XTRA! (By United Press Cablegram.) LONDON, Nov. 8. Torpedoing : of the American steamer Roches-; ter was formally announced by the admiralty today. Four of those aboard were killed and the second mute and 13 others are missing, it was stated. Thirtyone survivors have been landed at Buncrana and Rossport. The American vessel was struck i on Friday and sunk. iMK' III It K l AT STATU I'll XI.. 1 Nli I A N. I '. !. S, Ind . Nov. 7. Suit is to !. startt-d within a slios't time j to test the con-.tit Jtlonality of the j Indian;! state-w ide prohibition law, I which was enacted by the- legislature j last winter. None of the details of j tli" i Ian are known as yet. It is not! p-t known just where the suit will b started, bit it is understood that it will prohaldy be filed in this county and that, no matter what the- decision of the Will b and a the Sec.,,,. I W'h ich lower couit may he. an at e taken to the. supreme c decision urip'd in time to teal urt estion finally settled before th day of next April, the day the prohibition law takes ef feet. In.ei ests, that have succeeded In knocking out the woman suffrage law and the constitutional conv aiion. Jaw believe tl.ey will not have a greater Job in knocking out th prohibition law. At least they are wilFnff to try it. Th"V realize, however, that an atta-k or! the prohibition law will be iiuch Boss popular than either r.f the "the;- two cases, because the prohibition idea has taken such a firm and sol 1,1 hold on the people of the state that any attempt to break down this law will meet with the hardest hind ..f fi-rht. This fact, however, will not deter the opposition from making the attack. Much preater d mbt as to' the success of this prop. fed action" Is expressed Koneraliy than was the ease with the other two suits. Beal constitutional questions were involved in those cases, but it is pointed out that in order t" r,nk a strong- attack on the constitutionality of tb.e prohihi- ; tion law it will be necessary to hunt I hard for a constitutional pround enj which to make the attack. I It. is said that there has been some quiet, maneuvering recently amnn? the W e r o r - in connection with th prohibition suit that is to be brought. It lias even been said that they were anxious to have a judge appointed to f'll the vacancy on tb.e supi eir.e court bench onus.--) hy the death of Judg" Irwin, and that they hoped to have the appointment made during the absence of Governor Goodrich f.,,m his office while laid up with typhoid fever. If they had su-h a plan in mind it failed to work out. The report was that the "'wets" wer anxious to have a Judce appointed on whom they might depend to vote to knock out the pro hibition law. No name r.f a man for j the . place wa' sceaested openly. ,and it is not known whom these interests favored for the place.
