an examination at once.
While opinion prevails here that the

disease. DR.. Goldberger found about

considerably. He returned to Wash
ington tonight with his observations.
One French warship and one British
cruiser were sighted today off the
Virginia capes by pilots who brought
ships into port. The pilots brought a
report they received from merchant
men that the British knew the Kron-
prinZ Wilhelm had steamed north from
the equator several weeks ago and
that she was believed to be in Ameri-
can water. Vigilance outside the capes
seemed to be greater for outgoing than
incoming vessels, they said.
Late tonight 1t was reported that,
while two warships were guarding the
Virginia Capes, four or five others were
searching the Atlantic for another Ger
man sea raider. This served to revive
speculations as to the German cruiser
Kar' srhue, several times reported de-
str0yed.
Officers of the Wilhelm asserted they
did not believe the Karlsruhe had been
destroyed. One declared that the
Karlsruhe had been heard from since
she was last reported destroyed. A
number of the crew stated the Karls
rhue last summer destroyed British
naval base at Bridgetown, Barbados
islands, and that details of the exploit
never were revealed.
Late tonight it was learned that the
naval board who examined the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich still were at Norfolk
and would be commissioned to in
vestigate the needs of the Wilhelm.

VISIT To
FRANCIS JOSEPH

GENEVA, April 13.-tVia Paris.
April 14.)-Information has reached
Geneva tending to confirm the reports
that Emperor William paid visit
late last month to Emperor Francis
Joseph According to this information,
Emperor William hastily determined
to visit Emperor Francis Joseph upon
receiving from Prince Won Buelow, the
German ambassador to Italy, mes
sage to the effect that negotiations be-
tween Austria and Italy concerning
territorial concessions by Austria as
the price of Italys neutrality, had
failed.
Emperor William at once ordered
that his special train be prepared and,
accompanied by two officers, set forth
for Vienna, travelling incognito by way
of Munich. The train was stopped
near the castle at Schoenbrunn, on the
outskirts of Vienna, to which Emperor
William went by motor car.
With Francis Joseph were Baron Won
Burian, Austria-Hungarian foreign
minister and Count Tisza, the Hun
garian premier. Emperor William is
said to have conversed with them for
three hours.

DETROIT, Mich, April 14.-Fifteen
persons were killed and about 20 in
jured late today in collision be-
tween a Detroit city street car and
a freight train. Most of the dead
are foreigners, four of them being
women.
The street car was heavily loaded
with passengers homeward bound
from their days work. AS it ap-
preached the crossing the conductor
ran ahead to see if the track was
clear. He signalled the motorman to
wait. but apparently the latter mis-
understood his meaning and ran the
car onto the tracks. The freight
struck the car fairly in the middle,
smashing it almost to bits. The wreck.
age was pushed along hundred feet,
several of the dead and injured drop
ping along the street before the train
could be stopped. 1t was several
hours before many of the injured
could be extricated from the wreck.
