Tho Submarine TORPEDO Bont Adder
Shows Her Efficiency - Strikes the
Craven Amidships with u Wooden
Torpedo,
Newport, r. l., Sept. 16.-A pretty
exhibition of mimic warfare, import
ant as illustrating the effectiveness OF
the navy submarine craft, was given
Tuesday off Brenton's Reef lightship,
when the submarine torpedo boat
Adder succeeded in torpedoing the
torpedo boat Craven. So stealthily
did the Adder creep up on. the Cra-
ven that the wooden torpedo success
fully fired and struck the Craven a
smart blow below the water line
amidships before the crew on the
floating warship could man the guns
or the torpedo tubes.
Tie sham fight was continuation
of the program which was begun
some days ago as a test for the sub
marine boat and was success in
every way as far as the type was con-
cerned.
The Craven left the torpedo sta
ton during the forenoon and. run
ming down the harbor, cruised about
Brenton's Reef lightship awaiting the
dlluCk' Lie AuueT, instead OF 1OllOW-
ing Immediately, waited an hour in
order to get the crew of the Craven
off their guard. AS soon as Fort
Adams was cleared the submarine
boat plunged beneath the surface
and remained for As minutes, during
which time officers and men enjoyed
lunch without inconvenience. On
getting outside the harbor, the Adder
was once more sent to the surface,
but only her coming tower was ex-
posed. The Craven was sighted a
short distance outside the lightship
riding unconcernedly on an easy
swell.
The Adder again plunged and when
within 800 yards of the Craven a
wooden torpedo, in shape and size of
regular projectile, was fired. The
shot was good one and the torpedo
struck the Craven amidships with
considerable force, sufficient to per-
ceptibly jar the boat. The crew of
the Craven was unable to reach the
guns in time to fire shot. The Ad-
der then came to the surface and af.
ter one or two more dives the two
boats returned to the torpedo sta

INSULTED OUR FLAG.
Two Socialists Will Spend Six Months
in Prison for So Doing.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. TO-
Eduardo Conde and Leonidas Guillot,
two socialists who spoke in a recent
meeting of the American Federation
of Labor, We're put on trial Tuesday
for insulting the American flag and
threatening the life of Gov. Hunt.
Their speeches teemed with abuse of
the government. One of the prison
ers was accused of advising the work
men, upon the return of Gov. Hunt
on October l from the United States.
TO parade carrying black flags and
then to make demands upon the gov
ernment. If these demands were re-
fused, the speaker added, the alter
native of killing Gov. Hunt remained.
The other orator was said to have
declared that the American flag was
rag fit only to cover rascals and
criminals. The accused vehemently
denied the charges.
They were tried before Justice
Kopel, convicted of anarchistic con-
duct and sentenced to six months in
prison.
Justice Kopel says the flag is high
er than the law and anarchists need
never expect any mercy in his court
The case established a precedent as
Porto Rican official warning that
attacks on the flag and government
must stop. The Americans and loyal
Porto Ricans are jubilant, while the
socialists are angry at the decision
The convicted men will appeal from
the judgment, claiming that Justice
Kopel had no jurisdiction as there is
no law covering the offense. The in,
terest in the case is intense.
