Newport, r.. l.. May l9.-The torpedo
boat Vesuvius was struck by one of
its own torpedoes late to-day and was
bcached on Hope Island, Narragansett
Bay. when the lives OF those OH board
seemed imperilled by the waters which
rushed in through n hole astern.
The beachiug of the Vesuvius was
81 fcly accomplished by Chief Gunner
Thomas Smith. the commanding Off
Ger. Besides the regular crew, fifty
seamen gunners were on board AT
low tide tonight the vessel was high
and dry. but later worked herself off
the beach and proceeded to the torpedo
station under her own steam.
The Fesuvius which. as a dynamite
cruiser famous as one of the first yes
sells of the new navy" was being used
for torpedo instruction in Narragan-
sett Bay. AS n practice Whitehead

went awry in some manner not yet de

Senator From West Virginia
Upholds Declaring of
Martial Law.

Washington, May I9.-After more
than week of debate the Senate to-
night referred to the Education and
Labor Committee Senator kern's reso-
luton for a Federal investigation
of conditions in the West Virginia coal
fields Senator Kern announced on the
floor before the viva voce vote was
taken that an agreement had been
reached to refer the resolution. and
IL was understood that the committee
would report it out within a few days.
Senator'S opposed to the resolution
believed tonight that they had won
partial victory, and that they had
no reason to give up hope. Some op-
position has developed lately among
Senators who do not concede the right
of the government to investigate the
acts of n State In relation to her own
citizens. within her own borders. and
when the committee reports the reso-
luton back, the fight against 1t may be
continued with vigor.
Senator Goff closed the debate on the
resolution. He admitted conditions
were bad in West Virginia, but pointed
out that the strike was settled now
and peace was returning to the dis
Sturbed regions. He laid the blame for
the trouble at the door OF labor agita-
tors. and said that the Governor could
do nothing else hut declare martial
law. 80 -

Washington. May 19.-Paired votes
i'm executive sessions of the Senate

Hereafter a Senator. to MAKE mis- in

heretofore has been one of the fac

for paired Senators to be present and
