" KRONPRIN WILHELM INTERNS FOR WAR * German Raider’s Commander Sends Word to U. S. Official Washington, April 27.—Lieutenant Captain Thierfelder, commander of Y the German commerce raider Kron- prinz Wilhelm late vesteraay informed Collector of Customs Hamilton at Newport News, Va., that he would in- tern his ship for the war in American vaters. The commander presented this note: “Herewith I have to form you that I intern.” The Wilhelm, after repairing at the shipyard and loading quantities of supplies, began taking on 3,000 tons of coal at the local docks yesterday. Rumors that she would attempt a dash to sea past the allied warships wait- ing off the Virginia Capes had been current all day. Received With Surprise. Announcement that the German s commander would intern for the war without awaiting expiration of the time allowed him by the United States government to make his ship geaworthy, was received with sur- prise and relief by government officials. The raider’s action relieves the navy department of the necessity of keeping watch over the Wilhelm and an eye on the cordon of allied | chips off the Virginia Capes to assure Y t{he maintenance of American neutral- ity during the remainder of the time the cruiser had been allowed to make repairs. It is understood that several days of that period still remained. Only yesterday the navy department had determined to permit the Wilhelm to take 4,500 tons of coal, and on the heels of reports from Newport News . that the cruiser had begun . to coal, came Lieutenant Captain Thierfelder’s unexpected announcement to the col- lector of the port. The German com- mander gave no reason for the intern- ment, as had the letter presented by Captain Thierichens when ne interned the Prinz Eitel Friedrich, the first of the raiders to seek a haven in Hamp- ton Roads. Instructions From Germany. It was suggested here last night that Thierfelder’s announcement was made "after he had received Instructions from the German government through the embassy here not to attempt a @ash through the line of nostile war- ships off the Capes. The Wilhelm, which arrived at Newport News on April 11, after a cruise of several months, during which * she sank fourteen merchantmen, will be interned at the Norfolk navy yard and her officers and men will be al- lowed the freedom of the cities about Hampton Roads, under the same rules made for the crew of the in- terned Prinz Eitel Friedrich. offictally in- Yllness of Crew Given as Excuse. Newport News, Va., April —Lieu- tenant Captain Thierfelder of Kronprinz Wilhelm after notifying Collector Hamilton of his intention to intern his ship said that he had in- tended to attempt a dash past the allied warships off the Virginia Capes, | but that the illness of more than sixty ot his sailors with beri-beri would make that impossible before expira- “tion of the time granted by the United States government to make his cruiser seaworthy. It was understood the limit on that time was midnight of April 30. ‘7 loorshine Cedar Oil Polish CLEANING DUSTLESS POLISHING DUSTING A clear, pure polish for furniture, pianos, autos, linoléum and all finished ot hard wood floors.

SAYS ACID STCMACH CAUSES INDIGESTION > P Excess' of hydrochloric acid sours | the food and forms gases. Undigested food delayed In the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, ; says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hy- per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex- cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom- ach which prevents complete diges- tion and starts food fermengation. Thus everything eaten sours in the gtomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases , which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lum- py, misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive alds and instead, get from any phar- macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa- < ter before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and furthermore, to continue this for a week. While re- lief follows the first dose, it is import- ant to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus pro- mote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and ssodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people tor stomach trouble with excellent re- sults.

Youlh Hes Swestheart Pul Ribbon Attached to Revolver. Bridgeport, April 27.—Arthur Hearn Cowl, twenty-two years of age, | grandson of the New York drygoods millionaire, James A, Hearn, of 20 TWest 14th street, shot himself through the brain at the home of Arthur De Forest Wheeler, Academy Hill, Strat- ferd, about 10:30 o'clock last night and died at the Bridgeport hospital about midnight, It was a suicide of a most sensational character, carefully planned and executed in the presence of Miss Emily Wheeler, his flancee, youngest daughter of Arthur De For- est Wheeler. Young Cowl, whose mother is a daughter of the late James A. Hearn, came to Stratford from his home in New York yesterday afternoon, im- mediately going to the Wheeler home.

After dinner last evening, Miss | Wheeler and Cowl strolled out on the lawn in front of the Wheeler home. They sat down, and the young man, according to the statement given to the police by Miss Wheeler, took an éngagement ring from his pocket, She took the ring and then before she could say anything he handed her the end of a long ribbon. Al- though Miss Wheeler did not know it, one end of the ribbon was attached to the trigger of a revolver, the youth had concealed under his coat. “Here's a surprise for you, Emily,” said Cowl, ag he handed her the end of the ribbon. ‘“Just pull this rib- bon.” “Why, what for?” asked the girl. Girl Pulls Ribbon. “Never mind, just pull as I tell you and you will see.” And as he said it with a smile on his face, the girl pulled the ribbon, the revolver shot crashed out and the young man fell over at Miss Wheeler's feet with a bullet hole through his head. With a scream of horror, Miss Wheeler dashed into the house ana summoned Dr. W. B, Cogswell, of Stratford. Drs. Wright and Patter- gon, of Bridgeport, also were sum- moned and rushed to the Wheeler residence, But Cowl was then in a dying condition. ‘Wheelers Are Silent. The Wheelers declined today to say anything about the case.

The body was taken to that city on a forenoon train. Inherited Part of Fortune.

Paris, April 27, 5:35 a. m.—The first wounded soldiers who have ar- rived in Paris from the Yser speak with scorn of the asphyxiating bombs used by the Germans. “Their famous bombs killed nobody” said one of wounded Frenchmen.“They | just put to sleep those who breathed the fumes. Then the Germans came up and Kkilled the sleepers. For- tunately help came and we finished by smashing them.” Basing their opinions upon de- scriptions of the fumes, chemists gen- erally are of .the opinion the bombs i can do little harm in the open air and require so many favorable conditions as to make their successful use lim- ited.
