people at large, ex , presalr repealed all laws of the state, general or special, that in any wav re stricted the power of the city of Med ford. "A a result the city has'1 sinoe 11 ' censed th sal of liquor In that part of the city which voted dry,'' ROSE-CARifATION SHOW ill EKEHT Oregon City Justly Proud of Success of This Annual Event.

King Wilson, Ask Courf to End Life of St. Johns Sa loons at Once. The prohibition forces of St. Jehna, victorious In' th recent local option election-but temporarily deprived of the fruit- of victory by an injunction re straining the county court from declar ing the result of the prohibition election in Precinct 11, where the saloons of St. John are -centered, came into the cir cuit court yesterday faith a motion to dissolve the Injunction. In this move they were represented fcy A. King Wil son, who will act for the district at torney in fighting the case. Judge Oantenbeln. fixed next Friday morning aa the time for hearing the motion to dissolve 'the injunction. The motion ruea by Wilson sets rortn tnree Srounda for sweeping away, the barrier, ne Is the general objection that the complaint riiea in -tne name ot ua Magoon, a St. Johns saloon- man. does not state facts sufficient -upon which to base an injunction. 1 Another nolnt of objection is because the order of the court enjoins the county court from de claring 'the result' of the election, and the third point 1 that the injunction was put Into effect without notice. Reoreaentatlves of the "I prohibition lament Intimate that th injunction pro ceedings are only part of a game of de lay begun by the saloon Interests to pro long tne lire or tne dramsnops in bi. John a long aa legal ingenuity can keep them alive. , According to this view, ths"llqor men do not expect to win th case wtten it comes to trial, but they are prepar ing to appeal when the order goes against them and hope to keep open their doors as long as the appeal Is pending In the supreme court, playing all the time for all the delay possible. This Is the prohibition view of the case.
