was said, just as soon as the district
attorneys office has been informed
officially of the lunacy decision.
The impression that Thaw cannot
be brought to New York for trial does
not agree with two decisions of the
United States Supreme Court accord
ing to Assistant District Attorney
Black. The Porter Charlton case was
one instance, Mr.. Black said, and the
other that of Drew versus Thaw in
New Hampshire, when under Su-

similar to the present one.

Is Held in Miami

Miami. March 22.-Plans were
mapped out by the new State eXecu-
tive board of the Florida Equal
Franchise League at a meeting last
week to conduct campaign
throughout the State to get bill in
the coming legislature to give wom-
en- equal rights. A vote in the pri-
mary elections is what is being
urged by the association, as the pri-
mary vote means practically equal
suffrage.
The suggestion comes from prim-
AIRY headquarters in Washington,
and has been transmitted to Mrs.
William J Bryan in this State. Mrs.
Bryan has made several talks
throughout the State on the subject,
shd there are many women who
cave become aroused to their rights
through her lectures.
Mrs. Bryan appeared before the
heeting here recently, and put the
matter Of a campaign squarely up

some definite action will be taken at
INC next meeting, which will be
~ied for some time within the next
few weeks.

What actually happens when a
submarine fires a torpedo? What is
the usual distance between the sub
sea boat and its intended victim? Is
she on the surface when making the
attack?
A succession of events has made 1t
possible for statements to be OBJ
tanned of men and women on tor
pedoed steamships. and at least one
officer on a German U boat has been
able TO tell his story regarding such
attacks.
Launched Two Miles Away
IN the first place, no submarine
can launch its torpedo with any hope
of hitting the target unless the lat
ter is seen hy the man al the peri
scope. Therefore il must be near the
surface. so that observations can he
made. Torpedoes have a range OF
about 1000 yards about four land
miles As a general rule the Ger
man l. boats used in attacking mer.
chant vessels launch their torPcd es
from distance Of two miles. At
that distance it is very difficult for
any one on the doomed vessel to OBJ
serve their periscopes.
Torpeodoes rush through the water
at rate of from twenty-eight to forty
knots an hour. The average speed
figured in land miles is about thirty
six miles an hour As the torpedo
speeds through the water it makes a
waves like a huge FISH. In addition Is
the telltale wake OF bubbles caused
bv the exhaust from the compressed
air chambers that give it momentum.
Once the submarine is clear OF her
barbor and on the high sea where
she is destined to operate. her COM
mander must keep a keen watch for
anamv craft. He remains on the sur
face as much as he can. his coonning
tower and small deck being just
above water and his periscope stick
ing up fifteen or twenty feet further
