Lines of Least Resistance But

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. 15.-
Puritan anchored in Hampton Roads
today damaged the vessel so serious
ly that it was necessary to send a
hurry call to the navy yard to have
tugs sent to tow the battered war
ship to dry dock. Two explosions
were made, each with 200 pounds of
nitroglycerine gelatine, an invention
of Willard S. Isham, The explosive
was unconfined except as to a thin
covering of sheet iron. Naval officers
present acknowledge more damage
was done than they anticipated.
The first explosion cracked the side
plate of the after turret which is
eight inches thick and forced it in
ward about eight inches. A cat and
two chickens place inside in the same
position the sighter was to occupy
were not killed. The second explos-
ion bent in badly the ten inch side
plate of the vessels. thereby opening
a big hole below the water line. The
Puritan's stern stank to the bottom.
She draws IS feet and was anchored
in 10 feet of water.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The re-
suit of the experiment on the Monitor
Puritan refutes the contention of
naval officers that the explosion would
not materially damage the vessel, but
would follow lines of least resistance
and spend it's force upward and out

MEET TO CELEBRATE
SUFFRAGE VICTORY
Temperance Women Welcome
New Members and Express
Delight at Election Results.

Members of the w G. T. u. met al
the home of Mrs. c. H. Hogman YES
terday to welcome new members
some fifty of whom have been added
to the roll since the recent state con-
vention, and to celebrate the grant
ing of the ballot to women in this
state. The temperance women were
the only organized body here who
undertook to push the cause of equal
suffrage and while their belief was
strong in the right of their cause
they had not dared to expect victory.
Several addresses were planned for
the afternoon, one by Mrs. Mary
Yeager, state superintendent of suf-
frage. Mrs Yeager has talked votes
for women for a long time here and
planned contests and essay writing
with suffrage for subject. but at the
last meeting of the union before the
election, she was quite discouraged
over the matter.
Delighted at Result.
1t was with great delight, there
fore, that she talked on the success
full issue of the election and the fu-
ture opened to women by the ballot
The feeling is strong among the tenn
perance women that prohibition will
be an easy thing when the women
can make their feelings plain at the
polls, and the only regret was that
another election to try for a dry
Yakima could not be held for two
years.
Miss Carrie Grosenbaugh North
Yakima's only woman lawyer, who
has been one of the most persistent
though perhaps the quietest workers
for equal suffrage here, gave a short
talk on the jubilatioh program. With
her legal knowledge, she was able tC
tell how the women could use ths
ballot in the way of correcting laws
and in insisting on the enforcement
of good ones.
Mrs. F. NJ. Rossiter was to have
been on the program, but owing to
conflicting announcements Of the
meeting, thought it was not to be
until next Tuesday and was not pres
ent, a matter Of regret to her and IL
the ladies who had looked forward
to hearing her
The reception was very enjoy
able one, furthering acquaintance
among the members and bringing
about cooperation in the work.

Supreme Court Hands Down Rul-
ing Which Changes Complex
ion of Famous Standard Oil
Judgment of $29,OOO,OOO.

JACKSON, Fla, Nov. 15.-By q
ruling of Feedral Judge Mccall to.
day. the indictment of the United
States against the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana, by which it was
sought to have assessed penalties OF
$30,0S4,000, has been shorn of $29,-
$4,000 of its magnitude.
McCalls ruling was that the FL
kins anti-rebate law contemplated
each settlement and not each indiv-
idual shipment. The indictment as
returned charges 1924 offenses, each
shipment being construed a separate
olcense. The evidence shows only
46 settlements, all by monthly trans
actions, between the Standard Oil
company and the carriers named in
the bill of complaint.
Hence should the defendent COM
pany be found guilty, the maximum
penalty assessable would be $3.50, 600
OF secondary importance only in that
the final ruling is not made, Judge
Mccall also held tentatively that the
dates shown in the indictments
should conform to the proof rendered
in the trial. Along these restricted
lines it will be resumed tomorrow
