THE KRONPRINZ,
TOO, INTERNS
Commander Gives Illness of
Crew as Reason.
NO TEARS SHED THIS TIME
The Commander Announced His De.
elslon In a Matter-of-Fact Way,
Saying That so Of His Crew
Were III From 1eri-beri.

Newport News, Va.-Very unex-
pectedly came the announcement that
the German auxiliary cruiser Kron-
prinz Wilhelm would intern, instead of
accepting the alternative of escape
past the British and French squadron
in waiting off the Virginia Capes which
permitted the 28-knot raider to make
Hampton Roads two weeks ago with
out the firing Of single shot.
Three weeks prior the German
raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich had en-
tered Hampton Roads despite the vigil
of the same ships, four in number, and
all cruisers of modern battle type. Col
lector of Customs Norman R. Hamil-
ton had just entered his office from
Norfolk with a bundle of correspond
ence which he had intended answer
ing at the Newport News Custom
House.
He had barely started dictation to
his stenographer when Commander
Paul Thierfelder, of the Wilhelm, en-
tered and presented letter declaring
his purpose and desire to intern his
ship. By P. M. Collector Hamilton
had communicated with the Treasury
Department at Washington and with
Admiral Beatty at the Norfolk Navy
Yard, and the Wilhelm was officially
Interned.
No Tears Were Shed.
The large bundle of correspondence
still remains unanswered. Fifteen
minutes later President George w.
Stevens, of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, arrived at the Custom House
and when informed by Mr.. Hamilton
that the Wilhelm interned, he con-
graduated Commander Thierfelder
upon his decision, wise in view of the
overwhelming naval strength awaiting
him outside the Capes and COM
mercially important to the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the shipping interests of
the port because of the necessity
otherwise of having to hold up a vast
Cmount of British and French ship
ping.
Unlike the ceremony of interning
the German cruiser Prinz Eitel Fried.
rich, there were no tears of regret, nc
prophesies of what could have hap
pened had not the German Embassy
at Washington, intervened. To all
outward appearances it was purely q
business transaction. Commander
Thierichens, of the Prinz Eitel, was
overcome when notifying Collector
Hamilton, April 6, that he had beer
directed to intern. He assigned as his
reason that he could not attempt ar
escape because the aid he expected
from German ships, supposedly at sea
had not materialized.
ThlerfeIder Gives a Reason.
Commander Thierfelder, of the vii
helm, was honest enough to admit tha
he had Sc men aboard still i'll will
beri-beri and that he could not maj
his ship unless he could recruit like
number to take their places, whicl
would be impossible in a neutral port

A Modern Fable.

A kingdom Of modern merchan.
disc is like unto men who went
forth to sell goods in a small town.
For years the drummer" made his
periodical visits, and whatever he
had to sell the man bought and
sold to his customers in turn.
One day a manufacturer of that
country produced an article of SUI
perior value and told of it in the
m agazines. People read the adver-
tisements and demanded the article
of the man. He did not have it,
and offered a substitute, but the
people would have none of it, and
sent away to the city to store
that advertised they had this su-
perior article and would sell it any
where for the price. And the man
put the article in stock. but still the
people sent to the city for it.
And the man in the small town
rallied against the store in the city
and asked a neighbor: why do
you you send to the city for that
article when | can sell it to you for
the same price less the postage?'
But the neighbor said. Il didn't
know you had it in stock"
Then he remembered how that il
is written, Thou canst not sell an
article by having it in stock alone
Thou must let the people know
thou hast it." And he asked him
self, How better can l let the PEG
pie know than by advertising?"
And he arose and bought liberia
sp ace in his local paper, and tolc
the people that he had the article
they wanted and quoted prices a
those quoted by the city store. And
10, the people bought of him anC
his business grew and he was pros
porous ever after.

Harry X. Thaw is free man.
There is a question in the minds of
many whether this man Thaw de-
serves his liberty. For some nine
years Thaw has made his appear
ance in court. At first they were
dead anxious to have him declared
insane and ever since that decision
was handed down they have been
trying to prove he is sane. The
crime Thaw committed. in way,
was a dastardly one and crime
that poor man would have been
electrocuted for long ago. There is
not the least doubt that Stanford
White was a fiend of the lowest
kind. but from all the evidence in
PRODUCED Thaw was no angel
merely a case of dog eat dog. Thaw
has been punished. for if sane, who
could ask for worse punishment fol-
any one than to be confined with a
lot of bowling maniacs. There is
no doubt the man has been perse.
Gu ted by one person in particular
to some extent and this Ease of the
case is to be regretted. With all
his money Harry Thaw has regain
ed his liberty, and it is wondered
whether he will profit by the exper
fence he has had and try to be
something in the world.

little business and every kind of

US eful,"
But what do you think of his
attitude on the so-called trustsT'
Mr.. Bedford was asked.
In my opinion the country
will soon find that his attitude
is the correct one. take it that
he has no intention of suppressing
or destroying anything in business
except that which is in itself fun
damentally injurious to business.
In other words. he would properly
regulate big business, and this is
the correct attitude toward the
Question.
No honest man, no honest cor
lporation. no legitimate combination
of interest will object to honest reg
ulation. Men at the head of big
business are human, just as much
as men at the head of small con.
Germs. They may need the curb
sometimes. and even if they don't
need it. it is just as well for them
to know that there is lodged some
where power that is capable Of
pulling them up when they are in
clined to sidestep their proper obi
cations. And Mr.. Wilson. from
what understanding l have of his
character and intentions, is friendly
to all legitimate and wholesome
business interests"
