Secretary Daniels Taking Every Precaution Regard ing Possible Action by
 Captain of Prinz Eitel

Washington, March 27.-The battIe- ship AIabama of the reserve fleet, was ordered to Hampton Roads tonight on ~neutrality duty,- according to an an- nOuncement from the navy depart ment. The battIeslip is at the PhiIa- delphia yard.
 Secretary Daniels said it was intended to place one large vessel on guard to sunRort the submarines and destroyers winch have been on duty since the Ger man cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich reached Newport News. Heavy ships had been employed in neutrality duty at Boston and New York, the secretary said and it was thought best to take similar precautions at Hampton Roads as the smaller vessels would be handicapped in the event of heavy weather.
 The Alabama is the flagship of Rear Admiral James M. Helm, commander ip chief of the Atlantic reserve fleet Secrer tary Daniels said Admiral Helm would decide whether he would accompany his ship
 Navy officials said the Alabama prob- ably would not be able to get away until sometime tomorrow as it would be neces- sary not only to round up her crew who had been given shore liberty. but also to take on stores. If the ship needs coal. 1t was said, she might not be able to leave for Hampton Roads before Monday.
 Orders to Commander
 The fact that orders were sent to the A | I- 4 H- A night, however. indicated that there was some urgency in the natter not explained by Secretary Daniels

 of the Crime

 Mr. King had been standing in front of his dresser, partially undressed. when he was shot through the back. Mrs King had retired and was choked to death after being gagged with a handkerchief. The crime was evidently committed last night just after MT. and Mrs King had returned from evening services at the Christian church.
 It is thought tonight that the double murder was committed by Frank Cagas- ka, known locally as Frank the Dutch- man. and that the motive was robbery. MT. King was a section foreman on the Southern railway and recently discharged Cagaska. who had worked under him. Last night MT. and Mrs King went to church. accompanied by Frank, and on their way home MT. King stopped at a fruitstand and bought some fruit. He told Cagaska to pay for 1t and he would give him the money when he got a $20 bill changed.
 That is the last seen of the couple alive Their bodies were discovered about o'clock tonight by Chief of Police w. A. Baker.
 Lying on Floor
 MT. King was crumpled up in front of the dresser and Mrs King was in the bed. A bullet had penetrated Kings spinal column. Kings empty pocketbool was found torn open His watch had been taken away by breaking the chain. They had been dead all night and all day. No suspicion was aroused by Kings failure to show up for work today. His men

London, March 27.-(n D. m.)-A Sofia dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph com pany says the mission of the German Field Marshal Won Der Goltz is to offer Bulgaria on behalf of Turkey the Enos- Midia line in return for Bulgaria's neu- tralty.
 The territory embraced by the line from Midia, on the Black sea, to Enos, on the Aegean, would add materially to that territory acquired by Bulgaria from Tur- key in the Balkan war. It includes the stronghold of Adrianople, Kirk Kilisseh and other important towns.

SUNDAY, JULY 18th

Throughout the civilized world
there is an ever-increasing and
insistant demand for development
and improvement. From the date
of its birth, within our own coun-
try there has been continued
struggle to better the conditions
of our people. In the betterment
o fconditions-poliical, CONNER
cial, industrial and social-there
has been vast difference of op-
lnion as to the best methods to
be employed oattain the desired
end.
Beyond the political, commer-
cial or industrial phase Of our ma
tional life there lies the greater,
more powerful and far reaching
force, the national moral charac-
ter Of our people, a force which
overshadows all others and goes
farther toward development and
/ Improvement. In the battle for ex-
istence, often the moral side has
been forgotten and the desire for
financial or personal gain has
dulled our moral eyesight, max
ing it difficult to distinguish be-
tween right and wrong. Allied
with this and hand in hand, the
three great demoralizers-strong
drink, drugs and White Slavery
have worked incessantly and per-
sistently to lower our standards
OF right. These three influences
have been a grave menace to our
national existence, but with the
aid of sensible legislation and the
gradual awakening of our people,
the first two have been to large
degree eliminated and there re-
mains the last and greatest evil,
the White Slave Traffic.
The International Purity Con-
gress has done splendid work in
endeavoring to stamp out these
three evils and with the view of
cooperating with them I, L. B.
Hanna. Governor, do hereby pro-
claim Sunday, July 18th.
